HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.
Enrolling Acts and Thoughts Must be
the Rule,


EnnobIing Acts and Thoughts Must be
the Rule.
What is the scientific cause of a
handsome face, youthful figure, or
impetus to the body beautiful?
The paramount question to most
women today is, "How can l remain
young and be beautiful This is a
legitimate question and can be answer
ed in a most practical way.
First We must understand the
province of both mind and body. The
former is the positive, the latter the
negative. What is here meant by posi-
tive is that which controls. 1t is diff
ficult to realize that mind can abso.
lutely control, and the only way of
proving that it does is to experiment
for ones self. The part that sees,
feels, understands, ETC., is the positive
part OF us. 1t is the divine, the God
part of us. It would seem at times that
the body controls, so closely are mind
and body interviewer, but this is mis-
take, as we will be made to under
stand as we begin to Exercise the mind
in actually controlling what is termed
matter, or in other words, the body.
In our National Museum there is con-
tanned in a case whaf was once hui
man body. 1t is res lved into it's ul
innate elements. Thkse elements rep
resent five gases and eight solids. The
oxygen weighs nineN-seven pounds;
the hydrogen fifteen pounds; the nit
rogen three pounds and thirteen oun-
ces; the calcium and chlorine each
four ounces.
The solids of the body are first rep
resented by a solid cube of charcoal,
weighing thirt~-two pounds; phospher-
GUS, one pound. twelve ounces; sui
phur, four ounces. After these come
the metallic substances, viz: iron, one.
tenth of an ounce, which appears in
the form of wire; calcium, lime, is a
yellowish metal shown in the form of
square cube, weighing three pounds
and thirteen ounces; then comes lit
tie block of magnesium OF silvery hue,
weighing two ounces; potassium and
sodium, weighing each two ounces.
The foregoing went to make up body
weighing one hundred and fifty-four
pounds. One cannot feel very much
fattered after such a revelation. To
think we women have been setting so
much store by all these gases and min
erals! But we say wi IN much energy
to ourselves, There is a something
that tells me that l am more than all
the gases and minerals ever cOnceiv
ed We do not say This without rea-
son. Somehow or someway that indie
Unable idea comes to us that I'VE are,
and are eternal substance, far remov-
ed from things perishable.'
We are forced to conclude from
reading the above accurate analysis
of the body, that we cannot as intelli-
gent beings identify the conscious T.
with only that which lis of the earth
earthly and hope to attain control.
So we turn to the soul, the mind If
We turn to this part Of us, persistently
and in faith, there comes to our con.
seriousness strange, delightful sense
of power, which lifts us above the linn
itations against which We have so
blindly fought. l say We must turn to
the mind part in faith and persistency,
or else nothing can be accomplished.
II you want to manifest real beauty Of
body and face aspire to be and do that
which is noble. Unsightly wrinkles.
scowls and forbidding frowns are evil
dences Of worry. doubt. fear, fault find.
ing, selfishness. foolish pride and num-
berless little faults that betray lack
Of control The Ethiopian may not De
) able to change his skin, nor the leop.
) ard his spots. but we can change our
appearances by changing our charac
tiers. We can indellibly stamp upon
the features true nobility, and who
says that is not beautiful to look upon
We can leave perfect imprint OF love
: kindness, truth, intelligence and
gracious sweetness that are always
Young and beautiful. Who can ever
, think of these attributes looking Ole
and ugly? The body is in and OF 1t
self canvas upon which thought I'M
ages are drawn. So it behooves US
who would be young and beautiful &c
think and do that which is ennobllng
Beside leaving it's divine imprint on
the face and body. it gives a serenity
of conscience that is to be prizeu
above all earthly possessions.
