Bear those three principles in

failing memory.
II you consider a thing important

centrate when II c U and let
your mind soak 1t up thoroughly.
Next. try TO recall IL soon after.
Recency)
Think about 1t hard. Intensity
Repeat IL to yourself many times.
(Repetition)
Poor memory as well as good
memory are largely matters OF
habit anyway
We are careless In our thinking.
Fatigue also is a factor.
We try 20 remember too many
things OF little or no importance and
hence wear out the brain cells for
remembering more important facts.
Trying to remember isolated facts
and not assoc!ating them-linking
them up with something else-also
makes for poor memory.
IL Is really easy TO improve your
memory.
Observe your memory reactions
and you will soo discover where
the trouble lies.
II you find hat you do not as
sociate your memory images sufft-
GENTLY. why make IL a point 70
practice memory associations as
much as possible. Soon your men,
DRY will improve.
Whatever the memory fault may
be. stress its particular correction.

ahead themselves. | wonder if it's
quite fair TO expect them to do the
waiting?
Now there are Elizabeth and
Alice, the two sisters. Elizabeth
is clever and quick-witted and high
spirited. Alice is slow and a little
dull and rather meek, but she
thinks Elizabeth ought to wait for
her all the time.
Elizabeth is asked 10 parties and
Alice is not invited-ought Eliza
beth to stay at home to keep Alice
from feeling hurt?
Or ought she to go right ahead
on her own light-hearted way and
let Alice loiterU along with dull peo-
pie of her own choosing? What
do you think about il? Alice's
friends r good enough, but
there's nothing interesting or bril-
liant or clever about them. Eliza
beth always knows charming peo-
ple-poets and painters and &C
tresses and things. Alice doesn't
know what to say to them and they
don't know what to say to Alice.
Why should she want to hold
Elizabeth back just because she
can't quite make the grade" her
self Maybe the grade isn't worth
making anyhow. perhaps she's bet

Anyhow, sh e's a whole lot

go their own separate ways and

in taking Us of. We also see it in certain other
organic Observation-Disclosures in other words.
However, in poor memory. the first thing to
think of is that the trouble is merely a malfunc-
tioning Of the brain cells-transitory and durable.
What constitutes memory anyway?
Memory depends upon three cardinal prin-
ciples. First, the REGENCY Of the Stimulus-how
long ago it was that the thing occurred that you
are supposed to remember.
Secondly, the Intensity of the Stimulus-how
strong and pronounced was the stimulus
Thirdly, the Repetition of the Stimulus
how often you heard or saw it repeated.
You tend, in other words, to remember some
thing that occurred an hour ago more readily
than if it happened yesterday.
If something striking takes place your
memory of it will be clearer and more lasting

set time to suffer from the symptoms Of hay
fever.
The pollen from certain flowers, the dust

and the effects Of certain vegetables, are among
the most common exciting factors in bringing
on hay fever.
AS soon as the susceptible person is exposed
to the exciting cause of hay fever the first of a
chain Of symptoms appear. Sneezing, difficult
breathing, feeling Of fullness in the head, ina
bility TO sleep, loss of appetite and constant
fatigue, all appear. The nasal and breathing
symptoms are usually most acute.
