his new duties as district attorney with

HOW MIND SHAPES THE BODY
Character Of Thought Makes Mankind
Either Ugly or Pleasing In
Appearance.

A very general rule with but few ex-
ceptions can be laid down as follows.
writes Ralph Waldo Trine in the Won.
ans Home Companion. The body ordi-
narlly looks as ole a the mind thinks
and feels, Shakespeare anticipated by
many years the best psychology of the
times when he said: 1T is the mind
that makes tho body rich" An eminent
modern writer has given utterance to
the same truth more fully and more
helpfully. perhaps, IN the following.
"The prevailing state of mind or char
acter Of thought atapes the body and
features, It makes us ugly or pleas
ing, attractive or repulsive to others.
Our thought shapes our gestures, our
mannerism, our walk. The least move
ment OF muscles has mood OF mind,
q thought, behind 1t. A mind always
determined has always q determined
walk. A mind always weak, shifting.
vacillating, and uncertain, makes q
shnffling, shambling. uncertain gait.
The spirit Of determination braces
every muscle. II is the thought ele-
ment of determination filling every
muscle. II you send from you
In thought the elements Of worry. fret.
hatred or grief, you are putting In ac-
tion forces injurious to your mind and
body. Look at the discomfort.

people are never In good health. for
that force acts on them as poison.
