<<r DON'T remember things

recent occurrences" n
the common plant Of many, II
not most, people beyond what is
called the meridian of life.
Let me tell you an intimate
personal story, but one which was
to me distinctly illuminating on
this point
A number of years ago my
father, the late DIR. Stockton
Reed, then eighty-two years OF
age, came to visit me from his
home in California. I had seen
but little Of him during the pre-
ceding ten years, but was fairly
familiar with the trend and scope
Aof his reading preceding that Pc
Rod. 1 was, therefore, a little
surprised one day when, review
ing one Of my manuscripts, he
corrected the date in reference
to English history. We made the
reference, which confirmed his
criticism. A few days later the
experience was repeated, with
precisely the same result
ST didn't know you wCre so up

Der that you took to it much in
the reading you used to do" ]
observed, in some surprise.
That's So" he replied. But
it's rather good story" he went
on, laughingly. "You SEQ, had
reached that point when / needed
only two books for a library. ia
read one book through then the
other. BY the time I'd finished
the second one I'd forgotten the
first, and all I had to do was to
go back and read 1t over. It
finally got to be COMPOUNDED dis
gusting''--'confounded' was the
only expletive I ever heard him
employ.
"Well," he went on, "I'd heard
a lot about old people not being
able to remember anything, and
I thought I'd look into it-test it
out, as 1t were. I couldn't think
of anything that I knew less
about and that would, therefore,
be a pure memory test than the
English royal chronology. So I
went at It. In the next thirty
days / had 1t pretty well mas
tered. That was three years ago.
I believe / can pretty nearly
write it out now. Give me that
pad of paper"
He took It, went out under the
shade of a tree and remained
there until he brought me the
result. The long list of Eng
lands rulers, from Alfred to the
then reigning Edward VII con-
tanned but few erasures or other
corrections and, on reference, was
found to have but two omissions.
How do you account for it?"
I asked.
ITS simple enough. In the
first place. this thing of an old
man having no memory capacity
is all bosh. What happens is
that he Ia blessed by not remem.

SECRETS OF HEALTH

MEMORY AND OLD AGE

bering a lot Of stuff that has NO
particular relation to his ad-
vanced life. His failure to re-
member such things is simply
conservative. There are. of course,
lot Of things he ought to re-
member and he can remember
them just as well as he ever
could If he will only do it.
1.-THE simple formula for his
guidance is to recognize that
something is going to be Of fu-
ture interest or importance to
him and then give attention to
that particular thing. Memory
you see, depends upon the vivid.
ness Of the original impression,
and that depends upon attention.
Then, too, you must associate
that fact or impressions with
other facts or impressions. had

chronology. I found it slipping

In the beginning saw him
two and three times a week.
Lately he only calls once a week.
He claims that his business takes
up all his time.
On previous occasions he did
not keep appointments, but he
always gave a good excuse. When
he does see me he never asks
how I spend my evenings. OF
course, he always acts the ardent

to go about it.

noN'T permit this man to "act

be attracted to you, OF even in

tude shows that he does not
really love you. His failure to
keep appointments and his casual
attitude toward your going about
with others show that his feel
ings are not very deep or vital.
Since you permit him to make
love to you, he probably judges
