HOW TO DEVELOP MEMORY
jogging the Subconscous Mind by
Association of Ideas Is Said to
Be Good Way.

You have often read that If you
want to awaken at certain hour tn
the morning you have only to impress
your subconscious mind with that hour
upon retiring and you will awaken at
the appointed time without difficulty.
Perhaps you have tried the expert
ment and been successful.
| have discovered way by which
the method can be extended and made
still more successful, William G.
Towne writes in Nautilus.
Supposing you want to remind your
self of something of Importance that
you need to do early on the following
day. You might write 1t down and put
the memorandum under your watch or
fasten II to the pincushion on your
dresser; but it is a bother to have to
use mechanical memory ticker for
such purpose. 1t Is like using
clutches to walk with. What is your
memory good for If it needs bolster
ing up constantly by this sort of ex-
pedient? You can teach your memory
better habits.
Here is the way: Say to your sub
conscious mind at night, when | am
putting on my shoes in the morning 7
shall remember that am to do SO and
So" describing the thing you wish to
recall to mind.
by connecting your affirmation with
a specific act like putting on your
shoes you give the mind sort of peg
to hang the mental record on, and Won
VIII find the results will be more posi-.
tive. or course, you can If YOU wish
substitute any other act connected
with the morning activities for that
OF putting on your shoes. The i'm.
portant thing is to make your affirma.
ton positive and specific by connect.
ing 1t with some act that you perform
every morning.
You see, you are making an annoint.
ment with your subconscious mind IN
meet you at a certain place with Ger.
tain reminders, and it is very neces.
sary that the meeting place should be
familiar one and clearly understood
1t should stand out sharply in the i'm.
preston you give your subconscious
mind and then the recollection will
be CORRESPONDENCE sharp and clear
IL
The more familiar and common the
act with which you hitch up the Of.
firmation the better.
