THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
By DR.. Frank Crane

Ponce de Leon sailed across the ocean to
find the Fountain of Youth. And who would
not gladly sail the seven seas unendng,r if at
last he would come to such marvel, and bap-
tie his wrnkled soul in its benign waters'
| would, for one. And all the multitude of
the diSillusoned would crowd my ship
But in vain One by one should all per-
Sh wild shores, and our whitening bones
would be landmarks of faulty.
Not that there is no Fountain of Youth.
There is. But it is not to be come to by
sailing
1t is in the same place as Heaven, and the
Land of Content, and the Country of Cockaigne,
and FL Dorado and the End of the Rainbow, and
the Goal of Souls.
HERE. And not at all in the far country of
OVER YONDER
In my heart is the Fountain of Youth And
in yours and every mans.
/ do not say it jay be there or by some
miracle be caused to flow there saw it is
there although, alasl in most of us hidden
under rubbish of ignorance concealed BY BRAN
bleS of fear, often filled up with dirt of septic
ideas, and the very place thereof Shrouded in
the miStS OF Maya (Which is ancient word
for DeluSion)
Dig down to the Eternal Verities and you
will uncover this sweet Fountain Find God the
Everlasting Spirit who is always making all
things new. Find Nature, which is Gods other
i"li!C, anu 10 StIOIg ana gOOQ ana full OF
health Find Humanity which is another of
Gods titles, and is of wondrous soundness.
The Great Truths are all Youthful 1t is
Lies that decrepit.
1t is not Years but Fears that make us
grow old.
1t is Faith that keeps the wrinkles out of
hearts, and it is Doubt that brings senility and
rotS our bones
And it is Love that is the Resurrection Fact
FOR 1t is Love that peoples Heaven, since if we
did not love we should not persist in believing
IN immortality. And as Love brings chill
dren into this existence, so Love will not let
them be annhlated in the next
Beauty also has the secret of eternity. Did
not the poet say that "a thing of beauty is a
Joy forever"
SO that If you can return to the SmpIicitieS
OF Beauty, and learn to SuCk delight from sky
and flower, thrill the sound of falling wa
tiers, send your soul up to soar with the birds
and get drunk upon the red wine of sunsets
you have discovered the Fountain
Within you is that Fountain. Retrace YOUR
steps, and fare backward into your Self Clear
away Fears, Doubts, Hates, Worries and all the
bitter things you have created to bedevil your
self withal.
Deep in. the center of your Self is the Foun-
tain of Youth You know it; for there by it
sit the three sisters, Faith, Hope and Love, the
rock from which it guSheS is called Truth and
the secret reservoir that feeds it forever is none
other than God Himself.

NTASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.---lf any great
w catastrophe, physical or mental, has
struck you and left you helpless, so that
you are unable to pick up your life and carry
it on again, you are the victim of new dis
ease with new. name. You have been COM
motioned
The term "commotoned" is one which sci
entiStS have coined to take the place of the
term ''Shell shock" of which we heard so much
during the war. Every man who has been
nervOuSly or mentally. rather than physically in
jured by the stress of war came 10 be described
as a case of shell shock. III, French English
and American doctors found toward the end
of the struggle that they could nearly always
cure case of shell shock. provided the pa
tent was reasonably willing to be cured. They
did not use medicine. They simply talked to
the man and placed him in favorable environ
ment to counteract the effc~.S Of the unfavor-
able one which had injured him.
Civil life, as we'll as military life, furnishes
many cases Of shell shock Since the shocks
are not in any way connected with shells, the
new term has been coined to describe the
resultant condition. And these commotioned
individuals of business and industry can be
cured just as surely as the shell-Shocked SOL
der and by the same means.
Shell shock was wierd and mysterious sort
of complaint, one that appealed to the magma
tion new thing under the sun, and conSe-
quently of much popular interest. AS COM
plants in civil life are largely matters OF
fashion, SO "Shel shock became quite the
mode in the army There were many cases OF
it, and the surgeons had much opportunity to
study it.

Even before the United States came into
the war the Red Cross had selected we'll

had sent him to France to study shell shock
