Observe the people about you, and you will find that those whom you like best are the ones who are most tolerant of your views and actions. Apply the acid test of friendship. To which would you be willing to give money‘in case of need? As a rule, we hestitate about loaning money to those who are fault-finding and eernally picking the world and all that’s in it to pieces, when we are quite ‘villing to help out those who are not so bitter. If anyone is crit- ically intolerant with a tongue that stings like a lash, we avoid him. Tt is possible to form a mental habit of being “again” anything. As people grow older, unless they are careful, these tendencies deepen like | wrinkles on tkeir faces. One can, however, learn to form a habit of Good habits form chains that are just as strong as bad ones. Man is by nature a constructor, a builder, a docr, and he feels the happiest when engaged in constructive things. I believe that everyone should cul- tivate the gift of tolerance. See that it keeps growing. Try to feel friendly toward more people and more inter- ests. As you know them, you will cease to condemn them for we usually condemn that about which we know | litle. Most people have had their toler- an and intolerances built into them for many years. If they were born among Americans, they consider it “good” to sit on a chair. If they were born among the Japanese, they consider it “bad” to sit on a chair food” to sit on the floor.

B. F. writes: “Kind- ly tell me if your pay for the valuable work you are doing for humanity {comes from the Rockefeller Founda- tion Fund?” Answer: My health articles are syndicated through hundreds of news- papers throughout the United States and Canada. Each newspaper pays a different amount for these articles. according to the size of the paper. My real pay, however, comes mostly from reading the thousands of letters, such as yours, showing appreciation. There is no association, firm, fund, founda- tion or institution of any kind which lends me the slightest amount of fi- nancial support. Mine is mostly one man’s job, but I get a great deal of real satisfaction out of it. (Glandular Imbalance) Question: G. asks: “How can a person get fat and a fat person get thin on the same diet?” Answer: Such a tendency is caused by a difference in glandular func- tioning. A special fasting and dict treatment will often correct either of these improper balances of the func- tional activitiy of the ductless glands. | (Spleentc Tumor) Question: M. D. W. writes: “My doctor tells me I have a fibroid tu- mor on the spleen. Will you please tell me the nature of a fibroid tumor and does it ever become cancerous? Are there any treatments to be taken that will arrest its growth?” Answer: A fibroid tumor any place in the body is caused by a kind of fibrous growth through the tissues affected. These undoubtedly may be- come cancerous in time if they reach @ certain stage of degeneration.
