Disinfectants

room will purify the air. For the
collar, when cleaning out in the.
spring, sprinkle a little copperas over
the floor, and let it slake through the
moisture, using no water. It will re
move bad odors from musty corners.
WINNERS WHO LOSE .
(By Charles Stelzlo in the Philadel
phia North American.)
Most of us dream of what we'll do
when the mortgage is paid off and all
the bills squared up, or when we win
the prize "just ahead." Then we'll
"settle down" and enjoy the comforts
of home and family.
But now well, it's night work and
day work and nerve strain and heart
apho hoping that some time we'll
(i have a chance to actually appreciate
; . the things which are already ours,
but which we haven't time to so much
as look at.
But, somehow, the prize that we
are trying to win is always "just
ahead." . It's always just out of
reach. And so the goal never seems
nearer to the eager pursuer.
You're nearing 50, maybe. You
have been fairly prosperous. It's
taken a great deal out of you tb
reach your present condition. You'll
never bo younger you already feel
that. You'll never enjoy life more
than today, if only you' could stop
long enough to take advantage of
your opportunities.
You're .starving your soul because
you never go to a concert or laRtnre.
Your wife goes, perhaps, and you feel
that you are a kind of martyr because
you don't. Once in a while you tell
her in a plaintive fashion that you
never go to such affairs. It doesn't
matter that she has pleaded with you
to take an evening off, or an after
noon, and go with her, but no-you're
"too busy." And you feel aggrieved
because she goes without you. And
therein she exhibits her eood sense.
If she were to tread the narrow road
in which you walk she'd wither men
tally and spiritually.
You are doing that, but you don't
know it. You have acquired a kind
of" momentum which you believe is
progress. It isn't. You've been out
of theunning for some time, but
you haven't found it out. Taken out
of your routine task, which requires
little originality or mental effort,
you'd be lost.
What an absurd way of living.
And when you consider that there
aren't so many years ahead of you,
it must seem all the more foolish. It's
very much better to get what one can
out of one's present possessions and
opportunities than to struggle for-

;;it wouia be a great thing for you if
y9n could take a quiet walk in the
woods. It would help, immensely if
you could be , persuaded to read a
gooq book. You can't enjoy a book?
Doesn t this prove that something
has gone gut ,of. your life? You
haven't a oesireto listen to music?
There was a.time wlienyou were fond
oJboth books and music' These still
have the same value they always had.
.When thj love of music went out
of your souj you diedby jUst so much.
And when the desire? to read good
bqoks passed away, you perished in
part, in a most vital -sense.' The man
who possesses he most abundant life
is he whose out-teach on life is great
est. Tested by - th'is standard, it
shPtLno-t be difficult to tell to what
extent you are actually living.
.;'. Ttfere aren't many men who pos
sess the riches of life which may by
right be theirs, They are free to
blame others because they have been
"robbed of their heritage," but actu
ally they have jdenrived.. themselves
or those things which constitute the
greatest gift or 6od'the appreciation
of.- the elements. :which go toward
making up the sum of life simply
because they have -neglected them.
' ' For life is made -Up of many little
things. .There, isno. one great goal
which, reaching, one may say that
happiness is now achieved. This is
but just and fair. For, were it re
quired of men to excel in the race in
order to win happiness, the great
mass would be deprived of that which
should be within the reacli of the
humblest. Perhaps this is why sim
ple minded folks are so rich in the
elements which ' produce peace and
joy. The bauble chasers, 4ind even
the inordinately ambitious may sneer
at them, but, down In their hearts,
they envy them their freedom from
the care which has become a canker
in their own souls.
Not to ,get too far away from the
situation in your own life by too
much philosophizing, suppose you
invite your wife to a good show or a
concert, or even a little social gather
ing. Or, what may be even better,
spend the evening at home with her,
alone, and talk about the old time
things that bring freshness and kin
dle love which may for a long time
have been strangers to you both.
