"Cheer up, the sun is shining,

To every cloud in sight ;
Just laugh at all your sorrow
And never weep or curse;
There's another day tomorrow,
And it may be worse!"

Cleveland Philosopher Believes He
Has Found the Only True Path
way to Joy.
A wealthy Cleveland philosopher be
lieves he has touxd the only true path
to happiness ant' the secret ot making
people tread the path. It is apprecia
tion and showing people that courtesy
and consequent happlnern pays in dol
lars and cents.
Incorporation papers have been filed
tor the Appreciation League ot the
United States by William Vernon
Backus, founder of the new cult, talos
ophy, which he believes is to become
world popular.
"Talosophy: The Art of Making
Happiness Epidemic," is the title of a
little book published by Mr. Backus
setting forth the philosophy of taloso
phy, which is to have every "Tal" re
port employes In any vocation foi
courtesy Instead of discourtesy.
Every member of the Appreciation
league is to be provided with cards
blanked to permit filling in the name
and business address of a clerk, con
ductor, postman, collector any one at
all. Then there are spaces in which tc
place a cross after any one or all of
the words, "Attentive, Cheerful, Sym
pathetic, Helpful, Courteous and Po
lite." "The Idea Is to have all of our mem
bers make out and mail these carde
whenever they find an employe or oth
er person who shows them cour
tesies," explained Mr. Backus. "We
then notify the employer of this report
and keep a complete filing record ol
the name ot every man commended.
"When an employe has received
three 'courtesy report' be is entitled
te a special letter from the league sec
retary to his employer and a badge of
merit bestowed by the league."

Bacteria la Public Baths.
Electroiyzed sea water, poured Into
swimming pools to small quantities,
haa proved to be an effective steriliser
to be used In the fight against noxious
bacteria. Its sterilizing action Is so
great, as experiment has shown, that
thirty gallons wfll keep the water to
an SfcOOO-eaUon tank clear and or
from bacterial organisms for several
days. And the electrolysed sea water
coats only about $10 per 1,000 gallons
The need ot such a steriliser Is shown
by the fact that In a treah water pond
of 100.000 gallons, used by no haul
ers, the bacteria have been known to
reaee from 600 to 342,000 per cubic
centimeter (about M6 cubic Inch) In
