SECRETS OF
HEALTH

TT IS so easy to take things
! for granted without investi-
eating for ourselves.
1t saves time and trouble not
to bother to prove or disprove
what we hear. How much simp-
Ter to accept q bit Of gossip
without questioning 1t than to
weigh and consider it and to
make it q point to learn the true
facts ourselves.
Especially are we prone to be-
Neve derogatory statements.
Altogether too often we &C
cept without challenge der0ga-
tory statement about q friend
or acquaintance.
Indeed, we tend to question
something praiseworthy said or
done, rather than something
that is likely to bring diScredit.
Undoubtedly our instructive
competitive sense accounts for
this fairly universal trait at
least in part.
Then behind each and every
instance when we like to be-
lieve assertions against, instead
of for. an individual, there is
some deep-rooted personal rea-
son, perhaps an unconscious
jealousy that activates us.
Bits Of news, in one way or
another, travel to everybody.
These, too, we accept altogether
too readily.
Our thoughts are filled with
such odds and ends, making Of
our minds q diSorderly room
cluttered with junk
1t would be q good rule if
everyone questioned everything
they hear.
That, Of course, could also be
overcome.
But far better that, than tax
ing too many things for granted
and thereby having our think
ing directed BY unfounded and
often petty gossip.
Always demand proof. at
least in your mind, about what
is said. See to it that state
inents appeal to, and are ac-
cepted by, your reason. The
faculty Of reasoning Is con-
sidered by some scientists our
most priced possession. Let US
use it to the utmost.
There are those who accept
as true everything that is
printed. Somehow the printed
word holds a fascination for
them and they feel overwhelmed
by its Importance.
Yet we all know that the
printed word is no more likely
to be the truth than is the
spoken word. In fact. the OPP
posite is often apt to be the
case.
Question what you read if it
does not appeal to your COM
mon sense or to your reason.
investigate who wrote it and
wonder why.
Always suspect gross exagger-
alton.
Be on your guard against adj
vertisements or offers Of all
kinds that are too alluring.
Watch yourself lest you take
for granted and believe not
what is plainly the truth, but
merely what you wa to be-
neve.
The mind can be tri ".
Be careful lest itsssrick you

Several views of the bullets had been taken, it
was true but what the attorney for the de-
Tense had been clever enough to do was to re-
volve each bullet the same amount, thereby
never permitting marks made by the same
groove inside the gun barrel to show in the

Good Points in Hoover
Address Are Cited

From the FL Paso Herald.
President Hoover made several good
points in his Memorial day address at
Arlington National Cemetery, and the
best were these:
That (the Kellogg BRAND peace
treaty. is a declaration that springs
from the aspirations and hearts OF men
and women throughout the world.
IF we are honest, we must consider
our own naval armament and the arma-
ments of the world in the light OF their
defensive and not their aggressive use"
The latter Is a normal conclusion
from the former. Peace pacts are
valueless unless actuated by sincerity.
Sincerity Is questionable If nations In
siSt on ornaments for offensive and
not merely defensive warfare.
If nations are earnest in their desire
to maintain peace, they will not have
thought of carrying war to their neigh
bors, but merely of defending them
selves.
This thought carries with 1t marked
limitation of armament. This does not,
however, mean disarmament. That ma
ton would be foolish which would dis
arm completely while others retained
their arms. We have not yet reached
that millennium in which nation can
confidently count upon respectful treat
ment unless 1t has the means to compel
1t. To disarm in the present state OF
mind of the world would be to invite
disaster. To speak softly but keep ones
powder dry is still the role OF prudence.

Federal Reserve Board
Scores Credit Victory

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating thereof. The Federal Reserve
Board set out on February last to
curb excessive use of credit for Specu-
lative purposes in order to keep the
cost Of commercial credit within bounds.
The volume of brokers loans consti-
tutes the handiest measure-though not
an absolutely accurate one-of its sue
creased last week by 1892, 900 900, bring
ing them down 1881 ,o00000 since the
beginning OF February to the lowest
point since December last.
Security values have naturally shrunk
under the pressure of credit restriction
But the decline has not been accom-
panied by any disastrous results, such
as surely would have followed the sud-
den bursting Of speculative bubble
that was in progress of initiation with
out rhyme or reason. Granting the
argument that the prices of many
stocks at the top of the rise were iusti-
fed by earning power and outlook, it is
unquestionable that sound investments
were carrying along in their upward
flight issues of questionable standing.
the ultimate collapse of which would
have had unfortunate consequences.
Thus far the Federal Reserve Board
has gained its objective without resort
to measures which might have ad-
versely affected business and disturbed
international credit relationships The
market has felt power at which it was
at first inclined to scott. It's confidence
In the stability Of underlying conditions
remains mistaken, but 1t is in no mood
to resume the interrupted orgy. Despite
widespread criticism, the credit system
of the country seems to be in firm
hands
