ALL DUE TO THOUGHT
Health or Sickness of Body Re-
Election of the Mind.
Men of the Future, Orison SWEET Mar
den Asserts, VIII Be Free From
Many Weaknesses Inherent
In Present Race.

The coming man will radiate health
and gladness as naturally as the rose
exhales beauty and fragrance. He will
radiate life and vigor as naturally as
he breathes. Because he will think
only healthful thoughts he cannot pos
sibly radiate anything unhealthful.
We reflect only the results of our
thinking
Few people realize how largely their
health depends upon the saneness of
their thinking You cannot hold ILL
health thoughts, disease thoughts in
the mind without having them outpic-
tured in the body. The thought will
appear in the body somewhere and
it's quality will determine the results
sound or unsound, healthful or un-
healthful. AS it is impossible for a
person to remain absolutely pure who
habitually holds pictures of impurity
in the imagination, so it is just as I'M
possible to be healthy while holding
the disease thought. There cannot De
harmony in the body with disease In
the mind.
The belief in weakness, in feeble
ness, the conviction of physical 1naDll-
ity always precedes the actual condl-
ton; the weakness. the deficiency ap-
pears in the thought before it is man
ifested in the body.
AS long as you think you are
weakling, you will be one. II you
think deadly negative thoughts, they
will produce corresponding pictures in
the body.
Not only do our own thoughts and
convictions tend to bring about CORE
spending ones in the body, but the
thoughts and convictions of others as
to our condition have similar effect.
Continue to tell q man that he looks
haggard and worn and sickly, and that
he must do something for himself;
keep constantly asking him what is
the matter with him and you will very
soon produce a mental picture OF bod
ily illness which will be reflected In
his body.
Sound health is based upon SOUND

health must necessarily correspond.
If cur thought is not solid, our health
will be faulty.
Health is harmony, and we cannot
have perfect health while there is as
cord In the thought. The body is just
a reflection of the mind. 1t will be
weak or vigorous according to the
thought.
The future physician will be train
ed psychologist, real educator OF the
people, showing them how to think
properly; explaining how rlgnt
thought makes right life; that their
bodily conditions are simply re1ec-
lions aad cutpicturings of their men
tai attitudes, present and past, and
how, by changing the thought they
can change the, life.-Orison SWEET

How TO Tao Your Trunk.

A vacation crowd was sitting on the
porch of a hotel and the discussion
turned to the subject of baggage. Sew
eral had told of their annoyance at
having trunks come day or a week
late and how hard it was to get bag
gage through on time.
II don't have any trouble" said a
woman who had been around the
world and then some. II work it this
way: On every piece of baggage

valise this way and I then hunt up

Uncle Sam Spells an Indian Adoption Romance

The acting chief of the Indian Blu
reau says the adoption is not legal
because the Indian bureau will not
confirm it when it comes before them
officially. Therefore, Mr.. Heinl and
his bride will be cut out of their share
Of the Blackfeet allotment of lands
and money which their red-skinned
brothers were anxious they should
have.
The acting chief said:
1--WE will disapprove Of this adop-
ton matter when it is brought to our
notice for verification. The Indians
themselves, l feel sure, must have
looked on it simply as joke. They
were admitted to the tribe by an In
dian ceremony, and not by a legal
one, which requires tribal council
before the superintendent Of the reser-
walton and other officers.
"Only people descended from the
tribe and who have Indian blood in
them are ever admitted to tribe.
The Indians are wards of the nation
and receive certain allotment, there.
fore, any new member of the tribe is
a ward of the nation and would have
an allotment of lands and money. We
will not allow Mr. and Mrs. Heinl to
become members of the tribe, even IL
they waive their rights to apportion-
ments, because it might make serious
complications in the future and lots
of people would desire to join Indian
tribes to become wards of the nation
and benefit therefrom. 1t would be
a dangerous precedent"

Flushing is especially desirable In

have the ewes all lamb at nearly the
same time
With many fockmasters It is con-
sidered desirable to have the ewes
bred as early as possible so as to
have the lambs ready for the early

1t has been found that by flushing
the ewes they may be made to breed
earlier than they would otherwise, and
most of them will lamb in a compar-
atively short period.
It Is we'll known that ewes come in
heat with the coming of cool weather,

fresh flow of blood, infuses into her

The United States consul at Prague
says there are practically no flies in
Bohemia. He attributes the phenome-
non to the fact that everything il
made of brick, stone or concrete, and
the streets are cleaned several times
q day." The reason why the fly is
feared is that his habits are so dirty.
Yet where he is numerous, his num-
oers indicate the presence of dirt. I'm
dc1Dtedly the best way to get rid Of
flies is not to swat" them, but to
clean up.

corn is not down too much they will
not bother the ear.
Where it is intended to make rape
and corn serve this double purpose of
pasturing the ewes and the weaned
lambs it is well to plant lot Of
pumpkins for feed for the lambs later
in the fall They will do their own
gathering and they are the best pos
sible vermifuges.
However well your fall pasture is 1t
Is always well to remember that lit
tie grain will not come amiss, and |
believe it would pay every sheep own
er to feed half pound of oats to hia
sheep every day during the fall and
winter, even though they are on lux
uriant pasture.
There are many other ways of car
ing for the ewes than the ones men,
toned. The only point of great i'm
portance is to give good, green food
and lots of it. What the kind of food
will be, every farmer can best decide
for himself, but this much Is certain:
All extra labor with the eve flock at
mating season will be repaid many
times over at the lambing period.

Jaime, younger son of King Alfonso
Of Spain, is physically and mentally

with an affection of the ears which
has persisted since his birth. WheA

XTASHINGTON.-U Sam, money
w grubber, who seems to have lost
all his sentiment, has spoiled the pref
ty romance of the adoption of Robert
d. Heinl and his bride into the Black
feet tribe of Indians.
Mr.. Heinl, who is a Washington cor
respondent. and his bride, formerly
Miss Helen Corbin, were admitted to
the tribe at picturesque ceremony
in Glacier National Park. Mont, short
ly before their marriage Chief Three
Bears acted for the tribe and bestow-
ed upon the couple the tribal names
Of Black Eagle" and Little Woman"
The redskins made their new pale
face brethren welcome, Mr.. Heinl
having long been in their good graces
through his sympathy and affection
for the vanishing race of Americans,
OF which he has made an exhaustive
study.
The tribe extended hearty welcome
to BLACK Eagle" and his bride, there
fore. but Uncle Sam, through the In
dian Office, now says that he cannot
allow his wards to acquire tribal addi-
tions in this manner.

THE SAVING HABIT.

One of the most difficult and at the
same time most essential of habits to
form is that of saving. OF course,
there are many persons in all walks
of life who, although they are in COM
Portable circumstances, are so penuri-
GUS as to be absolutely opposed to
parting even with their pennies. Their
very lives are controlled by the idea
of getting along with as little as pos
sible even at the risk OF earning for
themselves a reputation for stingi-
ness. Such persons, however, make
up class all to themselves, and gen.
orally deserve the contempt in which
they are held by their fellow-beings.
On the other hand, the spendthrift de-
serves as much, If not more, condem-
nation, perhaps, for the facility with
which he allows his often hard-earned
money to slip through his hands.
There is a golden mean between these
two extremes of character and 1t is
found in the ability of man to save
from his earnings sufficient for the
proverbial rainy day. The advantages
of saving may be demonstrated to us
in many ways and on many occasions,
but it remains for necessity to i'm
press its Importance upon our minds.
1t may be that the manner of living
may account in large measure for the
universal habit of spending all that
we make-the opportunities for doing
so are very great and at the same
time seem very real and imperative,
and it is only after the pocket is emp
ty and we face stern necessity that
we are able to discriminate between
opportunity and temptation.
