To Talk About Disease
Usually Results in
Self Hypnosis.

To sit and listen to the stories
OF terrible surgical operations. or
to relate them. is a popular meth
cd OF indulging IN unproftabls
conversation with many women.
And it is a sure method of In
wiling sickness and maladies
which may lead to similar opera
tions.
Every thought and every word
has its effect upon our physical
structures. In Proverbs Kills, we
read, The tongue OF the wise u
health in the same book, In
the multitude Of words there
wanteth not sin. but he that re-
fraineth his lips IS wise"
And vet again. "A wholesome
tongue is tree of life"
Cultivate Wholesomeness in your
conversation, Invite 1t from 9TH
ers. Talk Of good things; OF hap
by things: OF great things: and
of clean things. There are SO
many interesting topics which
come under this category.
When you are obliged to speak
OF the bad, the sad, the petty and
the unclean things, get it over as
soon as possible and cease to
think OF them afterward. Just az
YOU might be forced to take some
thing nauseating In your mouth.
and as YOU would go and rinse
your mouth with an antiseptc
afterward, so hasten to talk Of
good and sweet things and to make
your afirmations after your un-
pleasant talk has ended. Your
thoughts and your conversation
are building your character and
shaping your future
Do not indulge in Improbable
conversation
And do not be afraid to remain
silent when you have nothing of
interest or value TO say!

Laughter as Necessary
to Us as Flowers Are
to Nature.

Wit. humor, repartee have their
profitable part in life. The man
or book, or play, or recreation
which makes us laugh in pure
glee gives us a tonic for mind
and body
There is no system of calisthen-
les so beneficial to health as the
habit OF hearty, Tib- shaking
laughter.
The laughing cure has been
advocated for all ills of mind and
body. The patient is told to
stand before the mirror and force
laughing for ten minutes at
time
It is declared that this process
will drive away melancholy, cure
depression and put to rout all
nervous maladies arising from
over-sensitiveness and lack of
self confidence; and that hope
courage and ambition will soon
reorganize the disordered realm
of the mind and bring a, happy
train OF helpers In their rear, in
Guiding health and success.
Therefore, any conversation or
occupation of time which causes
us to laugh at least once in the
day is to be commended.
II Is even well to be frivolous
At times; to think and talk OF
light and superficial matters, SUCH
as dress and fashion, and dane
ing and sports. Just as nature
does not give all her energies to
producing nourishment for her
creatures, but takes earth space
10 send forth flowers and plants
which have no practical use save
their beauty, so may our minds
be occupied at times with light
themes
Rnt there are few OF us who DO
not waste precious, precious, mo
ments and still more precious
uind-stuff in what we know, II
we pause to think OF It, is I'M
profitable.
Have you not heard a whole
family OF intelligent beings use
fifteen golden moments in
heated discussion regarding the
precise date on which some I'M
important event occurred?

cause Of the enormous initial price
Of the radium. the cost of treat
ment is beyond the reach of any
one except a millionaire"
Undoubtedly the extraction OF
radlum is a very costly process at
the best. But it is perfectly GER
tain that the cost can be greatly
reduced. It is also certain that
this country is destined to be one
of the greatest producers of ra-

year 1912 it put forth three-quar

killing topic.
in our ever-varying a..d never
duplicated seasons have heard
sensible human beings wax all
most violent. dtsputing whether
last year or the year before was
not warmer or colder than this
year; or whether such unseason-
able weather had ever before been
known; or trying to prove that
the first SHOWS fell earlier or later
some other year than this.
Surely all this is Improbable
conversation.
1t is not instructive, Interesting
or amusing,
1t does not develop the reason
ing powers or give food to the
mind.
And It entertains no one.
Gossip is not only Improbable
but it is a malignant substance,
dangerous to the mind.
II our callers introduce gossip.
like a poison needle, we can
readily change the subject and
refuse the incubation.
And we can go alone after the
caller departs and use a mental
antidote in the way of aff1rma-
lions OF love and good will and
peace to all created things; and
more light for the gossiper.
To read what is painful, vicious
or terrible. unless we are prepared
to go forth and endeavor to re-
leve the conditions of which we
read, is improbable. The same
time devoted to music or a Ian
guage would soon bring us an ac-
complishment.
