Secrets of Health
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

IT is amusing to hear people
i boast, sometimes, that they
never change their minds.
Assuming that what they say
Is true, what does it amount to?
Does it not really mean that
they have never grown up?'
If a man of 40 has not changed
his mind since he was 18, it's
plausible to believe he still
thinks like an adoleScent.
And the person who thinks
like an adolescent is one.
AS a matter of fact, the only
way to really advance is by
changing our minds continually.
The older we grow the more
we learn, and anyone who lays
claim to possessing a live mind
is bound to change his opinions
and judgments about many
things.
Now, I don't mean to imply
that you should change your
mind quickly and easily.
When you are sure Of your
ground stick to the guns by all
means but II you find yourself
wrong, II you have made q mis-
take, don't hesitate to turn
about and think and do diff
ferently.
Don't be heSitant about
changing, even IL II be the
opposite of what yOu so tena-
ciOusly clung to before.
We all want to be consistent,
but consistency can be carried
so far that it becomes blind
resistance to established fact.

A somewhat better term for
this process would be trans

adequate. Neither emergent nor
creative quite meets the case.
Hrdlicka would employ the
word biQgeny, in harmony with
the word cosmogony.
The scientists are still puz-
zled as to the original nest or
source Of organic evolution. It
was long thought to reside in
the cell. But we know now
that the cell is not simple but
highly complex.
EVOLUTION, or biogeny if
IA you prefer, must have been
at work long time in order to
produce the little world, the
microcoSmos. Of the cell. Back
OF the cell, far back in the evo-
lutionary chain, lie aggregates
OF organic molecules. They con-
stitute a sort of suborganic
kingdom. They would appear
to be the lost link in a process
uniting the inorganic and the
organic worlds.
There is one battling posi-.

question mark on the scientific
horizon. Nature seems to be
inexhaustible in it's fertility and

fact that there Is something

Many a business man has
ruined himself because he has
persisted in sticking to the
ways of doing things that he
learned in his youth and has re-
fused to adopt newer methods.
While he nursed his Stub
bornneSs and refused to change
his mind. his competitor across
the street marched along in
step with time and got all the
business.
The same holds true in other
walks of life and in our more

tionShipS.
I have known people to die
of disease because they wouldn't
call in a doctor. They had al
ways prescribed for themselves
and refused to listen to reason.
And they certainly paid the
price for not changing their
minds.
People who don't change their
minds soon become back num-
