that all the year round it is "Lent in

not thinking they are rapidly unfitting
themselves for probably what would
have been their best and greatest work

force Is the great lesson of health, and
tnererore of life itself. To understand
how to relax Is to understand how to
strengthen nerves. Hearty laughter is
source of relaxation, as are also all
high thoughts, as those of hope, beau
