CONCERNING THE MEMORY.

Lord Beaconsf1eld's recipe for a good memory was simply-never take a note. pr. Jowett used to say: "A man should make a compact with his memory not to remember everything" Great memories like that of Sir Will liam Hamilton are apt to disable Judgment. Sheer memory fiourishes best where note making is impossible. Dudley Kidd tells how he saw a coun- cil of Kaffir chiefs discussing a legal case. precedent of sixty or seventy years old came up and the old men, who had been children at that time reconstructed it to the minutest detail oven to the exact color of the various cattle concerned, with perfectly unan- unity.

The State Supreme Court has
rendered another decision re-
parding the powers and privileges
Of. the State Board of Health.
This decision shows that the state
Board of Health is vested with
Supreme power regarding all mat
ters pertaining to the health OF
the State. its authority being
above and superior to that OF any
local health board. In accord
with this decision the State Board
of Health has issued circular
letter calling the attention Of the
health officers. of each community
in the State to the fact That IT pro-
oses to enforce all saniary legisla-
ton. Thus there il no escape for
any one who is guilty of doing
anything that may tie detrimental
to the public health. If the cit
izens of locality neglect their
duty the local health officer has the
power to enforce compliance with
existing laws and should he be
derelict in the performance of his
duty the State Board of Health Is
likely to call him to account.
In view of the foregoing W.
say that the best thing you ear
do is swat the fy' as a starter
and then prepare to stop splttin!

GREAT VALUE OF C0NFJ-
DENCE.

\ man $ achievement can ney-

Every time lou ackuoWpdgp weak
ness. deficiency or lack Of ability
or Of opportunity, or harbor

tidence. aud that is to weaken the
very foundation. the very respon-
sibilltv Of achievement You
might as well expect TO gel over

irg the undertakings too great for
YOU that YOU can never accomp-
lish it. that you are afraid Of the
avaanches and Of getting lost, rs
to hope to attain success IN life
while holding to doubts and fears
Of your ability TO do what yo,i
undertake. 70 allow Yourself to
admit that YOU are inferior to amy
emergency confronting yor is to
invite defeat. The moment Won
harbor doubt Of vour ability, that
moment you capitulate.
The positive man may have
some unpleasant qualities. but he
is the man wanted everYwhert.
lie who is fearless, with conviction
born Of the confidence Of strength,
is the one TO achieve in every line
Of endeavor. The world stands
aside for the man who has fixed
purpose. a mission. a calling to do
that which he feels throbbing
eompulsion within him to do.
One Of the best ways to
strengthen character and develop
stamina generally is to assume
the part you wish to play, to
stoutlv assert the possession OF
what YOU desire to have. to in
sistently affirm that you are what
you wish to be. No man achitves
anything worthy until he learns
the power Of confidence feels
that he can accomplish if he will
be strong enough and long
