Why Does the San Set?

in later years, experience various
losses which are as infantile as
baby teeth. Loss Is nearly always
the prelude to growth, but we
refuse to recognize that fact.
Life changes-we must move
along-and how we yell when the
traffic signal changes! But would
we prefer the life that never
budges from it's rut-the mind
that never alters its attitudes or
opinions? There are lives and
minds like that. They are often
very happy minds. They are
never afflicted by change or dis.
illusionment. They chuckle and
bubble happily to themselves in
their padded cells in insane asy-
lums. Would we really like to
change places with them? Isn't
1t better to pay the price of pain
for growth and sanity?
This is not a Pollyanna article.
There is nothing more contemp-
tible than spineless resignation to
adverse fortune. But let's not
add to our miseries by rating as
"misfortunes" those experiences
which are nothing of the sort.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

People in general seem to worry
a great deal when they think
their memory IL failing.
Often poor memory is caused by
a general poisoning of the system,
due to faulty elimination, which
affects the brain cells and inter
feres with their ability to register
and hold new Impressions.
Fatigue from hard physical or
mental work also plays havoc
with the memory.
Faulty habits of concentration
are another cause. We want to
remember a certain thing, but
while we are attending to it the
mind Is drifting off to other
thoughts and the thing is not
recorded as 1t should be nor as
sharply and powerfully as is neces-
sary for retention.
II an occurrence IL unusual we
remember it more readily than il
otherwise. Should a meteor drop
on the pavement at Forty-second
Street and Broadway. New York
city, for instance, that fact would
stick In the mind for years.
Perhaps you have observed also
that events which occur but a
short time previously are more
easily recalled than those which
have occurred long time ago.
Psychologists, who divide the
mind into two great divisions. the
also designate a third division
known as the foreconscious.
The foreconscious is the place,
just underneath the conscious IS
as it were, and just outside the
focus Of attention, where thoughts
and impressions may linger for
days before they are finally sub
merged into the deeper recesses
OF the unconscious, there to be
more or less permanently stored
away for future use.
While thought processes remain
