And We can go alone after the caller
departs and use mental antidote in
the way of affirmations of love and
good VIII and peace to all created
things; and more light for the gos-
siper.
To read what is painful, vicious, or
terrible, unless we are prepared to go
forth an endeavor to relieve the con-
dltlons of which we read, is unprofit-
able. The same time devoted to music
or a language would soon bring us an
accomplishment.
To Talk About Disease Usually Results
in Self Hypnosis
To sit and listen to the stories of
terrible surgical operations, or to re-
late them, is q popular method of in
dulging in Improbable conversation
with many women
And 1T is sure method of inviting
sickness, and maladies which may
lead to similar operations.
Every thought and every word has
its effect upon our physical structures
In Proverbs xii: is, we read THE
tongue of the wise is health' in the
same book, In the multitude of words
there wanteth not sin; but he that re-
fraineth his lips is wise
And yet again, "A wholesome
tongue is a tree of life
Cultivate wholesomeness in your
conversation. Invite it from others.
Talk of good things; of happy 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 as you might be
forced to take something nauseating
In your mouth. and as you would go
and rinse your mouth with an anti
septic afterward, so hasten to talk of
good and sweet things, and to make
your affirmations after your unpleas-
ant talk has ended. Your thoughts
and your conversation are building
your character and shaping your flu
ture.
Do not indulge in improbable con-
versatfon
And do not be afraid to remain si-
lent when you have nothing of inter-
est or value to say!

waste precious, precious, moments and
still more precious mind-stuff in what
we know, If we pause to think of it,
Is Improbable conversation or worse
than Improbable.
Have you not heard a whole family
of intelligent beings use fifteen golden
moments in a heated discussion re-
garding the precise date on which
some unimportant event occurred?
One said 1t was the tenth; another
was certain it must have been the
ninth, or the eleventh-certainly not
the tenth; a third was sure it hap
pened an entire week earlier or later;
and so on and so forth. And when the
matter was settled or not settled. no
one was a whit benefited. 1t is only
when one is on the witness stand or
some vital issue is at stake that such
a use of memory and words is of the
least importance.
Again so much valuable time is lost
in discussing the weather. The
weather is a topic one naturally finds
in the foreground in lands where the
thermometer prides itself upon rapid
climbs and sudden descents. But even
in the tropics. where the temperature
does not vary over ten degrees in the
entire twelve months, people find the
weather a time-killing topic.
In our ever-varying and never
duplicated Seasons have heard sensi-
BILE human beings wax almost violent,
disputing whether last year or the
year before was not warmer or colder
than this year; or whether such un-
seasonable 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 con-
versation.
1t is not instructive, interesting or
amusing.
Gossip Is Improbable and Also Ma
ngnant to the Mind
1t does not develop the reasoning
powers to give food to the mind.
And 1t entertains no one.
Gossip is not only Improbable, but it

Beware
of ointnents offered as
"just as good as Resinol"

Ifyou have any skin trouble, you want
Resinol. You want il. because you have
known about it for years, because your
friends and neighbors have used it success
fully, and because you know that physicians
have prescribed it for nineteen years in the
treatment of eczema, rashes, ringworm,
pimples and other distressing eruptions.
You do not want a Substitute" or some
thing that a dealer tells you is ''just as
good as Resinol." You do not want it
because you know nothing of its value.
1t has nobody's endorsement and for all
you can tell it never did anyone any good
at all. If a dealer tries to force Sub

reason of his own-read about it in the

Some days my correspondence is so in-
teresting that I am tempted to share 1t
with my readers and it often reminds me
of subjects that I would like to talk
about A pupil writes me in regard to
facial surgery. whether I would advise It
for deep frowning lines that she says she
Is unable to remove by massage.
First of all do not advise facial sur
gerry except in serious cases where there
is some absolute facial deformity. It ID
an expensive process and the results are
somewhat problemaucal. 1t should only
be entrusted TO the hands of a qualified
surgeon of the first rank.
The operation my correspondent refers
to Is simple one. 1t consists Of cutting
the skin near the hair line back of the
temples and drawing back the skin, that
is, taking little seam in It so that the
loose skin over the forehead will be tight
ened and the lines disappear. This opera
ton is painful, and 1t sometimes leaves a
scar. Let US assume for arguments sake
that 1t does not leave a scar, what are the
results? When the operation is success
IL leaves the forehead for the moment
perfectly smooth and unlined.

Results Not Lasting.

Unfortunately, the permanence of these
good results cannot be guaranteed. II the
habit of, frowning Is still indulged in, tho
lines will return, for the skin is extremely
elastic and will continue stretching. In
such case the painful, expensive opera
ton must be repeated.

the utter disapproval Of putting the
question to vote at this time. Dur

man fIobson and his prohibition aides
waged vigorous campaign to secure
the adoption of his amendment to the
Federal Constitution. 1t was said at
that time that it was hopeless to Sc
cure the necessary votes for such a
radical move. Many OF the members
OF Congress were averse, and they
are today, to committing themselves,
in view of the liquor agitation that is
going on In various states.
1t has been decided, apparently, to
get the matter over with, for Chair
man Henry of the Rules Committee
