THE BENEFTT$OF RIGHT THINK
 ING.

One of the least regarded and yet I have so often quoted, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." You cannot constantly talk about and think about your physical we'll being with fear in your heart and keep we'll. You cannot constantly think health, talk health and believe in your heart that you have health and keep sick.
 At recent meeting of the Amer ican Association of Progressive Medi-
 cine, I listened patiently to two long technical papers, one of them by young German scientist, telling all about the actions of certain very in teresting germs and what they do to the poor little rabbits and guinea pigs
 and the other by a very ambitious American scientist, telling of his in teresting experiments with non-toXic virus vaccineS. The presiding officer
 heartily commended both papers as
 he had a perfect right to do for they
 were really wonderful and showed a
 tremendous amount of careful re-
 search work done in the interest of
 humanity and for which about the
 only compensation the doctors will
 be to see their names referred to in
 other scientific works.
 The presiding officer then said that
 he wanted to introduce a physician
 who was his instructor during his
 medical college days over 30 years
 ago and who was the author of sev-
 eral standard medical text books A
 very vigorous and white haired old
 gentleman then threw a bomb shell
 into all the doctors present by declar-
 ing that the great majority of all
 cases of sickness and suffering was
 mental and not physical. That he
 no longer found it necessary to use
 medicine or surgery in many cases
 and many times when he did use iether,. it was for the psychic effect. Here. is a paragraph from Edward E. EVarmen's article in the December Nautilus:
 /'"There is nothing in this world more convincing than the practical demonstration of ones theory. Work of some kind for both body and mind, | is a strong factor toward attaining Hong life. A, man in one of the Eastern states, farm hand, rounded out the cele- bration of his one hundred and fourth DTLnOdy dnuIV0TSdIy Dy 0dl1ES d IldAl section of a juicy cherry pie. But when you read the record of the amount. of work he does daily-does, not did-you will quite agree with
 me that he could have eaten the whole pie without any ill effect. Here is his daily program at 104 years of age: 4 a. m., gets up; 4:15, feed the horses; 4:25, start the milk ling; 5:3O, breakfast; 5:45, curry the
 horses 6 o'clock, hook up for the milk train, blow or take out a load of hay; S:10, chores; 12 o'clock, knock off for dinner; 1 D. m .,fix wag- on and other odd jobs; 4 o'clock, take the cows in to be milked; o'clock, clean the horses; o'clock, supper; 6:3O o'clock, loaf around; 9 o'clock, go to bed.
 Evidently he is not an I. w. w. for he has held his present job for S1 years and, what is still more to his credit, he says he has never tired of his job. Surely it is not work but worry that kills"
 I presume most of you have heard of Captain Diamond who died re- gently in California at the age of 118 years. I remember telling you some thing about him when he was Ill years, and we thought he was pretty
 old then.
 Keep smiling, cheerful, don't worry, don't overeat. Keep clean, keep faith in God and in yourself and you will win health, happiness and long life.
