STAYING YOUTHFUL.
Give Your Mind New Thoughts-StoP
Worrying.

WOEIyiuSs
Whatever your age may be, begin
now to think of yourself as in the
dawn of new developments. Say to
yourself many times a day that you
possess more vital power, more mental
force, more magnetism and charm than
ever before in your life.
Say also that you are better loved
and more fully appreciated for all your
virtues and charms than ever before
and that your ability to give and re-
ceiye happiness is unlimited.
Then use moments which you have
been accustomed to idle away or to
employ in melancholy thoughts in i'm
proving yourself. Let this improve
ment be threefold until body and mind
and spirit all radiate new brilliancy.
Give your mind new thoughts. Give
your spirit new aspirations and feed
your brain with some new purpose.
Keep up whatever accomplishments
you possess. Cultivate new ones. Be
gin at forty, fifty or sixty even to
study languages and music and art.
And instead of continually thinking
about advancing age think about in
creasing qualities and charms. IN
stead of worrying over added years
rejoice over added occupations and
means OF enjoyment. Encourage the
young to seek your society. Amuse
and interest them, and this can be dor
only by keeping in sympathy wit
their ideas.
If you find your thoughts running
along the line of criticism and dlspar-
aging comparisons of the young peo-
pie of the day with those of your own
morning time keep your ideas to your
self.
