Life is largely a process of sim
ple addition.
The fact that two and two are
four is a tremendous fact.
Suppose you try to make two
and two three. You go to the i
poorhouse. Or to make two and
two live. You goto the peniten
tiary, Simple, you say?
Suppose you want to build up a
fortune.
You must begin with addition. It
is simple at first. But after you
have added awhile you can begin
to multiply. And that goes faster.
One rime one is one, but a hun
dred times one is a hundred. It is
the testimony of all men who have
suceeded in makingmoney that the
first thousand dollars is the hard
est to get. That thousand is the
foundation, the first layer of the
pyramid. It is easier to build
thereafter, because addition is slow
j and multiplication is rapid.
It is so of building character.
It is difficult aLfirst because you
are laying the foundation by a lay
er of right actions. Add up these
1 right actions and you develop a
habit. And habit multiplies. By
and by you acquire a momentum
i in habit that carries you right on.
It is the old Scripture story of
doubling the talent.
Or like the rolling snowball.
But you must add up the right
'. sort of things. If you try to add
up merely your ancestry, your
family, your social position, etc.,
you will soon find that your birth
right will not necessarily make
character.
Moreover
Birthright and position will not
count in the world's estimate. It
may please your pride, but if you
try 10 parade it you will become
ridiculous.
Begin with simple addition.
Add up slowly that which you ,
have really acquired of and by and S
for yourself. Like the snowball, j
the sum will be small at first, but j
it will grow. Two and two are !
four, but two times four are eight, j
Begin at the beginning. i
Most persons try to begin with j
multiplication rather than with sim-'
pie addition.
Most persons want to put the j
capstone on the pyramid without j
first laying the foundation and add- :
ing to the superstructure. j
First learn how to add.
After that multiplication will
come easy.

FINDING THE ROAD.
'Tis hard to find the true, right road to go,
And harder still to follow it when found.
'Tis hard to say each day not "yes" but "no,"
'Tis hard to keep the firm and central ground,
'Tis hard to see the light that shines ahead
When hearts are bowed so often in distress.
'Tis hard through windings of denial to thread
The narrow way where shadows wait to bless.
'Tis hard to say what's best for those we feel
Are ours by right to guide and to defend;
'Tis hard to pick and choose in life the real
From the false, Fickle and the dangerous friend,
'Tis hard to count our actions right and those
Of others wrong, when all of us so fail
To give God bfck the line and perfect rose
For seed he scatters in this human vale.
'Tis hard to judge another's faults when ours
Are likewise many and are likewise bad;
'Tis hard to find life is not always flowers,
That all days cannot help to make us glad.
'Tis hard to keep an equal temperament
XTien crosses come and plans all go awry
There is just one salvation to us sent,
And that's to hope, trust on, and still to try.
' l is hard to know what course we'd best pursue
When questions grave confront us day by day;
Or whether we unto ourselves are true
When pity touches and we start to sway
'Tis hard to keep the feet in that straight path
Which leads to life lived at its highest best;
And yet there is no heart that ever hath
Out of that path one moment of true rest.
'Tis hard to point with scorn at some one's fall,
When we ourselves may fall the selfsame way;
'Tis hard to crowd another to the wall,
When we ourselves may be pressed there some day.
"Tis hard to fail in that which life claims, though,
If we look upward with believing eyes,
Keep sweetly human and wher'er we go,
Safeguard the tongue, the life, the heart, from lies !
Kecipe for unhappiness: Think
only of yourself, caro only for
yourself, work only for your
nelf. Mix and use daily.
I f you doubt tho formula look
about you.
One of tho popular plays iH a
lino illustration. A rich man
has lived a self-centered life.
Kotows morbid and begins
to fancy lie is in ill health.
Learned physicians confirm
his fears. The old man.friglit
ened at every sympton of ap
proaching disease, resolves to
kill himself.
He rents a room in a cheap
tenement and prepares to blow
out his own brains.
As he raises his pistol to his
temple a ragged forlorn young
girl happens to come into bis
room and engages him in con
versation. She tells him her
trouble-real troubles calcula
ted to harass the mind and har
row the heart.
The girl does not complain.
She is bravely facing the fu
ture. She says she is fighting
to save her womanhood, what
ever else she may lose. And in
the depths of great misery she
is hopeful of success.
The revelation makes the old
man ashamed of his troubles,
most of which are imaginary.
He becomes interested in the
girl's struggle. He uses some
of his money to help her help
herself. In the end the old man
is restored to health and the
girl scores success.
It is the old story.
The man who was freezing
began to try to save the life of
bi eiiinenile In savins' the
! other man he saved himself.
; Therefore the recipe for hap
piness: Think of others, care
1 for others, labor for others.
Happily for our fellows, we
are so made that to be happy
, we must make others happy.
Trite, commonplace?
Yes, but eternally true.
Seltishness earns its own pun
ishment. Pushed to the ex
I treme, it becomes so much of a
burden that men will kill them
selves to rid them of the load.
( ienerosity is its own reward.
Both recipes may be relied
upon.
Po something for somebody
and be happy.
Po everything for your own
sake and be miserable.

Is it not reasonable to suppose that a medicine that did
so much for these girls will benefit any other girl who is
suffering with the same troubles? ,
Does it not seem the only sensible thing to give such a
medicine at least a trial ? You may be sure that it can do
you no harm, and there are lots of proof that it will do
you much good.
