SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-'

vi enough. ~
We are too serious, too re-
pressed, given too much to think.
ing about the sober side Of life.
To be sure, life is stern and
hard and cold. 1t would be absurd
to try and belittIe such facts. Yet
that is exactly why we should try
to laugh off at least some Of
life's darker aspects.
Laughter is the best antidote
for the disa greeable elements OF
living there Isl
Laughter. you see. feeds the
ego. That in itself makes it a
tonic.
When you laugh at a person
or a situation, you place yOerself
in position Of superiority in ref
erence TO the thing.
Besides. laughter is an excellent
safety valve for pent-up emotion.
A girl giggles when embarrass.
ed. When a man is accused of
some minor indiscretion, let us
say, of which he is guilty, he
often, and automatically, tries to
pass it off with laugh.
When we laugh at jokes, the
mechanism is the same.
Tile joke represents certain re.
pressiOns, certain thoughts and
feelings which socially, are held
to be taboo, and of which we are
more or less ashamed. But 1t Is
considered permissible to phras"
such repressions with a double
meaning and to laugh at them.
In the case OF the sex joke. for
instance, your laughter indicates
an emotional response to some
thing you would not dare or like
to admit in palmer and more un.
disguised terms.
1t is interesting to note, also,
that We tend to laugh at the mis-
fortunes of others. particularly
when they come Unexpectedly.
If a man slips on an orange
peel we laugh, and the more he
loses his dignity TIE heartier we
laugh.
Should such a misfortune. how
ever, do the victim physical IN
jury, then we stop laughing at
once. The predicamentS OF others
must not be too disastrous 10
evoke laugh.
From the physiological point of
view. as well as the Psychological.
laughter has value.
Laughter makes US breathe
deeper and expands the air saCs
in the lungs.
Have you ever observed how
well you feel after a good langh.
how a certain sense of we'll being
suffuses your whole body?
Try. therefore to get as much
laughter into your daily existence
as possible.
Read the comic strips in the
newspapers,
Attend the movie comedies.
Take in good farce or musical
comedy that features clown
comedian.
Vaudeville acts often can make
you laugh even il the comedy
il Of the slap-stick variety. But
no matter!
Laugh all you can and when:
ever you can.
- They talk about an apple a day
keeping the doctor away. Well, a
laugh a day works the same way.
1t is mighty good for you.
For after all. our emotional life
affects the well,beinE of our
physical organs. A laughless life
tpredisposes to disease more than a
life filled with msrfinsnt.

Listening to a Bird
. HE Chicago Herald and
And Looking at a Dollar

T HE Chicago Herald and
! Examiner prints these
pictures of the effects that the
first singing bird of Spring
has upon various minds.
The bird sings and stirs up
emotions in various bosoms.
Middle age that has acquired
eyeglasses and lost slimness
thinks tenderly of happy
Springs gone by. The girl of
the period is reminded of a
heavy date" for this evening.
The small boy wishes he could
get "just one good shot" To
the cat it is only a matter of
meat, and to the bird only an
expression of music and joy.
In how many different ways
we human beings look at the
same thing in life; for in
stance, at a dollar or a million
dollars?
Audubon, the great natural
ist, didn't look at the dollar at
all, saying, II am too busy to
make money" Some of our
so-called greatest men" in
America are so busy MAKING
MONEY that they never try
to do anything else.
One sees in money the op-
portunity to make himself
seem important. Big automO-
biles, big house, big every
thing.
Money to Thomas A. Edison
means opportunity to make
more experiments. He wishes
he had more money that he
might do more laboratory
work. And although he is
past his eightieth birthday the
new idea alone interests him
still.
To the young fool that in
herits it, money means the
possibility of rushing from one
folly to another, burning up
the candle of life and the for
tune simultaneously.
To the miser money means
strange happiness in HOARD
ING. Many men have spent
happy hours allowing heavy
gold pieces to run through
their fingers, plunging their
hands into the shining metal,
locking it up, hiding it care
fully, thinking, dreaming of
useless treasure, happy in the
knowledge that they have it
where they can get it and
doubly happy in the knowl-
edge that they are going to
