BEAUTY OF BLINDNESS.
Helen Keller Says the Mind Reveals
Hidden Treasures

Helen Keller, the blind poet. author
and musician, in speaking about the boys
who will come home blinded, from the war
SAYS: There is one consolation which
the boys will discover later. When the out
side world no longer fills our thoughts
with its blaze of beauty and myriad at
fractions, we find that the inner world has
its own Joys and alluremcnts. Most per
sons have never explored their own minds
and have no idea of the treasure hidden
away In their natures.
If YOU are in position where your eyes
are IN danger, protect yourself rs well As
possible. but if this greatest of all
Affections does come, get this beautiful
spirit of optimism which can see bcyoifn
actual affiiction in such a way IS to make
it blessing
Explore" your own minds DO not
be satisfied with the thoughts of yesterday.
Hidden treasures, wonderful and allur-
ing-havc YOU discovered what YOU have
in your own mind?
Helen Keller does not sit and weep. She
explores her own mind and has found the
hidden treasures which she not only en-
joys herself, but adds to the worlds en-
loyment.

While the streets of the city are bright

cars. as cabmen demand from two to
three dollars a ride This is all on the
surface. There is untold misery in the
poorer quarters, with a constant cry Tor
bread, Of which there is provided half a
loaf a week for each person. Prices here
probably are the highest to be found IN
Europe and seem fantastic. Shirtwalsts

Vienna is making desperate efforts to
get food and coal, which the Czecho-
Slovaks are said to have offered,

old Bavaria. 1t also is stated that propo-
sitions have been made by American
packing companies, but cable communi-

is need for the business people here to
