THE BEST OF ALL MEDICINES
Wonderful Restorative Force In As
pect of Cheerfulness.


There is great restorative force In
cheerfulness. 1t Is sovereign reme-
dy. The physician who can inspire
expectancy of something better to
come, who can give you confidence in
your power to overcome disease, and
can make you feel that it is a shame
for man made to do a great work in
the world to be ailing, has very little
use for drugs. Sick people do not re
altze how much their faith and conf
dence i'll physician have to do with
their cure. If he is cheerful happy.
hopeful, they feel buoyed up, sustain
ed by his very presence. They feel
the thrill of his splendid vitality, and
gather strength from his courage.
They catch the contagion of his cheer
fulness and reflect his moods and con-
dition. Invalids who have dragged
along in misery for years have been
suddenly, as if by magic, lifted out of
their bondage by the cheer and en-
couragement which have come from
some unexpected good fortune. This
shows us how dependent the body is
upon the mind. how it sympathizes
with it and takes on its colorings,
which are represented in the different
functions.-O. S. Marden in Success

Take a Fresh Start.

AS the horses trot down to the wire
in long, struggling line a race Off
cial bangs bell and the whole field
turns and goes back to try again. A
fresh start is necessary. But it is not
only on the race track that fresh
starts are essential to the achieve
ment of results. There are countless
instances of business firms taking
fresh starts after visitations of mis-
fortune. Individuals without number
daily turn their backs upon discour-
agements of the past and take a fresh
start. The man who fails is he who
is unwilling to do battle over again.
An individual suffers everlasting fail
ure if, when confronted by obstacles,
he refuses to grid up his loins and
take a fresh start. Fresh starts are
the foes of sluggishness and laziness
and the guarantees of brighter sue
cess than could be possible without
them.-Baltimore Herald.

LEADER KNEW NO FALTERINe.
Even After Death John Ziska Inspired
His Adherents

John Ziska, who made war on be-
half of the prosecuted Hussites
against the Emperor Sigismund. was
only once defeated, and forced his
sovereign in the end to treat with
him on terms of equality,
Ziska lost one eye very early in his
career, and the other at the storming
of Prague. Nevertheless, though to-
tally blind, he continued to lead his
adherents from victory to victory. He
died eventually of the plague while
besieging the castle of Craslau.
But even then his usefulness was
not at an end, for his skin was tanned
and made into a drum-head, in ac-
cordance with his last wishes and its
martial music served to inspire the
Hussites with an ardor that eventually
overcame all obstacles.
