A BRIGHT OUTLOOK
Every r»>:' brings as .esters of iaqaby i® regard

brings tag stories of how iswpsirses were ^ fired at
them right ant e-ft for infcrmatiotis afeou. the tsorth-*

jiteans that the- people have, at last cosse to realise
the fact that there are opportunities here gwag tv

nonotonua, colorless occupations. They will demand
, something active and less artificial. They will not
be content always to subordinate their movements to

BE KINDER TO YOURSELF
One- of the important things to know in life, es
SBCv-eed and remain with the country do to advance
a'xne. The ability to relax, the an of being jud
kiously laay, the tact to let herself alone has saved
ariEv r. woman from a nervous breakdown. We all
know the housewife who nags herself into such a
siate os' conscientiousness; that she is continually wor
rying herself with thoughts of the work that she is
! neglecting.
Tc wc-cr.au who nags Sierself can "rake herself more
miserable than anyone else possibly could. She
can riake her fife more of a nightmare than any mis
fortune eouM possibly make it If such women could
rearn to be Sander to themselves there is no doubt
that their own limes would be lengthened: and not
only that, but the lives of those with whom they come
. in close contact would be made far more pleasant.—
Mary Carol vn Davies.

The split in the Democratic ranks on the question
of preparedness, the moss vital issue immediately be
fore she country, seems another illustration of the in
raparity of the party t.> legislate intelligently on any
serious subject. It is a party of criticism, not of
periomBrt.—P- I.
