Everyday Psychology
By DE. JESSE ". sPRoWLs.
Mental Hygiene.
(Copyright, 1900

DR.. Freud, who, I am convinced, is
the founder of mental hygiene, at least
in the modern sense of that science,
teaches great truths. One of his best
deductions is this: Too many people
suffer for and on account of their
memories.
To put It another way, you may
"repress" your emotions, but you have
hard time forgetting" them.
So the big idea is to learn how to for
get as completely as you can, keeping
in mind the fact that you can never
completely forget everything.
1t seems to me you may promote your
own mental health by now and then
doing the best you can to recall the
things you apparently have forgotten.
This is a strange paradox. But, then,
it's no stranger than that offered by DR..
Dunlap of Johns Hopkins University,
who says that the way to remember is
to try to forget.
DR.. Dunlap is right. So is the oppo-
site process-try to remember and you
will forget.
One way to go about this trying to
forget through the process of recalling
is to write your own autobiography, even
if you can't find a publisher for it.
Let yourself be the author, publisher
agent and reader. The royalties you
are likely to get will mean more to you
from the standpoint of mental hygiene
than the best book in a decade has
meant in money to the author.
Your memories make many volumes.
Your unconscious self Is your library.
Leaf through this library. You may
there attain knowledge whereby you
may reconstruct your life.

When vacations are planned remem-

overlooked because she is so busy get
ting everybody else ready. She sews
and buys and packs. She buys railroad
tickets and telephones for the express
man. She hunts up last years sweater
and racket and counts the disable balls.
She worries about your f1rst AID Kit,
and your bad tooth. She fairly Shoves
you on the train and waves you away.
But she stays home.
Home is very good place. know
of none better. But the nature OF
people demands change Even if you
are little uncomfortable the change
will benefit you. You have worn tracks
in your brain cells. Your muscles work
in grooves. There is no interest in do
ing the same thing over and over
all year round because there is no
fresh call made on the mind and body.
A new environment demands new ad-
justments and that freshens things all
around.
The deadly routine of the home and
family is hardest on mother. 1t is she
wakens you early the day you have
an appointment with the dentist. She
prods you to prepare that important
composition. She looks over your ward
robe and gets it ready beforetime. She
eats for you, sleeps for you, lives for
you. And it gets very tireSome.
So provide a vacation for mother.
See that her wardrobe is ready, that
her tickets are bought, that her chair
is on the right side of the car-prepare
the way for her. Even if you have to
stay home yourself, do this. You see
staying home will be a real change for
you. 1t will call into play all sorts of
nerve cells, all sorts of adjustments.
1t will do you q great deal of good to
serve in your mothers stead for a time
You see mother won't tell you she
needs a vacation. She will tell you she
does not. But you and I know better.
Out she must go. Her health Is the
basis of the family's happiness. With
mother ailing or disabled things are
never right. Don't wait until she goes
to bed to take care of her. Guard her
now. See that she gets change and
rest.
Another thing. Don't imagine that
mother Is getting any vacation when
she goes to the country with the chill
dren. She isn't She is working at the
same old grind. Spinach for the baby,
cocoo for Bob. No fat in Marys diet.
A rest time for Peter whether he likes
1t or not. Story telling at bedtime, ad-
vice and commands and general super
vision are her daily stunt.
In order to give mother a vacation
she must be freed from the burden OF
the house and the family. So take it
over yourself, oldest son and Oldest
daughter, and so save your precious
mother for the years to come.

to one Of his nature.
On his knees before a crucifix he de-
clared: 1T would rather not reign at all
then to reign over men who deny their
Lord and MASTER" He meant it.
William, Prince of Orange, was a
Catholic. However, he had a strong
feeling for his country's liberties. The
proclamation of the InquiSition in the
Low Countries resulted in his offering
TO head national resistance to Philip.
In the sixteenth century only danger
confronted him who championed such q
cause. Philip Of Spain solemnly put
ban upon William as a traitor. This
legalized his death by any means and
set a price upon his head. From then
on the threat Of assassination hung
over the prince.
The Duke of Anjou brought French
army to Oranges aid. On March 10,
1882, the dukes twenty-fourth birthday
anniversary, Prince William gave a
great dinner for him.
The party was Just rising from the
table when a young man handed pc
tition to the prince, and, when he
started to read it, fired a pistol so close
to his face that its flame set his hair
and beard afire.
The ball entered under williams

passed out through the roof Of his
mouth. The shock was as though he

his assailants behalf. II forgive him

Williams command was not obeyed.
In trice, the assassin fell, pierced by
80 rapier thrusts.
Nor did the prince die. The flame Of
the pistol is said to have cauterized the
wound and checked the bleeding. He re-
covered, after heroic struggle.
His suffering was terrible, for no
bandage could be affixed to his wound.
To prevent bleeding, a succession Of at
tendants compressed the opening Of the
wound with their thumbs, day and
night until it healed.
Sleepless over a long period, the
prince smiled patiently.

and backs are of natural rattan.
The top is of composition which
makes it waterproof and sunproof, and
which keeps it always in good con-
dition.
If the furniture is to be used out of
doors it might be attractive to have the
metal chromium plated; but If it Is to
be added to the sun room it might be
more appropriate in a color such as
Chinese red, green or bright blue.

To Keep Juice in Pie.

Before putting on the top crust of a
pie moisten the edge of the lower crust
for about half an inch and sprinkle
with flour. Lay the top crust in two
small folds. Prick the edge and cut
of the surplus, then roll the double
crust in braidlike edge and press well
at each turn. The folds in the crust
allow for the expansion of the cooking
fruit, and the flour and water at the
edge paste the two crusts together so
securely that all the delicious juice is
retained in the pie.
