VITAL OR BRAINY

N O F O O D S S O L DN O F A S T I N G

N O E X E R C I S E SA thin man, after being out o f w ork nearly a year

through weakness, was restored in three weeks to hard work as a carpenter at full pay. In such cases the change from a clogging, death-producing diet to energizing foods caused a literal transform ation.

Another patient, deaf in the right ear, ow ing to a discharge caused by an excess o f mucus-making foods (cream , butter, cheese, etc .) was com pletely cured o f deafness and catarrh by taking correct com binations o f suitable foods.

A case o f kidney and bladder trouble o f ten years’ standing was saved from a surgical operation, and the objectionable discharge cured within ten days, because the loss o f control was due entirely to the constant irritation from certain irritating foods and drinks.

Free: Four Booklets Which Have Taught Many People To Cure Themselves.

A university student writes from Lincoln, Neb.: e “ I have confidence in this system. It has relieved an un

sightly skin and mental inertia through the valuable suggestions and hints in you r four booklets. There is a mine of practical hints in them ; enough to convince a skeptic were he to stick to the rules faithfully and give it a trial.

“ Y ou r little books eliminated chronic catarrh from my system in about three weeks. T o p u t i t w ea kly, I was ar- t o n i s h e d . I know now that butter, eggs and rich cream caused the trouble. I thank you for your knowledge and hope to learn m ore o f your system in the future.”

Different Classes of Foods Cause Different DiseasesI have produced in m yself a t w i l l

from time to time such complaints as rheumatism, catarrh, fevers, kidney trouble, blackheads, sores, dandru ff, etc., by eating different classes o f foods to excess, proving that the waste from each class o f foods produces an entirely different dis

ease. For instance eggs, cream, butter, cheese, milk and salt are mucus-making foods which produce catarrh. Starch and eggs (paste-making f o o d s ) in w r o n g c o m b i - nations c o n g e s t and produce head-

Correct Combinations of Foods Cure Diseases

I have always cured the above-named symptoms in a few days or weeks by returning to a correctly combined diet. T he experim ents have been fascinating and the results underlie success in life.

People Write:

B r a i n y D i e tA chronic sufferer, weighing 415

pounds, unable to exercise, took correct combinations of ordinary daily foods and reduced over 150 pounds (in public life, under many wit

nesses) gained strength with firmer flesh, and lost rheumatism.

“ M y brain power and general efficiency have been about doubled this year by selecting brainy foods. I have made a fortune in real estate and the credit is honestly yours.’ ’

“ T he governm ent should investigate and teach the Brainy D iet System for the good o f the nation.”

“ T he hints in Booklet N o. I l l , on foods for curing congested liver, nourishing the brain, etc., are worth untold dollars, although the books are .free.”

N ature’s Cure for W eak Eyes

For 12 years, in a quiet way, T he Ideal Sight Re-

v storer has been quickly re- \ lieving sore, strained, smart-

' ing or burning eyes— also correcting near-sight, farsight, astigmatism and more serious eye-troubles, making its users perm anently independent o f eyeglasses.

N o drugging, no cutting, but simply a natural treatment which has proven in thousands o f cases that it is un failing in its results.

So certain are we o f its efficiency that we ask everyone toT ry It lO D a y s at O u r E x p en se

K indly read the follow ing letter, selected at random from hundreds we receive.

E. L . H all, A von Park, F la., writes:“ I purchased one o f your Ideal Sight Restorers

and com m enced to use it on receipt o f same twice daily, and after four m onths’ use dispensed with my glasses after having worn them many years. I do all my reading and w riting w ithout glasses. I am now seventy-five years o f age and shall stick by the Restorer as long as I live.”

Y ou will note that old people as well as young are permanently benefited by The Ideal Sight Restorer, and it can be used with perfect safety, as it does not com e in direct contact with the eyes.

A new, scientific, electro-therapeutic appliance, demonstrating a principle which has been fruitlessly sought after by thousands o f previous investigators.

By the use o f the T E LE L E C T R O N , concentration o f thought is attained and the cure o f disease made certain.

The T E LE LE C TR O N Treatment is especially indicated in those obscure, but none the less serious, neurotic conditions which cause w orry, restlessness and irritability, and o f diseases such as constipation, insomnia and periodic neuralgia which follow .

The M ind is Master. Each one o f the millions o f living cells in the body is connected with the brain and receives its stimulus therefrom .

The many-sided activities o f modern life tend toward neurasthenia and its inevitable reactions. The TE LE LE C TR O N restores the normal co-ordination o f the brain-cells, resulting in the reconstruction o f the normal functions o f the body cells.

The T E LE LE C TR O N perform s no miracles but com m ends itself to all intelligent people. D o you wish for abundant health and success? W rite at once for particulars and be convinced.

If I undertake your ease I w ill guarantee to stand by and with you until you are cured and perfectly satisfied with your condition in all particulars.

I adapt the course o f treatm ent to your individual needs, and write personal letters o f instruction. Although I use no drugs, yet I was educated and licensed to practice as a regular M. D.

Dr- Denton J. Snider is regarded by the European intellectual wi-rld as one of the greatest living philosophers and thinkers. In this country he is best known as the author of widely read Commentaries on Shakespeare, Dante, etc- These essays now rank as masterpieces throughout the literary world. From 1864 to 1867, Prof. Snider taught Greek, Latin. English Literature, Mathematics and History in the Chris- tian Brothers College, M. Louis. This was followed by ten years’ teaching in the St. Louis High School, during which time Prof. Snider added Mental Philosophy, Natural Science and Shakespeare to his subjects In 1S77 he discontinued teaching, and since then has given his entire tune to lecturing and the preparation of Universal Psychology. In 1894. Ober- lin College conferred a degree upon Prof- Snider, “ her greatest scholar” . Eight years later, Prof. Snider, who for some time had made his home in Chicago, returned to St. Louis at the earnest solicitation of the St. Louis Society of Psychology, an organization of several hundred members, formed for the study of Universal Psychology, Prof. Snider is the author of thirty-four volumes, which include works on Literature, Biography, Art, Music, Architecture and Philosophy. His work on Universal Psychology is a fitting culmination to a lifetime devoted to educational and research work.

Slow ly the science o f Psychology has been pushing to the front as the Universal Science. But it has been hitherto handicapped by alien methods foisted upon it. So we have had chiefly two kinds: the old Rational (so-called) Psychology, dominated by the metaphysical system o f some philosopher, and the more recent Physiological Psychology, dominated by the procedure o f Natural Science. The present system maintains a view opposite to, yet inclusive o f both these methods. Psychology is proclaimed the master o f the house, no longer the subordinate; it is to organize Philosophy and Natural Science, and not to be organized by them. It is the new Universal Science and openly asserts itself as a system in spite of today's pragm atic prejudice against all systems.

Happiness is the in- The Philosophy dividual's pleasura- of Happiness. ble reaction to any

stimulus from without.

This may not be according to Webster, but it conveys the idea.

Think a moment of the word Happiness, and of its companion word Happenings, and you will get the point. Happiness and happenings— they are related. Pleasurable reaction to the happenings of life! The happenings that give us pleasure we call good and the others we call evil.

Happenings! One of you likes potatoes and gets pleasure out of potatoes, and another dislikes them and gets displeasure out of them. And why?

We want to so make our lives as to get only happiness. How are we to do it?

Take the case ofA Mortgage and John Smith. He Happiness. has a smaH farm

with a little house on it, and he has

a wife and family. _ There is a mortgage on the place. He and his wife worked very hard to make the first payment on that little farm, and they are still having desperate times. How they have to strive to send the

children to school and to keep them in shoes! And how hard they have to work to till their little farm and the little garden! It is hard lines and they are unhappy.

But take the case of William Jones. He has a little farm and he has a wife and four children, and there is a mortgage on the house. But it is their home, and they are happy! They till their little garden, they plant their seeds, they scrape together the money to give the children new shoes vrhen needed, and they contrive to keep them at school. And they are paying up the mortgage and bye and bye the home will be theirs. And the children will be grown up and able to help, and they will all come out into the sunlight of affluence !

The house and the mortgage mean for Smith unhappiness, wdjereas for Jones they mean happiness—and only because of something within the men’s thoughts, and not because of a difference in environment.

The Intention Of Life.

Something in the man! I wonder what that something within the man is t ha t determines

whether he gets unhappiness or joy out of a house and mortgage.

*

1 2 THE NAUTILUS.

I don’t think it is character exactly— I think it is a sort of intention of the life.

“ Intention is the vital principle of every act of will,” says Weltmer. Intention of the life is the vital principle that makes the life alive and advancing, instead of dead, dying — squeezed out of existence by a mortgage and a farm and the children’s shoes and schooling.

Just the intention of life; just the difference between looking down, and looking u p ; between muckraking and raking in the muck to make potatoes grow.

And don’t you suppose that this intention is under the control of the will? “ Intention is the vital principle of every act of will.”

Don’t you suppose the intention of an individual’s life is built up out of the thousands and thousands of little daily intentions of the will?

Don’t you suppose that William Jones thinks and wills up and ahead; and that the other man thinks and wills down, down to the earth, down toward the grave; instead of upward toward the resurrection?

The right intention spells the difference between happiness and unhappiness.

Unhappiness comes because you do not react properly to the stimuli of life that come to you every day.

I think the difference between these men is that Jones says, “ The house and the mortgage are good,” while Smith says that the mortgage is had, and the house is going to rack and ruin for want of repairs that he hasn’t the money for.

Practically, he says the whole thing

is bad; whereas Jones says it is good.This is all there is to intention. One

man is working because he has to—because the children have to have shoes, and the house has to be repaired. The other man is working for the joy of the work; because he sees his ability to overcome the mortgage, repair the house, and keep the children in school; and finally to stand free from debt with his children grown. He looks ahead and sees the spiritual side, while the other man sees the material side.

The right intention T h e R ight of life comes almostin ten t. wholly from recog

nizing the goodness of life. When I

say the goodness of life I mean the goodness of every single, solitary experience of life.

When an unhappy experience comes to you say to yourself: This is good; and I am here with this vital life within me, and the intention toward Good, to turn this seeming evil to good; other things don’t matter; God is looking out for them; it is this one thing into which I put all my love, all my will, and all my energy, to turn it to the best possible results.”

I f you have a piece of work to do, do it so that no one can possibly do it any better.

Do not forget that tomorrow you will knowT more, and that doing the best you can today will enable you to do better tomorrow’.

Don’t say, “ All is good that is good now, and the rest is evil,” nor “ All is good that I like and the rest is evil!” Say to yourself, “ I am a child of God;

Be thorough about your ‘ 1 All is good ’ ’ statement or it does not polarize your intention in the right direction.

Instead of trying toTo start the get out of your pres-woria Aright. e n t environment

change your courseand try to bring all

your imagination and interest and will into it. Certainly the state ought to see that the mother and children are provided for while the children are unable to provide for themselves. The time will come when this will be done. The state will eventually wake up to the fact that it must offer prizes for well brought up babies! Otherwise the economic conditions will press so hard upon parents that they will decide deliberately for race suicide.

This is the age of the child. We are learning to conserve and develop children for the good of the nation. A little later we shall become so enthused with the possibilities of the child that we shall bestow our best conditions upon the mothers as nurses and teachers of the young.

The greatest thing you as a woman can do for this world is to subdue yourself, conserve yourself, and devote yourself to the bringing up of your children. Put all your energies into getting them started right in this world and by and by you will find them running along beautifully on their own account and helping you into the bargain. They will rise up and call you blessed and your

heart will overflow with joy and pride.There are greater and vastly more im

portant things in this world than money. Be sure you find them and glory in them and radiate them like sunshine upon your family. And through your family upon the world about you.

Is there no civic a Co-operative center in your city Mothers’ Club. or town to which

you can go for newideas, friendly in

tercourse and inspiration? If not, then start a little club of your own and invite your nearest neighbors to join. Meet once a week or once in two weeks. Elect one or two officers—just enough to run the club. Decide upon a little course of study, prepare your lessons at home, and then come together for general discussion and debate on the subject chosen. Nothing will so brighten your minds and distract and rest you from the everyday work.

If you and your friends are all mothers with children, then appoint a mother to act as nurse for all the children, while all the other mothers go to the club. Let the mothers alternate in this capacity, making a little club for the children. Let the mothers in turn devote their best energies to making the children’s club meeting just as profitable and delightful for the children as the mothers’ club is for the mothers.

T<he mothers should learn to tell sto- x’ies to the children, and each mother in her turn should exercise her story telling powers. Then when the children come together the next week let them retell last week’s stories to the mother in charge, before she tells them any new ones.

14 THE NAUTILUS.

Let them take turns in this re-telling, all the children helping to recall forgotten details. Such exercise will develop observation, memory and expression in children and mothers.

All the mothers should make a study of story telling so that each may make the best use of her opportunities with the children.

A half dozen or so mothers can easily co-operate in this way to make club day a red letter day, an inspiring day, a rest day for themselves and the children.

Let each child be properly fed before it is sent to the club, and let each mother give a solemn oath to the other mothers that she will feed nothing to the children except plain crackers and milk. Otherwise some of the mothers may be over- generous enough to provide sweets and tummy-aches to be carried over into the next night. ,

By all means stir up Pay Your Debts your friends and To Yourself. yourself and pro

vide some way to insure a day off

once every week or two. Any mother who sticks in her four walls with her children is bound to become flat, stale, and unprofitable, no company for herself, her husband, or anybody else. It is up to her to take everyday life in hand and so organize it that she will be provided with sufficient vacation and pleasant association to keep her inspired and happy in her home work.

If there aren’t half a dozen mothers who will co-operate in such a plan as I have outlined, then get one or two neighboring mothers to co-operate with you as kindergarten teachers and story tellers to the children one day each week, while

the other mothers take to the woods, or take a day off and go visiting or listen to lectures, music, or whatever diversions may offer themselves.

Every woman owes herself a day off each week, and there is no woman who cannot, if she will, use her own ingenuity and co-operate with others to provide herself with a day off from the regular routine— a day to be devoted to New Thoughts from any source -which happens to be handy.

The time was when _ h e every woman wasC o-operative sufficient unto her-in tu ition . self and her family.

When her husbandwanted a new suit

she sheared the sheep, carded the wool, dyed it, spun the cloth, cut the clothes, sewred them up by hand, pressed them with a ten pound “ goose,” and presented them to her man. When she wanted the washing done she did it. She cooked her own meals, made her own soap, raised her vegetables, pickled her own meat and smoked the hams. In addition to this she washed the babies and fed them and looked after them.

I f it were not for the co-operative intuition in human beings every family would continue to perform all the operations necessary for the care of that family. As it is we learn to help other people and let them help us. Our husbands’ clothes are now the result of the co-operation of a thousand different people. The very bread we eat is the result of the co-operation of many people. We have learned that by working together we can provide ourselves and other people with better things and more of them,

THE NAUTILUS. 15

and at the same time we can relieve ourselves of much unnecessary work.

Why not extend this same principle of co-operation to the earing for our children and the providing of ourselves with education, social intercourse, change? Why don’t I take care of my neighbor’s children today while their mother goes pleasuring; and in return allow her to take care of my children next week while I take my day off ?

It is all very simple. No money is needed to accomplish this, only a little extension of the great principle of cooperation which is making this world over into one big family, instead of continuing it along the old lines of ten thousand families each one grabbing for himself and ignoring his neighbors.

Co-operation is very simple— if you keep wanting to, trying to, and keeping at it, at the same time letting love and patience accomplish their perfect work in ourselves and our neighbors.

We have always been members one of another:“ All parts of one stupendous Whole,

Whose body Nature is, and God the Soul.”

In proportion as we recognize this we co-operate for the good of all.

There is only one The Place o f place the mother can The Mother. fill better than any

body else in the world— the place of

the mother. Let her subdue herself, conserve herself, devote herself to the work of her position.

To subdue herself is to quit looking out on other fields of work and longing to be there.

To conserve herself is to so manage all her energies that she will go to sleep every night satisfied with her day’s work, and rise every morning with a slightly increased head of vim.

To devote herself to her children is to consecrate herself to loving and examp- ling them into right habits of thought and activity.

To train children in the way they should go is a problem of the mother’s self-training.

To succeed in child training is to confer the greatest possible blessing on the world.

And the great reward is the joy of having done it.

your employer is lacking in brains it is your opportunity to develop your own brains to supplement and vitalize his? That if your employer has no heart, it is that you may have opportunity to develop your own heart by using it.

Whatever is lacking in that office affords YOU opportunity to fill it.

Rotation o f about the politicianCrops. who tried to coax

the old farmer to vote for him instead

of for the candidate who had already served two terms successfully?

The farmer preferred the other man.“ But don’t you believe in rotation of

crops?’ ’ queried the politician.“ Y-a-a-s,” drawled the farmer, his

foot up on the fence, elbow on knee, chewing a straw, meditatively, “ ya-a-s, but I hain’t a-goin’ to plant my potato patch to skunk cabbage just fer the sake of rotatin’ .”

I asked Mr. Kings- a Chicago ley the story of theEsQuimo. little < < Esquimo ’ ’ on

the front cover of this magazine, and

he replies that it is “ Julia,” a little Chicago girl whose father died of tuberculosis, and who until a week or so before his death slept with him.

Julia’s identity was lost in a group of some fifty children who appeared in one of the grades of our city schools on .a September morning. It was the teach

er’s job to shoo this little brood a certain intellectual distance by the end of the school year. She marvelled that a child as attentive as Julia, so studious and so large, should not be able to get on. One day the teacher was jarred awake when she heard a boy near Julia coarsely whisper, “ Hello, Con. Kid,” and saw Julia shrink back as though she had been wounded.

Prom that time on Julia became an individual to the teacher, with all the attributes due to a human being of about her age. She learned shortly that Julia was running a temperature of 101 or 102 every afternoon. She found the humble home from which she came and learned of the struggles of the mother who was trying to be father and mother to her four little children. She learned of the desperate struggle that preceded the death of Julia’s father; of the mother’s efforts, guided by a visiting nurse, to provide a place for Julia on a porch where she could get sunshine and fresh air. This was in a squalid part of town and the humble balcony where Julia was recuperating was in view of the street. The children thoughtlessly, but with exquisite cruelty, dubbed her “ Con Kid.” Julia begged her mother to move away and go to some other part of town where she would not be known.

In some way the news of the Open Air School floated into this humble little dwelling and Julia joined this picturesque company of Eskimos and became an Open Air Crusader, and as you see from her portrait, a healthy one.

The resourcefulness o f today is the outcome of experience with the odds o f yesterday.

THE NAUTILUS. 1 7

X ih c Œ w o I R o s e s .By KATHERINE QUINN.

“The nightingale was not yet heard for the rose had not yetblown."

There were two little roses once grew side by side,In the far famed Vale of Cashmere,

And the one little rose to her sister rose sighed:“ How I wish my lover were near!

My heart is heavy with pent-up sweetness,My petals are aching to be uncurled;

If the nightingale were here to see me,I’d bare my beauty unto the world.”

The other rose answered: “I, too, am readyTo spiU my sweetness upon the air,

But whether or not one comes to woo me,I ’ll do my best to be bright and fair.

The color and fragrance the Master gave me I ’ll don to woo him from his retreat;

If he fail to come,— then the failure be his,—I ’ll do my part, I ’ll at least be sweet.”

The other rose shook her hard little head,And thought herself very wise indeed:

“ It isn’t worth while to be fair,” she said,“ Unless there’s one who your beauty will heed,

you ’ll but waste your fragrance on empty air,O’er worthless insects your radiance shed;

I ’ll wait till I hear the nightingale near,And then I shall blossom,” she said.

The wise little rose threw her heart open wide To the ripening glance of the sun,

And rejoiced if her beauty brought joy to the breast Of even the lowliest one.

She basked in the sunshine, she welcomed the sun,Till the nightingale wooed by her scent,

Passing the home of the hard little bud,To her side unerringly went.

MORAL.Those who but wait for the ideal to come,

Await the ideal but tn vain,While those who become the ideal that they seek

Set in motion a wonderful chain,A chain that through aeons and aeons of time,

Unimpeded by water or fire,E’en from the farthermost ends of the earth

Shall draw to the heart its desire.

Spirit of Unity.B y L annie H aynes M artin.

Spirit of Unity, we look to thee! For thou alone canst solve the mystery

Of the Now and the long, long After-Now. Come thou and dwell among us and unveil thy brow

That man may look upon thy verity. Teach him to know the soul is free

When once it knows God-harmony.Irradiant, losing jwiwer thine upon conflicting creeds to shineTill very atoms, unaffined, shall be dissolved, and then combinedInto a crystal truth complete, with facets, angles, points concrete,And yet whose clear prismatic tints unite in abstract ray that glintsOne white and all-embracing glow which only Truth’s bare heart can

show.

N o . 1 .THE BODY ELECTRIC.

“ A body hast thou prepared me.” - H e b . 1 0 : 5 .

“ Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” — P s a l m s 1 6 : 1 0 . “ I sing the body electric

The armies of those I love engirth me, and I engirth them.

They will not let me off until I go with them,

And discorrupt them and change them with the charge of the soul.”

Siren Day.B y F i.orens Folsom.

Day is a Siren fresh and fair,With hair not green but gold;

Gallant and high is her dauntless air,Bright and blithe and bold; —

’Mid the camp of the sleepers she strides, and cries “ Come forth, to dare and do!

Honor and wealth— ay, every prize Wait for the will of you;

“ Arise, come forth, aspire, achieve,—To all you wish, attain;

In every Dream you love, believe;Count no Desire vain!’’

What Lorelei, bathed in moonlight cold,Sang songs so witching sweet?

Give me the Siren with locks of gold,With steel-shod, quickstep feet!


Afoot and Awheel

Open Air Schools in ChicagoBy S H E R M A N C. K IN G S L E Y .

Following the Child Welfare Exhibit in Chicago, an attempt wjis made to learn from a typical group of children which one of all the many beautiful and interesting displays had made the deepest impression upon their minds. An average school room in an average American district was chosen and the forty children, ranging from ten to twelve years of age, were asked to write down, without aid from the teacher, a description o f the particular exhibits that had interested them most. The answers ran from toys to tuberculosis and from pearl buttons to playgrounds, but the one subject mentioned by each child of both sexes was that of ventilation. Every paper gave a detailed description of the miniature glass house of two stories where contrasted the effects of pure and impure air.

This interest in ventilation, emphasized as it undoubtedly was in this particular instance by the clever device which the health department had adopted for visualizing the principle, is yet characteristic of the Chicago attitude toward fresh air. One prominent physi

cian of the city says that his small son, aged three, is in the habit of remarking frequently: “Well, Daddy, it’s time for me to go out and fresh-air myself,” and that is just what the whole town is learning to do. Many new apartment houses in the most exclusive residence sections offer outdoor sleeping porches as their great attraction and in the congested districts, the window tent or the canvas shack on the tenement roof no longer necessarily indicate tuberculosis. The demand for fresh air in the homes has come along with, and partly as a result of, the ever increasing interest in better ventilation for the public schools, and the one agency which has done more than any other to arouse parents to the necessity and possibility of securing fresh air for their children’s school buildings has been the establishment of Chicago’s open air schools.

Such schools were no new discovery when Chicago made its first fresh-air provision for tuberculosis children in the summer of 1909. Germany had conducted successful open-air schools for five years, England for four, and in this country, Providence, Boston, New York City, Pittsburg and Cambridge had all

I preceded Chicago. But the Elizabeth McCormick Schools were the first year-round open- air schools west of the Alleghenies and their central location has made them available as models to all that section of country. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Grand Rapids and Kenosha will next year conduct open-air schools based upon personal investigation of the Elizabeth McCormick school methods and from every state in the Union, inquiries have poured into the Chicago headquarters for definite information regarding equipment, cost and results.

During the summer of 1909, the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute and the board of education set up a tent in a shaded school yard and gave thirty pale and under-nourished children, all of them with a tendency to tuberculosis, a chance to grow strong on the fresh air, sunshine, nourishing food and rest. But —and this was the pity o f it—the school could be conducted in this way for one month only, and in spite of the remarkable gain made by the little pupils in this short time, it was not thought best to return them all to the ordinary closed window school room. There was no place in Chicago where such children could receive proper care and schooling.

To meet their need and to convince doubters that it was quite as possible to conduct an open-air school successfully through the winter in Chicago as it had been in the East, the trustees of the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund, through the United Charities of

Chicago, determined to open a school on the roof of the Mary Crane Day Nursery building. The United Charities had become especially interested in the case of the tuberculosis child because again and again upon the records of those who applied to the organization for help appeared names which would never have been there if, as children, the applicants could have received proper food and clothing in decent homes. It seemed truer economy to try to save the children before they became dependent than to care for them later as dependent men and women.

So presently there sprang up around the edge of the Nursery roof, a cluster of little pine trees and in the shelter of the pines there ran a row of canvas cots where every afternoon the children took their naps out in the health-giving sunshine. Germany had taken her sick children to the pine forests to school; Boston had put her little patients into classrooms on the roof; but it remained for Chicago to bring the trees to the children and give her pupils a forest school on a city roof.

•When cold weather came, another transformation took place, and the children who had been just ordinary American boys and girls stood forth small Eskimos, in grey hooded suits, with heavy boots and gloves that kept them warm, no matter how hard it snowed. During the winter nap-time, each child crept into a blanket-lined sleeping bag and the nurse tied him up into a- long brown bundle



T H E T O O T H B R U S H n u l l , I , .

like a coeoon, and then left him to sleep the sleep that brings health.

“ But do they really sleep?” asks the fond parent. “ I can’t get my children to take naps.”

Do they sleep? Not always at first. Sometimes it will take an especially nervous child two or three days to settle down quietly and drop off to sleep at once, but within a week, the exercise, the good food and the fresh air begin to tell, and all the children, from the six-year-old first-graders to the fourteen-year- olds, who proudly call themselves “ Seniors,” really sleep from an hour to an hour and a half every afternoon.

Since, in most cases, the open-air school has been an ungraded room, and has included all grades from the first to the eighth, the number is necessarily limited. Twenty- five children to one teacher is the average maintained in the Chicago schools and in most other cities where the open air work has been carried on.

In addition, the Chicago schools have a trained nurse who gives each child his cold shower-bath in the morning, takes and records temperature and pulse twice a day, assists the attending physician in his examinations and treatments and has general supervision, under the doctor, of the daily health of the pupils of the school.

A visiting nurse of the Tuberculosis Institute goes into the homes from which the children come and tries to win the co-operation of the mothers for better sleeping conditions

and diet, so that the coming home from school need not mean a return to wholly unfavorable conditions. Sometimes she does not succeed. There was Frances, for instance, who lived over “back of the yards.” No one who has ever visited the Chicago stockyards and has seen the melancholy streets of tumble- down frame cottages which surround them, can wonder that tuberculosis goes hand in hand with the wretched poverty caused by irregular employment, bad air, bad housing and ignorance of the simplest laws of hygienic living. Frances was one of thirteen children. Her father died o f tuberculosis. The nurse had never been able to induce him to take the slightest precautions. He expectorated in the sink and on the floor and forbade any one of the family to open a window. The only outside air which this family of fifteen got at night came through a broken window glass which they were too poor to replace. Frances slept with her mother, who was also tuberculous. She could not afford milk and until it was supplied her, breakfasted on bread and coffee. This was a case on which the most devoted efforts of the nurse seemingly had no effect until the death of the father removed the chief source of infection. A more cheerful story and, happily, a more typical one, was that of Frank and Joseph. Their mother, a deserted wife, made a poor living by finishing coats, at which she seldom earned as much as three dollars a week. The boys helped by pulling basting threads. When found, the

woman was in the incipient stage of tuberculosis and her eyesight was failing fast. Dispensary treatment and glasses were provided and the family were pensioned for six months so that the mother could take a rest. She obeyed instruction, responded readily to treatment and is now an arrested case and able to work a little, though the income still has to be supplemented. With school and home working together, Frank and Joseph soon began to show decided improvement in health.As for school work—well, Frank, who was eleven, jumped from the second grade to the fifth, and eight-year-old Joseph from the second to the fourth. And this without any home studying! It was simply a case of giving the brain a chance.

Visitors to the asbestos board tent, where the school went on without heat all winter long on the roof, four stories up in the air, as they felt the wind sweep through the outward swinging windows that went clear around the tent, used to shiver and look with pity at the pupils until a second glance showed them that the boys and girls were in no sense objects for sympathy. Rosy and warm in their Eskimo suits, they sat at their desks or stood at the blackboard, doing just the same work that the other children did in their heated classrooms and doing it in about half the time. At Christmas vacation, last year, all the children came to the teacher pleading that school be continued through the holiday week. So the little pine trees on the roof,

B A S K E T R Y .

sparkling with the crystals of the snow, became real Christmas trees and blossomed out with all manner of simple gifts as the children danced around them and sang:

“For we have—Cold sprays that give us

Cheeks like the rose,Temperatures that are normal,

This our record shows.Appetites so hearty,

Our weight grows and grows,We’re the Elizabeth McCormick

Cold air Eskimos,—That goes.”

In June the children and teacher went out to Camp Algonquin, the beautiful summer camp maintained by the United Charities of Chicago on the banks of the Fox River, and for a month had a real forest school, with all the “mudpies, grasshoppers and tadpoles, wild strawberries—trees to climb and brooks to wade in,” which Luther Burbank considers so essential to the education of the child.

The twenty-five children who were in regular attendance at the Elizabeth McCormick school were sent to apply for admission by school physicians, tuberculosis clinics, visiting nurses, settlement workers and many other agencies that deal with physically backward children. In this particular group, it happened that 63% had a case of positive tuberculosis in the immediate family. Since this school was intended to demonstrate what could be done along preventive lines, no cases of open

tuberculosis were admitted. The daily program included a cold shower bath, followed by a brisk rub with a Turkish towel, a hot lunch in morning and afternoon, a meat dinner at noon, an hour nap and about three hours in the open air school tent, studying and reciting. The cost of food per child per day was about seventeen cents. The cost of the individual equipment, Eskimo suit, blanket, sleeping-bag, boots, gloves, thermometer, tooth brush, paper napkins, etc., came to approximately $17.00. All this expense was borne by the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund. The board of education co-operated by furnishing teacher and school equipment.

When school opened, the average number o f pounds below weight among the pupils was 3.43. The average gain during the year was 3.6 pounds. Teeth were put in order and kept clean, adenoids were removed and temperatures went down. In school work the progress was equally marked. No child who was in regular attendance failed to make his grade, three made two grades and one made three grades. No one could take a book home at night to study. “The whole expression of the face often changes completely,” said the teacher. “Tony, who was such a bad boy before he came to me that a petition had been filed to have him transferred to the Parental School, as unmanageable, has become one of my very best boys,” and Tony’s beaming face confirmed her words.

The first year of the schools proved conclusively that open air education could be carried on successfully through a Chicago

winter. So many applications for admission had to be refused because there was no room, that the trustees o f the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund determined to continue the school for another year and in February, 1911, opened a second school on the roof of a municipal bath building which the city health department generously placed at their disposal.

Chicago has about 6,000 positively tubercular children. She has two schools largely supported by private philanthropy, which care for fifty pupils. How many boys and girls there are, anaemic, underfed and of low vitality, whose resistance might be strengthened against possible future infection, no one knows. How many normal children are trying to study in poorly ventilated rooms where the stale air stupefies their brains, nobody has ever tried to find out.

The open air school is not simply a Chicago problem. It is not confined to the great cities. It is a problem of every community that sends children to school. And it does not pay to be too sure that your home town does not need open air education. The same mail recently brought two letters to the Chicago headquarters of the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund. The first, from the secretary of the Anti-Tuberculosis League of a certain western town, inclosed a newspaper clipping which quoted the superintendent of the city schools as saying: “ There are few consumptives in--------- , and very few among the children.The time may come when we will have to consider the question of open air schools, but it has not arrived yet.” The second letter,

T H E N A U T I L U S .also from ---------, read, in the shaky handwriting of an old man: “ I found in the Public Library your book about open air schools. We have with us two grandchildren, one three and one four years old, boy and girl. They lost their mother, my son’s wife, a little over a year ago, with tuberculosis. W e also buried an older girl about four months before the mother. We have been giving these children open air treatment the past year and are anxious to learn all we can about it.”

HOW OTHER CITIES H A VE SECURED OPEN A IR SCHOOLS.

In every instance except one private school in Philadelphia, the board of education in each town has provided teacher, ordinary school equipment and supervision o f the school work. No charge has been made the pupils.

In all towns having a local anti-tuberculosis league, the nurses and physicians of the organization have contributed their services in visiting the homes, examining the children and persuading them to enter the school and obey its home regulations. In some schools an attendant physician has been paid to give a certain amount of time each day to the children and to be on call in any emergency. An attendant nurse has been furished sometimes bv the local anti-tuberculosis organization, sometimes by the board of education, and sometimes by private funds.

Different places have utilized all kinds of places for the school site. Providence, to whom belongs the honor of the first open air school in this country, knocked out the whole south side of an old brick school house and replaced it with swinging glass windows; Albany took a barn; Cambridge remodeled an unused dwelling house; New York has three schools on ferryboats; Pittsburg uses a hospital balcony; and many tents of canvas, asbestos and lumber have been erected on roofs and porches or in school yards.

But these are only temporary experiments. Of far more significance is the interest which school boards, architects and engineers are manifesting in the construction of a new type of school building which shall admit more fresh air to all the children and shall have specially designed open air rooms for the treatment of the tuberculous and anaemic. Boston has already voted that each new school building o f that city shall have such rooms. New Y o r k is making similar provision. Oak

land and New Orleans have designed frame structures with sliding windows suitable for the mild climates of California and Louisiana. In these places all cost of design and construction is borne by the city. This is as it should be. All open air school work which is supported by private funds should be considered merely as a temporary method of educating the public to the point where it will demand that the city provide all the cost of open air treatment to those who need it.

Until that time comes, various organizations are bearing that expense of extra food, clothing, equipment and attendants. All schools give at least one meal a day and most of them give three. This makes food the heaviest single item of expense. Rochester and Chicago provide Eskimo blanket suits for the pupils. Sleeping-bags, tooth brushes and other personal equipment are also usually provided. In Chicago, these expenses have been carried by the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund, a foundation in memory of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Hall McCormick. Kenosha won its school, the first in Wisconsin, as a Christmas present from the State Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis to the town selling the largest number of Red Cross Christmas stamps. In other cities, the women’s clubs and auxiliaries, the anti-tuberculosis association and the charity organizations have provided the funds.

OPEN WINDOW ROOMS.The Associated Press has spread broadcast

this year the picture and story of the open- window room in the Blake school at Washington, D. C., where the children of an ordinary fourth grade have worked at their desks with all the heat turned off and the twelve windows down from the top all winter long. The only extra expense involved in this school was the provision of blankets which the children wore pinned about their shoulders and of two hot lunches a day. The children gained on an average 3.17 pounds each; another fourth grade room in the same building gained 2.3 pounds per pupil. The average loss of attendance in the open window room was 2.40; in other rooms in the building, it was 4.79.

Chicago has had this year four open-window rooms for anaemic children. The thermometer stood at about fifty-five degrees through the winter and the children kept on the wraps

T H E N A U T I L U S .in which they came to school. They received two hot lunches a day, at ten-thirty and three- thirty, and slept in the school room from an hour to an hour and a half every day. In the two open-window rooms of the Franklin School, cots, blankets for the rest period, and extra nursing and medical attendance were supplied by the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund, while the public school extension committee o f the Chicago Woman’s Club has met the expenses at the other schools. All four report results similar to those o f the Washington school.

Experience seems to point to the necessity for careful medical supervision and extra feeding if children are to be exposed to such low temperatures. With such provision there is certainly no danger to the most delicate child. “ We like it,” said one boy, “because it keeps us from taking cold.”

finishing up their haying. The hay looked dark and over-ripe and exceedingly woody in quality. Luckily animals are less liable to indigestion than men, but the cows cannot give much milk on such tough late cut fodder.

I half expected that the dry weather would have ruined the Netop garden, or that during my long absence the woodchucks would have forced an entry and destroyed the vegetables. Instead the late rains had prepared a pleasing surprise. Th e garden was flourishing. The lettuce especially looked as green and fresh as it should have looked in June. It was small and tender but in reality about two months late.

And the corn ! Who doesn’t love growing corn in full blossom? The brown pollen rattled from the tassels at every movement, however slight, and sifted over my hands and clothes. The silk is just forming and the ears are shaping. You can almost see the later tassels unfold. If you were to listen carefully on a warm, still, moist night, you could really hear the gentle rustle of the unfolding leaves.

The two hills o f cucumbers were also doing their level best to make up for the preceding dry seasons when no cucumbers would grow. Blossoms and fruits were intermingled like oranges and blossoms on an orange tree. The cucumbers are crisp and tender, nothing like the dried up ones you buy at the market.

The radishes had shot up in the mushroom fashion that radishes have of growing, and were too old and tough to be of any use.

The only thing that was in danger of being overrun with weeds was the onions. My! but how the pusley had been growing! Leaps and jumps about describes it. Various and sundry other weeds had been doing almost as well. If you had been in my place wouldn’t you have wanted to seize a hoe and regardless of the fact that you hadn’t time to put on overalls to cover up your good clothes, wouldn’t you have gone at that pusley and rested not until it was laid low'?

Right under the gate was a neat little pik of earth and stones thrown up by a woodchuck who had attempted to force an entrance. A plank sunk beneath the gate last year for just such emergencies discouraged him. He was less persistent than his relatives who visited us last summer.

There is an old burrow three rods southwest o f the garden where many generations of

Mrs. Margaret Dreier Robbins, in her address at the National Conference of Charities and Correction, told a remarkable incident of the great strike among the garment workers in Chicago. The strike lasted for months and caused great suffering. During the course of it twelve hundred and fifty babies were born to the strikers. The Women’s Trade Union League and other sympathizers tried to supply all these little non-combatants with milk. A visitor, going into one of the homes, found a mother in bed with a new-born baby and surrounded by three other children of three, four, and five years old. There was neither food nor fuel, and it was a bitter winter’s day. On the mother’s bed were three letters from her husband’s employer, offering to raise his pay from $15 to $30 per week if he would come back, and help break the strike. He had refused, and his wife had rejoiced in the refusal. The visitor asked her how she could bear such suffering, not for herself, but for her children. With a steady, quiet look in her patient eyes, the mother answered, “It is not only bread we give the children. We live not by bread alone, we live by freedom; and I will fight for it till I die, to give it to my children.” — T h e W o m a n ’ s J o u rn a l.

“Let women have the vote. They have made a model state out of New South Wales, and the American women will solve the problems of government for you— if you will let them; they make admirable citizens, as ten years of the ballot has proven to us of New South Wales.”

That’s the way the Hon. J. S. T . McGowen, premier of that Australian state, looks upon “votes for women,” and that is the way his little mild-mannered wife views the question. She is the mother of eight children— two of them voters, and four more who soon will be.

In this department I reply to the 1,001 odds and ends of life-problems and home interests which are presented to me, answers to which are not of general enough interest to make them suitable for the regular reading pages of The Nautilus. Every reader is welcome to what advice and suggestion I can give. Welcome, all! If you are in a hurry for your answer enclose with your query a stamped, self-addressed envelope, with four cents extra in stamps and Madge will mail you a copy of my dictated answer. Do not write subscription orders or other matters on the same sheet with Family Counsel matters. Observe these requirements strictly—if you can’t obey me in these small matters how shall you obey God and be blestf E l i z a b e t h T o w n e .

E. P.— Get my Four Lessons and the books that go with them and practice faithfully and with a will. You will find Yourself and dissipate more undesirables than defective circulation, chilblains, and constipation. The hot water will help.

R. M. I.— Why not send for our N a u tilu s New Thought Education Series, and make a careful study of them? You will see the advertisement in some column of this magazine. I know of nothing better in the line of instruction for those who wish to become healers. I am glad New Thought is doing so much for you. Here’s health, happiness and success to you and yours.

C. S.— I used the Word on wind storms just as Jesus did when he woke up and said “Peace, be still.” But the Word has no power over a storm unless it is the Word of Conviction. You cannot put conviction into your Word as long as you are “nervous” or “afraid” of storms. Only through the speaking of peace to your mental and emotional storms can you gain the power to speak peace to the winds and the waves. Even then you might be able to do it at one time and not at another. All depends upon your state of Realization. Practice makes perfect.

N. O.— Haven’t you a little saved toward your daughter’s schooling, and couldn’t she go right along and begin and then get something to help her work her way through college? A great many people do that nowadays and it is quite possible that they make special provisions at that college to help along young people who are not blessed— or cursed— with much money. Whittier says : “Faith steps out on

seeming void and finds the solid rock.” Cannot you and your daughter make a beginning of things in faith believing that between you you can find the way? It seems to me you surely can if s h e is anxious to go to college. Believe and receive— that is the key to attainment. Here’s usefulness, health, happiness and prosperity to you and yours. My Good Will and Good Word are with you for the realization of all you desire.

H. M.— Don’t permit your mind to run after that strange man. It seems to me you are merely hypnotized by the little things that have gone before. Subdue yourself, conserve yourself and devote yourself to your husband and children. Pull w ith th em , not against. Let the Spirit of Love be sufficient unto you where you are. Keep away from fortune tellers and mediums and follow the Spirit of Good within yourself. What you tell me about the fortune tellers sounds extremely suspicious. It is aa absolute impossibility for such things to happen without connivance on the part of the mediums. And I know enough about the underground methods of fortune tellers to make me scout any such a story. D o n ’ t h elp them to fo o l y o u r se lf. Live the square life before the world, live love to those who are near you. Peace be unto you all, and usefulness, health, happiness and prosperity grow for you.

M. M. M.— You say this: “With reference to Dr. A. A. Lindsay’s article in April N a u tilu s entitled ‘My World: With Whom Shall I People It?’ do you not think the happiest marriage (and the only ideal marriage) would be where the parties are companions in their ‘real world’ and are not simply together in the objective world? If this is true, then I do not understand the last paragraph in the above mentioned article. Do you? This is a question of importance to me, and I wish to get the full good of the article, so I am asking you to throw more light on the question.” My dear girl, when it comes right down to the truth, a ll people are mates in the “real world.” No matter how we squabble on the objective plane we won’t on the spiritual plane. Never doubt it. The prime requisite for harmony and happiness in marriage is


unity of interests, aims and ambitions, diversity of views and opinions. And no couple can fail to disagree at times. And don't forget that your aims and ideals and ambitions are all on the objective side of life, just as well as your physical selves. There are three planes to life; physical, mental and spiritual. And there is but one spirit which is T H E Spirit, the soul of all of us. And all aims and ambitions and ideals, too, are on the mental plane. And the people who are well mated on the mental plane are apt to do the most fighting! Their aims and ideals are alike, but each approaches them by a different path, one opposite to the other, and each thinks the other’s path is altogether wrong. In marriage the one essential is to lo v e a n d tru st. The man and woman who love and trust each other, no matter what their differences of opinion, will, in the end, fin d th e m s e lv e s One. Be still and know.

G. G.— My dear girl, you are seeking in the wrong direction for the answer to your question as to whether or not you had better go back to your mother, with whom you have not been able to live since you were a young girl. Only your own spirit can answer that question. You are the only one who can possibly possess all the premises from which to render a decision. Ask yourself and be still until you receive the answer. Don’t fight the answer. “Blessed is he that doubteth not in that thing which he alloweth.” Do the thing which is R IG H T. Do the loving thing, and you will surely be happiest in the long run. Your own conscience and the needs of your mother will help you to decide the matter. Can you go and take care of her and be cheerful and helpful and happy while you are doing it? Then go. Or would you go protesting and grumbling at fate, making yourself and her unhappier than ever? T h e s a cr ifice i s zvo rth le s s tha n n o th in g u n le s s i t can be d o n e in th e s p ir it w h ic h tr a n sm u te s sa cr ifice in to w illin g s e r v ic e . If you have really been unkind to her in the past, and your conscience is troubling you, the best way to wipe it out is to go back and do your loving best until your spirit tells you you are free. As to your being an illegitimate child-— I don’t see that that has anything whatever to do with the case. Before God illegitimacy is not a crime. Why should it be a crime in your eyes? It would be a glorious thing if you and your mother could get together and prove that incompatibility of temper can be transmuted into real loving understanding and usefulness. This doesn’t mean that you are to make any vital sacrifice. If vou can’t stand it at home then stay away from home and help provide the money to have her taken care of by some suitable person. Her life is closing, while your life is before you. It is up to you to do your best for her without crinpling yourself. W illing service to others is the great means to self-development; and the self should be always developed for the best good of the world at large— beginning at home and not ending there. Ask your own spirit, be still and know.

If you hare discovered something that makes for success, or if you hare seen some one find and surmount, or remove an obstacle to success, let us hear about it.

We are publishing herein many bright thoughts from our readers, each over the name of the writer, unless a nom de plume is substituted.

Letters for this department, which must not be too long, should be plainly written on one side of the paper only, and should not be mixed up with other matter of any description.

To the writer of the most helpful success letter published (as a whole or in part) in this department of any number of the magazine, we will send THE NAUTILUS for two years, to any address, or two addresses, he may designate.

To the writer of the most helpful success letter printed in six months, we will send $5.00 in money in addition to the subscriptions. Price winners announced in number following publication of their letters. E d i t o r s .

Success L e t t e r N o . 338.

Success requires—Common sense.A not too painstaking deliberation; impul

siveness means failure, except where luck favors you.

Patience, the offspring of Faith and Confidence.Determination to give full value received;

it isn’t well to give more, for it isn't always welcome.

Depend upon your own efforts and ability, but avoid being too independent.

To live among your fellowmen, doing what is right, rather than live alone, hoping to do good.— Ishmael.

S u c ce ss L e t t e r N o . 339.

The crying need today for men and women is to practice the New Thought “creed ofsuccess.”

I myself have been a success— in telling others to be a success. I have put my whole soul into the work.

You say that is easy!Did you ever try to teach a child how to

spell “success” that did not know its alphabet?I see Pat O ’Brien digging a ditch. I say,

“Come, Pat, I want to make you prize-winner ditch digger. Do as I tell you and you will win.”

He looks at me in surprise and says: “Faith,I niver was a succiss at all, at all."

What happened? He worked honestly and

well. After the ditch was completed he looked at it lovingly and said, “What do you think of that now? Isn’t it foin?”

I said, “You have done the very best you could. You are a success.”— Mrs. Clara W agner, Columbus, O.

A P h ilo s o p h y o f E lim in a tio n .

When you think of a mean dig Cut it out;

When you want to be a pig Cut it out.

Life is sweet and fine and richDon’t then dabble in the ditch,

Cut it out.

When you want to sulk, and pout,Cut it out.

When you wish to sneer and flout,Cut it out.

If you send cruel thoughts away,They will fly back home and stay,

Cut it out.Never find fault with the cold,

Cut it out.Never envy other's gold,

Cut it out.You get all that you will take,Your poor bed you yourself make.

Cut it out.— E velyn H ubbard W atson, Greenville, 111.


I would like to tell you of my successful day. To begin with: Am forty-nine, have the use of only one eye, that badly astigmatized, rising reluctantly in the morning with two teeth aching badly, a throat very sore, and a badly swollen jaw; had idea of blood poisoning actually, imagined myself feverish with chilly sensations. After breakfast, I found work to do with brush and pails of water. I cleaned the buggy ready for a coat of paint it sadly needed. While it dried, cleaned the potatoes of their daily acquired bugs, pumped water for some stock, fed the pigs and chickens, packed a three days’ accumulation of eggs toward my winter supply, and starting


on the buggy painted away until my paint gave out. While at work, I completed a sort of New Thought hymn, which had suggested itself to me. My jaws felt better, my buggy looks fine, and this is the hymn as it came to me:See the light, the holy spirit,

Salvation is so full and free;Light of life is our salvation

See it shine through you and me;If you only believe me ’twas Jesus who said it,

As I am in this world so also are you.

God himself hath built a church,O ’er all his seas in all his lands;

Has builded a holy church A house of God not made by hands.

My body is the church, ’twas Jesus who said it,

As I am in this world, so also are you.

Motherhood the holy spirit Light of life to every one.

Every son becomes the Father,By the spirt and the son,

Father, son, and spirit, God. ’Twas Jesus who said it,

As I am in this world, so also are you.

Body earth the mind of heaven,Ruling both a king is he.

Then a nobler, grander kingdom,Kingdom of mentality.

King of all Kings. ’Twas Jesus who said it, As I am in this world so also are you. — M ary Rose Ross, Lofgren, Box 16,

Plaza, N. D.


After all what is success but “harmony?” Stop trying to move mountains. Stop struggling against odds. Stop trying to force things. Step into the roadway of least resistance and walk there, content with slow progress. Say to Divine Love: “Thy will, notmine;” then observe how beautifully the law works out for y o u r good.

This does not advocate, however, sitting down with folded hands and lazily leaving the work for others to do. On the contrary, each individual has his work to do which no one else can do for him. Your particular work is for your particular growth. “Blessed is the man who has found his work”— likewise woman. Every day brings its opportunity; do the thing at hand today and tomorrow will be given you a step farther in advance, for tomorrow is a sequence of today. We develop by slow growth, step by step.

Nothing is gained by pushing and jostling and crowding out the other fellow; nothing is accomplished in “the long run” by forcing the situation. Who was it said:

" A g a in a n d a g a in th e task is set,

O v e r a n d o v e r I s lig h t th e w ork,

K n o w in g f u l l w e ll th a t I m u st yet

R e t u r n a n d fin ish th e th in g I shirk.”

No truer word was ever spoken.It is an immutable law that the task set us

today must o n e d a y be taken up and done well. How can we garner success from a harvest of mad rushes after dollars ? Suppose, even, that we succeed in piling up a goodly number of the golden sheckles to our account, how about those unfinished “odd jobs” we scramble over or impatiently pushed aside during the years of dollar-getting? Where is the serenity without which no “success” can bring happiness?

Life is growth. By our work do we grow; by too great haste we retard progress. Every day’s work holds its lesson for development, and the poet spoke truly when she said we “must yet return and finish the thing we shirk.” What else, indeed, is meant by “working out our own salvation?” The theosophist version is that though we “pass out” of the physical body, we come back to try those unfinished tasks all over again, whether we have enjoyed financial success or not. However that may be, of this I feel certain— the task set us today must one day be accomplished. If we slight it, it must be returned to in one form or another, again and yet again, until the work is finished perfectly, in spirit as well as letter. Therefore, to me success means a symmetrical, rounded life— the joy of well-doing; just content to do the thing at hand each day cheerfully, with a thoroughness that will forever complete the task, extracting from it its particular lesson, knowing, affirm in g that the law is working out all things for good, n o w and always. And thus we walk straight to success as surely as the needle to the pole. Why, each day will b e success because each day will be lived successfully.— F lorence M ansfield, 317 Richmond Ave., Buffalo, N. Y.

THE PRIZE WINNER for August is H. Weare Holbrook, who wrote Success Letter No. 335,— and writes well enough for one of twice his years. We shall be pleased to send the prize of two subscriptions wherever the winner may direct.


A Cosy Corner Department where everybody chats and the Recording Angel puts down what she can find room for.

From a M in is te r :—

Hitherto, the note of authority in religion has been sounded along two lines: First.There is the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, which is none other than Roman Imperialism grafted on Christianity. It has held sway since the time of Constantine, but today the Papacy is weakening, as witnessed in France, Spain, Portugal and Germany. Modernism has come to stay. The Anglo Saxon element holds the key of the future.

Next, the authority of the Bible, buttressed with metaphysical creeds and ironclad dogmas, has been the resource of Protestantism, but in the twentieth century the ancient bulwarks are weakening, and everywhere the note is sounded that we are in a state of theological transition.

And yet the supreme fact remains:— there is to be religion:— more and vastly better religion in the future. And the emphasis will be just where Jesus placed it, through the channel of intuition, and its authority will be that of the spirit.

The churches of today are largely the aggregation of hostile camps:— simply so many sectarian cults that can see not farther than bungling staging which they have erected around their ecclesiastical confines.

Henceforth, the pursuit of humanity will no longer be:-— -“Authority for the Truth, but Truth for authority.” When will men and women, intent upon seeking and following “Queen Truth,” come out into the open, and realize with the Master light of all our seeing that vital religion good for time, adequate for eternity, is simply and only Christian Theism — the assurance that the Ever Living God is with us here and now, and perforce, will be with us forever and beyond.

Did you give our friend Latson a good “send off” to the Happy Hunting Grounds? According to the Spiritualists he is far from Nirvana, as the manner of his “taking-off” would make him an earth-bound spirit for a long, long while. According to the Theoso- phists he was merely working out his Karma and must pass through many incarnations. According to common sense he is simply d ead as the result of cause and effect— dead bodily, while “his soul goes marching on.” Peace to his ashes!

Old Gorgon Graham, writing to his son, said: “Shy away from all things ending inism. my boy, from skepticism to rheumatism — there's an ache and pain in every joint.”

’Tis well to investigate these isms, but why cannot men who are able to gaze into the clouds at the same time keep at least one foot upon the earth?— b o th feet on terra firma would show better balance. We should know the doctrine, but in order to know we must live the law.

Success to you and yours and the entire N a u t ilu s family. Vigorously yours— E dward B. W arman, Los Angeles, Cal.

A n o t h e r C h ild P r a y e r :—In reply to your request, I know of no more

fitting prayer for a child than this (or grownup either).

Prayer :“Dear God we thank Thee for the night,And for the pleasant morning light;For rest and food and loving care,And all that makes the world so fair.Help us to do the things we should,To be to others kind and good.In all we do in work or play.To grow more loving every day.”

In order to get to Eureka one must either come by steamer or long journey by auto through the Redwoods.

We decided on the ocean trip as it was less expensive.

It was my first trip on the ocean, and of course one hears a great deal about people losing everything but their shoes, but I said to myself here is an opportunity to test s e lf- co n tro l. So before leaving San Francisco I purchased the May N a u tilu s to read on the journey, and I must say the trip was a delightful one. I give credit both to myself and to N a u tilu s for the practical things it contains. We are living in a practical age and we must have the fruit.

We go from here to Coos Bay and hope to meet with the same results. I hope I have not made this epistle too lengthy, perhaps you may remember I met you in Portland.— Yours for Truth.— Mrs. E- S. Olney.

A New Center under the name of “The Philosophic Research Society” has been established in Eureka, Cal. This is the result of the work of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Olney, who have been healing and lecturing on New Thought in that city. Meetings are held every Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Kehoe, 1414 B. street, with Mr. Kehoe as president and Mrs. Leatherwood as secretary. Much interest is manifested and great good will follow. New Thought literature will be kept.— E d .

B y th e P e o p le an d F o r T h e m :—

Knowing that you are interested in everything that tends toward good, both in public and private affairs, I thought you might care for a sidelight on the result of the recent campaign in Mississippi. You probably have noticed reports of it in the papers, but you probably do not know that the election of


James K. Vardanian was a triumph of the plain people over the “interests.” James K. Vardaman is a man of the people and for the people first, last, and all the time, while his opponent Le Roy Percy is generally believed to be a creature of the trusts. All that money and influence could do was done to defeat Vardaman, but he was elected bv the people themselves. It was a triumph of the m an h o n e sty and p r in c ip le , over dollars and the old political ring. He was called a radical, a demagogue, a firebrand by the old conservative politicians. He is away ahead of his times and may be . and likely is mistaken in many of his views, but no cleaner man ever went to the United States Senate, and his victory is not so much a personal one, but a victory of the people who are getting to know what they want, and getting it when they go after it. Let us hope it is contagious and will spread.— L illian Brooks Ga th ir , Crichton, Ala.

I think it is safe to maintain that no one really intends to do wrong or fail of success. Many do what w e clearly see to be wrong but to them there is, in a sense, a justification for their every act. Evil or failure in their careers they attribute to external influences, while we who observe their mistakes assign all the blame to them.

It is I think also safe to admit that none of us do- the best possible even with our clear vision and careful training. In a measure we succeed and to an extent our conduct is circumspect and moral. A t any rate it is according to rule as we understand the game.

But why should there be any failures? Why any moral derelicts?

The Bible says, “We all like sheep have gone astray” and I am inclined to think the comparison is a good one. The wandering lambs do not stray because of perversity. It is not because they are possessed of evil natures that they leave the shepherd’s fold. It is because they good-naturedly and thoughtlessly follow some bell wether that has no better sense than they have.

That is just the way with the human wanderers. They not only follow the bad examples but they bleat and cry urging others to come along with them. Where one is earnestly and conscientiously seeking the truth along independent lines thousands are seeking leaders to show them the way. And the leaders they find and follow lure them with platitudes and shibboleths that have little correlation and less logical force. Something they themselves have learned from others.

When a man thinks, he is obliged to destroy his idols, lay aside his preconceived opinions, and part company with his chosen companions and he just won’t do it. It is too hard work to think and too lonesome to go it alone. He would rather be a sheep and furnish wool and mutton for others.

Even the leaders imagine they are following. No one would dare to claim or even think to himself that he was following no one. A Christ, a Buddah, a Confucius, or a Mahomet

is made in sentiment at least the inspired leader that has in turn inspired the wandering of the lesser leaders who have so hopelessly divided the flock.

Not only does each claim to show the true path but he builds a systematic machine or organization which he assumes is the true fold and each of the lesser guides provides himself with his peculiar system until their manifold folds enfold all the eager and wandering sheep.

I am not sure that the New Thought cult is an exception. I am fearful that it will prove to be another sheep pen evolved in the same sheepish way.

The deductions of mathematical science are incontrovertible. Every step is logical and the inevitable sequence of the one before it. Systems of philosophy, of morals and of economics have never been developed with the same accuracy and thoroughness.

The starting point of these systems have not been self-evident, anxious, established by incontrovertible testimony, but rather maxims' of supposed ancient wisdom, shiboleths of party union or superstitiously worshipped revelations so-called handed down through the ages and if originally genuine, subject to all the changes and mutations of human transmission. For the most part, our civilization in all its branches is not founded on first principles and logically constructed. It is built of driftwood upon a foundation largely of organized selfishness.

The great commercial interests have nothing better to explain their methods than that “Business is business.” Starting with such a premise the most logical reasoning can wander at will and as a result we all are led into a maze of selfishness, dishonesty and deceit. Moral irresponsibility characterizes everywhere our business systems. Economics is developed under political leaders whose watchword is “To the victors belong the spoils,” and whose animating sentiment is to “protect the strong against the weak” because the strong will furnish the power and the weak can not help themselves, and thus great progress will come to the strong by reason of the advantage thus offered. That is essentially the spirit of our protective tariff. It is a popular sheep pen in which has been unblushingly set up the ethics of the pig sty.

I have come to believe that our salvation, either morally or physically', either as individuals or as a nation, depends upon our attitude towards the truth as individuals. “Wisdom is the knowledge of relations” and we as individuals must think out and master the intricacies of those relations before we can act wisely either as individuals or in our collective capacity. We must make every step of our progress a logical one starting from axiomatic truths or accurately observed facts of natural phenomena.

Each person must personally investigate and accurately think out every problem that he would solve. He cannot safely absorb this wisdom from others.

He may, indeed, learn from others the rules of the game as it is played, and, like sheep, go astray from the truth. But he cannot stand

" W e A l l L i k e S h e e p ’ ’ :—


upon the sure foundation of the truth in any thing he does not investigate for himself, testing every step of his progress by the conscience of his mental approval.

The pride and the responsibility of leadership grow, as the credulity of followers increase.

I do not believe there is a republican or democrat in the United States who would stand for any sort of a tariff on the grounds of morality and justice if he fully and conscientiously investigated its moral bearings.

A minister of the gospel, one of the best and ablest I ever knew, once said to me: “Ofcourse, Mr. Bellangee, I believe that free trade is theoretically right but I always supposed that protection was better for us in this country.”

And it is this habit of supposing instead of thinking along moral questions that accounts for the moral strobismus that seems to characterize our public development. We suppose what some one else offers us must be true and we are too lazy to investigate. It is easier to suppose than to think. I have heard many able sermons by able ministers but I never heard but one and that by an humble brother here in Fairhope, that inculcated the immorality of profiting.in business without giving value received.

It takes very little clear thinking to convince a seeker after truth that there is absolutely no fair basis for business except an even exchange of values. Nor does such an exchange afford any opportunity or occasion for any tariff or monopoly of any sort. One can suppose all sorts of reasons for all sorts of humbugs if one yields himself to the persuasions of other interested parties, but if he thinks them all out for himself with an open mind and an honest heart he will not go far wrong.

One is pretty sure to work out and to live out what he thinks out and quite as sure to be more or less hypocritical in everything that he accepts from others.

The body may be nourished by food or medicine injected into the veins but it is not the way of nature which has provided throughout the entire elementary canal not only instruments to aid digestion and nutrition but sentinels to guard against the infection of poisons and harmful substances. The poisons of untruths can only be eliminated by thorough digestion by the individual mind.

I am not sufficiently informed of the principles of the New Thought cult to characterize it or criticise its influence, but of this I am assured, it will become harmful rather than helpful as soon as it does more than open the door to free independent individual thoughtfulness. No one and no system can bring to the waiting soul the glorified beauties of the landscape before us which opens with new vistas of truth with each step of our advancement.

We ourselves must enter the promised land or remain in the wilderness of uncertainty and inefficiency. We can never become efficient and responsible beings as long as we are content that others should be responsible for our thoughts. Life is enlargement by growth, not

Effulgent beams of Twentieth Century bright, Shine forth; illume indifferent, sluggish

souls;Four thousand years we’ve followed mystic

light,Nor know if Satan or if God controls.

G o d ’s w o r k s are p la in ; w e se e th em n ig h t and d a y ;

T h e f o o l m ay ru n and rarely lo se h is way.

No human science asks us stultify Our reason to believe the thing we hate;

But when we come to quaint theology,We prate, believe— and then again we prate.

To business men, talk sense; they understand More than the vassal quitting Pharaoh’s land;

They have ideals of such high import That Satan seems but an abnormal sport.

God is as holy as the starry night;And is much brighter than the mid-day sun;

But make Him cruel, which is never right, And our ideal God is then undone.

Shall we the name of God still villify?And make Him party to a fiendish crime?

I cannot, will not reason stultify To help support some mystic Hebrew sign.

The earth is ours as 'twas in Ptolmy’s time;As useful and much better understood;

The Bible— human— will have reached its prime;

Th ’ effete cut out, then what remains is good.

Knowing by experience as well as belief, that your ear and heart are open always to the needs and sufferings of the world, I am inclined to ask you if you would or could find room for the enclosed statement in N a u tilu s, which sails the sea of so many lives— a beloved craft of ladened inspirations and uplifts. Anything so vitally necessary as the Abolition of Vivisection, in hastening the day of universal love and protection to the helpless, will bring undoubtedly blessing to those who help the helpless.

Hoping you can take on this valuable list of cargo in the near future:—C ircle of Prayer for th e A bolition of V ivi

section.Those who disapprove of the practice of

Vivisection may be glad to know of a “Circle of Prayer for the Abolition of Vivisection.” Started originally in the hope of, perhaps, attracting a few enthusiasts, the Circle has spread until now it can be said to have practically encircled the globe.

Get PowerThe Supply Conies From Food.

If we get power from food why not strive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by use of skilfully selected food that exactly fits the requirements of the body.

Poor fuel makes a poor fire and a poor fire is not a good steam producer.

“From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, I suffered grievously for a long time from stomach troubles,” writes a lady from a little town in Missouri

“It seemed as if I would never be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave me heartburn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I literally became a living skeleton and in time was compelled to keep to my bed.

“A few months ago I was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that I have kept up its use ever since. I was surprised at the ease with which I digested it. It proved to be just what I needed.

“All my unpleasant symptoms, the heartburn, the inflated feeling which gave me so much pain disappeared. My weight gradually increased from 98 to 116 pounds, my figure rounded out, my strength came back, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. Grape-Nuts food did it.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A ten days’ trial will show anyone some facts about food.

S in g le T a x and. T h e n S o m e :—

I have read with much interest your articles upon the Henry George single tax proposition, which has been put into practicable demonstration by the Canadian Commonwealth of Vancouver.

I have been in the real estate business 36 years, and I find many of the large land- owners sometimes prevent a large section of country from settling up by small farmers because they are unable to pay the exorbitant prices demanded by the large land gentry.

For example we have two land owners who each own 5,000 acres of land within a few miles of this town, one of whom asks $75 per acre, and the other $100 per acre. Each has his land assessed at $40 per acre, which is about its actual value. It requires two years to break up this land and get it into a good state of cultivation, for the prairie grass sod is heavy and the first year a farmer cannot clear expenses by raising crops. The second year he can barely clear expenses. After the second year he must work hard to clear expenses and earn some profit.

We had recently thirty families who desired to buy part of one of these tracts of land, and we called upon the owner, who refused to take less than $100 per acre, which the proposed buyers were unable to pay.

Now I not only favor the Henry George single land tax, but I go still further, viz.: I favor the appointment of appraisement boards, who will fix the value of all unimproved land, and when a homesteader wants to buy any part of the land and he and the owner cannot agree upon the price, then have the board of appraisers name the price and if the would-

be buyer is willing to pay the price then the landowner is bound to accept it. No man should be permitted to own more land than what he actually needs for the support of his family, nor should he be permitted to act the dog-in-the-manger and prevent the settlement and progress of the country in which he resides.— S. A. H ackworth, Houston, Texas.

I use this old stationery to show you that I was once Principal of Lasell Seminary, at Auburndale, Mass. On page 53 of July N a u

tilus I read with interest the item about Mrs. Young and her new course of plumbing instituted in Chicago, and write to correct this statement. Lasell Seminary has done fo r

nearly tw enty v ea rs what you say Supt. Young is to do in Chicago. I think it does considerably more than Supt. Young plans to do and perhaps more than she can do in her schools. Lasell is a comparatively small private school for young women. They are glad of the very thorough scientific and practical knowledge we give them. After the course is over they can almost do practical plumbing, and surely know if it is done rightly. Lasell was the first school in the United States to teach cooking.At the beginning it was ridiculed as “no education,” “not right to put such a thing into a school for polite learning,” “an innovation to be regretted and surely to be short-lived,” “a disgrace to a school to do such work.” (The quotations are from prominent schools of the East.) Then we put in “Principles of Common Law as Applied to Women” ; next plumbing and ventilation; then dress cutting and millinery. When I see how these things are now adopted all over our land and the help they are giving young women to be masters of the things they need to know in order to be wise mistresses of homes I am glad that Lasell stood firm in the face of much persecution (see my scrap book!!) and almost martyrdom. The cooking made the great fight. The schools were “down on it” but the newspapers sympathized and really fought the battle for us. I made no replies or arguments— just went ahead along the lines of my c o n v ic tio n s .— C. C. Bragdon, Pasadena, Cal.

I had traveled 70 miles by rail to the city of Portland to attend a noted play. On arrival I barely had time to change my waist, putting on white lawn; comb my hair, which was at least soft and all my own. After a bit of

At the ParsonageCoffee Runs Riot No Longer.

"Wife and I had a serious time of it while we were coffee drinkers.

“She had gastritis, headaches, belching and would have periods of sickness, while I secured a daily headache that became chronic.

“We naturally sought relief by drugs without avail, for it is now plain enough that no drug will cure the diseases another drug (coffee) sets up, oarticularly, so long as the drug which causes the trouble is continued.

“Finally we thought we would try leaving off coffee and using Postum. I noticed that mv headaches disappeared like magic and my old ‘trembly* nervousness left. One day wife said, ‘Do you know my gastritis has gone?”

“One can hardly realize what Postum has done for us.

“Then we began to talk to others. Wife's father and mother were both coffee drinkers and sufferers. Their headaches left entirely a short time after they changed from coffee to Postum.

“I began to enquire among my parishioners and found to my astonishment that numbers of them use Postum in place of coffee. Many of the ministers who have visited our parsonage have become enthusiastic champions of Postum.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

supper, I drew on a pair of white silk gloves, which hid my rough hands, hands that had done all kinds of rough hard work for the past thirty years, and hastily went to the theatre. I found my seat, which had been secured by a friend’s friend, to be prominently situated in an upper box near the stage. The usher conducted me to the box, where several persons were already seated. As I took a chair I noticed the other occupants of the box, one in particular, a young girl perhaps nineteen years of age; such a girl it would be a pleasure to dream of, with a dainty air, beautiful little white hands, such delicately tinted cheeks, bright eyes and soft lovely clothes, verily a creation of pink and white.

— “Continence and Sexual Hygiene,” by Pramatha Nath Dey, Hindu Student at Ohio State University. This book is interesting and should be of much service to humanity.

— “Woman and Labor,” by Olive Schreiner. While very young, Miss Schreiner began work upon a book about Woman. She toiled at the manuscript for eleven years. Then, in 1889, came the Boer war. She was away from her home in the Transvaal when the war broke out and was not allowed to return. Her home was occupied by the British and all her papers and manuscripts burned. The present volume is a reconstruction from memory of one section or chapter of the book which was destroyed. “Woman and Labor” is a sober, powerful plea for the right of woman to labor in every field upon equal terms with man. In this right the author sees a great advance towards woman’s emancipation from the burdens of her sex. 288 pages, cloth binding. Price not given. Frederick A. Stokes Co., New York.

— “The Miracle of Right Thought,” by Orison Swett Marden, editor of S u c c e s s Magazine. Probably no New Thought books receive so wide a reading as those of Dr. Marden. His works are translated into many foreign languages. In Japan they are used as text books in the public schools because of their inspiring, helpful power. “The Miracle of Right Thought” teaches that whatever the soul is taught to expect, that it will build. It shows how prosperity and success are kept at a distance by one’s mental attitude, and how to make the mental attitude attractive to the things one desires. The chapters on “Selfencouragement by Self-suggestion,” “Change the Thought, Change the Man,” “The Power of Suggestion,” etc., etc., show the practical trend of the book. It teaches the power of harmony, of constructive thought and action. 339 pages, silk cloth binding. Price $1.10. Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., New York.

— “How to Keep Well and Live Long,” byT . B. Terry. Ten years ago the author was condemned by his physician to a life of invalidism. He was suffering from serious kidney trouble, liver trouble, rheumatism and numerous other diseases. “Today,” he says, “my kidneys and liver are as good as any man could ask for. Every organ is in ideal order. I have the strong, vigorous, quick pulse of a young man. In fact I am sound and well in every way.” The book tells in the most direct way how the author regained his health without the assistance of physicians or drugs, by natural living, eating, sleeping and thinking. Every word in the book has a practical bearing upon the subject. You who are ailing and want better health and are willing to take a little pains to get it will find in this book a real way to health. 222 pages, cloth bound. Price $1.00. Published by The Farmer Co., Philadelphia, Pa.— W. E. T .

— “Atlantis Restored or Links and Cycles,” by J. Ben Leslie. It is claimed by the author that this book was inspired by disembodied spirits. Whether we regard the work in this light, or as the result of an exceedingly vivid and fertile imagination, we can, at least, all unite in commending the great perseverance of the author— 807 large printed pages. The name explains the scope of the book. It claims to give a true history of the “submerged continent, Atlantis, its people, art, architecture, customs, music, alphabet, figures, etc., etc. Incidentally the author details the origin and history of many prehistoric relics, images, mounds, etc., etc., in all parts of the now known world, besides explaining those ancient convulsions of nature by which Atlantis was submerged and the coast line of existing islands and continents established. The book will prove interesting to those who believe in spirits and spirit communion. To others it will hardly appeal to any great extent. The book is nicely produced, on antique paper, from clear type. Price, $4.00. The Austin Pub. Co., 10 Arlington street, Rochester, N. Y.— W. E. T.

under his great sombrero. Grant heard my suggestion for the new novel; approved, suggested ; by his interest put the cachet of finality on the scheme.

But it was not till after months of the closest study of electrical phenomena—electrical ordinance, etc.; aviation; hydroplanes, and so on, that the flesh was given to this idea-spirit.

T h e r e are New Thought books galore. We have just heard of a Chicago booksellerwho has recently ac

quired the rights to over a hundred New Thought publications. All the book publishers in the country are putting forth new ones every month. The Elizabeth Towne Company doesn’t publish a great number of books but it aims always to get hold of the three or four B E S T things of each year. We have in press now what I consider the most notable New Thought book that has appeared in five years. It is the result of tne ripened conclusions of William Walker Atkinson, one of the greatest students and most prolific writers the New Thought has had.

His new hook is called “The Mastery ol Being,” and it lives up to its name. It seems to me that no student can give this book the careful and repeated reading that it warrants without coming on to a higher plane of realization and mastery than he has ever glimpsed before.

It is a book that will grow upon those who read it— it will itch in the ears of those who will not listen to its voice at first— it will tag and torment them until they will be compelled to re-read and study it. Then once adopted it will be held as gospel and referred to as authority.

If you want to know how to think; if you want to know when you are thinking correctly; if you want a spiritual rule by which to rectify every philosophy and every metaphysical statement which is presented to you, then TH TS IS Y O U R BOOK. William and I are so delighted with it that we have taken to reading the proof as if it were the Bible!— reading- it over and over.

By the way those who are looking for New Thought fancy or fiction need not apply. Those who are willing to T H IN K are the ones who will buy this book, live with it for months at a time, and recommend it to their friends.

There are 200 pages in “The Mastery of Being,” and it is well printed and bound, with a nortrait of the author. But we shall sell it for only $1.00 postpaid.

My eyes dropped to very ordinary skirt and plain shoes. “Why am I here?” I bitterly thought. Much as I had congratulated myself on being able to see the famous play, I felt distinctly out of place. But the beautiful girl leaned toward me and with a smile whispered, “Draw your chair as near mine as possible and toward the front, so you will have a better view of the stage.” It wasn’t much but it changed all. I became one with the whole and enjoyed the play, the dainty girl and the world in general. I returned home next morning and with me I carried not only the memory of the play but the vision of the sweet girl. I know not who she was but since then I have been glad to think that there are those who, though cared for and raised in luxury, have kind sympathetic hearts — M rs. L ouis Scholl, Echo, Ore.

F a it h a n d R e a s o n :— .

“Faith without works is dead.” Paul meant by that expression that faith cannot exist without being expressed in actions as well as love or other quality of our spirit.

We might say that works without reason is dead, and surely faith without reason is not only dead but buried beneath superstition and ignorance.

There is no injury to the mind of a child so great as that which demands faith in the impossible or unreasonable.

The teaching that the atmosphere is filled with evil spirits and good spirits or devils and angels which manifest themselves through spirit mediums and so-called clairvoyants has not only robbed one-half of the Christian world of their self-confidence and consequent happiness, but made food for human vultures to prey upon for their money.

Reason dictates that there exists an unseen intelligence which is incomprehensible, but all should be held in the bounds of reason. It is not right to teach or believe in anything not in accord with the one steady and unchangeable law of the universe.

The mind to be and remain in a normal, healthy condition must assume an attitude of confidence and love for the universe as one just and unchanging intelligence, and that all is in harmony except as mankind causes it otherwise.

To lay aside reason to enable us to enjoy an imaginary hope has a tendency toward insanity and many attain to that condition. Because we read of miracles in the Bible we must not think that all law of nature is liable to change and leave us unconscious of our true relation to the universe. With a perception of truth aS given us by Jesus Christ, all fear and bewilderment in regard to our confidence in the infinite ceases. We can build a blind faith which may give us hope for the future. Reason with Christ’s truth will give us now all the joys which the future promises through faith, and the truth will ever remain.

tial to every man and woman in America. It consists of 124 pages of n ew m aps, beautifully c o lo r e d , of every part of the earth as it is today. It shows the lately discovered islands of North America, the new towns and cities that have sprung up in the Western states, giving two and four-page maps when necessary. It gives the Peary route to the North Pole, the portraits of all the presidents of the United States, with short biographies, etc. Railroads are shown and named, and with very few exceptions in crowded or densely populated sections every railroad station and post office is located and named. On the margin of each map is an alphabetically arranged index of counties (or other minor divisions), cities and towns. A division or place may be instantly located without turning the page. The convenience of such a quick index will be readily appreciated. Another valuable and most up-to-date feature of this work is a very complete list of the cities of the world, giving the latest population statistics. This list shows the great growth of American and foreign cities.

The “Modern Atlas” is a large volume 10l/2 by 1ZXA inches printed on high finish paper and durably bound in red cloth with attractive cover stampings. If you sent to New York City for it you would pay $3.00 and 35 cents extra for shipping and expressage.

We will mail it to you free and carriage paid if you will render us the kind service of securing three new subscribers to T h e Nautilu s at $1.00 each. Send us three new subscriptions to N a u t ilu s with $3.00 in cash and 35 cents extra for shipping and expressage, and the Modern Atlas is yours.

Remember that this new Modern Atlas is thoroughly up-to-date and that it contains the results of the 1910 census returns which have just been given out from Washington. It constitutes the most satisfactory atlas for every business and professional man, every intelligent woman, every student and young person who wants to talk with authority of the modern growth of the world. It m u st find a place in every home where there are school boys and girls.

T HIS book gives what has long been needed— the fundamental principles upon which the New Thought

' philosophy is based. But it does not content itself with merely stating the general basic principles by which the Intellect arrives at the Perception of Truth— it also

\ proceeds to the awakening of the Intuition, whereby one arrives at Illumination or Realization of Truth; and concludes with the conscious manifestation and demonstration of Truth, which constitutes the Mastery of Being.

It begins by awakening of the intellect to the undisputed and impregnable logical principles by which we arrive at the perception and recognition of Reality, or that Something which is back of all the shifting forms of phenomenal life. It shows us what this Something must be, according to the invariable report of Reason. It brushes aside erroneous conceptions, and turns the bright light of the Intellect upon the fundamental principles of Being. It gives us a firm, stable, solid basis of Reason, upon which we may confidently stand and defy intellectual attack. It gives us the “why and wherefore” of our philosophy, and arms us with the sword of Intellect and the shield of Reason, whereby we may defend the faith that is in us. This part of the book is a liberal education in the deepest philosophy of the race— its

P le a s e m e n t io n N a u t i l u s w h e n answering

plummet descends into the veriest depths of human thought.

From this, it proceeds to identify Universal Reality with Spirit, showing Spirit to be AU-Sub- stance, All-Energy, All-Life, All- Law, and All-Mind. The All- Mind is shown to be the creative cause of the universe, and a wonderful light is thrown upon the nature of its activities. We are given a clear philosophical and scientific presentation of the principle of “All is Mind.” At the same time the All-Mind is shown to be the most substantial thing in the universe, the most powerful thing, the most lawful thing, the livest thing. It shows that Mind is the most real and substantial thing in existence and makes clear the

relation of Matter thereto. It explains the creation of nature, and the nature of creation, in a wonderful manner backed by the reports of modern science.

But, it does not leave us in the fog of vague and general theory. It shows our relation to Universal Spirit, how we are its manifestations, and how it is immanent in us. Nay, more, it shows us, in indisputable logic, that which the advanced souls of the race have perceived intuitively and by illumination— the fact that Y O U are identical with spirit— not only that Spirit is

in you, but that You A R E S P IR IT. It shows that the Totality of Being is back of the manifestation of Y O U , and how you may draw upon its powers as a matter of right and being. All this, and more, is shown not by mere general assertion but by actual, logical proof which cannot be disputed by reason. It asks you to take nothing on faith, but submits everything to the test of logical reasoning.

This book is destined to create a sensation in the world of philosophy. It gives to the New Thought that which has long been needed— a logical, philosophical statement of basic principles with “the why and wherefore” clearly explained in simple terms. It provides the intellectual explanation of that which has been intuitively perceived by the eye of faith— it adds the approval of the head to the voice of the heart. It is like a fnighy searchlight Suddenly illumining the hidden corners and the dark places of the Path of Attainment. Its appearance is that of a gladiator of New Thought, boldly stepping into the arena, throwing down the glove to the older systems of thought, and bidding them enter the lists of intellectual combat. It is the book for which you have been long waiting and which you have needed so manv times when the reason cried “Why?”

“Faith is the evidence of things not seen,” does not mean that we should take evidence without reason. Jesus Christ or Paul did not expect us to as shown by their parables, and long appeals to show to our minds the truth which they expected our reason to analyze.

Jesus said He would leave with us the spirit of truth which would finally lead us into all truth. How could we be led into the truth except by reason. The imaginary, unfathomable mysteries of the infinite plan of our salvation is humbug.— W. H. PenEiEld, Gotebo, Okla.

T o P a s s A l o n g :—Here is a little verse by Alonzo Rice that

The plot is changed, and there is none to tell,

But you may hear the watch man now repeat, ‘The night is nearly past, and all is well.’ *

— M rs. W. J. L inwood, Alliance, Ohio.

A b o u t th e N e w T h o u g h t F ederatio n s:—

There are more hopeful indications in the present outlook for the Cause of the National New Thought Alliance.

In New York City, through the efforts of our president, with the ready co-operation of seven local organizations— each of which represents individual work,— - an alliance has been formed for the sake of greater strength and efficiency in promoting the principles of the New Thought. They unite in holding Sunday services at the Astor House in College Hall, with a different speaker at each session, with a full house and deep interest. This is a strong move in the right direction.

Chicago has undertaken, and is successfully carrying out a similar union effort— holding Sunday meetings in Masonic Temple, and also holding weekly meetings and a noon meeting daily. They issue a Monthly Bulletin, giving announcements and general information concerning the work.

In Washington the various centers are also uniting in public work, in a similar way.

In Boston, the Metaphysical Club is putting forth an effort to fraternize all New England Centers. Last week they effected the organization of a Metaphysical Club in Worcester, under the leadership of Rev. R. J. Floody,D. D. They hold Sunday meetings in the Board of Trade Hall, with speakers from Boston and elsewhere, and great interest is manifest. The writer spoke there last Sunday.

With the sustaining co-operation of all friends of the N. N. T . A., we are encouraged to continue our efforts in well doing, foreseeing a greater success in the larger federation of all organizations and centers throughout the country.— R. C. D ouglass, Secretary, 687 Boyl- ston street, Boston March 4, 1911.

D r e a m in g P o e t r y :—I have heard that it brings good luck if

someone sends you a Billiken. Whether this be true or not everything I have sent off lately has come back in the form of a check, which is a very nice way to have things come back. Sort of bread cast upon the water coming back as pie and cake as it were. The story which brought the biggest check was one of which 1 dreamed the plot. Did you ever work out anything in your sleep? I had gone to bed turning the story over in my mind and had about decided how I would write it, but that night I dreamed an entirely different way of writing it and next morning I worked it out that way. I have slept on one or two plots since but nothing has come of it.

I have a friend who writes poetry and has success in marketing her wares. She sometimes dreams poetry, but when she wakes up and remembers any of it the lines are perfect as regards rhyme and rhythm, but arrant nonsense as regards meaning. Some time since she dreamed that she was writing a perfectly lovely “pome.” It seemed to her that if she could only get that before the public she would be famous. When she woke up, this is what she remembered:" R o l l th e e c h o e s , th u n d e r o u s echoes, back from

of Lewis Carroll wasn’t somewhere around playing pranks on my friend. That “friddly frone” sounds considerably like “ ’Twas blither, and the slithy toves.” But “ flow ers of pareg o r ic ,” rather stumps anything even Carroll ever conceived!— D o r a E. N e l s o n , Greenfield, Mass.

The World Is Full of Books. The Bible Says: In The Making of Many Books There Is No End. And Much Study Is A Weariness To The Flesh.

. When books are written in such a way that they are different from all others and appeal to the higher sensibilities of the soul and intellect they are valuable as teachers and aids in every department of human life. A number of such books have recently been published at the Temple of Health, Twelfth and Washington streets, Kansas City, Mo.

A book entitled HOME STUDY IN VITAL SCIENCE, is written by Dr. C. H. Carson, founder of the Temple of Health, and College of Psychic Sarcology, a philanthropic and educational institution incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri, to teach the philosophy of psychic phenomena in all its varied departments. One of the departments of this College or School will be the issuing of books that deal in the higher realms of the occult, at the same time discussing all the practical questions of human life.

HOME STUDY IN VITAL SCIENCE in a concise and simple manner explains the laws of life and health as taught at the Temple of Health where more than 125,000 people have been successfully treated without drugs or medicine during the past thirty years. Price by mail, postpaid, $1.50.

A book dealing with the occult, entitled T HKOUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW AND BEYOND, is a strange but deeply interesting volume containing many lessons of rare beauty and wonderful intellectual power. This book purports to have been written by those who inhabit the ethereal world, through a marvelously gifted automatic writer who places in material form the thoughts and language so grandly expressed by many divinely gifted inhabitants of the celestial world. This book is beautifully illustrated with a dozen or more portraits of the writers, the originals of which were made without human hands or any of the materials usually employed in producing works of art.

Price by mail, postpaid, $2.00.Another book equally absorbing and interesting is purported to have been written by one

who has but recently entered into existence in the celestial world. The book is entitled TWO YEARS IN HEAVEN, by Rose the Sunlight. This is the most remarkable story ever penned by any being who has visited the material world from the celestial realms. It describes the lives and customs of the people of all the heavenly spheres, continuing on to the spheres of the infinite. The kook may be read and re-read, and still will contain words of wisdom that cannot be fathomed and understood without long and continued study and development. It settles forever the question of life and its progress, and its reality in the world beyond the material. Everyone should read this book.

Price by mail, postpaid, $1.50.All inquiries should be addressed to Dr. C. H. Carson, Temple of Health, Dept “J,”

Twelfth and Washington streets, Kansas City, Mo.Illustrated magazine free.

That the eyes can be strengthened so that eyeglasses can be dispensed with in many cases has been proven beyond a doubt by the testimony o f hundreds o f people who publicly claim that their eyesight has been restored by

84 THE NAUTILUS.

Y o u r C ir c u m s ta n c e s JffiThis is a plain talk about you and your affairs and about investments in New

York Surburban Real Estate. As a means of making it practical for you to let me talk as frankly, freely and earnestly as I would were you my closest personal friend who had dropped into my office to ask advice about some vital matter in which we were mutually concerned. Money-making and investing is for you a vital matter; and the lers you have to invest the more important it is that it be invested wisely. It is commonly believed that a large amount of cash is required before one can make profitable investments in New York suburban real estate; but such is not the case. On our new plan a good beginning can be made even though you have but a dollar weekly to invest. Perhaps you now spend that amount foolishly or waste it absolutely. At any rate you should be able to save and thus invest it if you set out to do so. Just now is the time to begin if you wish to be sure of the best profits. It will be expensive if you wait until you have accumulated more cash, because prices will soon he greatly increased.

The rapid increase of values that must come in certain favored localities in and around Peekskill, N. Y., is not speculative, or dependent upon luck or chance. It is dependent upon the most tangible of facts, solid reasons and common sense. If yon want to speculate or gamble then go to the Stock Exchange or gambling den and take your consequent losses without whimpering. Buy wildcat stocks or worthless mining shares if you want to hope against hope, or pin your faith to a remote possibility. If you want a CERTAINTY of good, big profits, and without risks, then invest in that tangible asset called real estate, and in a locality, such as Peeksville, where improvements in transportation facilities will bring a larger influx of New Yorkers, thus increasing the demand and decreasing the supply. When you get title to good real estate, fire flood, earthquake or cyclone will not destroy it, nor thieves steal it and run away. It has intrinsic and producing value, also selling value, which naturally increases rapidly if it lies near a great and growing center of population like New York where the congestion forces people to go out wherever transit improvements open up new territory. It is a matter of supply and demand. Population creates the demand, and transportation the availability. Follow this law if you would reap the greatest and surest rewards. Buy where the demand will increase and the supply decrease, where the largest number of people will be likely to want it. Buy where the demand is steady, extensive, far-reaching and increasing and the values not dependent upon fluctuating, local or ephemeral conditions. Growth in population and growth in real estate values go hand in hand. Even school boys should understand that. Striking proof of it is available in every city or town; but in and around New York the conditions are so remarkable that the proofs are perhaps more conspicuous than in any other place on earth.

Now put on your thinking cap, and get busy with your pen. Figure out what this might mean to you. Wake up your imagination and set it at work. Hold to your common sense. Get at the fundamental laws which enable thousands to make fortunes by judicious real estate investments in and around New York. Figure out what you can spare weekly, monthly or in a lump sum. I f you want me to choose lots for you send $1 per lot as first weekly payment, and say how many you want. You will thus get the benefit of my best and only price and of my knowledge as to which lots are best. I f you want to wait and get detailed information then send at once if you want the best lots and corresponding profits. Send to

W E I N V I T EEVERY THIN MAN AND WOMAN

HERET O G E T F A T A T O U R E XPE N SE

This is an invitation that no thin man or woman can afford to ignore. W e ’ ll tell you why. W e are going to give you a wonderful d iscovery that helps digest the foods you eat— that puts good, solid flesh on people that are thin and underweight, no matter what the cause may be—that puts the red corpuscles in the b lood which every thin man or woman so sadly needs. H ow can we do this! We will tell you. Science has discovered a remarkable concentrated treatment which increases cell growth, the very substance o f which our bodies are made—a treatment that makes indigestion, and other stomach troubles disappear as i f by magic and makes an old dyspeptic or a sufferer from weak nerves or lack o f vitality feel like a two-year-old. This new treatment, which has proved a boon to every thin person, is called Sargol. Don’ t forget the name,— “ S A R G O L.”Nothing like it has ever been produced before. It is a revelation to women who have never been able to appear stylish in anything they wore because o f their thinness. It is a godsend to every man who is under weight or lacking in nerve force or energy. I f you want a beautiful and well-rounded figure o f symmetrical proportions, of which you can feel justly proud— if you want a body full of throbbing life and energy, write The Sargol Company, 45 J, Herald B ldg., Bingham ton, N. Y ., today and we will send you absolutely free, a 50c box o f Sargol that will prove all we claim. Take one with every meal, and in five minutes after you take the first concentrated tablet o f this precious product it will com mence to unfold its virtues and it has by actual demonstration often increased the weight at the rate o f one pound a day. But you say you want p roo f! W ell, here you are. Here is the statement o f those who have tried —who have been convinced— and who will swear to the virtues o f this m arvelous preparation:

REV. GEORGE W . D A V IS says:“ I have made a faithful trial o f the Sargol treat

ment and must say it has brought to me new life and vigor. I have, gained twenty pounds and now weigh 170 pounds, and what is better, 1 have gained the days o f my boyhood. It has been the turning point o f my life. M y health is now fine. I don’t have to take any m edicine at all and never want to again.”

MRS. A. I. R O D EN H EISER w rite»:“ I have gained immensely since 1 took Sargol, for

I only weighed about 106 pounds when I began using it and now I weigh 130 pounds, so really this makes twenty-four pounds. I feel stronger and am looking better than ever before, and now I carry rosy cheeks, which is something I could never say before.

“ My old friends who have been used to seeing me with a thin, long face, say that I am looking better than they have ever seen me before, and father and mother are so pleased to think I have got to look so well and weigh so heavy ‘ for me.* *’

CLAY JOHNSON says:“ Please send me another ten-day treatment. I am

well pleased with Sargol. It has been the light o f my life. I am getting back to my proper weight

again. W hen I began to take Sargol I only weighed 138 pounds, and now, four weeks later, I am weighing 153 pounds and feeling fine. I don’t have that stupid feeling every morning that I used to have. I feel good all the time. I want to put on about five pounds o f flesh and that will be all I want.”

F. GAGNON writes:“ Here is my report since taking the Sargol treat

ment. I am a man 67 years o f age, and was all run down to the very bottom. I had to quit work, as I was so weak. Now, thanks to Sargol, I look like a new man. I gained 22 pounds with 23 days’ treatment. I cannot tell you how happy I feel. A ll my clothes are getting too tight. My face has a good color, and I never was so happy in my life .”

MRS. VERN IE ROUSE says:“ Sargol is certainly the grandest treatment I ever

used. It has helped me greatly. I could hardly eat anything and was not able to sit up three days out o f a week with head and stomach trouble. I took only two boxes o f Sargol and can eat anything and it don’t hurt me, and I have no more headache. My weight was 120 pounds and now I weigh 140 and feel better than I have for five years. I am now as fleshy as I want to be and shall certainly recommend Sargol, for it does just exactly what you say it will do.”

You may know some o f these people or know somebody who knows them. W e will send you their full address if you wish, so that you can find out about Sarj?ol and the wonders it has wrought.

From v e r y ancient times many writers have attached an unusual significance to the Solar Plexus and its functions. The H indus o f India claim that the soul fun ctions through this great nerve center.

Be that as it may, this odd little book teaches that the Solar Plexus is a center or storehouse o f life , power, o r energy. That when this center is aroused to activity through deep breathing and other exercises, it radiates nerve energy to the whole body. The book contains "breathing exercises o f great practical value.

This booklet will help one to outgrow fear, anger, hate, •worry and show how to develop concentration.

W here my advice is properly followed there need be few failures. I know this to be true, as I have come in contact with 2,500 cases in the past six years. I am a graduate o f one o f the largest medical schools in the United States, have pursued post-graduate studies abroad, and after practicing fifteen years I specialized in Psychotherapy (Mental Medicine) after being fully convinced that it was the only means o f cure for those types o f chronic, mental and nervous disorders so baffling to the orthodox practitioner.

I am qualified as n o ordinary healer o r p hysician is and I am pleased to get cases on w h ich others h ave failed.

HAMMOND’S MODERN ATLAS of the WORLD!During the last few year« numberless changes, which render an old atlas useless, have been wrought. New

towns have sprung up; old cities and towns have grow n; thousands o f miles o f new railroads have been built; history has changed the boundaries o f countries, and these, with numberless other changes, are recorded in this new work. It is down-to-date in every particular.

This new atlas contains 128 pages o f M A P S , beautifully printed in colors, representing every portion o f the earth as it is T O D A Y . These plates have been engraved from new drawings, based on the latest surveys, and the publishers believe them to be the most complete and carefully edited series o f like size covering the whole earth. The lettering is clear and clean cut throughout, carefully graded in size to convey at a glance relative importance of places. Railroads are shown and named, and with very few exceptions, in crowded or densely populated sections, every railroad station and post office is located and named.

On the margin o f each map is an A L P H A B E T IC A L L Y A R R A N G E D IN D E X OF C O U N T IE S (or other minor divisions), C IT IE S A N D T O W N S . A division or place may be instantly located without turning the page. The convenience o f such a quick reference index will be readily appreciated. # .

“ Everything now seems to be reduced to a science. But few’ ‘reductions’ present ns much commonsense as this latest effort o f W allace D. W atties. Mr. W atties has told us in n previous hook just how to get rich. Now he gives us the secret of perfect health, and he proves It is largely a m atter of right thinking. The language is simple, the intent is clear and the logic is reasonable.”— Boyfon Courier.

Ep-Nayer is an eye ointment borrowed from the Turks— a nation world-famed for their strong, handsome eyes.

Ep-Nayer is a perfect eye tonic and nourishment containing eight ingredients— one o f which costs $224 per pound. It is wonderfully restful and soothing to strained, tired eyes, muscles and membranes. Ep-Nayer offers a wonderful relief from eye troubles, strengthening, nourishing and upbuilding the weak and afflicted organism, and it promotes the growth o f the lashes.

It is not like ineffective liquids that the tears wash out o f the eye as fast as put in. It is applied in a natural, scientific way by being gently massaged into the lids and about the eye, so that it becomes thoroughly absorbed into the muscles and membranes, getting the most direct and beneficial contact possible.

Ep-Nayer is absolutely free from any harmful drug. It is equally good for men, women and children.

Put up in sanitary, collapsible tubes. 50 cents at all druggists or sent by mail to any address. E P-N A Y ER CO., 183 Madison Street, Chicago.

H undreds o f intelligent, cultured people are asking:Just w hat is the New Thought?W here and how did it originate?H ow does it help one?Y ou r friends have probably asked you this question many

times.W illia m W a lk e r A tkinson has just written a book—

“ T H E M E S S A G E O F T H E N E W T H O U G H T ” — which answers all these questions. A nsw ers them authoritatively and without any beating about the bush.

T he book shows that New Thought had its origin away back in some o f the wisest minds o f the race.

That it is closely related to that strange revival o f T ranscendentalism , lead by Em erson, which took place in A m erica about 1800 to 1825.

That the M ental H ealing feature, or the psychology o f the New Thought, grew side by side with this Transcendentalism.

That the two streams finally converged into one com m on channel, and united in one mighty spiritual m ovem ent, now know n as the New Thought, and which includes Christian Science, the Emmanuel M ovem ent and all similar systems o f healing.

W h e n se n d in g us th e m a n u s c r ip t o f th is b o o k M r . A tk in s o n w ro te : “ I consider this one of the best things that I have ever w ritten along the lines o f New T hought, and those to whom I have read it agree w ith me— and som e of them are m y severest critics, too.”

Elizabeth Tow ne says: “ W illiam W a lk e r A tkinson has ju st w ritten a new hook that willcertainly become T H E authority on the history' and principles of New Thought. I predict that none of Mr. A tkin son ’s w orks w ill do m ore to m ake him fam ous.”

The Science of Getting RichBy W ALLACE D. WATTLES

The author of this book demonstrated to his own satisfaction the principles of success. The book explains these principles in simple language.

Although without much previous experience as a writer, Mr. Wattles was able to earn over $3,000 in one year with his pen.

The process of succeeding, as explained in “ The Science of Getting Rich,” is logical and will appeal to your good common sense. It is necessary to act as well as to think. But how you act and how you think has everything to do with results.

And it was results which the author aimed for in writing “ The Science of Getting Rich” —results for whoever would follow the principles there laid down.

R E A D T H E SE LE TTE R S.Charles If. Shepard, a physician of SI Co

lumbia Height*, B rooklyn, saya: “ I have read ‘THE SCIENCE OF G ETTIN G R ICH ’ twice with Increasing interest and have sold and given aw ay a dozen copies.”

C. P. Morn brook, OHS 38th street, Oakland, Cal., writes the author: “ Enclosed is $.*>.00for which please send m e five copies of ‘TIIE SCIENCE OF GETTIN G RICH.» There is not a shadow of doubt but that your science will work.”

Mrs. M cKenzie, of Bridgeport, Conn., wrote: “ Enclosed $0.00 for six copies. Dr.McLellan loaned me ‘T H E SCIENCE OF G ETTING MICH.’ I read portions of it to five women and they all wanted one.”

Mark G. HVans, a prominent attorney of

Denver, wrote: “Enclosed $r>.00 for othercopies. It should he read by every man and woman in the land.”

“ Your ‘Get Rich’ hook is a delight and an Inspiration and I will tell you before longbow it helped me make a $ 0 0 0 land deal.“—B ert F is h e r , Medina, 0 .
