Something to Think About
By F. A. TDALKEE
THE COMMON
RUN
By DOUGLAS M ALLOCH
YOUR WORST ENEMY
IF YOU will make a ■lurching and
an impartial Investigation of the
matter, you will dlacover that jrour
worst enpmy la right at jrour elbow,
seeking at crucial momeuta of your
life to oppoae your good effort* and
circumvent your cberlabed plana.
He la bealde you In the morning
when the gray light of dawn herald*
the coming aun, biding an opportunity
to atrlke you In a vital apot; he puta
hia arm In yours aa you hurry down
to the break fust table, aeeklng to win
jomr confidence; be paasea with you
through the atreet doorway aa you
hie away to your dally vocation, and
tf something hns gone amlaa In the
dining room, he anugglea up cloaely
and begins to whlaper In your always
willing ear especially chosen words
of sympathy, telling yos how you are
Imposed upon by others, to whom you
should resentfully reply.
By the time you reach your desk,
your place behind the counter, your
chnlr before the typewriter, your
bench, or whatever estate you may
occupy In the tower of toll, you are
In a decidedly uncomfortable mood.
And you have only to look around
you to become Irritable, quarrelsome
and obdurate at another nudge from
your pestering enemy, who seems rea-
-fas Anyone Laughec
At You
Because —
You are self-confident? You're
pretty tired aren't you of being
called conceited? Of course
there's a risk of being conceited
here. Yet self-confldence pure
and simple Is a great thing' to
have—It means that you have
courage to put things through,
that you don't "fall down" when
you're up against It hard, that
you aren't afraid to tackle a
new situation and, too, that peo-
ple about you can "catch" cour-
age. People may think you are
conceited, but you need not be.
SO
Your Get-away Hers Is:
To be -sure you do not think
you're the great "I Am" but that
you are enough of a person to
get your goal with the love of
others rather than with their
dislike.
(( by McClure Nmptptr Syndicate )
Uncommon
sonably sure that before the day Is
over you will burl out a volley of
flery vocablea, scowl at the manager,
whlcb Is becoming a habit, snd re-
turn to your home at night with an-
ger, dlagusted with your Intimates
and with youraelf aa well.
Nothing seems rtgbt. Yon are sure
that nobody can be trusted. Y«>u are
suspicious of manifest kindness aud
unaelflah Intentions.
You are positive that those who
proffer them are scheming for some
terrible purpose, trying by friendly
overtures In pleaaant words and of-
fers of aaalstance, to take aorne mean
advantage of you.
And this is the madness that gen-
erally leads to your undoing—the mad-
ness that your worat enemy, If per-
mitted to work upon your sensibili-
ties without restraint. Invariably pro-
duces.
If you will sit yourself down com-
posedly, at the end of a trying day,
and reflect seriously, you may with
but little difficulty guess who this ene-
my Is. If guesslug should be too Irk-
some. In the mood you are, raise your
eyes to the mirror across the room
and you will see in the polished glass
your own perturbed self—your worst
enemy!

And yet I think we understand
Kacb other pretty fair:
You're Juat the common kind Ilk* s#*.
And I am Juat like you—
We have our troubles two or tbr**,
And bav* our work to do.
We look on llfe'a old fashloood ways.
Although we are not old.
And think th* truth of early days
(iood truth to which to bold:
There's nothing right on earth but
right,
And wrong Is alwaya wrong.
And black la black and whit* la whit*,
The same aa ail along
We haven't read th* latest proof
Tlier* Isn't sny God—
We, asrrow-mlnded, keep aloof
And stay on old sod.
We're Ignorant of culta and creeds.
And creeds that knock them flat;
We Judge of people by their deeds,
And let It go at that.
We think that laughter beau a tear,
That honesty's the test;
We live the day, and thus the year.
And try to do our best.
We've had some grief, a burt or so,
But had a lot of fun—
I guess, If we could really know.
We're Just the common run.

YOUR AMUSEMENTS
AMUSEMENT Is useful and neces-
sary. Without It the world would
not only be a dull place but an Impos-
sible place.
Qamea, theaters, novels, everything
that helps you enjoy your leisure, are
Just as necessary as the faculties that
help you do your work.
Expensive amusements, however,
are only for the rich. The man who
baa his *ay to make needs amuse-
ment. but he cannot afford to con-
tribute to It very heavily.
And unless he can make his amuse-
ment pay for Itself he will never get
hslf as much aa hr needs.
Fortunately It Is very easy to make
amusement return enough profit so
that It is practically free.
Outdoor amusements, from the cost-
ly golf to the inexpensive walking, can
•II be made to pay If they return In
health what they cost In money.
All of them will do so If tbey are In-
dulged In wisely.
Msny a man gets out of golf or ten-
nis a physical condition which could
not be had at any price save that of
money and time spent In exercise.
The man who can enjoy no exercise

but golf had better play golf. If he
plays regularly he will keep his blood
In circulation, digest his food and sup-
ply his lungs with the oxygen that his
body needs for Its complicated proc-
esses.
If tennis is the only thing he likes,
he had better pluy tennis than let his
body run to seed for want of care.
He can get as much out of walking
as he can out of golf or tennis. But
most men will not walk and they will
play games. So the games earn their
keep In health and are not an extrava-
gance.
If you read the right kind of novels
and go to the rlght_kind of plays they
will stimulate thought and may pay
for themselves many times over.
Trash between covers or on the
stage does nobody any good, and I*
consequently too expensive to Indulge
In.
Don't be afraid of spending money
on recreation If It Is Intelligent recrea-
tion. The money will be returned In
the end. It Is not an extravagance. It
is merely a necessity of life, coated
pleasantly with the sugar of enjoy-
ment.

"At that tlm* I took two or three
bottles and was perfectly well again,
tlnce then I have taken a bottle two
or three tlmea a year and no one could
feel better. I have done lots of nurs-

so much for me I have been the canse

with splendid results. It is with this

gome time ago a young man went
to a great store In Chicago to apply
for a position and was fortunate
enough to be shown into the office of
the merchant prince himself, to whom
he stated the object of his call.
The merchant was favorably im-
pressed with his appearance and ad-
dress, and after asking him a few
questions relative to his business ex-
perience, promised him a place In his
employ. But the caller, who evidently
had expected to be more rigorously
catechized, thought It best to volun-
teer additional Information.
"If you wish," he began, "to know
something of my antecedents—"
"I don't care to know anything
about your antecedents, young man,"
Interrupted the merchant with a smile.
"If your subsequents are all right,
you'll do. You may report to Mr.

While Christmas savings clubs ori®.
lnated about 15 years ago, the World
war Is credited with the tremendou
growth recently In the number of de-
positors, and, of course, the totals of
savings.
The weekly payment system for Lib-
erty bonds, regular purchases of
Thrift and War Savings stamps and
more or less regular frequent con-
tributions to the war funds got the
average American into the habit of
putting aside something out of th*
pay envelope.
"Employers adopted the system of
taking the payments out of the salary,
and as the amounts were only a dollar
or two a week, it wasn't missed so
much," explained a Hyde Park banker
to the Woman. "When It was all over
employees generally realized how easy
It was to save. They Just got the
habit, and the Christmas club Idea was
almost doubled In a year's time, 1920
to 1921, in membership."
This year there were 5,000,000 de-
positors and deposits of $190,000,0001
