Wonderful Is Effect
Of Mind Over Matter

Autosuggestion is a powerful force.
Several times have seen people grow
colder Immediately when they found
no heat in radiator after touching 1t,
when, in fact, they had been fairly
comfortable before that discovery.
Likewise, l have been comfortable In
room myself until l discovered that
all the windows we're closed tight. !
was too hot to do anything until l had
opened one or two of them.
All this reminds me of story that
perhaps many of you have heard. It
is about novelist who, while describ-
ing in one of his stories an Arctic
snowstornl, grew about as cold as the
mske-believe characters who were
fighting the blizzard. 1t was In the
middle of summer, but he was so cold
that he built a fire in the CRATE to
warm his room.
1t is possible to become cooler in the
summer by having pictures suggestive
of winter hanging on the wall-pic-
lures of snow scenes polar bears,
frozen streams, winter sports, icy
peaks of snowclad mountains-all will
help to make an impression.
One should read story Of the Far
North and imagine that he is the char
acter in the book, whose ears and nose
are freezing from biting northern
blast and that his hands are blue with
the cold and teeth are chattering. If
one takes in the details and shudders
as though with the cold, it won't be
long before he is feeling decidedly
cooler. That's the effect of mind over
matter.-Salem News.

French Nation Shouun
as Great Landowner

The greatest landowner in France
is the French state. 1t possesses pal
aces, castles, mansions, buildings of
all kinds, and forests-besides roads,
ports, railways. A record Of all it's
properties, just drawn up, reveals a
total value Of $3,S00,OO0,O00. The
castle and park of Versailles. are es-
timated at $240,000,OO0. Fontaine-
bleau is much cheaper, $4,280,0O0, and
it's wonderful forest is worth only
$2,000,000. Also, the lovely castle of
Azay-le-R ideau, in Touraine, is en-
tered in the inventory for the ride
ulous sum of $4,000. To make up
for that, the Louvre, in Paris, with
its immense palace and the Tuileries
garden, comes up to the sum Of $780,
100000.
But the French administration re-
fused to assign any monetary value
to certain monuments. such as Notre
Dame de Paris and the Arc de Tri-
omphe, which symbolic a glorious
past, or to the war cemeteries in for
eign countries, under the French flag,
where lie the children of France who
sacrificed their lives for justice and
iberty.-Washingto Star.

NetD Light Shed Upon
Origin of Languages

1t is now suggested that the student
of language must look for origins in
Africa. Doctor Mari, of the Russian
Academy of Science, has announced
that from the early Stone age, when
peoples of African type picturesquely
dotted the European fringe of the
Mediterranean, language has been
brought down with the retention of
some of the Africoid elements and
words. The Hottentot language was a
highly sophisticated speech, instead of
a crude and primitive one, although,
perhaps, not as formidable as the az
glutinative Tagalog of the Philippines.
Hottentot seems likely now to charm
etymologists away from the progenitor
tongue of the Teuton and from Sans
crit. 1t may make the Scythian plains
but tarrying spots for speech, rather
than the homeland of modern related
languages.

Moved All Ports Inland

In ancient times so terribly did
the SEA rovers infest the Chinese
coast that one emperor with stroke
of his vermilion brush solved the
problem by ordering all seaports to
move inland 20 miles. Vast popula-
lions and great cities were moved
from the mouths of rivers by this one
act. Old walls and dwellings were
abandoned; new walls and properties
were set up.
The old sites we're used as Ohserva-
ton points, and fortresses were To-
Gated near them, so that 1t was no
longer possible for a feet to descend
without warning upon the inhabitants
of an unsuspecting city. This is why,
today there are no ports on the actual
Seacoast of China.

Loss of Food Animate

The annual loss of food animals In
the United States, through disease
and neglect, is estimated to be in ex-
cess of $2OO,OO0,0OO. 1t is likely that
this estimate on the part of govern
ment officials is far below the actual
loss.
The indirect loss defles calculation,
because we cannot possibly estimate
its effect upon the cost of living for
both the rural and the urban popula.

Traits Revealed BY
Abnormalify in Nose,

Is 1t true that singers frequently
have noses that are too broad to con.
form to the accepted standards Of
feminine beauty?
The typical singers nose Is said to
be wide at the top and broad and mus
cular in the wings. It has been OBJ
served, too, that singers whose noses
were, to begin with, rather delicate
and slender, acquired in the course Of
their training broad noses Of the sort
described. Jenny Lind had a nose
that was even ugly. The nostrils were
broad and the ridge though spacious
was fiat. This formation was said to
be especially favorable to soprano
voice.
Napoleon Bonaparte chose men with
large noses for responsible stations,
because, as 1t was explained, such
noses allowed free and full inhalation,
and thereby kept the brain cool and
clear. However, among notable men
who possessed quite small noses might
be mentioned Peter the Great, Thomas
Jefferson, Oliver w. Holmes, Robes
pierre and Thackeray.
Width between the eyes is said to
indicate ability in judging distances
and conditions. It was especially
marked in the face Of George Wash
ington, who was an able surveyor and,
of course, an excellent judge of con-
ditions.

Value of Courtesy

Courtesy, or an expression of thanks
can offset mistake many times. The

be peeved at first, but as soon as the

Cake Ingredients Vary
 As Altitude Changes

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 16.- Cake making in high attitudes has been the subject of year of experimentation at the Agri- cultural College of Utah.
 It was found that somt ingre- dients must be used in greater and some in lesser amounts as the altitude increases. The ordinary cake recipe should be reduced one-twelfth in fat and one-eighth in sugar, and inceased one-half in milk to produce a suitable cake at the altitude of the university, 4,700 feet.
 Similar changes in proportion were found to be advisable for a unfallen cake at other higher or lower attitudes.
