Include plenty of green and fresh vegetables, so set one day aside as a repair day, and do all those odd jobs indoors and out which have been accumulating. “To get ready for moving day by putting tags on the furniture, marking each tag with the room in the new house where that particular piece of furniture is to go.” In the June American Magazine David Grayson, writing his story “Hempfield.” coniments as follows on what a man must do with his visions and ideals; “No vision and no ideal is worth a copper cent unless it is brought down to earth, patiently harnessed, painfully trained and set iO work. There Is a beautiful analogy ‘that comefe often to my mind. We 'conceive an idea, as a child is conceived in a transport of joy; but after that there are long months of growth in the close dark warmth of the soul, to which every part Os one’s personality must contribute, and then there is the painful hour of travail when at last the idea is given to the world. It is a process that cannot be hurried nor borne without suffering. And the punishment of those who stop with the joy of conception, thinking they can skim the delight of life and avoid its pain, is the samb in the intellectual and spiritual spheres as it is in the physicial —barrenness and finally a terrible sense of failure and of loneliness.
