to an important piece of business, something
that couldn't wait while you frivolled away an
idle hour. You think that he put slight

"In reality, he paid you high compliment.
He assumed that you were an Intelligent and
reasonable human being who would be able to
see the situation from sane and just stand

r greatly aids us to realize their common
humanity that these earliest true men
- could draw. Both races, it would seem,
drew astonishingly we'll. They were by all
standard savages, but they were artistic saw
ages. They draw better than any of their
successors down to the beginnings of history.
They drew and painted on the cliff and cave
walls that they had wrested from the Mean
derthal men. And the surviving, drawings
come to the ethnologist, puZzling over bones
and scraps, with the effect of a plain mes
sage shining through guesswork and dark
ness. They drew on bones and anthlers;
they carved little figures.
LOVERS OF PAINT
These later Palaeolithic people not only
drew remarkably we'll for our information,
and with an increasing skill as the centuries
passed, but they have also left US other in
formation about their lives in their graves.
They buried. They buried their dead, often
with ornaments, weapons and food; they used
lot Of color in the burial, and evidently
painted the body. From that one may infer
that they painted their bodies during life.
Paint was big fact in their lives. They
were inveterate1 painters; they used black
brown, red, yellow, and white pigments, and
the pigments they used endure to this day
in the caves and on the cliff surfaces of
France and Spain. OF all modern races, none
have shown SO pictorial disposition; the
nearest approach to it has been among the
American Indians.
These drawings and paintings Of the later
Palaeolithic people went on through a long
period of life, and present wide fluctuations
in artistic merit. In it's early stages the draw
ing is often primitive like the drawing Of
clever children; quadrupeds are usually drawn
with one hind leg and one fore leg, as chill
dren draw them to this day. The legs on the
other side were too much for the artists tech
nique. Possibly the first drawings began as
children's begin, out Of idle scratchings. The
savage scratched with flint on smooth rock
surface and was reminded of some line or
gesture. But their solid carvings betray a
complete incapacity to group animals.
AS the centuries progressed, more skillful
artists appeared. The representation Of beasts
became at last astonishingly vivid and like

SUGGESTION AND HEALTH
BY H. Addington Bruce

a N inquiry which has come to me regard
~ Ing the meaning Of the term counter
suggestion merits more than private
answer In these days of special interest in
the possibilities of healing by suggestion
possibilities to which attention has been SO
1nslstently called by the publicity given the
teachings of the kindly Emile Coue 1t is.
indeed, particularly desirable to say some
thing about counter-suggestion If only be-
cause it often is responsible for failures in
healing by such methods as Coue advocates.
Inc effect OF those methods, to state the
matter as briefly as possible, is to introduce
into the mind certain beneficent IDEAS
THESE being accepted by the mnd-as a
result, usually, OF a long process of frequent
relterat1on-they tend, like all IDEAS to find
realization in appropriate bodily action Thus
the idea of sleep leads to sleep, the idea
OF relaxing leads to relaxing, and so forth.
Now, suppose that you are endeavoring
to aid yourself by suggestion, repeating
over and over to yourself some specific
idea. Suppose that you confide to a friend
the object you have in view and the means
adopted to gain it. Suppose, too, that the
friend comments:
"How foolish! You are only wasting
time and energy trying to benefit yourself
this way
Such statement with. reference to the
idea you have been suggesting to yourself
would be counter-suggestion. 1t obviously
tends to implant in your mind az idea
directly counter to that upon which you
have been dwelling. If accepted by you it
will have the effect of completely robbing
the earlier idea Of any beneficial value it
otherwise might have had
And counter-suggestions to this or that
upbullding, curative idea emanate not only
from ones friends. They come to one from
chats with casual acquaintances from books,
from all manner of sources, even from ones
self.
DAY by day, in every way, am getting
better and BETTER
Thus runs the Coue formula, which you
faithfully reiterate for a few nights and
mornings. Then, your sleeplessness and
dyspepsia persisting, you say to yourself,
''How false that isl" Here is counter
suggestion, perhaps of sufficient potency to
induce you to cease all further iteration
of the Coue formula.
Possibly you do need something more
than curative self-suggestion to overcome
the health difficulty that troubles you. But
possibly, too, it would have brought the de-
sired result but for your counter-sugge
Of it's uselessness.
How to avoid neutrality-suspicious. that
may work harm? They cannot entirely be
avoided. How to overcome them?
By a resolute and instant turning OF the
attention to something else so that the
mind is fully occupied with that something
else And, in especial, so far as concerns
t6 curative ideas, the
mind may well be turned to the 1ndisputable
truth, validated by many scientific expert
ments, as by facts Of everyday observa-
ton:

health. One should not believe otherwise.

said it was most important, because the man
was only going to be in town few hours,

Words are cheap. About the easiest and
least costly thing any man can do is to sit
down an( fan girl with hot air, and tell
her how wonderful and beautiful she is, and
how he adores her, and that every hour that
he is away from her is weary eternity.
Lots of men will do that, and they will
camp on girls parlor chairs, play around
with her, and always be Johnny-on-the-spot
when she wants to go to a dance, or the
movies or some place of amusement, but they
loaf along on their jobs, and never get enough
money to get married on.
"And the poor, silly, little girl believes that
she has inspired a grand passion in the mans

and because he is always hanging around

Believe me, daughter, there's nothing in
sentimental twaddle to which a woman can
tie. The acid test of love is not what man
says to you, but how much he is willing to do
for you. The real lover doesn't sigh, and
moon about, and curse the cruel fate that
keeps you apart. He rolls up his sleeves, and
gets out and hustles to bring the wedding day

They rarely drew themselves. The vast ma
jority of their drawings represent animals.
The mammoth and the horse are among the
cOmnlonest themes
Some Of the people, whether Grimaldi peo-
pie or CroMagnon people, also made little

these are some very fat female figures. These
latter suggest the physique of Grimaldi rather
than of Cro-Magnon artists. They are like
Bushmen women. The human sculpture of
the earlier times include to caricature, and
generally such human figures as they repre-
sent are far below the animal studies in vigor
and veracity.
Later on there was more grace and less
1coarseness in the human representations. One
little ivory head discovered is that Of a girl
with an elaborate couture. These people at a
later stage also scratched and engraved de-
signs on ivory and bone. Some of the most
interesting groups Of figures are carved very
curously round bone, and especially round

also been found modelled in clay, although no
Palaeolithio people made any use of pottery.
Many of the paintings are found In the
depths Of unlit caves. They are difficult OF
access. The artists must have employed lamps
to do their work, and shallow soapstone

OUR HERO
BY HELEN ROWLAND

There is no doubt that man was INTENDED
tn NAV the star role in the comedy-drama OF
life.
The stage was all set for him when ne
anneared-and then he was given woman
as scene-shifter, audience and applause
Resides men ARE wonderful! they are
natural-born heroes!
If YOU don't believe it, listen while> they
tell you about it.
Any little boy can tell any little girl just
how he would dispose Of lot OF indians IL
thew should suddenly appear in the cellar
or the nursery.
And any grown man can tell woman
inst how he would settle capital and labor
and run the country, If he HAD to.
Any little boy can tell a little girl now
to fly her kite, wind up her mechanical doll
and run her kiddie car.
And any grown man can tell a woman
how to make coffee, manage the servants
and run the house with the least trouble
A man can always teach woman to
swim if she will only stay on top OF the
water and stop "guggling" while he's hold
ing her heels up.
In the time that it takes her to find his
hat, umbrella and brief-case, and to pick up
his newspaper and cigar ashes after him in
the morning, he can tell her just how to
systematic her work and make housekeep-
ing one long, sweet dream.
While she is getting little Johnny off
to school so that he won't hear his father
shaving, and rescufng the baby from the
hot end Of it's fathers cigar, he can tell her
just how to bring up the children.
Man is perfectly willing to give woman
equal rights-but let her beware of trying
to steal his SPOTLIGHT from him!
