Enjoying Healthy Conditions
BT LTD1A LE BARON WALKER.
IT you would have health and hap
piness don't talk about sickness
and forget there is such a term
as financial depression. No one
ever got well as the result cf
dwelling on her suffering, nor became
wealthy contemplating how hard up
she was These are negative thoughts.
TALKING OF ONE'S AILMENTS
LEAVES A WOMAN MENTALLY AND
PHYSICALLY DEPRESSED.
destructive ideas The minute you stop
considering your physical ailments in
their misery-making form and start
to think of ways cf coping with them
and getting the better of them, then
you have faced recovery. Your ideas
are constructive The thought is
"What can I do to get well?" instead
of "How terribly I am suffering!"
This does not mean that the pain
stops with the thought, but it does
signify that, bad as it is. you Intend
that you shall succeed in grtting the
better of it. and not that it shall get
the better of you This d»t®rmined at
titude to get well Is one of the greatest
helps a doctor can have in his efforts
to cure you. Give him this aid and
note how much more effective the
medicines and the treatments will
prove, for you are working with them
and not in opposition. Stop talking
of yur aches and pains.
Talk about any smallest improve
ment, or good condition. If you try
to find these you will discover some
thing that will be cheering f r those
about you to hear and, incidentally,
something that will be cheerful for you
yourself to dwell upon
When you are in this happy frame
of mind you are actually fostering
g od health, since happiness is a fine
tonic. If you really want to g't well
and stay well you must steer clear of
sickness as a topic of conversation.
Strange as it may seem, there are per
sons who "enjoy po'r health.” They
delight in describing in detail all their
horrid symptoms and disagreeable feel
ings. Few of us are willing to be
classed with this group, but unless we
stop talking sickness w» show one dis
tinct sign of entering the e mpany.
As for talking cf depression, every
one really knows to do so keeps the
mind on the wrong side of the problem

NATURE’S
CHILDREN
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

LIFE OF A CATERPILLAR.
A CATE1RPILLAR may be the off
spring of a moth or a butterfly
Some of them are beautifully
marked. After you have be
come familiar with the butterflv
and the moth you can tell whose child
is eating your vegetable or tree.
They have beautiful coats of many
colors They have horns and warts and
tufts of hair. They have the ability to
imitate their surroundings, and some of
them are provided with atomizers. When
thus gifted, it is with a feeling of sad
ness you remember the caterpillar who
used you for a target.
Some are like little woolly bears and
curl up in a small ball if molested
Others have spines that break off if
touched. They burn like fury, and that
involves another caterpillar you can re
member easily.
Th° silkworm is the offspring of a
creamy white moth. H° eats the leaf
Of the mulberry and turns his spittle
into a thread of strong silk about 1.000
feet long It is very curable and can
be unwound on to a specially- made
shuttle. His product is worth about
$500,000,000 a year.
There are caterpillars which dine
upon our cabbage, bean, celerv and
nearly every vegetable we plant. There
are others which wait in the egg state
through freezing weather until our
fruit trees have tender leaves on them
The tent caterpillar builds a huge cir
cuslike tent and eats every leaf the
tree puts forth.
Some caterpillars crawl about, others
drop from silken ropes to the food near
by. Rarely do their parents partake of
food. But their children surely don't
take after them
The days of the caterpillar are spent
eating and outgrowing their clothes
When ready to Chang* a garment, they
fast for a day or two. While they are
standing still upon a rug of silk or
hanging tightly to a twig, the old gar
ment splits down the back, and the
newly clad specimen steps out of his
oast-off suit, which Is left hanging to
the boughs in a most untidy fashion.
The new suit is a loose-fitting one
Soon It is a little too snug for comfort
and is discarded. Several suits are ex
changed in the lifetime of a fat cater
pillar He lives to ear. Some of these
fellows get to be very la*g» The
hickory horn d»vll grows to the length
of 5 inches. He Is a very handsome
crea*ur® Hts great horns and warts
make him a fearsome looking fellow,
who depends upon his size and looks to
keep his enemies away.
When ready to exchange this form
and stage of existence for that of the
gay and free moth or butterfly, the
caterpillar spins a shelter of silk If he
is the offspring of the moth, and if of
the butterfly he Is likely to weave a
strong rop- of silk, fasten the ends to
a silken button and swing from this
halter.
Each spe-ies has a special type of
covering. Some line leaves with silk 1
and draw the edges about them O h’rs
weave blankets and other snug, tight
homes. They always provide for their
entrance Into the world again by leav
ing a flap or exit handy.
They are often made the babv car
riage of parasitic flies. Their soft body I
is easily punctured by the clever fly
mother The days of these victimized
caterpillars are numbered and are fi'led
with a gnawing, empty feeling. The
little enem'es are consuming hts body
end his life is the price of their exist
ence.

The ^ oman Who Makes Good
BY HELEN WOODWARD,
Whose uniquely successful career, both in business and private Ufa,
enables her to speak with authority on problems
of the modern woman.
Insuring Her Friends.
"Dear Miss Woodward: I am a col
lege graduate, 26 years old, but un
a-ained in any practical field. Circum
stances now force me to earn my living.
I have decid'd to
inter the insurance
Business as an
agent, as I have
taken a few courses
In that field while
it college and have
tnany friends on
svhcm I could de
pend as customers.
(Vculd you please
tell me what re

steps I should take

n order to obtain a license to sell in
surance. ANXIOUS.”
The best thing you can do is to get
n touch with a man who already has 1
in insurance agency cf his own, or the
read of the branch office of some big
nsurance company.
If you have good prospects, you would
lave no trouble getting a connection
cith such an office. And these practi- j
•al people would give you any informa
ton you need about licenses (if you1
leed them in your State) and would
fenerally clear the way fcr you.
Getting insurance from your friends
could give you a start, but you couldn't
jase a career on that. You have to be a
rood saleswoman, you have to be a
tuent talker, and you have to have
■normous energy’ to sell insurance.
It is a job that means working from
■he time you wake in the morning
intil 10 o'clock at night. It means
oining clubs; It means endless social
activity. But not for its own sake. You
nust think insurance constantly, no
natter what you do or where you go.
You should have some talent for flg
tres and you should study the business
horoughly before you try to sell policies,
rhe office you join would give you
ill the material you need to study.
Newspaper Work.
"Dear Miss Woodward; I am working
is a stenographer, but am much dis
atisfled. I am interested in newspaper
cork and wonder if you could tell me
tow to go about preparing for this I
cork. I have been graduated from high ,
chocl. but have no college training.
“I could not afford to give up my
iresent position and take a college
■curse. What could I study to fit my
;elf for such a Job as well as continue
ny Job until I could get something along
he line in which I am interested.
"M. E. B.”
There are hundreds of thousands of'
-...— — - - -- -- ’
girls and boys who want to become
newspaper workers. In that enormous
competition you have almost no chance
There are plenty of books you could
read, but they will not help you to get
a jcb.
Since you live in such a small town,
you may have this one chance—tiy to
get a job as a stenographer on your
local paper or on the local paper of
some nearby small town. While thera
you can keep your eyes open and learn
about newspapers. And then you can
work your way to a bigger paper and
finally to a big city newspaper
It is your only possibility. But it Is a
real one Most successful big city news
paper people started on small-town
papers. And stenography is the bat
tool a beginner can have.
