IMAGINATION, HEALTH AND
 BEAUTY

An excellent proof of the fact that imagination is stronger than will power in controlling the body is prov ed in the following way. Put a plank 30 feet long and 12 inches wide on the ground and walk the length of it. You can do so without any trouble at all. Put the same plank at, say, the height of a church tower, 100 or 200 feet from the ground, and try to walk it's length. You couldn't possibly do it. Not one person in 10000 could You would see the space underneath you, your Imagination would make you think of the horror of falling, and you would become very dizzy and you would fall in spite of all your will power to walk across the plank
 Few of us know and few of us reck- on with the power of the imagination. Even physicians are only just now realiZinng the immense possibilitie of curing disease by making the imagi- nation work for the patients health The miracles at Lourdes which hun dreds of thousands witness every year the miraculous cures of Coue, who does not like to be called a miracle worker, the superiority of a trusted physician over one who is not trusted are only proofs of imagination's pow teaching of have faith only, as it is put nowadays by scientists such as Coue, the reasons for having faith are given so that everyone can under stand.

 Yes, you can still try the liquid diet at least once a week. if you find that you do not continue to lose unless you do so. Skim milk is about the best liquid for this, although any liquid not totalling 100 calorieS a glass will do; or if it totals more that that, fewer glasses of them.

 Miller did the same. A sickly silence fell upon the patrons

TRUDA'S ROMANCE SHATTERED
 It seemed as if Fate was bent on breaking up the even peace and un- eventfuIness of the lives of at least two of its prominent families, for the very next morning, as Mrs. Cameron and her daughters were sitting down to plan out their summer trip, the telephone tangled violently, and in re- sponse to Truda's good morning an excited voice could be heard at the other end raised in hysterica1 protest

 I had filled then. I found myself wond dering almost half-heartedly how I'd fare now.
 The first thing that befe11 me at the Yelda office was discoouraging- humiliating even. A rather pert and cheeky office boy took the card on which the girl at 'Informatfon'' had written my name and Sauntered off in the direction of the private offices. In moment he sauntered back again, dropped the card languid1y into the wastebasket, announcing indiffere ntly:
 MT RockhilPs busy. Can't see you.''
 This seemed to conclude matters be- tween me and the Yelda people. I got up with what dignity I could muster and marched out of the office. But I wasn't through. I knew there must be a way of getting to MT. Rock hill. It was by business to find that way.

 little scar Of unfaith or doubt or synicisn. But what seems unbear- able today will only be a painful memory in a year. It may not be painful For there As so much to learn through blundering that some times in retrospect the tragedy seems a blessing in disguise.
 We all need education. We all need to learn that our sorrows are of our own making-due to wrong thinking and nothing else. We have learned a great and important lesson once we can acknowledge honestly:
 .sThis was my fault. I loved the wrong sort of persons" or t1 loved the right sort of person in the wrong way"
 fiasco of what we should have been a beautiful love, we have learned something about what not to do. We have been given a chance to realize what it is that chflls and dism1sses love. Out of the unhappy experience we bring an equipment to make us wiser and sweeter and worthier when next love visits us
 Love will come again to every heart which not only yearns but prepares for it. 'sFor God above is great to grant as mighty to make, and creates the love to reward the love-.
 The love which has failed may be nothing but a preparation for a rnishtier love- Perhaps the power to interpret life will grow out of the sad experience of a love which has failed
 to all life. In the capacity to sur mount suffering is the key to all growth.
 An unhappy love affair may wreck the coward, It may cause the moral weakling to decide that nothing is worth while-and sink into degrada- tion and desperation to prove it. But it has a far different effect on a fine, big soul. Such a soul recog- nizes that unhappiness may have been of its own making-of its own deserv- ing. And so it determines to stand the test and struggle to be worthy of 1ife's gifts when next they are with in reach.
 Broken hearts mend when once their possessors are honest enough to face the situation they have brought on themselves and to declare:
 'I blundered somehow = some where. I won't fail again. I'll make myself deserving of a big love and then I'll be bound to attract it. And once have it, I'll hold it. That much I'm going to get oue of the seemingly bad experience-the knowl- edge and power to hold love when next I capture it.

VALLEY PEOPLE
ASSIST RANGERS

Supervisor VIM. Maule of the for.
est service, in speaking of the fire
that ragged in the canyon back OF
the Woodfords resort, expressed his
gratitude to the people of this CON-
munity who SO promptly responded
to the call when the flames seemed
out of all control.
Men from this valley left their own
business and ranch work to lend
every possible assistance, and this is
the community spirit that counts.
During the time of the fire, tourist
travel had to be diverted from the
Woodfords canyon owing to the high
wind that spread the flames over a
part of that section making 1t unsafe
for travellers.
Had 1t not been for the prompt
action of the forest officials the TIM
bered section of that range would
have been burned clean.
