GET IN TUNE FOR CHRISTMAS.
A melancholy disposition is a nuisance, at any time ol
vear.
The grouchy man is merely endured and the sorrowful
man is only pitied, while the morose man is detested.
The worst nuisance in the world to himself and others
is the man who is constantly complaining and nursing hi?
woes. His woes may be mostly imaginary at first, but
they become real in time from the mind's dwelling upon
them.
Rome foolish women seem to think a sort of semi-
invalidism is genteel. They keep on hand a supply of lit
tie ailments that they put on or off as occasion suggests.
These are the chief topics ot their conversation, and tne
moral malaria exhales poisonous vapors that chill and de
press all who come within the atmosphere.
The readiest cure for such invalids lies in laughing. If
they can find nothing else to laugh at, let them laugh at
themselves.' Let them get out of the miasmic shadows
into the sunshine of content.
Most of us take ourselves too seriously. Our very sol
omity over little troubles is very funny if we only look at
it riant.
who can recall the little vexations and petty woes 01
yesterday, and remember the worry that was wasted over
them, without laughing? The petty woes of today will to
morrow appear as trivial as those of yesterday do today.
The time to laugh over them is now. Laugh, and they
will flee at once.
We can't all laugh always, but we can laugh a good
deal if we try. We can train ourselves to look on the
bright side of things.
The physiological benefits of cheerfulness are too ap
parent to be doubted. The mental, moral and spiritual
benefits, though not so clearly seen, are just as great.
The hearty laugh that comes of wholesome merriment
is the sunshine of life that drives the creeping gloom sha
dows from the face and routs skulking cares from the
heart.
Nothing costs so little and at the same time counts so
much for happiness and health as habitual cheerfulness,
It is the best medicine, the best tonic, the best stimulant
in the world.
This is a good time to try it out.

It is from such causes most cancers start, hence the ad:

FOE "THAT MAN'S" XMAS
Hero's the Answer to a Very Puzzling
Question
CHRISTMAS AT THE OLD HOME.
As Christmas approaches, what heart that is not cal
loused with creed and selfishness does not ache with
longing for the old home of childhood days?
At this mystical season, if at no other, memories o(
childhood become smiling angels that beckon us back
through the years.
Idle sentiment? Not at all.
All over our land Christmas brings back to the old
borne the children and the children's children, once more
to set our lips to the spring of love that is pure and unde
.filed. !
Whether we turn back to it from successes and joys,
or from failures and sorrows, the old home is ever a sanc
tuary of virtues and the sweetest earthly interpretation
ef heaven.
The king of finance and the prodigal once more be
come brothers, at the old home, and learn that the thing's
which seem so important to us in this world are, after all,
only a thin veneer.
Whether we be wise or ignorant, rich or poor, great or
little, the old home offers us satisfaction and inspiration
to be found nowhere else m the world.
If Christmas had no other meaning than just this
that it turns us back to the old home, that nursery of the
infinite, ami to the loves and dreams and longings' and re
solves of youth, the day would still be the happiest and
most helpful day in all the year.
Considering the weather, it might be proper to let up
on the discussion of the country's unnroparedncss for war
and size up how it is prepared for winter. The former
may be a possibility, but the latter is an evident fact.
