by cJMfrud 2u4?init/i Stranger Than Fiction Ail elderly lady died last week and left almost a million dollars to an usher who worked at the Boxy Theatre. The reason he was named her heir ? his politeness. Beacuse she was slighMy infirm this usher allowed her to come in to theatre before the doors were opened and helped her to a seat. For these courtesies he will re ceive a fortune. Ironically, the last picture she attended was "You Can't Take It With You." Modern Miracle Last Friday evening we stopped in the Amsterdam to hear a radio broadcast. Our companion was an old Broadwayfarer. In a reminis cent mood, he spoke of forty years ago. Gas footlights, buxom chorus girls (twelve was a big revue), a solitary male or female star who aang the hits of the day. Either airy American lilts, as "In the Merry Month of May" or heart rending ballads ITke "Just Break the News to Mother." The oldtimer stopped talking as tho broadcast began. We thought of you folks sitting contentedly in your living room.

LET CHIROPRACTIC SHOW YOU THE WAY TO BETTER HEALTH ! THE Doctor of Chiropractor recognizes that the activity and functions, both normal and abnor mal, of the human body, are governed and con trolled by the Brain and Nervous Systems, en cased within the skull and spinal column. The various nerves passing from these through the passageways between the vertebrae of the spine transmit the vital energy or nerve force to the many organs and tissues. Therefore, the Doctor ' of Chiropractic looks to the Spine and Nerves in ? finding the causes of ailments and directs the treatment through this medium. Chiropractic is a Natural, Drugless System of Health. -"HEALTH through CHIROPRACTIC" ? ~ i Dr. Sadie C. Johnson V-J LOUISBt'RG, N.

Ev ery thought, every plan weaves new threads into the fabric of our future. A famous scientist has said that the only logical concep tion of the universe is an Infinite Mind, in which "everything is a thought." Thought is the creative activity of the Infinite Mind ? and man thinks. In the statements that in the "beginning was God," and that Man is made "in the image and likeness of God," we learn that Man combines wit'hiu himself all ' the elements of the Creative Principle. Thus, through our thinking, we can create conditions of want, evil, despair, or build lives of increasing power. You will see, therefore, how im portant it is to think construc- , tively. No matter what failures you have known in the. past, no matter what fears have afflicted you, the one way out lies in chang ing your thoughts. You must al ways think- your way out, before you can act your way out. To control our thoughts and use the creative power effectively we must understand three impor tant phases of the mind. First, the Higher Intelligence, the God Mind, unlimited in power and possibilities. All successful men and women, consciously tor uncon sciously, tap this Mind, bringing into this world much of Its ra diant newness. At the other end of the scale is the Habitual Mind, a product of and yet a part of God Mind, but limited in possibilities. This is i the everyday mind which we use I in transacting our business, plan ning our dinners, and in all the outward activities of our lives. Between these two, the God' Mind and the Habitual Mind, lies a third ? the Christ Mind, which serves as the link between the 1 other two, connecting the Habit i ual Mind with the God Mind, nia . king the three one Mine. This united Mind was the conscious Health & Beauty SALE Concentrated SUPER SUDS (In the Blue Box) Lge. Size 23c - Med.

The Christ Mind is at all times conscious of the un limited power and ability of the God Mind to produce super-ideas. At the same time, it is conscious of the limitations of the Habitual Mind and conscious also of self, of its own power and its ability to understand these other two mind phases. Our consciousness of these three mind phases becomes for us the unlimited source of ideas. Once we possess this knowledge, that which is essential is how to use the creative processes of our minds to fulfill our desires. It j thus becomes .important to know ihow the thinking of the Christ ' Mind differs from that of the Ha | bitual Mind. ' i The Habitual Mind is full of fear and uncertainty ? the Christ' Mind is divinely certain of itself and of its creative power. There fore, if you wish consciously to build your life, dominate and con trol that thinking which pertains alone to the Habitual Mind, learn to unite this with the strong, vic torious thoughts which are the natural attributes of the Christ Mind.
