STARTS IN MENTAL STATE
Success Begins in Large Measure u:
Making Yourself Believe
Il First.

To attain success you must saturate
your mind with the thought of sue
cess. You must feel success. You
must act as much like success as
possible. Affirm that the spirit is GO
ing to lead you to work that you can
10 and do satisfactorily
Did you ever hear the head OF q
sales department lecture his men?
That is the essence of his talk. Make
yourself believe it first and then the
other fellow. One sales manager, get
ting discouraged reports from one of
his men on the road. sent another man
to vitalize him anew with enthusiasm.
He found the discouraged one lin the
dumps" He took him to a good show,
bought him a good dinner, shot q
game Of pool with him, joshed and
jollied him, told him he was all right,
got his clothes pressed, gave him a
slap on the back and after a day or
two started him off on his trip again
and he began to send in orders.
The fellow had simply lost his punch
for the time. Instead Of firing him the
sales manager took the better course
VI ieStoIluS HIS punch anu thereby
saved one Of his best men.
There is lot in the way you feel.
If you go out with assurance people
stand aside for you. It's in your own
mental attitude, William E. Towne in
the Nautilus Magazine tells of q
teacher of will power development in
Paris who was consulted by a young
woman who complained that she was
always being jostled in crowds and
treated rudely by the clerks in the
shops. The instructor explained to her
that she had surrounded herself with
an aura OF "self-depreciation and NOR
bid sensitiveness.' which fairly Gin
vited" people to impose upon her Her
mental atmosphere was so negative
that it attracted more positive natures
to push her aside. She was instructed
how to keep and maintain a positive
attitude Of selfassertion and self-re-
spect. For a time she was even to
cultivate an aggravating form OF self
assertion in order to more quickly Off
set her negative habits of thought con-
corning herself and her relation to
other people. The result was that
within a very short time she was
treated with the greatest respect and
consideration wherever she went and
even in crowds she was shown far
more than the ordinary degree of
courtesy.

HOW THE MOVIES ARE BREAk-
ING THE NICKEL BANK.

In the Family's Money Depart
ment of the July American Maga-
zine a writer says:
'Since the opening of the nickel
movies, the little banks which for
merly held the small savings of the
younger members of families have
dwindled until they are thing OF the
past. Sunday school teachers say
that the movies have much to do
with decreases in Sunday school
treasureries.
THE temptation to indulge the
child when it asks for a nickel is too
great for some parents. The money
is given freely-hence the child
comes to regard nickel of small
consequence. All of the money
which the child earns, or which j..
given to it, is spent for shows, fire.
Quently without the parents knowl-
edge. A careful watch on three
children, members of family in
moderate circumstances, dependent
upon an income of $95 a month,
revealed the fact that in a week the
hree. children spent s1.19 for NOV
ing picture shows and ice cream
cones. The youngest of the three
is but five years old. Figuring that
the same amount is spent each week
for year, the total would be
S1O1.4O. If that amount were saw
ed for the smallest child until it was
ready for higher education, the sum
would far exceed the amount us
ually spent for the college educa-
ton Of the boy or girl of moderate
habits.
IF a child is taught that the
money given to it must be kept for a
useful purpose, it will soon learn to
be a judicious spender."

WHERE THE PAClFISTS ARE
FLAGRANTLY INCONSISTENT.

An article on pacifism by Earle
Harrison in the July Woman's Home
Companion says:
You are for peace in your own
home aren't you? There is good
Yale lock on your door, and pc
liceman outside to protect the
block. You pay for both these safe,
guards against burglars. because you
don't want some proving burglar
to disturb your peace at night.
Burglars may come only once in a
lifetime. but YOU take the trouble to
look up the house every night. War
come three times in the average
Americans lifetime, but a great,
great many of our fellow citizens do
not imagine that it is worth while
10 take any precautions against its
again. The lock protects the
door; the policeman protects the
block: national preparedness Will
protect the nation. 1t is necessary,
we think, to keep off the occasional
robber; but it isn't necessary 10
keep off the more-than-occasional
war"

WOULD BAR DRUG
CHEMIST TELLS OF DEADLY EFF.
FEcTS OF PEYoTE.
Demoraiizing to Ute Indian Tribe, Is
the Charge Made-RealIy Is Some
thing New In the Way
Of Narcotics.
" opy !ISnt.I

Discovery that the roots and bios
SONS Of plant known as peyote,
chewed by the Indians of the Uinta
basin, contain properties like unto
opium, and which are deadly in their
effect, has been made by Herman
Harms. Utah state chemist. according
to Salt Lake City correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record. So seriously
does Mr.. Harms regard the menace
OF the weed that he recommends that
the next legislature take proper steps
to include the plant in the list Of pro-
hibited narcotics.
Peyote constitutes the dried roots
and dried blossoms OF small cactus
plant that grows In the southwestern
section Of the United States. Some Of
1t grows In Utah, notably the Uinta
basin. Ute Indians. many OF them. are
habitual users OF peyote and some in
clude it in certain forms Of their re-
ligious ceremonies.
AT the present time" Chemist
Harms says in his report to the gov
ernor Of Utah, "the Ute Indians hold
their 'peyote service every Saturday
night until Sunday morning at Rand
lette, Utah, and from all accounts this
evil habit is growing at a rapid rate
with decidedly demoralizing effects on
these people"
