considering your physical ailments in
their misery making form and start
to think of ways Ct coping with them
and getting the better of them, then
you have faced recovery. Your ideas
are constructive. The thought is
What can do to get well?" instead
Of How terribly am suffering"
This does not mean that the pain
stops with the thought, but it does
signify that, bad as it is, you intend
that you shall succeed in getting the
better Of 1t, and not that it shall get
the better Of you, This determined at
titude to get well is one Of the greatest
helps a doctor can have in his efforts
to cure you. Give him this aid and
note how much more effective the
medicines and the treatments will
prove, for you are working with them
and not in opposition Stop talking
Of y;ur aches and pains.
Talk about any smallest improve
ment, or good condition, If you try
to find these you will discover some
thing that will be cheering FIR those
about you to hear and, incidentally
sorething that will be cheerful for you
yourself to dwell upon.

LIFE OF A CATERPILLAR.

A CATERPILLAR may be the off
~ spring of moth or a butterfly.
a Some Of them are beautifully
4 u marked. After you have be-
come familiar with the butterfly
and the moth you can tell whose child
is eating your vegetable or tree
They have beautiful coats of many
Colors. They have horns and warts and
tufts OF hair. They have the ability to
initiate their surroundings, and some of
them are provided with a5omizers. When
thus gifted, 1t is with a feeling of sad
ress you remember the caterpillar who
used you for a target.
Some are like little woolly bears and
curl up in a small ball If nolested.
Others have spines that break off if
touched. They burn like fury, and that
involves another caterpillar you can re-
member easily.
The silkworm is the offspring of a
creamy white moth. He eats the leaf
Of the mulberry and turns his spittle
into a thread of strong silk about / 900
feet long. 1t is very durable and can
be unwound on to a specially made
shuttle His product is worth about
S500000,000 a year.
There are caterpillars which dine
upon our cabbage. bean, celery and
nearly every vegetable we plant There
are others which wait in the egg state
