SIVntly she looked at his dim Jlgure In

"I'll go too," said she quite simply.
You'd better stay. It's safer here."
"No, I'm going."
"But If we run Into dangers?'
"Never mind. Take me with you."
Over to her he came. He took her hand.

get rid of the Monday grouch Is the theme
of State Health Commissioner Dixon'
weekly "little talk on health and hygteitei"
Ills tip Is to maks Sunday a day of rest,
neither nverexerclslng, or overeating and
underexerclslng, He says:
"Is II n, habit of yours to get out of bed
on tho wrong foot on Monday morning?
Do you start for the office with n frown
on your face nnd a look In your eye that
sets the office boy hunting for an errand
utttslda nnd starts the whole force with
a grouch that lasts for the better part of
the da)?
"Salesmen who make use of psychology
In their business are very apt to postpone
their .Monday calls until after lunch, lir
that time the atmosphere has cleared a
little. "
"When ou come to think of It the week
work too often slips off tho ways with con
siderable friction. In office, school an
household, If thin la nOt tho rulo It Is at
sutlklenlly frequent occurrence to make the
picture famlllnr tu nit.
"With many people It Is not because their
dally taska are distasteful, or that their
real ntlltudo toward their associates Is ag
gressive. It Is more n matter of rattier III
lom'rlvcd Ideas of what constitutes rest or
diversion
"It Isn't possible In n fow words to de
scribe tho Snturday-untlt-Monday habits of
every one. Tho majority of people, how
ever, aru very upt to fall Into two general
divisions. Ono class tries to crowd too
much Into tho time between one wcok's end
and the begtnnlng or the next week's la
bor, nnd tnke up their business on Monday
morning exhausted and overtired Instead of
refreshed by tho 'day of rest. Tho other
class goes to extremes by overeating and
underexerclslng, and the result Is equally

"Thy to Btrlke a happy medium, Re

Invariably begets Its tike Is well nigh Im
