"ATMOSPHERE."

There is school of philosophy that teaches that
"atmospherethe influence of association and environ
ment-is the potent element in shaping a mans
life
Stop and think what the word atmosphere means
in this sense.
1t is condition of thought. Thought makes it all
that it is, and thought alone change it.
If other people have the power to make an atmos
phere that influence and control why can't
do it for yourself?
You We all have the power But few fully
realize it Many exercise it unconsciousiy.
You can, if you will, make atmosphere for your
self that will force others feel it, and through 1t

self and those around you.
In doing this your environment and circumstances

After many little conferences and

'MANCHUS' MUST SPEND
PART OF THEIR LEAVE
TIME ON BRlNf DEEP

Another poke in the eye for the
naughty Manchu. Now even his
leave is curtaiIed, and officers in Ha-

about 40 per cent of their short leave
knocked off, on account of war de-

According to the new ruling.
"Manchu' officers who take leave must
date their time from the moment they
leave their troop, battery or company,
until the time that they return to
their command. Heretofore it has
been the custom to count the time
spent in the journey to and from the
mainland as detached service, so that
an officer on, say, two months leave,
would get a full two MONTHS or even
more on terra ffrma If he reported
at Western Department headquarters
at San Francisco at the expiration of
his leave he was placed on detached
service there until the sailing date of
his transport. .:......
Now all this is changed, and the un-
lucky "Manchu" must spend ar least
two weeks of his leave on the briny.
