into an atmosphere of failure and re-

lnsurmountable difficulties in his way,
ana whose every step is on the road to
daiaure-hoW n would it take him to
arflve at the success goal? Would any
one believe him or expect him to win?
The majority OF failures began to de-
terlorate by doubling or depreciating
themselves. or by losing confidence in
their w ability. The moment YOU
narpor y and begin to lose faith
in yourself, you can capitulate to the
enemy. Every time you acknowledges
weakness, ineficiency, or lack of abil-
NY, you weaken your self confidence,
n that is TO undermine the very
oundation of all achievement.
SO long as you carry around a failure
atmosphere and radiate doubt and dis
enlargement you will be a failure.
Turn about face, cut off all the cur
rents of failure thoughts, of discour-
aged thoughts. Boldly face your goal
Win a stout heart and a determined

VIII change for you; but you must see

The invariable blackneSs of the pupil
Of the eye WAS a puzzle to scientific

it to be the necessary effect Of refrae-
ton. Sufficient rays are reelected from
the bottom of the eye to render visible
the parts there situated. but since these
reflected rays in emerging from the
eve must traverse the same ocula
media through which they passed IN
entering the eye it is evident that they
must undergo the same refraction
which they underwent as entering rays.
only in an opposite direction. The re
suit of this is that the paths of the
