If you hit your thumb
with a hammer you
wouldn't blame your
thumb for hurting.
Then why blame your
husband whose nerves
may have been pounded
by coffee, and whose rest
probably has been broken
by the irritation of the
caffeine it contains?
If you stay awake half
the night you don't feel
any too cheerful.
The caffeine of coffee
and the them of tea are
known drugs. If their use
is persisted in, sooner or
later the nervous system
may give way.
Then you may have
insomnia, or disturbed
sleep. Your nerves and
tissues will be robbed of
that stability essential for
normal and happy living.

PUTS PRODUCERS in DEBT

Uncle Jake Rhodes. in continuing
his money talks last Monday night,
stated that the striking characteristic
of the present financial system is that
it involves the producers in a chronic
state Of indebtedness. The builders
of houses, of factories. of machinery,
the producers Of tools. of foodstuffs,
and clothing, make everything and, as
rule. hardly own anything; while
men who are not productivity OF USE
fully active own about everything in
sight. And this condition Of affairs
has chiefly been brought about, here
in America at least. through the IN
strumentality Of money
Thomas Jefferson and President
Jackson fought the money power as
long as they lived, But by stealth and
the treachery Of venial politicians, it
has grown to such a proportion that
1T has become almost omnipotent IN
our public affairs and the world Of
business.
The present financial squeeze, it is
charged. was brought about deliber-
ately by an international consortium
Of bankers. Evidently in fulfulment Of
an intimation made in the following
memoranda submitted by Baron Roth
schild to Lord Salisbury. premier Of
England, in 1896.
This century will not close before
we shall have a general reorganization
of international relations throughout
the world. and alliances and combina-
tions on new lines to meet conditions
which have long been changing silent

THE ONLY SECURE FOUNDATION

A certain teacher Of mental science
has made the statement that every
mind wide-awake to the power Of right
thought in constructive action has
come to the conclusion that Man can
change himself, improve himself. re-
create himself, control his environment
and master his own destiny. This, of
course. can only be done through the
rightful use of the mechanism of in
telIigence sthe brain, with which
beneficent nature has outfitted every
one of us. Everyone will admit it to
be self-evident. patent fact that our
manner Of living will have determin-
ing influence upon the condition Of our
body, brain. and nervous system. That
dissolute living, Incorporate, depraved
conduct, must react detrimentally up
on the brain tissue. and make the very
best mental activity, correct thinking,
practically impossible, was one Of the
subjects brought up in the Mental
Science Class last Sunday.
Abuse brings about deterioration,
non-use causes atrophy in brain sub
stance in the same manner that mus
cles waste away when not used.
All progress and improvement begins
in the mind-a new possibility, hith-
erto unknown resource in nature, is
perceived, dawns upon the conscious
ness, attracts the attention more and
more day by day, until. it is at last
seen clearly in its fullness with the
minds eye. the consciousness; and is
then wrought out in actuality and seen
in operation by wondering people

PSYCHOLOGICAL VIEWPOINTS

That for hundreds of years we have
inherited our religious predictions,
political beliefs and viewpoints on ev-
ery-day topics from our progenitors;
that we have accepted them without
interrogating them as to their verify;
that we often just say. Il like this or
that idea, without any preliminary in
quiry or analysis whatever, was charg-
Jed by a speaker at last Thursday 5
psychological meeting. The average
man is prone to jump TO conclusions
without paying any attention whatever
to the evidence that might be produced
either pro or con on the subject.
Most people are even now estimat-
ing and viewing world problems from
the standpoint Of self, Of privilege.
Although it is fully evident that nine
tenths Of all error, both in theory and
practice, is the result Of wrong stan
dards Of thought. Jesus of Nazareth
taught that "A house builded upon
sand cannot stand" This statement
had reference to the mental convic-
tions of men, upon which their atti-
tude. dispositions, and actions were
based.
One Of the gravest accusations that
he hurled at the rulers Of the Jews,
was that they had taken away. or rath-
er withheld. from the people the
keys" Of knowledge.
This teacher Of old evidently taught
that positive knowledge in every field
of human endeavor is the only reliable
foundation to build securely upon, By
discarding prejudices, opinions, ano
speculations Of every kind. and placing
our reliance in our efforts only anc
solely upon definitely ascertainec
knowledge. we gain cosmic view.

Pete Kemp came near having serious

WOMAN'S STUDY CLUB

Through transitions from tribal to

archy and forms of communism to ar
istocratic government we come to the
study of the Roman proletariat.
1t was more than 10000 years since
the first Semitic repords had been
written on Babylonian stone; the As
syrians had passed away and their rec
ords, claiming to cover a period of 50,-
900 years had become mere myths;
only the Sphynx and pyramids remain
ed above the sands as witnesses to
5000 years Of Egyptian empires when
Rome under the Caesars became the
world power.
When the city had been built the
Roman people still lived in groups Of
blood-relations. although the men had
already assumed the mastery over the
women. Reforms. such as redistribu-
ton Of land. had been forced under
leadership of the Gracchi. Catahn OF
Spartacus. The leaders often betrayed
and the reforms were opposed by
those for whom they were undertaken.
The Roman proletanat numbered
many millions Of people taken captive
from any nations and classes, but the
difficulties in the way Of an interna-
tional understanding were insurmount-
able, depending largely on the spread
of the Latin language and a knowledge
of Roman conditions.
