FROM serious unemployment, sent a
DELEGATION to Fishwick, demanding
that sthe work be divided up, and
giving him two days to do it. In
stead Of dividing up the work, Fish
wick and the operator decided to
close the mine down completely. A
meeting of the N. M. U. local was
held and 20 new members joined up.

am very sure that If the victim oil
constipation will solemnly and unre-
servedly swear off from the use Of any
and all alleged aids of this sort and al
the same time firmly resolve to put his
trust in nature, he will then and there
cure himself to stay cured for the rest
of his life.
This Is all very easy for me to say
of course. I am well aware of the many
difficulties that confront the old phySic
habitue who would follow the course ]
suggest. But, nevertheless, know from
ample experience that it is absolutely
true, and therefore I do not hesitate to
commit myself in this way.
The essential thing, the idea am
striving to get over to the listener, is
not faith, but something more-confi-
dence, assurance, the certainty that ma
ture Is capable of handling the matter
In any and all circumstances If not in
terfered with. And, unfortunately, you
can interfere with nature very disas-
trously by the mere exercise of intro
spective thought, anxiety, worry, fear
or concern.
So you see, don't you, how indis-
pensable 1t Is for the success of your
effort to gain freedom from the thrall-
dom of pills and more injurious prac-
ticeS that one must first have confidence
In nature. Such confidence, 1t seems t.
me, comes from knowledge, from the
study of physiology. However, am
not competent judge of this, for ]
really don't know how the study OF
physiology may affect a layman who
has not studied the other branches oil
the science of man as I have.

Beautiful Ears.

Any woman who has beautiful ears
should arrange her hair so she can
show them, and If she has been hiding
them for years under mass Of fluffy
curls, she will be surprised to find what
an asset they are to her appearance.
Beautiful ears may count for almost as
much as beautiful eyes, but while wom-
en- do not all have the delicately nodded
Shell-like ears, every woman may have
nice ears If she gives them as much
case as she does her skin or hair.
The same general care that keeps the
skin Of face smooth and fine applies to
the ears, and take care to include the
skin at the back Of the ears to the base
Of the hair line. # the ears look pale
or yellow, scrub them with a complex
ion or bath brush to improve the circu-
lation, Be careful, however, not to give
harsh treatment to the ears, as 1t must
be remembered that the ear is a deli
cate organ. If paleness continues, you
may add q little rouge to the lobe Of
the ear at such times as you rouge your
skin. Encourage the circulation so the
ears viii not need this touch If you
can do it.
There are many ways now of arrang-
ing the hair so the ears may be shown,
and one Of these is when there is a
boyish bob. The women who have left
their hair grow so it is arranged in q
knot close to the head can always
comb the hair so the ear is exposed,
Of If the ear is not pretty at the top
some hair can come over that part
Another arrangement when the hair Is
short is to bring q lock of it down in
front Of the ear and brush the balance
of 1t back, leaving the ear In full view
Then some women show but one ear
and with certain types this Is very
attractive way of arranging the hair
So you may either show your ears OF

Put Your Trust in Nature.

unlimited confidence in the capability
Of nature to take care of the involun-

body One of these involuntary and
unconscious functions is the control and
regulation Of the digestive processes,
and particularly the motor activities or

canal. So long as an individual is alive
and not stricken by any grave organic
disease or mortal injury, nature will
take care of this function, all right,
until and unless interfered with.
The kind of interference that most
readily upsets the nice adjustments, the
wonderful coordination of nature in
the control and regulation of this func-

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs

Some people are noted for their tend
ency to praise any one and every one
who does something, be that something
| worthy of praise or otherwise. These
praise dispensers often go to extremes.
In so doing they reveal weakness
weakness for popularity and recogni-
ton. You might call this sort of prais-
ing patronizing praise.
Contrasted with these "gushers" there
are other people who never have a word
of praise for any one under any circum-
stances. They also reveal a weakness.
Suffering from a general feeling of in
feriority, they take no chances of ag-
gravating that feeling by finding any,
thing good to say of another. They
just cannot be reminded of their own
weakness by hearing about the virtues
of another, much less admitting such
virtues themselves. Such lack of praise
amounts to an open admission of in
feriority.
1t is a curious fact, but none the less
fact, that practically every one does
most of his praising in behalf OF those
who have the same defects. No one is
perfect No one is. entirely unconscious
of his own imperfections. Noticing the
same imperfections in another he Is
likely to say something nice about him,
in order to assume perfection he does
not himself possess.
The inmates of prisons display in
their choice of friendships the true
meaning of the psychology of praise.
Like recognizes like. The 10-year
servers somehow look down upon the
five-year servers. They behave as If
the five-year men were weaklings, to
have committed so small crime.
To sum up the psychology of praise
one needs first to consider but two
things-weakneSs and compensation for
it; in other words, inferiority and its
opposite, superiority. In this sense
praising is defense mechanism.
There is. of course, sort of praise
giving standing altogether outside the
question of inferiority and the compen-
sation for it. Such praise is offered
only when the praiser is reminded that
he lives in world of other people, all
of whom possess egos quite as impor-
tant as his own. Then praise turns out
to be something more enduring. We
call it honor, and set up enduring mon
uments in order to perpetuate our deci-
sions.

is true to a certain extent that the
smaller the dwelling the less housework
there is to do. but this does not apply
to meals nor to the looking out for the
psychological welfare of the family,
though it be of but two members.
The wife who works must assume
double responsibilities her employer
and to her home. The husband who is
income and outlay must be willing to
accept less of home life. It is a price
he must pay. He gets relief from ex-
pense, but at price. The woman who
Is away from home all day has to get
up earlier in the morning to do what
ever household tasks she cannot elimi-
nate, and she has to occupy herself
after, working hours In the finishing up
Of essential tasks. This Is the price she
pays, not in money but in energy.
The mother who has a daughter en-
gagged should help her to see that II she
continues to be q wage Garner the
pleasure of having her pay envelope Is
somewhat balanced by added response
bilities, and If she gives up earning she
has certain definite compensations, If
not so much ready money, in the single
and not the double responsibility and
definite freedom from extra work.
The mother who has q son engaged
should help him to see that If his wife
earns part of the income he must be
willing to put up with fewer home COM
forts, and do 1t gracefully, considering
the relief that his purse will feel. II
he Is hesitant about, this, she may help
him to realize that the wife should
have an allowance as compensation for
the work she does in home making, in
which she does not go outside to earn
money.
When but one is the wage Garner and
the other is the home maker both hus-
band and wife are actually working,
each in a specialized way. Though the
income may be less, the home comforts
are sure to be more. This is assuming
that the arrangement is mutually sat
sifactory. and that the wife's household
tasks are duly estimated at a money
value by the man, while the saving of
the husbands earnings and the thrifty
spending of them are duly estimated by
the woman.

Of asking for them at any of the So
called popular places for the business

least two-thirds of the fat ladies Of
