Mrs. Harriet McCOllum Tells
Large Audience how to
be Well, Happy and
Successful.
POWER OF SUGGESTION
Corner Stone of Applied
Psychology is Suggestion,
Says She.
You can be well.
You can be happy.

You can be success.
So said Mrs. Harriet McCOllum, sis
ter of Dr. Eftie McCollum Jones OF this
city, in fine address here Sunday at
ternoon Mt the Universalist church.
Mrs. McCollum made these three I'M
qualified statements as promises, the
fulfillment of which she held lies with
in the ability of all through right NV.
ing under the principles OF applied
psychology.
Mrs. McCOllum spoke to full audi
tOrium and was several times applaud-
ed. Her address was on The Science
Of Right Living and Right Thinking.
Mind and Disease.
She holds environment to be a refiec-
ton of personality and the human body
to be reflection of the human mind.
In the last analysis she holds disease
to be of mental origin-determined by
the temperament of the patient. And
the cure, she held. in the last analysis.
lay in changing the temperament:
Right thinking, right emotions.E etc.
she held to be Indispensable Health
depends" she said, ION two things
how you live and how you think. IT
matters little what happens. But
how the thing that happens affects
you. is the thing that counts"
Law of Suggestion.
Mrs. McCollum admits she is a
"health and happiness crank Find
your place and work" said she. You
ought to find Il work that fills your
soul. Happiness then is part of
you" AS to success, Mrs. McCollum
advises that one study ones type.
The subconscious mind, she holds,
controls nine-tenths of human action
and the one law under which the SUB.
conscious mind operates is the law OF
suggestion. Suggestion reacts Oh the
human mind and is the corner stone
of applied psychology. She holds
that disease. and even the matter OF
growing old, is largely matter OF
popular thought. The epidemic OF in
fiuenza last year she held to have
been largely matter OF popular
thought and suggestion. Posters all
over the country demonstrated the
truth of the saying that 1T pays TO
advertise for. US Mrs. McCOllum
sees it, these circulars, by suggestion,
helped to spread. rather than TO
check, the epidemic.
Clean Body Necessary.
- Drink two quarts of water day,
eat no meat and breath deeply-these
things make for clean body. she
says, and clean system is necessary
to good health. Get your mentality
above disease says Mrs. McCollum.
She construed literally the promise
Of Jesus that 1.-The things do We can
do and even greater She feels that
applied psychology will bring science
and religion together by demonstrate
ing the statement of Jesus that faith
the size of grain of mustard Will
move mountains. "a miracle" said
Mrs. McCollum. lis the operation OF
law the world does not yet under
stand. Applied psychology will bring
an understanding OF miracles to the
masses. Healing the sick and raising
the dead are promises of the bible.
We fail to perform them because we
do not understand the law OF right
living. Nothing is impossible
Mrs, McCollum warned against say
ing ANYTHING to children that we do
not wish to become permanent part
of their lives-a dominating lnhu-
ence. made so by the power OF sugges-
ton.
The lecture was closely listened to
by the audience and, following the adj
dress, Mrs. McCollum was introduced
. to all who wished to meet her. She is
certainly notable woman and is
doing great work III bernlectures

enthusiastic and her words and &c
tons carry conviction. jiFHer lecture
in Webster City yesterday WAS Very
much appreciated by all who heard II.
