The Positive Life.

Or. L. II. Gulick, writing about the
best way to keep in health in the
Worlds Work, says: The real heart
of the problem is psychological. We
are just beginning to understand the
part that good thinking holds in good
health. Our thoughts are just as real
a part of us are our bodies. A man
who persists in thinking unhealthy
thoughts can no more keep sound and
healthy in body than a man who vio-
lates all the physical laws Of his ma
ture. A mans mental attitude is
that the number of deaths in an army
defeated and on the retreat is enor-
mously greater than in an army upon
victorious march The mental atti-
tude of defeat. of encouragement, low
ers the resisting power of the inji-
vidual. 1t predisposes' him to disease.
The whole tone of his system is let
down. The aggressive, the positive,
the confident state of mind is the one
that wins out over obstacles. The
the time. dreading danger. fighting
against bad influences. avoiding dis
ease. not only wastes an enormous
amount OF energy, but also lessons his
own chances. 1t is not the defensive
but the aggressive attitude that pro-
tects man. The normal way, the
efficient way, is to turn ones thoughts
to something worth while. to fill the
mind with healthy thoughts. This is
sound psychology. You can't drag
thing out of the mind; but it will go
OF itself if you put something else in
fits place. A determined pursuit of
good thoughts. of healthy thoughts, is
the only means of getting rid of the
other kind"

No One wanted Box is.

In no other western European coun-
try is superstition so prevalent as in
Austria-Hungary Quite recently the
charberlain's Office changed the num-
Der of box 10 IN the Imperial opera
house and the Imperial Court theater
to Ia, because the prblic objected to
sitting in a box bearing this unlucl1y
number. None of the rich subscribers
who takes a box for the year wanted
No. IS, and for single performances it
was just as hard to dispose of.
This superstition reaches its height
in medicine. Speaking at the health
exhibition, DR.. Heinrich Grun declared
that in many instances superstition,
and especially local superstition. was
an absolute menace to public health.
In the Austrian hospitals one finds
no block or pavilion 13, no ward 13,
no staircase 10. Very few patients
will consent to be operated upon on
the thirteenth day of the month. and
in this respect Friday, too, is consid-
cred just as unlucky. At Carlsbad,
Marienbad, Gastein and other famous
Austrian cure resorts nobody wants
to begin his cure on Friday.

ROCKEFELLER IS SERENE.
tiOns of Standard Oil Disturbs
the Head o. the Corporation.

Cleveland, Ohio. - Neither the pro-
cecdings of the government nor of the
state authorities against the Standard
Oil company are worrying John D
Rockefeller in the slightest He is
not giving them the least thought OF
attention. This was the emphatic
statement Sunday by DR.. H. F. Big
gar, physician to and travelling COM
panion of Mr.. Rockefeller.
DR.. Biggar left Mr.. Rockefeller in
New York Saturday after a six weeks
sojcNrn with Mr.. and Mrs. Rockefeller
and party in Northern France. He
reached Cleveland Sunday. When he
left New York the immediate plans
of the RoCkefellers had not been
settled
Mr.. Rockefeller and wife will be
at Forest Hill this week, l am GER
TAIN said DR.. Biggar. They may
come Monday and it may be Wednes-
day.
IF it has been reported that Mr..
Rockefeller is disturbed over proceed
ings against the Standard Oil company
and the bringing in of his name in
CuIS COuuSCCOH quite l1S contrary Is
true.
'Mr. Rockefeller has been having a
few weeks recreation and rest. He
has not been thinking about Standard
Oil company affairs. And why should
he, since he has not been actively
connected with the business of the
company for twelve years? ?"
Asked if Mr.. Rockefeller believed
that because he had been out of the
active life of the great corporation
for years this fact would render him
immune from any possible legal at
tack, DR.. Biggar replied:
THAT is a matter [ know nothing
about. Mr.. Rockefeller has never
talked on the subject so far as

worth from $4,000, 600 to S21 600, 900
in the decision handed down Friday
by Judge K. NJ. Lands. of the United
States circuit court, in the Zion City
case. Instead, Judge Lands declared
Zion City a trust estate, named John
c. Hately, member of the Chicago
board of trade, a receiver of the prop
ert and ordered the holding of an cleo
ton September Is when the people
of the Christian Apostolic church in
Zion City shall choose their overseer.
Judge Lands will decide later what
compensation Will be allowed for his
past services
The nub of the courts decision is in
the ruling that contributions of pro-
perty and money given Dowie was in
trust
Judge Lands declared the convey
ance of the Zion City property by Vo-
Iva under power of attorney to John
Alexander Granger to be void. Judge
Lands quoted from writings of Dowie
to show that the latter had always
regarded the property of bis church
as trust. The adjudication in the
bankruptcy proceedings was also set
aside, SO that pending litigation
against Dowie may automatically be
restrained until the entire litigation
is ended. Receiver Hate1y's bond Of
$4,000 was approved late in the af-
ternoon by the court and he went i'm
mediately to Zion City and assumed
charge of the property.
The court holds that Zion City and
its industries do not belong to Dowie,
that, While the contributors of the
funds did not express a formal de-
claration of trust, trustwas created
and Dowie had no right to treat the
property his own.

Dynamite U.ed a. a Plow.

A report has reached the Office of the
state board of agriculture of an inter
eStfng experiment in agriculture which
has been tried in Barber county NJ
T. Williams, resident of that county
has made investigations which lead
him to believe that there is sub
stratum of earth below the surface of
the ground few feet that is too hard
for the roots of plants to penetrate.
He believes that it is the density of the
substratum which causes the alfalfa to
die after it has grown a few years
The alfalfa roots grow to the hard
stratum of earth and the plant begins
to die. After experimenting for some
time and becoming convinced that his
theory was right, Mr. Williams decided
to loosen the sub-stratum so that alfal-
IA roots would penetrate He purchased
large quantity Of dynamite and has
loosened the earth over a field of 40
acres. The sticks of dynamite are put
into holes deep enough SO that the
conclusion affects the sub-stratum
The field was then plowed and will be
planted to alfalfa. Farmers in that
pa of the state are taking a great
deal of interest in the experiment, and
II 1t proves successful there will be a
demand for dynamite in the counties
where alfalfa growing has been a
failure because of the hard sub-strat-
