of thought processes, the missing
information is stored away in your
subconscious or subjective mind.
Your conscious mind forgets
lot. But your suhconscious MIND
is supposed to remem2er,-to store
away-everything you ever en-
counter from cradle to grave.
You've heard how, when a man is
drowning, his whole life passes in
review before him in few sec
onds. This means, the subcon-
sclous mind simply throws its doors
wide open and displays its hidden
contents to the conscious mind.
Thirty-one years ago, DR.. Thorn
son Jay Hudson wrote a long book,
The Law Of Psychic Phenomena"
1t towers hea dand shoulders above
everything Of a similar nature ever
written.
Hudson sets fourth a theory that
the subjective (subconscious)
mind exercises compete control
over the functions ana sensations
Of the body. Also, that the sub
conscious mind tand, in turn, the
functions and sensations Of the
body) can be controlled by sug-
gestions made to it by the o5iec-
I've VI CONSCIOUS mlnu.
Here's how Hudson advised read
ers to cure a nervous headache:
The suggestion mus. first be
made that the headache is about
to cease; then, that it is already
ceasipg; and finally, that it has
ceased. These suggestions should
be made in the form Of spoken
words, and they should be steadily
persisted in until the desired effect
IS produced.
"A constant reiteration o. the
declaration that the head is better
will inevitably produce the desired
result. And when the effect is dis
tinctly felt, the declaration should

Daily they go forth to do their work.
Unheraded, unaureled and unsung;
they penetrate the coal mines dusty muk
They climb the gaunt steel Orders they have flung
Against the sky; beneath the river mud
They drill the tunnels where the trains shall run
They cut down mountains and they dam the flood
Doing the job that must be bravely DONE
The hot blast furnace, belchng gas and flame,
Is theirs to feed the forge, the glowing steel,
They WELD the locomotives massive frame
Their hammers beat upon the vessels keel
They string the wires that bring city light
Down to the sea in ships they take their way
STEADY and calm by day and through the night
They DO their work and earn their need of pay.
Death turks beside them, but they do their Job :
Forever daring, ever unafraid.

No pioneer, no soldier of romance

The outstanding problems of the in
