Something to
By V. A.
ARE YOU WORTHY?
A COMMON and frequent complaint
nowndnys nmonj; self-esteemed
younff mon nnd wnncn Is Unit they
ore not making satisfactory progress.
With more or less petulance they
declare that their Incomes nre not
(sufficient to keep them In the style
Cn which they want to live.
Instead of being compelled to de
pend on popular shops for their
clothes, they yearn to he In position
Co patronize high-priced tailors nnd
dressmakers, and thus In their false
estimation keep step with the rich
by mnklng repeated shows of fine
feathers.
The plchlnn atmosphere In which
these hapless mortals arc surrounded
Is .most displeasing.
Any real effort to Improvo their
mental qualifications Is apart from
the question, and contrary to their
Inmost wishes.
Though npostles of laxity, devotees
of empty pleasures nnd devout dis
ciples at the shrine of prodigality,
these disgruntled young men and
Women openly Maine the world for
their Imagined plight, often condemn
ing their employers for holding them
down, when ns a matter of fact their
employers have nothing whatever to
do with It.
The man or woman who Is rcnlly
Hoslrous of rising to the surface
where ho or she can swim with head
above water must pull a hard, con
tinuous stroke, quite regardless of
what others are doing.
It Is I ho only Way to keep at the ,
top and keep moving ahead.
Drifting Is perilous to everybody
!who Indulges In It, certain In the end
to lend to disaster by wrecking the
fondest hopes and highest aspirations. ,
In spite of our vaunted pride of 1
progress, drifting Is becoming a nn
jtlonnl hnblt, particularly among, the
l)uny-mlnded who bend their knee to
Jtho god of gold rather than to the
god of wisdom.
Every good thing In life Is meas
ured by such persons with the tape ;

A GOOO LOSER
(TP WE all liked to lose, this would
t- be a shiftless and an ambltlonlcss
pife.
It Is natural to want to win In any
competition, business or athletic.
Any self-respecting man would like
(to feel that ho can outstrip the other
fellow In any raco ho enters.
IIo feels chagrined when he loses.
But If he amounts to anything he does
cot show It.
To whine, to loso your temper, to
Invent excuses, to show Jealousy If
you lose, Is poor sportsmanship and
poor Judgment.
You may feel badly because you
liavo lost, and you ought to, but re
member that you, and no ono else, arc
responsible. For If tho competition
(was ono In which you had no chance
o winning you shouldn't hnvo entered
It. If you did have a chance, It was
pour fault that you did not Improve
It.
Bo a good loser, therefore, nnd gen
Jorous to your opponent. But don't loso
too often.
Don't be so llttlo concerned nbout
losing tbnt you never try to win.
Don't feel that It ninkes no dllTer-
This world's need is men and women
great enough to bo small enough to be
used.

There Is such n thing ns being so

You nro perfectly Justified In feel

nnd his courage, and become n mere
cumberer of the enrth.
Try to win as hnrd as you can. If
you lose next time make up your
mind that you will win the next. De
termine that you will win ottener thnn
you loso and that you will win ns
nearly 100 per cent ns possible.
Then when you do lose, you can
bear It with n better grace, fov you
will know tbnt such a thing Is not

DOES SALT MAKE US
THIRSTY
ANYONE who has suffered from
nnsn.hlftofl rtr wlin line tnoti
Human blood knows that It contains
a considerable proportion of salt
approximately tho snino amount ns
Is present In sea water. This Is only
natural, because salt Is ono of tho
essentials of tho body and Is carried
through It by menus of tho veins nnd
arteries which feed the different parts
of tills Intricate mechanism.
When nn unusual amount of salt
Is tnken Into tho stomach, It reacts
In Wo ways. In the first place, tho
blood, being nlrendy supplied with nil
tho salt tbnt It cares to handle, de
clines to take on any more and the
snllno solution remains In tho stomnch
"uncalled for," as It were. Then,
too, salt rapidly absorbs wnter and
Its presence In tho stomnch causes that
organ to send out n hurry call for
some means of Hushing out tho excess
which cannot be utilized by the body,
The seiiRntlon of holng "thirsty" Is,
thorofore, merely tho manifestation
that tho stomach needs something with
which to dilute the unusual amount
of salt Just as when wo feel thirsty
from other causes It Is a sign that tho
body needs some kind of n liquid to
assist It In Its usual functions.
