SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-Ry DE-. Louis z. Risch-

by DIR. Louis Il. Blsch i
TT is not merely for purposes
1 Of convenience that science
divides the mind into two parts,
the conscious and the uncon-
scio. 5. The distinction really has
great practical significance.
The conscious mindand let It
be emphasized that this II con-
seriousness and not conscience
is that part Of our thinking
mechanism through which we re-
ceive impressions from the world
outside OF us.
Through our sense organs
eyes, ears, mouth, nose and skin
we see. hear, taste, smell ana
feel Just as soon as these men
tai images are experienced by
the nerves that constitute the con-
scious part OF the mind, however,
they are Immediately submerged
into what might be called the
deeper recesses of the mind,
namely. the unconscious.
The reas son for speed is the fact
that consciousness must continu-
ally clean the slate, as 1t were,
for the recording of new impress
sious that write themselves upon
it without cessation during the
hours that we are awake. AS
quickly as possible tf mental im-
pressions must be tucked SOME
where for future use.
If such a system were not
operative it Is easy TO UNDERSTAND
that the conscious mind Wouia
soon become a hodge-podge OF
thoughts and impressions, SO
mixed up and confusing that the
individual. figuratively speaking
would not know whether he was
coming or going.
Another way to look upon the
difference between the conscious
and the unconscious is to liken
the former to the door of a room
through which all our daily ex-
periences pass in order to be cata-
logued and properly shelved in
the permanent storehouse of the
mind, the unconscious. ~
This morning, for example, you
passed a shop window and noticed
a display OF fur coats. When you
watched yourself so as to avoid
being run over the impression OF
the fur coats was already ciassi-
fled and placed in your uncon-
sci0us mind. And now, as / men
tion the experience. you are able
to recall the fur coats--in other
words, you are able TO Idig down
into the unconscious. resurrect
this past experience and relieve
it in your consciousness again.
1T stands to reason, therefore,
that millions Of thoughts, actions
and feelings of the past must be
recorded somewhere in your uncon-
scious mind. The unconscious. in
effect, and not the conscious Is
the real you.
One might say that you ere
what you are today because of all
the experiences that have ever
occurred to you fIOm the cradle
up to the present time. In one
way or another every impression
that has ever passed through your
consciousness into your uncon-
scious mind has influenced you.

MEDITATIONS
OF "A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

nNCE, il q girl could get
man as far as the altar, she
sat down and breathed a long,
sweet sigh Of relief. Her life-Job
was practically over. Nothing
more 10 do but run the ribbons in
fler lingerie, keep the hearth fires
burning and patronlze her
spinster friends!
The marriage certificate was as
strong as steel, Law was law,
honor was honor, a married man
was married man. and a wife
was a wife proposition!
But now-off, the difference to
us. The wedding is just the
start in the love.chase. And the
feat of woman's life is not
getting a husband, but holding
ONTO him, after she's got him.
Men are so restless, divorce is
SO easy and popular and positive
Iy 'swank," that all the good old
nnarriage.ties are getting as loose
and fIabby as a pair OF last
years garters!
No man seems to feel legally
bound 10 go right OH loving
woman just because he married
her and signed a promise 10 that
effect.
, And yet, the advice-givers go
right on handing out the same old
bunk about how to hold g. hus-
band by keeping your hair neat,
feeding the brute, and cultiYating
your personality.
There is only one sure way to
hold your man, these slippery
days. and that is by making
FIRM of maria ge-by tying your
lives and your spirits together
with mutual aims, interests, work
and ideals. BY working together
for the same goal whether it's
building a home, rearing family,
making a fortune or carrying on
a. professional career. BY pool
ing your interests and sharing
your failures or victories, your
hopes, your secrets and your
profits.
Keep Your hair neat and your
nose DC ,ydered OF course! But
don't forget that there are 70
love pirates right around the cor
ner who spend half their lives
between the scented bath and the
looking glass.

But don't fancy that flour-ano-
water paste will hold a man
against apple sauce and imported
perfume.
Don't nag him." should hope
NOT! But remember that every

No. dear heart! Marriage is no
longer confidence game, in
which woman can win by bag

who can be sure of her husband
is the one who makes herself his
partner in this great business
called LIFE.
