There are two ways of facing trouble—facing it and coming to con- clusions with it, or running away from it. The average person who has sor- row, unhappiness or disappointment to face is.very likely to make a futile effort to conquer trouble, and if that proves vain .to seek diversiop-as a means of forgetting. Sorrow cannot be drowned. It seems to have more lives than the proverbial cat. The only way to meet trouble at all successfully isto face it and conquer it—if conquest is possi- ble—and if it is not possible to accept it and arrange life on a practical basis, according to your means and depriva- tions. Sorrow that is run away ffom has a way of running after. Sorrow that is drowned has a way of proving that it still lives. And trouble that is slain by dissipation becomes at last & haunting ghost. Running away from sorrow might be a practical possibility but for one thing. None o?us can run away from himself, “Myself have I ever with me,” said a great philosopher. And that is as |true a statement as it is simple. At some stage of life's game every- one is forced to turn-and face his dif- | ficulty, and when he does he finds “thal it is no product of circumstances |on the external world which is caus- ing his suffering, but rather his own nature. > A girl friend of mine went through two miserably unhappy love affairs. When the first man with whom she ilancicd herself in love jilted her she | plunged into a round of gayety in or- ider to forget him. But she did not forget. Diversion kept her busy and gave here the semblance of employ- ment, but deep within herself there grew a distrust of men and their loy- alty. | She became reckless and plunged |into a second affair with a man of whom she knew far too little. And he proved to be married. Then the |girl sought forgetfulness in travel. { . | Peach short cake is among the | most popular and delicious of dessert | dishes.

And then, for a third time, love came into her life, and for a third time she met with disloyalty. This time she went to work. Her one ability lay in de- signing clever hats. At the end of two years she had a very smart shop and a great deal of respect for herself as a young woman who could make a place for herself in the world of work. Recently she said to me the words that inspired this article: “No mat- ter how far away I am from the scene of my suffering, the memory of it came with me—for it was part of me. But when I stayed right there and faced the trouble, and determined to conquer myself, I succeeded. Good times and change of scene didn’t help me at all. Work did. When I filled my mind withs thoughts that centered on effort and success it just hadn’t any moare room for bitterness or doubt or cyncism.” Trouble is not what happens to you —it is the effect that happening has on you. Whine or whimper or try to run away and show that you are a coward who wants to dodge the issue and that bully Trouble comes after and torments you. Turn and face him and, like all bullies, he runs away. And then, of course, you need not be so silly as to run after him, Whenever, there is suffering to he met take ?rm—stand and fight it out on the spét.

"The Duty By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D. » We see and hear so much of the virtue of self-denial, the value of dis- cipline and repression, and the necessity for keeeping ourselves hard and fit, that we are apt to overlook the other side of the shield. Our earlier preachers of health laid powerful emphasis on the stern and unrelenting cultivation of the dis- agreeable—cold baths, 'plain food, loathsome exercise—aind come peril- ously near making hygienic virtue re- pulsive and the cult of health a gos- pel of discomfort. Most of the things you like to do were bad for you,“and almost every- thing specially recommended as health-giving—cold air, early rising and work between meals—was an abomination to the natural man. The most important equipment, next to a poor memory, for living to be a hundred is, in the archaic vernacular, “a calm sough,” a capac- ity for taking things more or less silently, easily, and philosophically. There are times, and frequently, when a masterly inactivity is the best road to_success, even in war. Yet we often hear this policy of taking things easy, “being good to yourself,” denounced as self-indulgent and softening, and also as stupid and not specially tending to develop the intelligence. 'And, of course, as an exclusive policy, or carried ‘%o ex- tremes, there may be truth in this. At any rate, indulgence needs to be mixed with frequent bouts of strenuousness and hardening and fighting, but life apd the struggle for existence will usually provide most of us with plenty of this sort of experience for corrective purposes, and there is no need for us to go out of our way to hunt this or any other kind of trouble. As to the charge that “being good to oneself” weakens the intelligence, now that we know how to do it scien- tifically, there is nothing that calls for more brains and good sense, to say nothing of tact and diplomacy, than to adjust and condition our sur- roundings to our requirements, by cutting out riction, worry, waste fatigue and unprofitable discomfort. There is no better time of year to begin this intelligent campaign for | “keeping cool and comfortable,” ex- ternally, bodily and mentally, than in the early summer. If there be any time in the year when one ought to be comfortable withput an effort or a thought, it is on “a day in June.” June time is the time of peace in which to cprepare for war. Don't wait until you are sweating and gasp- ing and heat-prostrated and mos- quito-bitten; beat the enemy to it. As a first step toward making your- self comfortable for the summer, it goes without saying that you will put screens over all the windows an doors of your house, and screen in at least one wide porch. Since we discovered that malaria is carried by mosquitoes and by no other means, and that flies carry typhoid, summer dysentery and other infec- tious diseases, screens have been lift- ed out of the class of mere comforts and luxuries and have become ne- ] cessities of life and health. If you have not wire screens and can’t afford them, or your landlord thinks he can’t afford them, cotton mosquito-bar screens will serve ad- mirably for one season. Next to fresh air in the campaign for coolness and comfort comes the necessity for abundant bathing and splashing and sponging with cool wa- ter. In hot weather the bathraom be- comes one ‘of the most important pyright, 1916, International News Service. Coolness rooms in the house, and a refresh- ingly cool bath in the morning and another one at night should be as regular as sunrise and sunset. t is an excellent thing to come home from business in time to get a luxurious bath before dinner,.and any time during the day :that you feel distressed by the heat, or have half an hour to spare, it is an excellent idea to take a bath if possible. When in doubt take a bath is an important rule in the game called life. For children free and frequent dabbling and splashing and paddling in water is even more important and health-progecting than in the case of adults, Heat, just plain heat, seldom does any very serious harm to grownups' who are in fair condition, but to chil- dren, with their translucent skins, and big brains, and delicate nervous sys- tems, heat is a serious danger. At times it seems literally to melt them like an overripe peach, or wilt them like a lettuce leaf. Their one protection is in their pro- fuse and abundant perspiration, which keeps them cool. Give the little ones a bath at least three times a day, and let them splash and rollick and play frog or fish in the tub as long as ever they wish. Last, and by no means least, in pthe comfort code comes the admoni- tion, “Be good to yourself in the matter of food in summertime.” For- tunately, there is usually an abund- ance of wholesome, appetizing foods to be had at this time of the year— such things as fruits, fresh vegeta- bles, milk, eggs, butter, ices and ice cream. ’ A high place in the summer diet should be given to ice cream, iced puddings and frozen custards. Their combinations of sugar and fat gives them high nutritive value, and they are readily digested by a healthy ° stomach, especially if eaten slowly, with plenty of good cake, home-made cookies or salted crackers. Every family should be equipped with a good ice cream freezer, and should use it at least three times a week. A couple of nice sandwiches, a large saucer of ice cream (one pint) and a'plate of good cookies make not only an attractive lunch, but a full meal with a fuel value of over a thousand calories. Of course, you don’t need quite g much of the substantial foods, par ticularly meat and fat, in summer as in winter, because they do give a little extra heat to the body—which is very useful in cold weather, but not needed now—but you can’t keep healthy and in good working condi- tion with a fair, yes, a liberal, amount of upbuilding food. . Many people feel weak and de- gressed and grouchy in hot weather ecause thefi' try to live on the prin- ciple that the less we eat the cooler we keep. Never forget that when there is real work to do, you must shovel coal under your boilers to do it with. Give yourself the widest leeway and liberty in matters of fit and color and weight; fit yourself and all your family out with plenty of cool, light-colored, loose-fitting cloth- ing of inexpensive materials that' will wash easily, and then wear just as little of it at a time as the law al- ows. Fortunately most of the absurd old conventions about formal dress, and stiff collars, and black clothes, and wearing your coat or hat upon all occasions, at the peril of your life, have, been done away with, or at lcast suspended during hot weather. On the other hand, everything that keeps you cool and fresh loo and pretty, provided it isn't tou or too stiff, helps to keep you ¢ fortable and in a good summer-time mood.
