For the many people who stayed up late} last night, eating more than they could digest and drinking beyond the verge of sobriety, the natural | physical result is <2 combine peni-| tence and remorse with goo | lutions, bigeile The two go together. Excess of any kind brings re- morse as one of nature’s punish-| ments. The making of good resolutions is felt necessary only when past| misconduct presents its account. The same people keep making the} i Same good resolutions year after year and breaking them year after y || Their common belief isthat the making of a resolution helps them “efrain from what they should not do and to do what they should do. | ‘his is very doubtful. | j A good resolution in the cases where the keeping of it is most neces- | ‘Bary ‘ More often provides a temptation than a resisting power. | _ If there were no temptations, it would logically follow that there} would be no yielding to temptation. The temptation to break a good] gesolufi 91 could not exist unless the good resolution were first made. ee ssecccesee NO: 16,934. ; The re are two ways of resisting temptations. One is to acquire a i eufficient. Stock of will power and moral resistance. The other is to al ' sh the tast © or desire to which the temptation appeals i Every man recalls how, when he was a small boy, candy appealed to j him. To revel in sour balls, peppenmint sticks and taffy was the dream { of his desire. Now when he is able to buy all the candy that he can eat he does not yield to the temptation because there is:none. The desire is gone. Every grown woman recalls the dolls of her small girl days, how) } she always wanted a more elaborate and expensive doll, how she envied | the dolls in shop windows and the temptation that it was to keep from Taga | taking from them the more costly dolls of ildrer icher neigh- | i i i me ire y dolls of the children of richer neigh Husbands and Wives Should Make Their Good Resolutions To-Day, Just as the temptations of boyhood vanish, the desire to go in swim- ming in a forbidden pool, to climb and strip an apple tree, to play with pistols and bows and arrows, to hunt Indians and to run away and go to sea, so the temptations of older ; 5 | fife can be made to vanish by the same process of satiety.

McCardell, “N= {t's the first of the year,” sald Mrs. Jarr, “we should make some good resolutions, I think.” | “We always do,” said Mr. Jarr, yanening, for! he had been seeing the old year out. | “Yes, but I mean that we should not only make the I'm certain jumping on p > wat G ak epiitions good regolutions but that we s! keep he isn't all t 2 tom making presolite ons, nftn pshaw!" said Mr. Jarr, who wasn't feeling at all! . yes, T dare si to sta f and women shouid ask themselves istic. “T doy why we make a ceremony of being said Mrs. Ja y ae o! ng We are going to be good in the coming D to-day what they are ured of and we should close the old year by being good.” they will find that the list includes Mr. Jarr said the words his mi s ern re, when he had spent more t vd rei many things that are not good for them. Instead of making a list of good resolutions which act as a temptation to offset satiety, simply tabulate the headaches of the past year, the indigestions that followed too heavy dinners, the worriments that turne out to be nee iless, and then,| ana | instead of resolving not to do any of these things, keep the list hands this me and review it from time to time. og | ees 18 gomi for ng tore! f Mrs. Jarr regarded ht “H'm!" you realize it's too late n Ali coming year than you did in the pas the old year do you think I would be ition drinking, an expense and ‘What else UYU spending you only hz king you to reform wied Mr, Jarr. ‘'Y r at 1 was going to say ys take a general discussion is that the Chinese go al r thing be we do. inamen pay their det year, that ts their New Year, with a clean y don't say ‘I’ll resolve to do better in the New Year,’ the end of the old year! 1 and your old Chinese!’ said Mrs, Jarr with some aspert 1 man Rangie have been eating that chop sury mess at knowing what {t's made of, but I suspect As for your sneer about paying bills, we do 1 1er people do and less than most people.

A recital of our country’s struggles with other nations presents fewer difficulties. Most of those disputes are far enough away to allow the right perspective. But the civil war—perhaps the deadliest conflict in all history—is different. Brother fought against r. Every battle, no matter which side won {t, was a national calamity and a blow at our country's welfare. Family quarrels are ever the bitterest. Thus, prejudice, rancor and hatred entered more than ordinarily into our civil war and render an unbiased description of it less eas One can therefore only relate as impartially as possidie such of its iumumerable hap- { penings, results of the unnatural combat that have come down fo us as undoubted facts. That the breach which threatened to wreck forever the United States is now forever healed; that the once warring sections are joined again into a mighty, indi ble world power; that all ill-feeling and partisan t iclsm are eternally buried; that the causes of the war are dead | North and South merged into one perfect brotherhood—all these facts speak | more eloquently than mere words. | Nearly 1,000,000 American lives and more than four billion dollars were | spent upon the civil war. Here in brief are the events which led up to it For many years the old bond of fellowship between North and South ‘had been weakening.
