By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

The whole history of human life with
its petty round of irritating concerns
and duties" is, after ALL, a story OF
thoughts, ideas, prejudices and longings.
Most of this menal life cannot be re-
duced to writing. It's an unwritten his
tory.
The various so-called new thought
cults, invented from time to time and
practiced by uncounted thousands for
shorter or longer period of time, rep
resent attempts to convert mentatlon
into practical channels. Take for ex-
ample the now rather popular notion
that years have nothing to do with
ones age" There's a virtue In that
philosophy, despite all the pessimism
one may summon to the contrary. You
are as old as you think you are. This
| is not, of course, an absolute truth, but
| it certainly qualities as relative truth
So the idea deserves a place in ones
everyday philosophy Of life. Find some
way to stay young mentally, and you
will discover the tabled fountain Of
youth"
The most devastating Of all mental
microbes is fear. Eliminate the thou
sand-and-one anxieties that beSet your
daily life and you will retain youth as
we'll as good health.
This does not mean that fear has nc
place in the scheme Of things. 1t does
| I only mean that the man who suffers
as a result of his fears and anxieties
abuses the privilege Of thinking about
| what may happen.
It's a question of abuse rather than
use. It's a lack of sense of position OF
appropriateness. Many forms Of illness
are merely fears miSapplied. If you
take the trouble to keep ledger OF the
fears and anxieties that bother you
from time to time you will one day find
that about out Of 10 were misplaced
| ideas.
A considerable portion of life is lost
in premature attempts to save 1t. What
Darwin called the struggle for exist
ence" is very largely matter of ideas
confused. ideas abused. The Christian
Scientists are not wholly wrong when
they advise you to think in terms OF
armony, proportion, or even non-re-
Slstance.

Apple Indian Pudding.

Apple Indian pudding is an old-fash-
Toned American dish that is worth try
ing. 1t calls for pint Of milk, one
cup of quartered apples, one-quarter
cup of molasses, one-quarter cup Of
graduated sugar, one-eighth cup of
cornmeal, one tablespoon butter, half
teaspoon of salt and sprinkling of
cinnamon and nutmeg. Scald the milk
and pour onto the cornmeal. Add the
other ingredients, stirring we'll Pour
all into q buttered baking dish and

stirred occasionally. This is a small

Keeping Cool and Dainty.

When bath tubs were fifst introduced
many people considered their use q dan
gerous fad. Some doctors as well as
laymen feared that daily bathing would
undermine the health of the commu-
nifty. But the fad grew. There are
still, however. some traces Of this early
prejudice against bathing, especially
among people wing were born In the
middle SOS.
Prejudice dies bard. Every now and
then I receive letters from readers OF
this column asking whether 1t Is not
bad for health to take q bath daily.
This question Is answered In an author
itative tyay in Hygeia, health maya
zine, published by the American Medi-
cal Assoc iation:
Many persons take baths not only
once but twice q day with distinct ad-
vantage. There are occasional persons
whose skin is sensitive to the water
for whom it is not advisable to bathe so
often.
"If one takes q hot bath and sweats
profusely for q considerable period, one
often feels sense c. weakness there

SUB ROSA
BIT MIMI.

When girl fancies she's In love with
the boy friend. she isn't at all. Shes
in love with Love, which may be a
lucky thing for her when the boy friend
jilts her for somebody else.
At any rate, that Is the doctrine
about love worked out by people who
have more brain than heart, more psy-
chology than romance. They tell us
that when we have q crush on each
other we really have a crush on Cupid.
OF course, 1t sounds q little cuckoo
when we say that we love Love and
not any person. but where there Is
deep feeling 1t is bound to 60 out to-
ward an idea rather than person. We
love the earth under his feet, the sky
above his head. We love the love idea.
To be in love with Love Is to be
in love with Nature. That Is the way
the poet seems to feel, although he
doesn't always make his point clear.
When you read his love poems, you
see that they were not devoted to just
this one girl, but to the great world Of
dawns and twilights, moons and stars.
This should explain why it is that
when a girl falls in love with fellow
world, she thinks he's her hero. It's
magnifled him.
The girl gets the glow Of love within
her heart and she proceeds to cook up
romance about this man, just as
though she was making fudge. She
keeps most Of this romance to herself,
because women are naturally modest
and secretive.
Yes, and she has the sneaking no.
ton that II she were to tell her folks
just what kind of hero was in her
mind they'd not sympathize with her.
But this kind of love-exaggeration Is
all right. 1t makes poets what they
are and makes a kind of poet OF every
one who gets that way in love.
Love isn't private feeling. like a
sore finger or a chapped lip, but an
exaggerated experience which makes
them partners in the great Arm Of
Cupid 81 Co.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July 5.-The
rarest commodity in the village is
gratitude. Struggling young directors
often get together equipment of o sort,
beg or borrow enough money to buy
film, persuade their friends to give their
work gratis, and proceed to make o
picture.
Out of the numberlesS efforts of the
sort several genuine successes have
come. Josef Won Sternberg was made
every one who participated was as
stony broke as he He called the ven
ture Mud" It was later re-
christened 1.-The Salvation Hunters"
Otto Matiessen was leading man. In
those days Matiessen, an actor of
standing in his own country, was stroll
ing the boulevard trying to get foot
in the movie door. The finished pic
ture made Josef Won Sternberg.
Another venture of the sort was done
by Cline. And still another by Paul
bacteriologist who had the pictorial
urge, made his little picture under the
most tremendous difficulties. He called
1t THE Last Moment" and some Of
the time he was so poverty-stricken
that he lived on oranges. the product
Of nearby orchard visited after night

this little movie, which made a great
director.
Josef Won Sternberg Is now one of
the great directors of movieland. The
days when his starving little group
laughed at discomfort are forgotten

friends, through work given them
gladly and freely without pay, have
ever given q big role to one of the

Perhaps they are working under

way of saying something now and

81 Charles r. Driseon

Dr. Joseph Goldherger, who died recently. worked
out his famous cure for pellsgrs with the assistance
Of a group Of convicts in a southern state prison. DR..
Gcldberger had to have human subjects for certain
dietary experiments. He needed a group and he need.
cd men who could be under constant observation while
the experiment was in progress.
Arrangements we're made, and I believe the prison
ers were given certain rewards. such as favorable con-
siderstion by parole board or warden. for their part IN
the great experiment.
The result was the viping out Of the greatest
seOurge OF disease the south had ever known. with the
possible exception Of yellow fever. DR.. Goldberrsr
discovered that the disease was caused by certain mo-
notonous diet, and then was sbls to 90 to work on the
problem Of ~prividing items with which to vary tas

Much interest has been aroused by the proposal 81
ConSressmsn John n. Garner that the existing flexible
provision of the tariff act, under which the president
can raise or lower duties as much as SO per cent. be
eliminated. Garner proposed as a substitute that tn
house be authorized q PASS On individual proposals
for rate changes.
The plan proposed By Mr.. Garner would provids
appointment By the speaker Of the house of a com
mittse Of three republicans and three democrats, whose
duty il would be to investigate proposed changes Ia
tariff rates. Any change recommended by this COM
mittee would be presented 70 the house IN the form
Of a bill. The house. IN which all reycnuc-raising leg
islation must originate, would act on these bills after
an investigation by the ways and means committee OF
all data secured by the tariff committee.
The procedure proposed by the Texas congressman
would eliminate any necessity for general tariff ad-
juttnent. 1t would have the effect Of promptly meet

Lubbock Avalanche.

intoxicating liquor is readily prccurabls in the vicinity
Of the university campus. Upon reading news accounts
Of the incident, one derives the impression that the
was being carried on in the vicinity Of his institution.
1t Is difficult to believe that the educator was IN
aware Of the conditions which were revealed following
the ~disorderly conduct Of the girls in the class rooms.
II be had not observed the situation the fact Is not a
compliment to his insight into current affairs. How
ever, there are thousands Of people in the United
States who seem to be as unconscious Of the bootleg
ging situation as the educator. Despite the number Of
intoxicated people that are met from day to day and
people continue to ignore the illegal liquor traffic.
They admit that the bootlegging menace may be Sc
rious in some localities but apparently prefer not to
take oogniEsnce Of the local situation. II u reasonable
to state that bootlegging is universal. The illegal
traffic In intozicants may not be as marked in some
localities as in others, but the person with a penchant
for strong drink can usually supply his want without
great difficulty. Picus people who take pleasure in
discssing the fact that a "speskessy" has been unrov-
cred in the immediate vicinity Of a school in some
eastern city, and had At almost every street corner N
another city, usually are deceiying themselves. The
bootlegsing question is a universal problem. Educa-
tors and others who have assumed. in large measure,

cially the younger people. must realize that before
