Every word that man utters. no mat
ter how light or seemingly insignificant
the word may be, has an influence upon
himself and upon others. Whether the
influence be good or bad depends upon
the character of the word. Man in
stinctively knows the kind OF effect that
words will have upon his affairs. The
matter of uttering only the right words
then becomes one Of discrimination and
of watchfulness. 1t is easy for negative
words to enter the mind; they come by
suggestion from without, or as the re-
suit of error of thought within. High
standards of thought and constant vigi-
lance must be called upon to keep out
those thoughts that are not conducive
to our highest good.

The new law in Italy compels every
boy to begin military training at the
age of eight and continue it in different
phases until he is thirty-three years Of
age. After that age he would be sub
ject to immediate call for military SER
vice at any time in case of armed con-
flict of his country. This latest en-
actment of Mussolini represents the
most drastic compulsory military train
