In putting away a white silk or

the gown will be preserved.

AN INTERESTING BOOK BY
A DURANGO AUTHORIZES

Mrs. Elsie ID. Davis has just issued.
from The Herald press. most inter,
esting book, entitled: The Positive
and Passive Attitudes of Mind
and Body" Mrs. Davis is the
well known and successful heal
err or disciple of Weltmer-
ism, who has gained many staunch
friends and a strong circle of pa.
tents and patrons during her sojourn
in our city, not only among the people
of Durango, but among those of the
surrounding towns and country. She
was one of the first graduates of the
celebrated Weltmer school of healing,
at Nevada, Mo-, and was afterwards
connected most successfully with the
faculty of that school. and has the
very strongest endorsement and
words of praise from Professor Welt
mer himself
The book starts out with the dedi-
cation: ITO those who are seeking
the harmony of their own being"
Under the various headings Mrs. Da-
Wis skilfully reviews each subject
taken up. and there are many gems
of thought expressed which will we'll
repay the careful study of all who
are interested in the mysteries of life
and happiness in this world-as all
should be.
The different chapters treated are:
Mind The Positive Attitude
The Passive Attitude" Belief"
Practice VS.. Theory" Personal Mag
netism," Hope" "Clairvoyance."
Relation of the Soul of Man to the
Infinite Spirit of Life" Happiness"
Love" "Hypnotism,' and "Har-
mony"
Several chapters of the book, par
ticularly those under the headings,
Happiness Love" and "Hypno-
tism," are each of them well worth
the price of the work, and worthy of
a careful perusal. Mrs. Davis is evil
IDENTIFY a close student, a deep think
err, and thoroughly in earnest in the
prosecution of her chosen calling
Following are few notable extracts
from Mrs. Davis work:
The mind is the instrument the
soul uses in controlling our bodies"
The unconscious mind is the store
house of all of our past thoughts"
All of inspiration, the beauties OF
poetry, music and art. first have their
origin in our unconscious minds"
For man to assume the positive
attitude is absolutely necessary in
any of the walks of life, for without
this attitude he does not make known
his own will power
I'VE should regard each failure as
the experience that will help us to
overcome other obstacles in the fu-
ture."
You today are the outward and ply
steal expression of what you believed
yesterday"
NO man ever believed he could do
anything and tried, but what he ac-
his object"
What | believe does not control
you, but what you believe does. So
then be careful what you believe"
Many of the lives that are wrecks
today are the effects of idleness."

deners name, and he stickled for it all,
as l learned one day when l CHANGED to
call him Pat.
Patrick, if you please, sir" said he,
with the quiet dignity of a bishop.
There was something in the mans
serene Grmness which marked him as
a strong character and commanded my
respect, though it did not endear him to
me. He did his work with the utmost
faithfulness, was silent almost to
mysterious degree, had no cronies to
consume his time, drank no strong liq-
yet l could not like him. Ny brother
in-law sought to convince me that it
was Patrick's physical deformities
which offended me, for he was short,
knotty person with a malformed back
which resulted in lower limbs so dis
torted that he 'toed OUT almost at
right angles to the direction in which
he walked, or hobbled rather His face
was an insolvable puzzle. Every de-
tail of it, judged by itself, was unpre-
possessing yet as whole it was al
most beatific. 1t seemed fairly to
shout, Here amid all this ugliness is
conscience utterly free from sin"
And | think it was this seeming incon-
gruity-this apparently impossible yet
obviously present innocence-together
with his serene, almost patronizing, air
of soul superiority, which l resented in
our gardener.
In the fall, when the grapevines had
been covered for the winter, we let
Patrick go and saw no more of him un.
til the following st. Patrick's day.
AS we sat waiting for the procession
we saw lone horseman whom we
took to be some officer of the day take
a stand beside the roadway half
block above us. He wore a great cloak
which covered his body and fell all
most to hiS stirrups. On his head was
queer looking cap, shaped somewhat
in the semblance of a bishops inter.
When the procession came along, this
horseman raised his arms as if he were
pronouncing a benediction upon the
marchers and turned his face reverent-
ly upward, The physical task of keep
ing his arms aloft, bearing upon them
the weight of the great cloak, must
have been prodigious, yet so he sat.

The Wastes of the Body.

Every seven days the blood, muscles
and bones of man of average size loses
two pounds of wornout tissue. This
waste cannot be replenished and the
health and strength kept without perfect
digestion. When the stomach and diges-
tive organs fail to perform their functions,
the strength lets down, health gives way,
and disease sets up. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure enables the stomach and digestive
organs to digest and assimilate all of the
wholesome food that may be eaten into
the kind of blood that rebuilds the tissues
and protects the health and strength of
the mind and body. Kodol cures Indi-
gestion, Dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles. 1t is an ideal spring tonic.

Mr.. Wilson said he did not feel
able to criticise the essay. 1t sug-
gests the idea that we are better off
than we may have realized. Shows
MS we have other incentives in life
than the mere accumulation of dol
lars and cents and tends to lift our
minds above the sordid.
Mr.. Grove expressed his pleasure
in listening to the essay and
thought any one could profit by the
idea contained therein.
Mr.. Cameron said the essay and
the hosts surroundings cores
ponded, as both showed bright,
optimistic spirit.
The visitors when called upon to
give their views on the paper
expressed unqualified approval.
DR.. Mcdonnell, of the Md. Agri-
cultural College, was called upon
for talk on any subject connected
with the farm and responded with
extended remarks on the ANALYSIS
OF feeds to ascertain their values.
He also answered numerous ques-
tions about the relative values of
the different properties of CONNER
cial fertilizers.
Mr.. Grove stated he had a piece
of stalk groundwhich he could not
prepare in time for oats on account
of it being too wet and asked if it
would do for millet or hungarian.
He was told it would, provided it
dried out in time. The suggestion
was made that he SOW Japanese

Mr.. Kirk said he had his orchard
manured and plowed and asked
what was the best grass seed to sow
for quick sod. The replies
varied, some suggesting orchard
grass, others alfalfa, clover and

or buckwheat and grass.
