We are just beginning'to understand the part that good thinking holds in good health. Our thoughts are just as real & part of us are our bodies A. man who persists in thinking unhealthy thoughts can no more keep sound and healthy in body than a man who vio- lates all the physical laws of his na- ture. A man’s mental attitude is fundamental. It is a well-known fact that the number of deaths in an army defeated and on the retreat is enor- mously greater than in an army upon 4 victorious march. The mental atti- tude of defeat, of discouragement, low- ers the resisting power of the indi- vidual. It predisposes him to disease. The whole tone of his system ts let down. The aggressive, the positive, the confident state of mind is the one that wins out over obstacles. The man who keeps on the defensive all the time, dreading danger, fighting against bad influences, avolding dis- ease, not only wastes an enormous amount of energy, but also lessens his own chances. It is not the defensive but the aggressive attitude that pro- ie a man, The normal way, the efficient way, is to turn one’s thoughts to something worth while, to fill the mind with healthy thoughts. This is sound psychology. You can't drag a thing out ef the mind; but it will go of itself if you put something else in its place. A determined pursuit of good thoughts, of héalthy thoughts, is the only means of getting rid of the other kind.” The Cheerful Man. The cheerful man is preeminently @ useful man, says O. S. Marden, in an analysis of his character in the Success Magazine, The cheerful man sees that everywhere the good outhal- ances the bad, and that every evil has its compensating balm. A habit of cheerfulness enables one to transmute apparent misfortunes into real bless- ings. He who has formed a habit of looking at the bright, happy side of things has a great advantage over the chronic dyspeptic who sees no good in anything. The cheerful man's thought sculptures his face into beau- ty and touches his manner with grace, It was Lincoln's cheerfulness and sense of humor that enabled him to stand under the terrible load of the civil war. If we are cheerful and con- tented all nature smiles with us; the air is balmier, the sky clearer, the earth has a brighter green, the trees have a richer follage, the flowers are more fragrant, the birds sing more sWeetly and the sun, moon and stars are more beaut{fnl. All good thought and good action claim a natural al- liance with good cheer. High-minded cheerfulness is found in great souls, self-poised and confident in their own heaven-aided powers. Serene cheer- fulness is the great preventive of hu- manity’s ills. Grief, anxiety and fear are the great enemies of human life, and should be resisted as we resist the plague. Cheerfulness is their an- tidote. Without cheerfulness there can be no healthy action, physical, mental or moral, for it is the normal atmosphere of our being. Americans are slowly awaking to the commercial value of preserving naturai wonders and objects of historic interest. An important factor in the prosperity of Italy and other nations of the old world is the tourist trade It has been estimated that the money spent by tourists in Italy constitutes a third income of that country. Entry of the United States into the galaxy of world powers has greatly increased its value from the standpoint of the tour- ists, and steamship companies report a marked increase in the last few years in the number of foreign visitors to this country. Hitherto Americans have not been quick to realize the necessity of preserving and marking the points of interest in the various parts of the country which will attract visitors. ee An Amherst professor says the men of the’future will be a race of weak- lings if present educational methods are not changed.
