THE MAN WHO TALKS

were never what others seem to en- | joy, and sundry other dog thoughts which bark at the heels of fool every 1 day of his life that he will let them, and it will not take you long to feel 1 your own self created handicap and {, become a failure. You are able to
 make mind your friend or foe-and mind IS you! Hope and Faith and
 Push are mans three able assistants and the quicker he finds this out the
 better it is for him. It is the mind the mood, which makes men efficient
 or inefficient. This has been
 preached more than 5000 years, and although it is d great truth it doesn't
 make a deep impression because men
 do not believe. Believing is the six
 cylinder mental force which drives men
 to the greatest achievements. 1 We are told now that the epidemic | which puzzled the doctors of Spain has
 broken out in Germany. This is good news not because it places upon the enemy one more affiiction, but because
 it in way disproves the theory that Germany by the spreading of germs
 has created with base design the dis | ease to destroy the Spaniards. It is | not at all likely the Germans would 1 let loose the disease germs upon them selves. The disease germ theory bears the. label of German origin: and the dispatches have told us that they spread germs in Roumania and in France, but there is no proof what ever that Germany has been able to
 start a contagious disease among her
 enemies anywhere. The Lancet, the
 oldest medical journal in Canada, printed recently a letter from Dr. John B. Frazer, M. D., c. M., of Toronto,
 showing the germs are incidental to disease, but not it's cause. To test the l germ theory from 50 G09 to a million dipthereGc germs were taken with
 food. millions of typhoid germs. and
 millions of pneumonia germs Six persons. men and 2 women, took the germs, and in two years 47 different
 tests were made and not a symptom of disease was developed.
 Il It is amusing what disputes have
 arisen over the pretty little service
 flag. It simply tells the public that
 you have as many representatives at
 the front as there are stars on the
 flag Who can legitimately use the
 stars? If the industry be served and
 the civic and religious bodies a sol . dier belonged to can have him repre- sented upon their flag. what is the use of claiming his brothers and
 sisters or his cousins and aunts have no right to show their interest and , pride in the same way. A western authority says and 1t is well to re-
 member this little flag came to us from the West:-"A fighting man may
 be represented on several different flags. on that Of his club, his place of business, his church and in the wind ows of all his near relatives. There } is no hard and fast rule about the |, ! | 4l,a , ice of our boys at the front and keen / free from the selfshness and jealous ies which disrupt families and na- tions,
 Have you called it to mind that war is costing the American people | five times what immortality does in g Q year; and that immortality an6 e social diseases cost more than ter a times as much as is spent for all re- " isious home work and foreign mis y sions? How do we know this? Int American Federation of Hygiene toit T US years ago that the American peo t pie spend annually three billior | dollars, because of their immortality
 and social diseases. More than eigh = hundred and ninety-two thousand I dollars a day the year round! Isn't i = surprising how liberal men can be fol U things which bode them harm.
