THE CURSE OF UNREST.
By L. A. Miller.
Are you satisfied with yourself?
If you are, you are an exception.
Possibly it was not intended that we
should be; it being the intention to use
this dissatisfaction to stimulate men
to make efforts to rise above the
sphere in which they are born.
Is there such a thing as entire sat-
isfaction? Doubtful. There may be
contentment, and there ought to be;
but it is questionable whether any one
ought to be satisfied witl: him or her-
self. Even the sluggard or dolt is not
satisfied, yet he may be contented
with his miserable lot. He may con-
ceive the idea that he has done his
part, and if he does not turn out all
right he is content to bear the incon-
venience.
Unrest is very different from dis-
content and dissatisfaction, but as
troublesome and disagreeable as eith-
er. It partakes more or less of the
nature of each, but is easily distin-
guished from them.
Physical unrest, such as is charac-
terized by sleeplessness, or a desire to
do something, you know not what, or
even a clinging sense of languor, is
bad enough. Those who are troubled
with nervousness, neuralgia and shift-
ing pains know what physical unrest
is, and they will all agree that it is a
terrible thing.
Mental unrest is as much keener as
the mental organization is finer and
more sensitive than the physical. Mil-
ton says: “The mind is its own place,
and in itself can make a heaven of
hell, a hell of heaven.” That is about
the size of it. Mental unrest, while
not painful, is more disagreeable than
physical unrest. The dark, spreading
wings of melancholy cast their shad-
ows athwart the mental horizon, shut-
ting out the cheerful rays of hope,
cutting off the atmosphere of content-
ment and filling the soul with a feel-
ing of distrust. To all this may be
added the reflex, or sympathetic ef-
fects on the physical system, such as
loss of appetite, stupor, irritability,
want of strength, inability to work,
and painful sensations.
If the mind is at ease the whole man
may be comfortable, but if not, there
is no rest for him. It is possible for
the mind to rest when the body is far
from being comfortable. This is
shown in such cases as that of Alex
H. Stephens. There was scarcely a
comfortable muscle or organ in his
whole body, yet he enjoyed mental
rest above that of many of his com-
peers.
Charles Sumner, with all of his
greatness, his towering intellect and
his high position among the sons of
men, suffered continually from men-
tal unrest. While Stephens was en-
joying refreshing intercourse with his
friends, or sleeping as quietly as a
tired boy, Sumner paced the floor ef
his lonely room, unable to stop the
trains of thought thundering through
his prodigious brain.” = 7 © :
Unrest affects all classes. Those
possessed of sensitive minds feel it
more than those who are dull, while
the finely formed and well-developed
usually suffer more from physical un-
rest than the more ungainly.
You have only to recall your friends
and acquaintances who complain most
of pain and distress, have the most
trouble and are least satisfied with
life, to discover that they are physic-
ally and intellectually the superiors,
especially as to quality, of those who
are enjoying life in all its phases and
are rarely beset with its disappoint-
ments. These, however, are phases of
unrest due to definite causes, and
probably to physical causes. But there
is an unrest which seems to have been
born in some, if not in all. It is that
unrest which results from being dis-
satisfied with one’s self.
No matter where you find some
types of mind they are sour and dis-
contented. They may have fabulous
wealth at their command and the
world of pleasure at their feet, yet
their skies are clouded, their pillows
uncomfortable and their pathway nar-
TOW.
The trouble with such as these is |
that they are not disposed to make the
best of their opportunities. They
want to be something they are not,
and that without going through the
channels. Those who feel that they
were born to be artists are not willing
to spend months and years sketching
and daubing. They know it is impos-
sible to gain proficiency and fame in
any other way, but rather than buckle
down to the work they do nothing but
growl, rail at fortune and jaw back
at fate.
This may generally be taken as con-
clusive evidence that they would be
just as unhappy anywhere else as
where they are. Talk with the clerk
and he will say that his sphere is man-
aging a ranch; the owner of the lit-
tle grocery was, in his mind, intended
for a lawyer; the book-keeper is sure
that he only lacks opportunity to be-
come a financial magnate; the sewing
girl sees in her face and figure the
lineaments and graces of the society
belle; the bus-conductor has a scheme
that only requires time and money to
put him at the head of a great manu-
facturing concern; the horny-handed
knows that he ought to have been a
spiritual builder of churches, and the
chap who delights to tell more than he
knows feels slighted because he is
not taken by the collar and waistband
and chucked into an editorial chair.
Tell me why, good heaven,
Thou mad’st me what I am, with all the
spirit,
Aspiring thoughts and elegant desires,
That fill the hapiest man? Ah, rather,
why
Did’st thou not form me sordid at ny
fate,
Base-minded, dull and fit to carry bur-
dens?
Why have I sense to know the curse
that’s on me?
Is just dealing, Nature?
—Otway.
There is entirely too much unrest
prevailing in our great country. The
logical and philosophic way -to over-
come that, is to look at the bright side
of every thing.
MILITARY TRAINING CAMPS AS-
SOCIATION.
Parents who expect to send their
sons to Camp Meade for the month’s
training from June 26th to July 25th
can be assured that their boys will be
well looked after.
Brigadier General H. B. Fiske, U.
S. A., who has charge of the summer
training camps, was with the first
American troops to land in France.
He was on General Pershing’s staff,
in charge of training and instruction
in the A. E. F. Last summer Briga-
dier General Fiske visited all the
training camps in the U. S. A. and had
the opportunity to observe the meth-
ods carried on in each.
Colonel Helms, who will be the ex-
ecutive officer at Camp Meade this
summer and who will have direct
charge and supervision over the camp
activities brings to this job an exper-
ience of 30 years’ service. For the
past three years he has held the posi-
tion of executive officer in the train-
ing camps.
Lieutenant Colonel Wills, 34th In-
fantry, will be the Adjutant at Camp
Meade and will have charge of all ad-
ministrative and personnel functions
during the camp. Colonel Wills has
had more than twenty-four years’
service and was in the Philippine and
Mexican campaigns and overseas with
the 76th Division as divisional ma-
chine gun officer.
Recreation at Camp Meade will be
cared for equally as well by Miss Ma-
ry E. Hutchin, who has been delegated
by the War Department to act as su-
pervising hostess at Camp Meade dur-
ing the coming summer. Miss Huich-
in is now chief army hostess of the
3rd Corps Area. She is well acquaint-
ed with the conditions to be met at
Camp Meade, having spent two years
at that post as camp hostess.
Four Aides have been assigned to
Miss Hutchin to help conduct the work
at Camp Meade. She is arranging a
program of weekly dances for the C.
M. T. C. boys, also boat trips down
the Chesapeake and other excursions.
Special arrangements have been
made for the entertainment of par-
ents, sisters and friends of the C. M.
T. C. boys. Accommodations are be-
ing prepared for mothers, who may
wish to stay over night.
As the hot weather approaches it
looks as if the full quota of 3200
young men was going to be realized.
Many young men who for the past
month have been considering this
matter, have decided the question in
the right wey and have applied for
admission.
Twelve counties in the State have
already over-subscribed the quota
allotted to them and both parents
and boys are beginning to see that an
opportunity of this sort, with no
strings attached to it and all expens-
es paid is a proposition well worth
taking advantage of.
The young men who take this train-
ing for one month will have the op-
portunity of seeing Annapolis and the
capital of the United States. They
will be in the midst of a lovely farm-
ing country half way between Wash-
ington and Baltimore. They will be
with a lot of other young men their
own age, from Virginia, Maryland,
District of Columbia and Pennsylva-
nia, and under the best Regular Army
officers and non-commissioned officers
that our government can provide.
Applications will be accepted from
young men who will attain the age of
seventeen before December 31st, 1923.
All information on these camps can
be obtained at 310 Bellevue Court
Building, Philadelphia, Pa.

A political speaker warning the
public against the imposition of
heavier tariffs on imports said: “If
you don’t stop shearing the wool off

you'll pump it dry.”
HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Is Your Blood Good
or Thin and Watery?
You can tell by the way you feel.
You need Hood’s Sarsaparilla to
make your blood rich, red and pure,
tingling with health for every organ.
You need it if weak and tired day
in and day out, if your appetite is
poor, sleep unrefreshing,—for hu-
mors, boils, eruptions, scrofula, rheu-
matism, headaches, nervous prostra-
tion. It is simply wonderful to give
strength to your whole body.
It is agreeable, pleasant and con-
venient to take, and embodies a long-
tried and found-true formula. 67-34

FORD OPENS HOSPITAL TO DIS-
ABLED SERVICE MEN.
Disabled world war veterans of
Michigan have welcomed the offer re-
cently made by the Henry Ford hos-
pital and already more than fifty are
undergoing treatment at the big in-
stitution.
All of the veterans are admitted in
the same manner as private patients
and are treated on exactly the same
basis. They are entitled to and re-
ceive the same quality of service and
are distributed in the various units of
the hospital according to the availa-
bility of rooms.
The first thought was to open a spe-
cial unit for these men, but the hos-
pital officials on consideration felt the
men would be better satisfied if they
were distributed throughout the hos-
pital with the other patients and ac-
cordingly this plan was carried out.
Arrangements for opening the hos-
pital services free of any charge to
all disabled veterans of Michigan
needing treatment were made a few
weks ago at a meeting between Alvin

The arrangements for the care of
the disabled veterans continue in ef-
fect until December 31st, 1923. If at
that time Congress has not passed
necessary legislation to afford hospi-
talization of ex-service men the mat-
ter will come up for further discus-
sion and the agreement renewed for
another definite period.
The ex-service men are admitted
following recommendation by the
Welfare office of the American Legion
in Detroit.
Another arrangement also has been
effected between the Legion and the
Henry Ford hospital whereby in ex-
treme cases the destitute families of
former service men, their children
needing hospitalization will be treat-
of when designated by the Legion
office.

“Anticipating the greatest volume of freight traffic

a concerted policy and intensive working program to
enable them to meet the growing transportation needs
of the country.
“In full realization of necessity for the greatest
possible of the country’s
transportation facilities to meet the growing demands
of commerce, the railroads have authorized, since Jan-
uary 1, 1922, for cars, locomotives, trackage and other
facilities, the expenditure of $1,540,000,000, of which
$440,000,000 actually was expended during 1922.

of additional capital largely through borrowed money
