1t has revealed among all the nations
taking part in it.
We realize with amazement that
until to-day we had but an incom-
plete and Inaccurate idea OF mans
courage. Remember, for instance,
Homer's heroes, the ancestors Of all
the heroes of our day. These models
Of antiquity, the 6rst professors, the
first masters Of bravery, are not really
very brave.
Heroism was once n sharp and
rugged peak, reached for a moment
but quilted forth with, for mountain
peaks are not inhabitable. To-day 1t
is a boundless plain, as unlnhabitable
as the peaks, but we are not permit
ted to descend from II.
III II be true, as | believe, that hui
mainly is worth Just as much as the
sum total of latent heroism which 1t
contains, then we may declare that
humanity was never stronger nor
more exemplary than now.
On Death.
| T were a salutary thing for each Of
us to work out his idea OF death
in the light of his days and the
strength OF his intell gence and to
! learn to stand by It. He would say to
| death:
Il know not who you are. or
would be your master; but in days
when my eyes saw clearer than to-
| day 1 learnt what you are not: that
| is enough to prevent you from be-
coming my master"
! Here begins the open sea. Here be-
/ gins the glorious adventure, the only
one abreast with human curiosity,
the only one that scars as high as its
| highest longing.
/ The best part Of life is that it pre-
pares this hour for us, that 1t is the
[ one and only road leading to the
magIc gateway and into that incom-
/ parable mystery where misfortunes
and sufferings will no longer be pos
sible, because We shall have lost the
body that produced them; where the
worst that can bcfall us is the dream
/ less sleep which We count among the
number Of the greatest bOOns on
, earth.
Why, there are no dead!
On Life After Death.
! THE dead live and move in our
midst far more really and effectu-
ally than the most vcnturesome
/ imagination could depict. 1t is very
doubtful whether they remain in
their graves. even seems increasingly
certain that they never allowed them
selves to be confined there.
| Whatever our religious faith may
be, there is at any rate one place
where our dead cannot perish, where
they continue TO exist as really as
when they were in the flesh and often
more &C .yely; and this living abid-
ing place, this ConseCrated spot,
which for those whom we have lost
becomes Heaven or Hen according as
we draw nearer To or travel further
from their though IS and their desires,
Is within ourselves.
There are no wicked dead because
there are no wicked souls. This is
why, rs we purify ourselves, we re-
store life to those who we're no more
and transform our memory, which
they inhabit, into Heaven.

ander Teixeira de Mattos and brought
cut by Dodd, Mead & Co, there runs
remarkable philosophy Of life here and
Tire life beyond. From these writings
bsief. epigrammatic expressions OF
NaetDrlinck's IDEAS on love, gambling,
boxing. heroes, death and life after
death are presented to-day In The
Bvoning world--a bird's-eye view Of
a great mans mind.
What Maeterlinck Says:
About Love.
WE are told that a thousand CEN
turtles divide US from ourselves
when we choose the woman we love.
and that the first kiss of the be-
trothed Is but the seal that thousands
q hands, craving for birth, impress
upon the lips OF tbs mother they de-
Etre.
II, like Don Juan, we take a thou
sand and three to our embraces, sdu
N.will we find, on that evening when
arms fall asunder and lips disunite
that it Is always the same woman,
good or bad, tender or cruel, loving or
faithless, that is standing before US.
The one love that each Of you has
sought is waiting for you
On Gambling.
GAMBLING is the stay at-home,
imaginary, squalid, mechanical,
Anaemic and unlovely adventure Of
those who have never been able to en-
counter or create the real, necessary
and salutary adventures OF life. II is
the feverish and unhealthy activity
Of the wastrel. 1t is the purposeless
and desperate effort OF the debllitatcd,
who no longer possess or never pos
sessed the courage and patience to
make the honest, pgrsevering effort,
the unspasmodic, unapplaudcd effort
which every human life demands.
The lucky gambler, even, more in
6allibly than the one who has no luck,
will return to the enchanted table and
IN so doing loses the only effective
weapon that he had against his
enemy.
Where is the gambler whether los
ing or winning, who IS able 10 go
away and not come back?
On Boxing.
THE fist is a workaday weapon, the
human weapon par excellence,
Un0 only one winch IS dudptSu per-
rectly 20 the sensibiiity, the resist
ance, the offensive and defensive or
gans of our body.
In a human society which would
conform to the evident behest OF ma
tlIre, the fist, which Is to man what
the horn IS to the steer, what the
:, claw and the fang are TO the lion
the fist would serve practically our
desire for protection, justice or ven
gaance.
The art Of boxing wherever gener-
ally practised and cultivated, becomes

Chiropractic
Qualifications

The qualifications Of a Chiroprac-
tor depend not upon how many
things he can do. but upon how
good he can do one thing find
and correct a subluxation.
The training of the fingers and
the hand (the ability to see" with
the 6nsers) is the one long subject
in the education of chiropractor.
Every day of his three years study
he is drilled and taught the use Of
his fingers. Every possible position
that a vertebra could be sublux-
ated is studied.
If the chiropractor is deficient in
this one important subject he resorts
to other means.
When a. so-called chiropractor
suggests that you use salt baths. or
rubs you, or manipulates you. or
gives you any so-called treatment.
you may be sure that he does moi
know how to locate the "cause" and
is covering his ignorance by re-
sorting to something that is no,
chiropractic.
Remember that chiropractors dc
not treat" or cure" They find
the cause and remove it.
