' The cry bas beea heard that this has

bids fair to be a good one. In the

Good health, of course, stimulates

man who makes others laugh does good,
for In laughter man forgets himself,
and we need to forget ourselves at

On the whole, it is safe to say, the
more laughter the less thought. The
loud, harsh laugh "speaks tne vacant
