In case any of you have missed the
first chapters of my very interesting
life, you can get them by sending a
stamped, self addressed envelope and
request to the Doctor.
These memoirs OF me will bly,
be more interesting to young parents
than to others, and perhaps some
might think that they are a little too
intimate for general readers, al
though personally I do not think any
thing I could tell you of my most
wonderful existence could be any
thing but innocent and beautiful and

I won't say that I am innocent,

1t is this way. I don't get taken

course-that I should be taken up a

A NEW WAY TO BREATHE


There are fashions on breathing
just as there are fashions in hats,
fashions in beauty and fashions in
diet.
At one time the proper way to
breathe was to get all the air into the
upper part of the lungs. This was in
were in style and every lady tried to
initiate Mrs. Noah in figure. The
figure was so tightly compressed that
there literally wasn't room for a
breath of air to get deep enough into
or any part of the ribs.
The wasp waist went out when the
athletic woman came in and by way

been compressed for many years in

needed a little oxygen. However, her

low chested, an inrproveme but
still not the IDEAL
There's a new fashion coming in
which is to breathe to the back. This
is somewhat difficult because you have
to think about all those back ribs and
then try and force the air into them
But the ideal way of breathing. it
seems to me, is the way that forces
air into every part of the lungs. To
do this you must try to draw the
breath deep down as far as possible

Advice To The
LOVelOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

fIm the most miserable girl in
the world" writes Mabel. Nothing
ever comes my way. l see other
folks having friends and good times
and luck-but I'm doomed to misery.
I never enjoy anything. In fact I
never have anything to enjoy. Life
is as dull as ditch water. Do you
think it's worth my while to so on?
Do you imagine Things will ever
change and begin to come my way %
Things can't begin coming your
way, my dear, until you invite them
a bit more cordially.
Most of US have a way of meeting
a beautiful blue and good day and
shaking our heads with a mournfu1:
This is bound to be a weather
breeder!"
Most of US on waking to a sense
of cheerfulness and song. nervously
wonder when this mood of exalta-
ton will pass. I've caught myself
saying:
II feel so well. it can't last"
I'm absurdly happy about moth
ing at all, but first thing I know.
I'll have something to be unhappy
about"
I confess it. Like most of my sis
ters and brothers, I've had a foolish
and even wicked-way of imagin-
ing that there -had to be a reaction
from happin ess-that to be poyful
was a way of defying fate and in
wiling calamity.
But I've walked to the conscious
ness that this is all wrong.
Happiness isn't a matter of what
happens to US. I: does not depend
on circumstances nor yet on for
tune. 1t is merely a matter Of
thought.
Suppose two things occur to you
on the same day. One circumstance
is pleasant-the other ugly. First you
think about the happy event and you
feel contented, even joyous. Then
you remember the unfortunate con-
dition and you are miserable. You
may even dwell on the black cloud
until i. envelops you. and you can't
see out to the sunshine. But you
don't have to! There's nothing to
prevent your thinking of the bless
ing so hard that it fills your whole
view and stretches to the horizon
Misery is mental Lameness,
blindness. deafness none of these
are uncomfortable Affections unless
the mind makes them so.
. Our minds are our share of divin-
ity.
Our minds are ours to use. If we
open the doors and windows and let
the sunshine stream in, there is Moth
ing that can make US unhappy.
1t isn't easy to control our thoughts
1t is easy to let morbid fancies run
away with u.s. But m ost of the things
over which we agonize are only fan
cies. Most of our anticipated sorrow
never comes, and if it comes, endur-
ing it isn't half bad thinking
ali in cd
Actually we have a choice between
misery and happiness.
1t is just as easy to believe in
our good fortune as in our i'll luck.
1t is possible to be so sure of sue
cess that it becomes real
Encouragement. despair, horror
are all mental. Fear is our worst
enemy. And the minute we stop
being afraid and feel confident of
fortune and happiness, that minute
we are happy-whether or not an
actual cause for happiness is ours.

friends. Peters thoughts turned back
again, as they always did when his
mind was at the mercy of his dm-
agination. What was the use of it
all? Honor. righteousness, pride,
straight living, the ambition to do,
to achieve something real by his own
efforts-to what end? He knew that

A MILLION DOLLAR POWER
PLANT BUILDING AT PARSONS

Parsons, Kan, June 11.-An eX-
penditure of more than one million
dollars in building che of the largest
power plants in the Southwest, is
contemplated for the 1,000-acre tract
east of Parsons, on the NeOsho river,
recently leased by an eastern syndi-
cate. The Neosho valley was chosen,
it is said by persons in touch with the
project, because it affords an ade-
quate water supply and accessible fuel
Nearby coal fields will take care of
the fuel supply for fifty years, ex-
perts have reported. Strip pit coal,
good enough for steam coal, is avail
able on any part Of the tract.
Some say the Kansas Gas and
Electric Company is back of tie pro-
ject, intending to build their largest
power plant at this point, which is
conveniently located for distributing
power to four states.
