TTTR TAnjT CAPTTAL rotmNASLPTW, OWffQQN. SATURDAY, DEC. 9, 1916. THE VIEW OF LIFE BT LPCIIXB DACDBT. WHAT are jrour view of llf f It only something to be en dured? Ho yon r surrounding eem dull ind dUagreeable? j'A e (he people that you meet unat i tractive and unfriendly? Or do you 'enjoy every moment of life, tbe houri o work m well aa play? U there (something agreeable always heppen img to you and do friend spring up like mushroom wherever you go? The first claaa almost boast that It does not belong to tbe type which U born with a lucky temperament, who draw people by the force of their au 'jI?rlor natural attracttona. They do pot seem to tblak that they can ever !l9 different, hut that they must al ways remain In the rank of the lea ;tvored. It I true that many people are born with happy hearts and sweet dispo sitions. On the otber band, there are ,tuany who have never enjoyed good ili I Hi and have had besides a hard road to travel; yet they always have staunch friends to call upon. Why I this? Ralph Waldo Emenon ha per haps expressed most cleverly the les sor". He says, "We find in life exactly what wc put In It." !t seems a pretty stiff truth, but i k about you and see If It Is not irue. There is the woman in your block who seems to be entirely with out friends. Occasionally some gos sip will visit her; but she as surely comes out again with some tidbit slioitt her hostess. There Is no real friendship there, no give ami take of useful ideas, no mutual uplift, yet the woman has everything that would lead you to suppose that she could hive many friends. Then there is that poor Invalid. At flrjt glance it seems as if the people In your town were especially charita ble, because they never neglect her. Every time you have been there and yoi. are a frequent visitor -you find ofert there before you. You thluk bard for a moment and you realize 'that It Is not all unselfishness that I bring about your visit, it Is be I cause hc gives you something that J you can get no other place. She falr lly radiates cheer and an Indefinable joomfort, aud you go away bumbled, Iwtth a knowledge that you can never give her enough Jellies and desserts to equal the spiritual gifts she has eliowered upou you. This is why the appreciative wife lus an affectionate husband. It is the reason why children arc willing to tit- tasks that arc hard or uncongen ial, because the helping haqd of praise and encouragement Is there. A word of encouragemeut will go more than twice as far as discouragement. Hut you will say, that though you were agreeable to au acuualntance ths other day, she did not reciprocate. 1 may have beou because of some trouble worrying her, of else sho may not hare felt very well. This may not absolutely excuse her; but It explains W are finite ourselves aud wo can not expect others to be infinite. We have moods -so have they. In mo- .tnants or sorrow or physical pain, we also are apt to mako a bad impres sion, go, tpbB, we cannot expect more of others than of ourselves. And kindness Is never wasted, for after ward the recipient of our attentions rwjll think of us us gracious, and be !,n it. -fill that we did not seem to no jtlco her Impoliteness. friendship !s a huge game of glvu anil take. Do not think that you may i find lault with your friends at every it lrb, picking out their defects and I dwelling upon their imperfections, unless you arc willing to be eonslant 1 ly censured in return. a good plan to which many people hold Is tho setting aside every day of some time, no mutter how small, In which ihcy cn KP over the past day. and meditate upon thelv actions, and tl.r rights and wrongs. At such a time one will see most clearly just where she failed n friend, or hurt some one perhaps even more dear. Life may he compared to a mirror as glass wl.H catch the sun's rays, so our cheerful dispositions win be received by the world With open arms, and not only be credited to us, but Bent out again in all direction!; for Joy, like soriow, always doubles, triple nud continue to multiply un til It seems to till at bast one cor ner of the globe, (hough who in ly say how far It really spread?

WHEN yon are (electing a book for a small child you do not pay lo much attention to 'the form a you do to the morals and Interest the story holds. Form Is only considered as a mean of mak tug tbe book more readable. But, In a ibort time tbe form becomes moat Important, take every Impression, whether good or bad, and If the book Is ungrammatlcal. he grows like hi faulty model. Moreover, bis tastes become blunted, and he cannot appre ciate a well-written book. On the other band, good and beau tiful language, a It is found In our best poetry, not only satisfies the child but Inspires him. Many of our great poets owe ihelr auccess to some gift ed predecessor, and not only do we find this influence in tbelr early poems, but we can trace tl 3 same en riching vein throughout all of their masterpiece. So It is with the child. He cannot read and enjoy good poetry without carrying away some part of It style of expression, and a great deal of en thusiasm and inspiration and love Of beauty. Especially when the children are young, poetry should he read aloud to them. Begin by reading from a good selection of poems. "The I'oay Ring" may be followed by Reppller's "Hook of Famous Verse,' "Golden Numbers," and Palgrave's "Uolden Treasury," or "The Ox'ord Book of English Verse." If you prefer, you might read the poems of Longfellow, Whltller, Bryant and Tennyson after you have finished "The Rosy Ring.' Ail these books are collectlouB of rep resentatlve verse, and are useful to the child because they contain many short poems, easy to memorize. Among the poems written espe cially for chlldrn are "Child's Garden of Verse," by Stevenson; "Nonsense Books," by Lear; "Poetry for Chil dren," by Charles and Mary Lamb; "Rhymes of Childhood," by Riley; "Sundown Songs," by Richards; "When Life la Young, by Dodge. Wa must not forget, either, the nonsense verse or Lewla oil or childhood poems of Eufii'' t'l'ild. Of appeal lo young people are "I.'Al legro" and 'II Penseroso," by Milton; "Lays of Ancient Rome," by Maoau lay, aud selected poems of Holmes, Shelley, Keats, Longfellow, Scott. Burns, Hymn and Lowell.

If It is a torpid liver take calomel, one-tenth grain, every half-hour until you have taken ten (one grain) before bedtime, and before breakfast the next day take a tablespoonful of salts In a glass of hot water. But In the meantime, If the headache is bad, take some harmless but effective remedy, such as your doctor prescribes. For neuralgia pains heat applied locally Is soothtug and effective. To most pains any where, including headache, external heat is grateful and socthlug. It Is best to keep a rubber hot-water bag always in the house, as it 1 oue of the most comfortable ways of apply ing hoat. There should bo smaJl flan nel hags for covering the rubber bag, as It will make It more comfortable when next to the skin. g W EXERCISE ONE dRt m r""K?r m rati Thumbs Back CLOTHES ITH tho large majority of tlu women the great question this winter Is how to be ohic with out expense for the dress al lowance of the average woman Is not largo. Despite this fact moBt of us possess the feminine uud most lauda ble instinct for "looking nice." Every right-minded, natural woman is wholesomely interested in her clothes, and It is her bounden duty to mako herself attractive and to be well-drossed In tha, best sense in tho sense of not pandering to extrava gance or freaklshness, or going to any of these extremes which' 'are merely tho essence of bad dressing. We do not want empty vanity and self-adornment, but we need the self rospeot engendered by a certain amount of elegance and suitably pret ty attlro, but simply to please our selves and keep us sufficiently high in our own esteem. Dross has an enormous effect on the mentality of womankind, and bid dressing It generally a sign of either slothtulnesa or a slackening of the mental and eveu moral attitude. Flue feathers are not necessary, but it Is necegaary to pay the great attentiou to your skin, your hair, youV hands, your general grooming. Spend mon ey wisely on good things If few, have all your etceteras, such as hats, shoes and gloves, well chosen and Well thought out, your hair well brushed aud prettily done.

A lire is what wo make it. so also Is home what we make it. The peaceful, happy home in some sequestered spot i3 love's abiding place. It may be but a tiny shack in a Btl&ittg district or a stately mansion In a great city. What makes the real home, the happy home, .the true homo? A man and wife who love each oth er, who speak out to one another and to the world and are just what they seem; who keep their hands aud hearts clean and sive to the world the best they have, knowing the best will come back to them ; who scorn to harbor a revengeful thought; who have their convictions without ninllco ami who are bis and bra? enough to forgive aiifl fOtget when this is ueces sary. Sometimes, of course, one may err, then cannot the other overlook It, or if It is a real fault hlp to overcome It? Blot out as far as possible the disagreeable things in life; these will come, but they grow larger when you remember them, and the constant thought of acts of meanness or worse still, malice, will only make us more familiar with them. Obliterate every thing disagreeable from yesterday, start out with a clean page for to day, and write upon it. for sweet memory's sake, only those things which are lovely and lovable. Think that the loved one whose hand you touch, whose voice you hear aud tnto whose eye you look with so much confidence today may by to morrow be gone past your touch, out of your sight and remembrance; mar tcI that those of one household could U.

BORROWING O.ME girls have a boV.t of bor rowing sums on ail occasion, perhaps only a few cents at a time, but by the week' eud the amount Ib often big enough to take) up quite a large part of the salary. That means that the borrowing must be repeated the week following, aud so on, endlessly. What's more, borrowing a nickel here and a quarter there, they often fall to repay. The sum ia small, and those from whom they have borrowed do not feel like asking for It. But none tne less they don't enjoy los ing It. It la a bad, disintegrating habit, and if any of you are falling into it, my advice is to quit it at once, even If It means real hardship for awhile. Make up your mind that you- won't borrow a single cent, no matter what you have todeuy yourself, anuNtlck to It, It needs a lot of determination to break a habit, aud you will find U hard to keep from asking for a ITttie loan to "tide me over till tomorrow," or to buy this or that notion that has struck your fancy, or to make your lunch a little more elaborate. There are times when It Is neces sary, when It is wise, to borrow a sum of money. It is the avoidable, petty, habit-forming borrowing that is fatal, and that grows to be a vice. wonderful aid, because of the stimu lation to capillaries, glands and tis sues.
