Everybody ought to learn. from early
childhood, the Importance of controlling
their thinking Thoughts may be, and
often are. as deadly as the worst engine
of destruction ever invented.
Not long ago Zeppelin went sailing
over Paris. dropping bombs as it passed
Fortune was kind to the Parisians. and
no one was killed or seriouly wounded by
the exploding bombs. One woman, how.

She had been killed, not by bomb, but

There was train wreck in Illinois. A
number Of passengers were badly in

cal harm of any sort. Yet among the
latter there were at least dozen who
afterward developed paralysis Of arms or

These persons, repeat, had not re-
ceived the least real bodily harm. The
whole trouble with them was that they
had thought they must be severely in

where recovery would otherwise have
been assured.
Moreover, the world is, and always
has been, full of physical wrecks whose
invalidism has been directly and solely

Truly thoughts are "the realest Of all

The Hyphen AS An Issue.

Some eminent Berliners, who are wor-
rying about US unnecessarily, send word
across that If the German-American
vote stood solidly together on any Issue il
could control national election
This is a mistake, somewhat laughable
10 anyone who understands much about
our politics.
Get nationality behind any issue in
America and you can rely upon every
other nationality voting the other way.
Even so-called pure-blooded Americans
have made fizzle of that sort Of thing
and we can assure our Berlin friends that
If anybody starts a German-American
issue over here, il will be sat upon by
British-Americans, French-Americans

Observation-Disclosures, American-Ameri-
cans and all others, hyphenated or un-
hyphenated.

and Germans by extraction may go a GER

does. but the issue that makes a division
no nationality always gets laid out cold
and this is as it should be.
