THE FURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
Those rare phiiosophcrpntriots who
inadc the DcclarKtimi (?f Independence
enumeratod .uiik the tnalietiable
rights of man "Ilfe. liborlj and?
"The pursuit of hnppinoss."
Note the BaaafMfe "the pursuit of
happiness." What a pursuit! Men
every wbere and always have l>eeii
aeekbig for happiness and swestiug
for It and Hchcmlng nnd dyltiy for It.
And few are those who rti'd It.
Wny?
Because happiness is not soraething
you may dlscovor. llko a pold inine. It
Ia sonietliirm you eaotiot dig up or
ateal or cornor or bes or borrow. You
do not flnd it. It tinds you. That is
why niere "plcasure seokers" are of
all men most mlserable.
Happiness ls inoidental.
It ls a aort of human byproduet.
You flnd It only wheu you are looklng
for other things. It is n free Rlft that
nature gives when you least expeet It.
but always?always? it ls given to you
for behaving yourself.
**Be good and yon'll be happy."
The phraso has gone Into the slnng
language and is quoted often ln eyn
lctsm. but It formulatcs the phllosophy
of happiness Just the snme. You can?
not be bad and be happy. Put If you
are good you may be happy.
For instanoe, you cannot be selflsb
and be happy. And that is where
most of us tnlss it. You eaanot be
proud and be happy. You wlll be left
alone with your pride. You cannot be
happy by trylng to be happy.
How, then?
.Why. Nature is kind. after all. You
cannot bejr. bny. roax or force bappl
nesa from her. She will turn a deaf
earato your plnlnts and threats. But?
She may grant your wish. sny. ln
yomxlaily work or ln your service for
others.
Yon were made for work.
OMtMother Nature. who knows you.
who Tnade you and who some day will
ttnmake you. lets you lose yourself In
theajoy of workinjr. aud ere you are
?tware happiness steals over you. Wise
??ld mothor! She gives when we least
expect.
You were made for ser\ ice also.
And in dolng for others Nature re
serves her best pay. Call It what you
will. reflex acttoa or what not. this Is
the wise tipaittuca of tho rare. hnm
raeredAhronph thp rentnries?
Forgettyonrsplf. Reok to makr? happy
some fellow mnt, and that coy maid
en llapplnr-s. who erstwhlle turned
hpr back on your ardent wooing. wlll
pnuse a while and swoetly smlle on
you.

Foolish ones!
If one |? to Judse by the advertlse
ments of tho plairvoynnts and "psyehlc
palmists" and trnnce uu>diums and
card renders and solvers of the riddle
of the stars. there must be a great host
of j)orsons who patronizo those modern
fakirs.
Silly tribe of tbe humans!
What do tlioso poor mortals. who go
on their faklng itinorary about the
world aud who live from hand to
niouth. know about the futnre?
To be sure. tlioy reveal little of a
startllnp charartor when you come to
analyze thoir pnltry projecticms.
If you live lon^ onough you are llkely
to cross somo water. if ooc amonnts to
nnythlnjr ho will have at least one en
omy. sorrow is tho oommon heritage
of the race. thoro are a lot of black

the world. and most persons have some
sort of fortuiio ooming from overseaa.
Is there not trouble enotigh In front
of us withont reachlug out to borrow
some?and pay u good flfty cent plece

Wltless pntrons!
How the world has been hlindfolded
by prctentious folk who. from the days
of the witeh of Endor. have posed as
being nble to "summon spirits from
the vasty deop"-for a small prlce ln
hand pald!
The future ia veiled.
And happily so. Nature wiaely has
hlddcn from us tbe forthcomlng days.
Do you think for a moment she has re
vealod her aeorets to a greasy gypsy
woman or to Kome soothsnrinjr peddler

Let the future be and do not waate

The Secret of Youth
Do you ever wonder how you can remain young, or
why other women oldcr than you, look younger than you do?
The secret can be put in a few words: "Preserve
your health, and you will preserve your youth."
By "health" we mean not alone physical health. but
nerve health, as, sometimes, magnificently strong-looking
women are nervous wrecks.
But whether you are weak physically or nervously,
you need a tonic, and the best tonic for you is Cardui
t bmlds strength for the physical and nervous systems.
It helps put flesh on your bones and vitality into your nerves

My tather stepped over to the store and got her a bottle
of Cardui, which she took according to directions and now
she is up, able to do her housework and says she feels
like a new. woman." Try Cardui in ycur own case.
