WIT IS HAPPINESS?
HArriESSiH undoulttedly the aim of lire. All lmnian beings
as ihey 'scurry hither -and yon, are emleavoriiiB in their mani
fold ways to secure happiness. I5ut many of them unfortiuiately
discover too late, that what they pictured as happiness, falls into
dust and ashes when they attain it.
There are almost as many rules of happiness as there are people
What. is happiness for one, is futility for another.
After a long and useful life, lieu Franklin announced that hap
piness was entirely a matter of (rood health, with particular refer
ence to the proper functioning of the liver. Carlyle, however main
tained there was no such thinjr as human happiness, the nearest ap
proach being an anodyne for pain, in the form of keeping busy,
which perhaps supports liens contention, fur Carlyle was chroni
cally dyspeptic.
In a recent sketch of Charles Lamb, however, we hid a for
midable obstacle for "Old Kichard" to surmount. Charles Lamb
never enjoyed what could be called good health, his life was full of
tragedy and disappointment Yet one can't read his essays, and
particularly his letters without admitting that as life goes, he Mas
an exceptionally happy man.
In trying to find Lamb's secret, there seems to bo nothing more
tangible than an extremely active sense of humor, and an indomit
able curiosity and interest, in everything, in everyone, in life, re
gardless of its quality.
In other words Lamb's nature appears to have been a sort of
crucible which turned every experience, good or bad, sad or gay,
tragic or comic, into something of interest, something to laugh
about or something to think about.
When his first piny was a complete failure, Lamb joined in the
hissing with great gusto, and when his sister stabbed his mother to
death, instead of 'being crushed by the horror, he proceeded to
find in it a new purpose in life, thereupon concentrating his best
years to restoring "poor Mary's reason."
Lamb never longed for the country when he was in Iho city; and
nover longed for the city when he was in the country, lie in
variably adjusted himself to whatever his environment happened
to be. Listen to this, an extract from a letter to Wadsworth:
"I have passed nil my clays In London until I havo formed as
many intense and local attachments as any of you mountaineers
can havo with dead nature. The lighted shops of tho Htrand and
of Fleet street; tho innumerable trades, tradesmen nnd custo
mers, coaches,, wagons, pluyhouHed; nil the bustle and wickedness
round about Covent Clardon; tbe very women nf tho town, the
watchmen, drunken scenes, rnttlcs; life awake, if you awake, at
nil hours of tho night; the crowds, tho very dirt and mud, tho Hun
Rhinitis upon houses and pavemonets. tho print shops, tho old
book stalls, parsons cheapening- books, coffee houses, -Bt earns of
soup from kitchens, tho puntlmines London itself a pantomino
and mnsquorudo all these things work themselves into my mind
and feed me, without a power of satiating me."
And after an excursion into village nnd country: "I am In love
' with tills green earth, the face of town and country, tho unspeak
ablo rural solitudes and tho sweet security of streets."
A philosophy like this can't be dismissed as the mere exurber
nnce of a perfect metabolism. It is more the product of an inner
spirit. And while the first rule for happiness is there are no rides;
we havo an idea that those who seek happiness can never come, very
close to it, until they achieve something akin to this spirit of Charles
Lamb.

VIRTUE'S REWARDS.
Tho title of today's talk I chose not
so much to aid and abet crossword
I) u ..lo makcrH, but from impulse. Tb
word rliivus means a corn or callus,
and a doctor just naturally seizes upon
a name like tliat to
cover his ftenerai ig
norance of the sub
ject as much ns pos
sible. Clavus. by
tho way, is one dis
ease which the form
es' barber healers

jut?Unr' the . victim's
Sliinw-tClavuff in the
shrewd eyes of the
former barber heal
er, looks very much
ns a fracture looked
i to tho author of another fad henlinj?
cult the laity 'is stUl rather hard
nc-uieu auout mese pcrrectly obvious
ailments.
Itefore we po any farther I want to
testify that I spertod 'callus as a noun
in the preceding -paragraph, no mat
ter how It mny be spelled here. As n
general rule, it comes out spelled as
an adjective. :
Paring or rutting or scraping away
corns Is a dangerous practice in any
case, unless it Is done under strict
aseptic conditions, which does not
mean merely using antiseptics. It is
probably bettor to remove a corn by
softening It chemically, nnd the most
satisfactory remedy for this purpose
Is salicylic acid. The standard formu
la is a solution of 30 grains of salicylic
acid in half an ounce of collodion.
This must bo kept in a' tightly stop
pered vial nnd care taken to keep the
fluid off the neck of the vial and off
the stopper. Otherwise the ether
evaporates from tho collodion, nnd
there is left a thick mass which is
useless until more ether is added to
dissolve it ngaln. Paint the corn or
callus with one coat of the salicylic
collodion every .day ' for a week or
longer. Keep the medicine off the
surrounding skin. .After several' such
applications the corn or callus will be
so soft that it can be easily wiped
nwny. Of course, it will soon retuYn
If the original catise is not removed.
For the soft corn the same treat
ment is sufficient, but special atten
tion is necessary to prevent moisture.
This may be done by keeping either
pledgets of absorbent cotton or little
folds of surgeon's gause between the
toes and changing these two or three
times a day. If thore is excessive
sweating of tho feet, that should be
treated, too.
The present styles In shoes Is about
the best ever, from the hygienic point
of view. Women's shoes this season
allow room for three or four toes to
the foot and some of the shoos for
men will tako five toes together and
still leave room for half hose.
X) HEX but a child I rcml n tale about a youth named rote,
who helped a woman, old and frail, across a crowded
street; he saw her safely to her door, since she was weak and
lame, and there she thanked him oVr ami o'er and asked him
for his name. Tho days ami weeks went by with speed, as
days and weeks will go, ami Tete forgot his kindly deed, while
rustling for the dough. It was his nature thus to aid the help
less and the old, nnd in such games he never played for grati
tude or gold. Imagine, then, the youth's surprise, when
lawyers Jinx & Jones, informed him, envy in their eyes, he'd
drawn n million, bones. The dame he helped, the good old soul,
was dead and buried now, and she had willed to him a roll that
well might choke a cw. And 1 resolved to lie in wait for some
poor feeble dnii and nobly Telp her to her gate, and there no
guerdon claim. If one old lady left a wail to such a boob as
Pete, T, ut would loog for dames ahroad and help them cross
the street. And when at lat I got in touch with such a siriek
frau, she spiked me roPudly with .her crutch, and rai?ed an
awful row. 1 tell this tale with dreary ache, and moralists re
join: "This IVte was good for goodness' sake, nnd you were

Tonsils and Voire.
Please tell me whether having the
tonsils removed will injure the voice
for singing. 1 have been told there is
a lining back of the palate called pil
lars of the throat and if these are de
stroyed one can never sing high. Is
there more danger of injury to the pll
lars if a local unesthetic is used, or is
the 'result more satisfactory when a
general anesthetic is used? Mrs. H.
J.N.)
Answer If the tonsils nro submerg
ed or If there are adhesions between
the tonsil and the pillar (the result of
old inflammation or long neglected
infection) there .is some risk of injury
to the pillar in the removal of the ton
sil, whother local or general anesthe
sia is used. As a general rule removal
of the tonsils improves the voice.

Kindly suggest a very good blood
purifier. In the spring some people
like to take something for the blood".
I have heard that tea made of sassa

it, or do you know of something bet

Is boxing good for a girl? Will It
be Injurious in later years? A friend

J. C.) . '
Answer I should not advise It for
girls. Better go in for swimming,
fencing, esthetic dancing, girls' bas
ketball, hiking, tennis, skating or gym
nasium class work. Every schoolboy,
however should bo required to pass a
proficiency test in boxing.

Is there any objection to drinking a
cupful of orange juice every morning?
Does it help to reduce? It counts as a
breakfast for me, as I do not eat any
thing else with it. (F. M.)
Answer Xo objection if you like it.
Of course no food helps to reduce, and
orange juieo lemon juice, grapefruit
lime or tangerine is food. All of these
citrus foods contain citric acid, with
more or less fruit sugar. The citric
acid gives tho tart taste. It Is readily
oxidlezd into carbonic acid In the blood
nnd the carbonic acid combines with
alkalies such as sodium and potassium
to for malkaline carbonates. There
fore nil of the citrus fruits or their
juices tend to diminish any tendency
toward acidosis or "atefd In tho sys
tem." They all tend to render the ur
ine alkaline.

HY F. C. REIMER,
Talent Experiment Station.
Tho local desert Is more beautiful
this spring than It has been at any
other tlmo since the writer came to
tlio valley. It Is now covered with
leagues of gold, purple and yellow.
Every resident of the valley should
make a special effort to see it, partic
ularly that portion alonK the Crater
Lake hishway liMween Medford and
Enstle Point.
The writer lias had several inni!ries
regardlm: the names of the flowers
now in bloom on the desert. The most
conspicuous and abundant nlant now
In bloom is known ns Gold Fields, nnd
belongs In the sunflower family. This
flower now di,niinates the entire
ii,M-t with its. endless waves of yel
low n:id C"m.
In maiiv lac.s the side. of the
h.iwjy ami many of the depressions
in the pastures and meadows are cov
ered wilh beautiful carpets of purnle
flowers, about six Inches high. This
is the purple or throe toothed clover.
It Is a true clover, furuUlies nutritious
pasture and, heing a legume, is a won
derful soil enricher.
The wet swales and hollows are cov
ered with a dainty white flower,
known, as scorpion flower or white
riddle neck. This belongs to the
borage family, which also Includes one
of our most abundant and obnoxious
weeds In alfalfa and (train fields,
namely the fire weed or fiddle neck.
This name is appropriate since the
flower raceme Is curved like the neck
of a fiddle.
In the pasture just north of the
Hubbard orchard a large area is cov
ered with delicate pink flowers, borne
In dense, round clusters on plants
about a foot high. This is the beautl
rul pink valerian.
On the ranch northwest of Hubbard
hill is a magnificent field of blue
