Take the matter of ele«jxictiy, if ^
you pj^iase. We know it is a wonder-
ful ^ming. We run it into our house i

or the oil. lamp. We get ft to work i
for us in many ways, in making the
telephone our errand boy and- In
bringing us the news from ‘ around
the world, and we even cook with it.
But as good a thing as this is, we
can take on too much of it. For in-
stance, a fellow' who can just about
afford an electric iron may buy an

Of electric nightmares.
And so’it goes all down the line. In-
stead of making these wonderful
modern inventions our servants they
are in many instances our masters.
: But we will get -over this some of
these da£s, and then these good,
things wilt be our good things.; '
Besides it isn't fair to blame our
frailties on others. If we buy more
fine linen than we can keep, washed
and laundered it is not the fault of
the looms.

:Nor does any of us know when his
ancestors first began setting traps
