THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Putting Up With Things. Utisually we put up with them when we ought to put them down. There is no doubt about that. Comes u nasty patch of life, and we run for shelter. That’s a mistake. We ought to face about and see what the trouble is. It's no use shrugging one’s shoulders and talkiiig; about grinning and bearing it. If you analyse your mind a littje, it’s mope than likely you will find that the grinning aspect of it is something akin to fear of what is troubling you. We are rather inclined to persuade ourselves that we ffi'e awfully fine, philosophical fellows when we decide to put up with something that irks us. In nine cases out of ten. a bold front to it. or to the chap who’s causing all tho trouble, will go a long way to getting rid of the nuisance. We lessen our power a great deal when we decide to put up with something that ought not to be. Granted that the cleaning business is somewhat dirty at times. But all be people who have gone before us. and had done some cleaning up. had to put up with the dirt before they accomplished the cleaning. Let’s fight it out.—L.C.
