decided then that 1 would always re-
member that.
But what he said that most i'm
pressed me-" he paused and yawned
most prodigiously, was that there
would be no use for alarm clocks or for
engagement calendars or anything like
that if people would just impress things
on their memory"
Now you know l get up at o'clock
each morning and tomorrow l am going
20 get up without any coaxing or any
jingle jangle of the clock" he yawned
again.
Imogene turned suddenly and picked
up the alarm clock from the dresser.
Don't wind that" protested Andrew
"All have to do is to impress my mind
now before 1 go to sleep that 1 want
to get up at seven and 1 will do it. Don t
set that clock" He yawned again and
turned half over as she set down the
clock ITS the influence of mind over
matter. l think 7 o'clock and I wake
at o'clock Yawning again, he settled
little more comfortably.
You'll see me get out all right in the
morning without all that COMPOUNDED
racket" he yawned again. That's it,
mind over matter Seven o'clock" His
eyes closed and his breath came in easy,
even rhythm and Imogene moved
quietly about the room and just before
she got into bed she carefully set the
alarm clock.
She lay down beside him and soon
her regular breathing indicated that
she also was asleep.
Andrew eased himself up carefully on
one elbow and reached over toward the
dresser His hand at last touched the
alarm clock and just as he was bringing
it gently over to the bed, Imogene
opened her eyes and said with a laugh
Don't worry, / set ii as usual"
Andrew dropped back on his pillow
with a grunt that might have meant
anything.

Il tell you had most interesting talk

drew as he united his necktie. 1t was
about the influence of mind over matter
and the fact that a mans mind becomes
weakened through not exercising his will,
and all that sort of thing. don't you
know"
NO, don't know" said Imogene, kick

take me about Is minutes to massage this

He did as commanded and from the pill

THE professor says he began, that
the brain is just like the bicep or any
other part of the body. If you exercise
it, 1t grows in strength. If you fail to
use It, IL sort of atrophies. Nature tries
to eliminate anything which is of no use
For example, mole has no eyes because
it has no use for them, although they
have a sort of rudimentary kindergarten
eye, that shows they once had them
Same way with the fish in the Mammoth
cave.
Now, the professor says that If we use
our brain it becomes strong. and If we
neglect it, 1t becomes weak. Take actors,
who work in stock companies; they can
memorize thousands of words a day be-
cause they have practiced it.
He said one of the best ways for a
man to exercise his brain was to start in
deliberately to learn one fact each day
and I made up my mind while he was
talking that I would learn one thing
