THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1914, SOMETHING TO DO. OH, ye who comp'iain of the grin 1, remember th?se words (which are true'): Tbe dreariest job one can find is looking for aomethin' to do! Sometime, when my work seems a crime, end 1' m sorely tempted to sob, I think of the lone vanished time when I was out huntinz a job. I walk ed eighty miles every day, and climed forty thousand high stairs, and people would shoo me away, and pelt me with inkstands and chairs. And then, when the evening grew dark, I knew naught of comfort or easei I made me a bed in the park, for supper chewed bark from the trees. 1 looked through the windows at men who tackled their oysters squaba,' and probably grumbled again because they were tired of their job. And I was out their in the rain, with nothing to eat but my shoe, and filled with a madd ening pain because I bad noth ing to do. And now when I'm trempted to raise' the grand hail ing sign of distress, I think of those sorrowful days, and then I feel better, I cues?. I go at my labor* again with energy vital trad new, and say, as I toil in my dec, "Thank god, I have some thing to do!" Unclc Walt Mason. AM APPEAL FROM A ORILKINO MAM. About (even years ago I had nwifeaed one child, and a civil S SSBffiSS lo drinking. I lost my position on account of drink, was suspend ed from ay lodge (or misconduct while Intoxicated, and finally got to where I coud not even get Work as a common laborer. I tried to reform but found it impossible if I stayed in my home town; I tried to persuade my wife to move somewhere else or to let me go and then come to me after I had become estab lished somewhere else. She re lused to leave or to let me do so, and finally I Iran away from them in order to get away from the drink. I have been spending the past three years in the extreme "backwoods" scction of this state (Florida) guarding prisoners on turpentine farms, and abso luh ly awtfy from all liquor? yet when I had occasion to. make a short trip to one of our large cities a few weeks ago it was one trwaciidd?ui and continual strag gle to keep out of the barrooms, and I hope never to be obliged to spend another t wen ty-four hours In* "wet" town. ' TWf i? the situation after a threeyeera' trial at overcoming the liquor habit: ? My wife secured t divorce aa soon after I' left home at- possible, and at thirty-five years of age I am oMjfento stay away out ia the woods, cut off from everything I consider, makes life worth living; following en uncongenial occup ation and afraid to go among the people I was need to (or fear of again falling. If you can, through your magaiine, create a v sentiment that will make this eottany aefeior (how of us who hatefaDeo, it win certainly be appreciated by me at any rate. ?Americas Magazine. ? COHSMVATIOH OF HVMM LIFE life is (he great aitn of the age, and in this cause * the layman, the physician and the scientist must work hand in hand. How to conserve hi?pUh should be the matter of an open door to?a11, and with that splendid intcrrcst in the human race for which it is noted the medical fraternity is Riving such information as will be voluab'e to a'l people. The News and Observer, which advocates all matters which have to do with the better ment of the people, has sought to be of service in work of this kind, and it is now going to pub lish a series cf speial articles which it believes will.be foucd to be of value. These articles are by Dr. Al bert S. Gay, of Chicago. He is a physician, scientist, lecturer and writer, who has devoted himself for the past ten j ears to scientific research in the interest of disease prevention, and he has n^^ired a series'of articles emdodying the net results of bis study and exp eriencc, under the caption, "The Conservation of Human Life." These articles will prove of un questioned value to the public at large in this period when the tren of human thoughs is toward the attainment of physical well being efficiency and longer life. These articles go much deeper into the subject than the several current health-advice feature. Dr. Gay is working not only to-, ward the education of the people in the interest of better health, longevity and great efficiency, but indirectly for social better ment, which will naturally fol low in the train of improved physical and mental condition and the acquirement of self mas tery and the ncquiyitfual thought Dr. Gay proclaims the doctrine that the way to be well is to be sensible, and that being healths is a duty whtch each individual owes not alone to himself but to the human rare. His article?, which tare sane, illuminating contributions to the public's J knowledge of health principle, i will appear io the News and J Observer on Mondays, Wednes- j days and Fridays as features or ! the editorial page. ?
