science will attract and not repel.
This book is different in its suggestions, in its prescriptions, in its
language, but it is universal with all scientific books, in that its aim is
helpful truth.
We go by different routes, but our objective point is the same.
We will avoid technical names and symbols and speak the common
language that the multitude understands.
We shall deal with problems and aspirations that come to us all in this
busy workaday world.
We shall try to cut the underbrush in the swamp and blaze a plain trail
out on to the big high road.
We shall keep in step to the drum-beats of truth, we will rest and
recreate in cool shady places, and then up and on to our purpose with
smiles on our faces, courage in our hearts, and song on our lips.
Every moment of our journey shall be worth while and positively
helpful if we take the trip with conscientious applications, and
continuity of purpose.

Our path is strewn with roses and thorns; we must enjoy the roses and
escape the thorns.
We welcome you, the neophyte, who has joined us in our pilgrimage.

PERSONAL
Are YOU Pleasant to Live With?

some sand in your gear box. It won't hurt you to keep the personal
question alive for a few days,--"Am I pleasant to live with?"
I love the pleasant people whether they are fat, lean, tall, short, red
heads, brown heads, homely, handsome, republicans or democrats.
The complaining, unpleasant grouch is like a bear with a toothache,
miserable himself and spreading misery all around.
A freckle-faced, red-headed, cross-eyed man with a healthy funny bone
will spread more cheerfulness and sunshine than a bench full of sad and
solemn justices of the supreme court, or a religious conference.
What a different story would be written of Job, if he had only possessed
a servant who could dance a double shuffle and whistle "Dixie" while
cooking breakfast.
David was a man after my own heart; he brought gladsome songs into
the world. He, said "Live the ways of pleasantness."

You can pray, sing, play, work, think, rest, hope, you can be well or ill,
rich or poor and still be pleasant to live with.
Being pleasant helps you to be strong in body and mind, and it keeps
you young a long time. It's good medicine, I know it. My little motto,
"Be pleasant every morning until ten o'clock, the rest of the day will
take care of itself," has brought sunshine into many homes.
If you frown it will soon get to be a habit--and give you a heavy heart.
If you smile your face will be attractive, no matter how unlucky you
were in the lottery of beauty.
Be pleasant and you will never feel old.
Every girl wants to catch a husband. Remember this, girls: A pleasant
disposition is more benefit than seven barrels of beauty cream.
The pleasant disposition is a sure route to happy land and happy homes.

fountain.

Our land is thrice blessed with its peaceful, happy homes--for "happy
homes are the strength of a nation."
Be pleasant in your home, make the children feel home is the

hours with the children be loving, laughing, living hours.
Pat them on the head, joke with them, whisper affection, express love
to them. Those acts will be remembered in all their years to come, for
you are planting everlasting plants that may pass onto a hundred
generations and make children happy a thousand years from now.

Be pleasant to live with and the people will turn to you as you pass and
shine your cheerfulness like the sunflowers turn to face the sun.
Be pleasant to live with and you will have more pleasant things to live
for, and there will be kindnesses, kisses, beauty, health, peace, fun,
happiness and content coming your way all along the great big road of
life you are traveling.
Be pleasant, don't be cross and
