They have little money. but

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-


A MONG the most devitalizing
"A of character failings il the
habit of doubt.
Indecision. not knowing what
to think nor which course to
pursue, can become veritable
bugbear to happiness. -.v.v.
There are women who are I'M
able to decide which hat or dress
Is really becoming and they will
visit shop after shop. try on
dozens of garments, and then not
know what they ought to do.
Such a woman of my acQuaint.
ance used to become hysterical
whenever she had to go through
the ordeal of a purchase. no mat
ter what its kind. After finally
buying an article and carrying
it home she would again be as
sailed with SO much doubt that
1t ended in tears. She finally
had to be treated for 1t.
Men are not free from the OBJ
session of doubt either.
There are those who never sue
coed in business because they are
unable to make up their minds.
They think and puzzle until 1t
is too late, until some one else
does the thing and gets In ahead
Of them.
And, strangely enough, indi.
viduals of unusually quick deci.
sion. those who make so-called
snap judgments" are often
those who are really doubling
Thomases at heart.
The reason they jump to con.
clusions so fast and furiousIy is
because they fear to hesitate.
They know from experience that
il they hesitate doubt will assaiI
and overwhelm them. Hence they
do not give themselves time to
think.
The French have an expression
for the doubling failure and 1t
Is called ''Folie de doute."
It really means a doubling ma.
mia. The expression is used in
psychology, and often the use Of
the word mania In this connec.
ton Is no exaggeration Of the
facts.
It bothers some only when i'm
portant matters are at issue.
Others doubt only, where the
question of love or fidelity is in
volved. Some only are doubtful
when it comes to money.
Hundreds, IL not thousands,
doubt their own ability. This is
q kind of inferiority conviction.
There are scores and scores of
men and women who doubt
whether or not they locked the
front door, or turned off the gas
in the kitchen range, or whether
they put stamp on the letter
just dropped into the mail box
and so it goes on.
There are likewise persons who
do not begin to doubt until a
question is asked concerning 1t.
Mary Jones, for instance, sees to
1t that the cat is in the house
every night before retiring. She
goes through the same experience
day after day without wondering
afterward, at all.
But ask her point blank II she
IL sure she called the cat and
she has no peace until she hunts
the cat all over again.
This is accomplished by the
practice OF doing little things
quickly and effectively.
If you find yourself hesitating
whether to go for a walk or stay
at home. choose Immediately the
course that viii make you active.
Take walk If it be but . hum
dred feet.
In this way you stop doubling
because you have actually &C.
complished something.
When doubt becomes a veritable
nightmare 1t requires speciAs
nerve treatment.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
By Helen Rowland

Amour SOuffle
COME husbands are like guest
y towels. not bit of use In the
world except to show off to other
women.
The heart of a confirmed fiirt
is like punching bag; it is easily
started going" but impossible
to make any lasting impression
upon 1t.
Every now and then, Just as
YOU have decided that the writing
OF love letters, like blacksmithing,
is one of the lost arts, some of
those "Daddy.loves- Baby-Do let
tiers get into the newspapers, and
you realize that dear old human
nature is running right along on
the same tracks.
One of the crosses OF mans
life is woman's passion for "emot-
ing" when a girl pours her heart
out to him, he feels as though
somebody had spilled a plate of
hot soup down his back.
Lots of advice in this world is
superfluous. Most men don't
reach for a sweet" these days.
They just Toll back and wait for
"sweetie" to reach for them.
All the girls in the senior class
OF a. Southern college admit that
they hope and expect to marry.
Apparently, pursuing a higher
education IL no longer incompat-
ible with pursuing a husband: In
fact, it's the most popular way.
A woman can forgive a man
for almost anything-except for
not giving her anything to forgive
him foE.
It's a wise man who takes time
to put out the fire, before he
throws aside a cigarette-or q
woman.
A woman never knows what
killed love any more than she
knows what killed her engine;
she is only aware that 1t went
dead" all of sudden.
As long as Satan can make q
woman believe that she can re-
form a rake and turn a philan-
derer into a one-woman man, the
ladies' will keep His Majesty's
business running.

SELF SERVICE

Many good folk lamenting the passing of the
era when mer and women consecrated their lives to
unseish service and prepared themselves to become
ministers missionaries teachers country doctors that
they might administer to the spiritual mental and ply
slcaL needs OF humanity without thought of large
worldly gain They not in error when they charge
that modern men and women choosing vocations
today in which they the greatest service to them
selves
People today are coming to the belief that the best
way they help others to produce much that their
profit shall be large and that they shall never become
dependent upon society," The old idea of service was
drest The new service is Indirect Twenty years ago
1t was still thought that only minister's doctors and
teachers served humanity Today every workman who
carries his whol5 days wage home is known to have
earned that wage in service to society.
Ebert Hubbard's version of the Golden Rule was
do unto others as though you the Others" but
an even more lptodate version is "Do yourself much
good and no bad to Others" Getting something for
yourself is reprehensoe only when it gotten at the
expense of another.

Traffic accidents kill few thousands of men,

THE AGE-OLD PASTiME

Although in the down town districts of our cities
the side walks are still crowded with pedestrians it
is probably true that walking has become an obso-
lete pastme in America. The rushing in and out of
stores in the shopping districts isn't walking anyway
in the opinion of lovers of that form of physical
ercise.
We have lost the feeling of leisure which in for
mer days was so conducive to walking. Even in
motoring seem to be possessed of the idea that
must hurry to get somewhere, although we may have
no particular destination in mind. An Englishman
who during his visits to this country spent much
time in walking said of that the pictures in period
icals representing the occupants of automobiles
clining in luxury and enjoying magnificent scenery
did not depict truly That is the way we cover
the miles.
He greatly amused over the fact that dur
ing his walking tours he frequently offered rides
by motorists; "they do not to understand" he
says, that man walking tour is not in need of
vehicular conveyance They act if the best thing
about walking is giving it up and having ride
Obviously the automobile does not permit Of
sauntering When the road is good, there comes the
irresistible impulse to make the most of it. which to
nearly all drivers means anywhere from 35 to so
miles hour. And consequently there is lacking the
opportunity for quiet enjoyment of the passing land
scape; and lacking too the nducement for reflection
and restful edtation which walking either by ones
self with agreeable companions makes almost inev
table In it's way motoring has it's pleasures, and
on the whole they no less than those of walking
And perhaps in the stress Of modern life it is only nat
ura chat we should have taken to the thrilproducing
form Of exercise.
