The eternal gospel of laughter is an antidote for many of the misfor tunes of life, and the person who can spread his or her infectious humor of laughter broadcast is a blessing. VC'e Americans love fun and humor in the most strenuous of limes. The whole-souled, well balanced man of healthy body and mind dearly enjoys a laugh. The man of grouch is disappearing, ind we are glad to see him go. The man with the smile and ihe twinkle, whose laugh rings hearty and true, and who spreads a con tagion of mirth he is the man we welcome everywhere. That kind of a man is everybody's friend. Let a few thrills of humor run ever so weakly through ihe veins and "tickle the risibles." The hosiile forces of disease can be driven back by ihe benevolent microbes of mirth. Bullets, brickbats and hollies arc poor ammunitions for the bat tles of life and "the blues." Lay in a supply of laughter. Siore up a battery of smiles. Stuff the mag azine with mirth. These are the ammunition 10 win your hard bat tles. Charge your enemy with bayonets of wit. Train humor upon him, and shoot him full of chuckles. Undermine him with laughter and let it explode. All the armies of grouch will be put to route by the cheerful charge of your merry heart and their bat teries of fun. Then let us laugh ! It is the cheapest luxury man can enjoy, and, as Charles Lamb says, "is worth a hundred groans in any stale of ihe market." It siirs up ihe blood; expands the chest; electrifies the nerves; clears away the cobwebs from the brain, and gives the whole system a shock to which the volioipilt is as noth ing, lis delicious alchemy con verts even tears into the quintes sence of merriment, and makes wrinkles themselves expressive of yuuih and frolic. Ltiuuli all you can. And then laugh some more. Everything. But a man usually drops his prosperous look when a bill col lector calls.

Sweetheart, we've traveled far toward ihe selling of ihe sun. For you and me, dear wife of mine, ihe race is nearly run. But, lass, we fared with merry heart life's sunny summer ways, And found the haunts of happiness when winter crossed our days. VC'e ringed ihe clock with joy around on many a morn in May; And now December's frosty breath has turned your tresses gray. You're just as fair to me, dear heart, as when we both were young, And lightly on the highway, lass, your tripping footstep rung. And still your voice is sweet as when in frolic days of old Your laughter rippled down the wind in notes of liquid gold. Though sorrow shadowed us at times, we've had our share of fun; And hand in hand, sweetheart, we'll greet the selling of ihe sun.

Worry and anxiety are the great killers. Worry has the physical effect of breaking down the nerve centers and making one less able to do one's work or io meet any difficulty. Don't cross the bridge be fore you come to it. Meet every trouble as it arises. 11. Accept cheerfully your place in life while you are in it, believing that it is the best possible place for you. This does not mean that one should not strive io belter his condition, but it means that while you are in one position make the most of ii and don't be envious, fretful, and jealous of others. "Oh," you say, "if I just had something else, or were in some other situation, I could be happy." No you would not be. If you cannot command happiness in your present position you could not find it in another. HI. Throw your whole soul and spirit into your work, and do it the best you know how. No maiter what your work is, while you are in it you must make a delight of doing it well or you will never be happy. IV. Get into the habit of doing bits of kindness and counesies to all ihose who touch your life each day. This means at home, principally. Any one can be polite and plesant and thoughtful when out on dress parade. But the folks who love yc most and whom y" most love are those in your own household or immediate surroundings. Try thoughifulness, kindness and cour tesy with them husband to wife, wife to husband, children to parents, parents to children, Drotners to sisters unu sisters to Droiners. V. Adopt and maintain a simple, childlike attitude of confidence and trust in God as your own Father. From a report of Dr. Charles E. Barker's lecture, "How to Live to be One Hundred Years Old." A homely girl can derstand why people men are mashers. seldom un think some What has become of the old fashioned boy who would rather stay at home and work than go to school ?
