10 ACHING JOINTS AND SORE MUSCLES ARE SIGNALS OF DANGER Don't Let Rheumatism Strengthen Grip On You—Fight It With Goldine No. 2 If you were standing on a railroad track and saw a train approaching, ould you remain there, withqut mak- any effort to escape death or life- long injury? Of course, you wouldn't. But are you inviting death or lifelong invalidism by refusing to get out of the way of something just as terrible and destructive as that train—Rheu- matism? If your joints are aching, if your muscles are sore and stiff, you are get- ting just as much warning as the en- gineer gives when he toots the whistle of his train. These aches and pains are signals of rheumatism and signals of real danger, for rheumatism, if al- lowed to sgread through the system without opposition, can cause unlim- lted herm in your system and if let £0_long enough would result in death. ‘Which will you choose? Will you stav on the track, will you continue to suffer and let your body become more ind more crippled, without making any effort to save yourself? Or will you do as thousands of others have jone, use Godine No. 2 and fizht a w n- ning battle against the disease'that will surely cripple you and maybe make you a lifelong invalid?

At least, I find it in one of the “jol columns.” But, if you will. bite on it a bit, I think you'll gét a taste of something which is more than merely jocose. . Aunt Margaret used to be ‘always complaining, - She regarded herself as a martyr about three hundred and sixty days of the year, and as’a vic- tim the other five. One day she was complaining to a visitor that she was “so tired.” The .visitor tried to fim out what she had been doing to pro- duce such exhaustion, but without getting much light. ..In fact, as Aunt Margaret had done nothing more strenuous all day than sit by the win- dow and bewail her own sorrews, it was_difficult for her to explain her tiredness. But she kept on iterating {ft, just the same, till' her husband, bringing in an armful of wood for the stove, saw the visitor's perplexity apd remarked: “Oh, don’t worry; she’s chronically tired” - This world is full of men and wo- men who were born tired "and. have never outgrown it. It's a blessing— for them—that their Jungs work auto- matically. Else - it seems probable that they would find breathing toe hard work and would give up the ex- | ertion, Every town. and. village and city lhns its Sons of Rest.. They, forega- ther in the back rooms of country | stores ‘and city " tobacco shops: in summer the park settees gre apt to be constantly eccupied by them. Some- (times when two-handed men are working on a street, these critters form Sidewalk Committees and, with hands in pockets and cigars tilted at all sorts of angles, criticise the way in which the work is being “done. In the meantime their wives at home are carrying out the ashes or cutting the grass, according to the season. There was a time, not so long ago, either, when these imitations of men were- looked upon with a more or less good-natured contempt. - Ordinarily, they weren't considered worth getting mad at. - They were tolerated - be- cause, being. constructed along lines of human beings, it was dimly felt that they haq’ at-least the legal rights of such and.were entitled to life, liberty and the.pursuit of happi- ness—if, indeed, the. sitting still with mouths open for happiness to blow in to could be called a “pursuit” thereof. But we're changing all that, these da; The Sons of Rest are apparent- ly about to come into their own, at last. Meaning thereby that they're preparing to inherit the earth, and suck it dry. One energetic enough te forecast the - future might wonder what they'll live' on when they've completed their guctional programme, and extracted the last drop of juice from “the shrivelled world. But they are not worrying about that. Bless you, no; it would be too much treu- ble to do that. *“Here we go, d— our fool souls; somebody head us,” the tortured cry of a famous pols some years back, as he saw oved party about to commit political suicide. ~ But our modern Sons of Rest haven't vigor or vision enough to feel apprehension. The worst of it is that so many who once would. have revolted indignantly against any suggestion. that they sy pathized with that sort of thing' or that sort of animal seem now to be enlisted in those same ranks. There was. once a time when we were 21} workmen and we nearly ‘all took pride in our werk. . Whether it was of hands or of_ head, we sought after expertness and e ence there- in. We actually aspired for the dis- tinction of doing eur work well. ~We prided ourselves on our reputations for that. ,Or we envied those whose superior strength or ability enabled them to overpass us. That is. the most of us did—all did. who were i reckoned “of any acceunt.”” ' Do you happen to see very much of that going on, now-a-days? Instead of studying methods for doing more and better work- insteag of pressing forward towards the mark of any high calling whatever, we are new largely engaged in the quite different occupa- tion of finding out.how much we can get for the least value; how little we can do for the most wages. Instead of a ruling zeal for accomplishment at any reasonable cost, too many of us seem actuated by an itch to see how much easy graft we can rake off with the least possible accomplishment. Did {ou ever hear of George Shearer? - I neyer did till the other day. It seems that he entered a Mi- chigan Central freight office in a little Illinois village as a subordinate clerk, twenty-eight. years ago. The first VALUE OF HARDSHIP IN TRAINING TO MANLINESS | the | bor. | ! had never gathered enougp’ had ever been done before, He work- ed overtime and extra hard whey man who hates te carry out ashes will emergencies arose, and never put in any kick about wanting higher.pay for doing that work, because of which two things, he went pay. He took that new-work in the same spirit; did it better than it had been done. Wherefore, again, he was boosted to a still better place in three || yedrs; to another better yet soon af- [} pay. |} Wherever he was he did his best and || ter, each time with® bigger made good. All this time he was steadily ‘aiming at still more pay and pleasanter work. But—and here's the great_lesson of it all—he aimed to assure self of - that larger wage and that pleasanter work by demonstrating that he deserved it TFrom a local reputation he came’ un- der the watchful attention of the road's central and they He did so doing his assigned work so well that its aecomplishment would prove his fitness for even greater responsibility. And now he is general manager of the | Michigan Central liges, holding best position and highest rank road has in its gift. But you'll notice that he began this climb twenty-eight years ago. other freight clerk or other railroad employe beginning that game now? Certainly I hope so, but, somehow, the fact hasn’t got into the newspapers. ‘What gets-into the' newspapers is the quite different fact that_ thousands are constantly striking on any pretext or on. no pretext for less work and bigger pay in their present jobs. There's a world-wide difference be- tween campaigning for bettér pay by showing: ability to earn it,, and de- manding higher pay because of as- sumed power to confiscate it. The one process makes for prosperity and safeguards civilizat'on; the other pro- cess hamstrings prosperity and en- dangers civilization. Yet, after all, the present state of semi-anarchy in the world is only the natural result of our own conduct. For too many years we have been preach- ing and practising the gospel of Mol- \Iycoddle. Fool fathers and mothers have been deliberately bringing up their children to expect and desire iives of ease rather than of useful la- “My children shall not have to work as hard as I did.” How. many times we have heard that! Ang so they have been sheltered and cosseted and coddled and softened, in a- desire to’ protect them from the hardships which made men out of their fathers. Years ago on one ' of my hills two stocky pines grew side by gide and not over three feet apart. - Just be- hind the two ang no greater distance from either, shot' up Jady birch. The three trees grew rapidly, and the in- terlacing branches of the pines made a sort of cradle which steadied and supported the birch. Not long ago I had occasion for ‘the boards one of the pines would make and so cut it. In its fall it tore away many of the branches of the other pine, leay that lady birch unsupported. 'And the birch couldn’t hold itself up. Slowly it swayed over till its slender, gleaming trunk was hent into a half-circle and ts.top lay on the ground fifty feet from its base. I had to cut it, too, to get it out of the way, and found it practically worthless for anything, It wasn't even decent fuel. Simply because all its life it had been kept up by those two pines. it strength to hold .itself. erect when -they failed it. And the world is full of weakling human beings whose spinelessness is comparable to ‘that of this unfortu« nate-birch, and for the same reasons. The 0ld Hebrew .prophet warneq his people that they who sowed the wind shoulq reap the whirlwir, We're be- ginning to®see, now that it's too late, what: sort of fruit we may expect from the poison vine we've cultivated and nourished and smollycoddled so long. the the To my mind one of the chiefest val- ueg of the coyntry life, one of the ar- guments for it which should be most | alluring to real men, is that it com- pels you to earn your dinmer before you can eat it. .It is not an easy-go- ing life. ! So long as men-hold them- selves’ superior to clams this should be rateq a merit and not a drawback. It compels to energy .and forethought and thrift. It is a school in which hardship is the teacher’s ferule, under whose temporarily painful- ministra- tions traits of self-control and - education and upstanding strength develop. Develop as naturally and in- evitably as their opposites do in the hothouses and sun-parlors {oo” many of us seem to regard as more desira- ble forcing grounds.

I see-the smiling-meadows lush and green, With many a field of waving green between; I see through all the sunless mist and gloom The gardens rich with bright-hued leaves and bloom; And further on the harvest time I see, With golden grain and fruit on bush and tree; I see men wake to happy toil at morn, I hear the reaper’s hum, the rustling corn; I see the earth yield tribute, full and free, Which shall make glad the winter days to be, All these the rain shall bring us—blessed rain !

(Continued from Page Six) between this place and the Buckeye State city. A Mrs. L‘,Ay T. Thayer and son, Aylward, of Putnam®visited with relatives here on Thursday. The water rates’ controversy con- tinued to be reviewed by many. here jon Thursday, and the general opinion seemed to be that it will be well to sit tight for the present. If there are {to be any new proposals, they must come _from the water company. Great rcels of cable, to be run underground by the A.

A big motor truck, hauling a sceaper, was putting the battered highway in- to better condition. At Goodyear the year's building program is being advarniced and will be in full swing during the month of May. The work there this year will include the construction of 120 houses, a mill over 500 feet in length, a $100,-. 000 schoolhouse and some store build- ings. There is one thing that loca! people may be thankful for—the town ; of Killingly is free from labor troubles, as is usually the case; and none will say without fear of contradiction that labor is not as well off here as in any-other place in this part of New England. < On actount of the freight tie-up hosts of motor trucks are running over local roads, bringing in supplies of many kinds from near and distant points. One truck noticed 'Thursday was carrying a load of eight pianos. Danielson people are again agitatink the daylight saving problem, for such it seems to be during this.spring of 1920. No definite move to sée what action manufacturing concerns here intend to take ahout the matter, in view of the plan of the New Hav- en road, to adopt the new schedule, had been announced up to Thursday afternoon. 3 Notwithstanding the warning . of .Chief A.

Severdl of Putnam’s nhysicians were in conference at Danielson with physicians of that place relative to an adjustment of professional charg- es for service in territory Detween Danielson and Putnam. Spring moving days are here, and the many charges, a majority of them forced, are an indication that hous- ing problems in this city remain as acute as has been the case for the past three years.
