BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY—YOU MIGHT BELIEVE IT

Mental Attitude Big Factor in Determination of Success ' or Failure, Declares Psychologists ' —Need for Confidence. By Martha Lee We believe whatever we tell ourselves—if we tell ourselves often enough. The man or woman who constantly declares “I’m afraid” and “I can’t” would be performing a real miracle if he went ahead and did the thing that he thoroughly assures himself that he cannot.

Psychologists tell us that by our mental assertions or denials, we build up a background in the “subconscious mind’’ that determines our failure or success. Be that as it may, the person who is confident, and is therefore constantly “telling| himself” that he can be successful, gives out an sion of strength, that convinces other folks that he can “cut ice” and this reacts to his good. Be careful what you tell yourself. Says He's Failed Dear Martha Lee: I wish you could Eire me sotue ideas. 1 am 2(3 years old, and 3 m no farther along than when I was 21. In the first place. I’ve had bad luck. In fact everything 1 do turns out wrong. I have a fair education, but it hasn't done me much good. Guess I'm the real thing in a failure. ROSCOk. You’ll keep right on having “bad luck,” Koscoe, if you don't quit your present line of thought. You’re sitting on a mental tombstone. Never make the statement again that you’re a failure. You can be, of course, if you insist, and then you’ll klay it on to “bad luck.” ■ Now, right about, face. Declare Mwhat is the truth) that this is a wonderful old world, with opportunities for the one who is open to them. It will take as much work to come out of this bad habit of thinking about yourself as if you were trying to break the drink or dope habit, but you can do it. Try. He Loves Her Dear Miss Lee: I have been going with a fellow for about six months, and although I like to be with him very much, I don’t love him, and don't think I ever will. He knows this, and doesn’t expect me to. but he admits he dearly loves me. I have told him that it would be best for hint not to come to see me, as I couldn't give him any hope, but he says it does him good, and that he’s glad he loves me. I want to do what's best for him. as I don't want to hurt him any more than is necessary. Would you let him keep on coming? J. G. As you have been perfectly frank •with him and lie still wishes to come, and if there is no one else you care for, perhaps there’s no harm. Maybe you will get to caring for him. Proqinquity is a great match-maker. Why Not Be Friends? Dear Martha Lee: I am 18. I met a boy last summer that I think the world of. Although he was going wtih another girl, lie paid considerable attention to me. Now he drops in every once in a while, but acts lust friendly. I gave a party recently, but he did not come. Afterwards lie apologized. Does this prove he cares for me some? Do tell me now I can win him. I'm tired of wondering and guessing about him. A WONDERING BLONDE. Why can’t you girls accept the idea that a young man can feel friendship for you without falling in love? So many times, you seem to think it a positive affront if the young man wants t obe just friends, ■p this case, T think he probably you in a nice friendly way and if you don’t frighten him away by indicating that you expect love, the friendship might deepen. He Won’t Believe Her Dear Martha Lee: I have been going with a veir nice young man for thrumonths. The other night he showed me a letter from am unknown girl, telling him to forget me as I had been going out frequently with other boys. He says he doesn t believe the letter, but has seemed indifferent to me since receiving it. I haven’t been out with any body since going with him. How can I prove to him that I have told him the truth about this? He savs he likes me very much, but do you think he doe3 when he lets an unknown person’s word affec’t him ? PUZZLED. If his friendship has any depth, he won’t let an anonymous letter separate you. Perhaps his indifference isn’t caused by that. The letter may be simply an excuse on his pa rt, As you and he are not engaged, it would have been no crime if you had had other engagements. Anyway. don’t keep in an apologetic attiude. Have dignity and make him know you expect him to believe you.

Children Cry For

CASTORIA

When Baby Complains. There are many ways a baby has of expressing any pain or irregularity or digression from its normal condition of health and happiness. A short sharp cry, a prolonged irritated cry. Restlessness, a constant turning’ of the head or of the whole body, fretful. In these and other ways a baby tells you there is something wrong. Most mothers know that a disordered stomach, or bowels that do not act naturally are the cause of most of baby’s sufferings A call for the doctor is the first thought, but in the event of any delay there should he ready at hand a safe remedy such as Fletcher’s Castoria. Castoria has been used for baby’s ailments for over 30 years and has merited the good will of the family physician in a measure not equaled by any other baby’s medicine because of its harmlessness and the good results achieved. And remember this: Castoria is essentially a baby’s remedy and not a cure-all for every member of the family. What might help you is too often dangerous when given to a babe. .To avoid imitations, always look for the signature of jProven directions on each package. Physicians everywhere recommend it.

• BEA UTY IN CHURCHES

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson Harry Emerson Fosdlck, noted Baptist divine, has hurled a bomb into the ranks of the hard and softshelled brethren by urging them to emulate the Catholic confessional. This is an idea worthy of study, and he stresses a point still more important when he says that we should make our Protestant services more beautiful. Here is something that might well be prayerfully considered. Most Protestant churches are entirely too ugly to inspire religious thoughts. And, whereas rich congregations that have erected beautiful buildings, with noble stained glass windows and velvet cushioned pews, may worship amid such lovely surroundings, the poorer classes kneel in cold, bare, hideous structures, gaid make their search for God where even the holiest saint would find it hard to imagine Him. The rural districts where Baptists, Methodists and Presbyterians reign are pitifully lacking in passably decent churches. Our Puritan forefathers regarded religion as something cruel and hard, and went out of their way to find the supremely ugly so as to depart from the altars and Incense and candles of the hated Popish priests. In doing so they took away from the people something divinely comforting. which they have never been able to give to tfiem again. To worship beneath the boughs of a spreading tree is far more inspiring, better calculated to arouse a feeling of the brooding presence of God, than to go into one of these wooden structures, where the seals are cold and hard and bare, the light garish and the pulpit rears itself like some ungainly monster from a sea of red carpet. Undoubtedly the masses of the people are not being given enough beauty with their religion. The Catholics, with their small chapels and their great cathedrals, which are always open to worshipers, where slim tapers burn before lovely altars and aromatic incense rises on the soft air, are wise with an ancient wisdom. Let the Protestant rich trade churches for a time with the Protestant poor, and perhaps they will be able to see where a great work might be done. We are all starved for beauty, and where should we seek it if not in the churches?

Wealth* LAl.l'it CLUNY. 68. was murdered just net ore ha was to have married trn ulcus CHERRY LANK. 18 Immediately Cherr.v disappears leaving a note lor her sister FAITH. saving .she could not go on with the wedding, Cherry s elopemeDt with _,HRIS WILEY becomes known. Cherry has been engaged several times Ouee she tried lo run away with ALBERT ETTELSON a married traveling salesman, and was rescued by her si6ter and BOfi HATHAWAY, faith’s fiance and nephew of Cluny __ Cherry admits that Clun.v attempted to force Ihe marriage but protests hei innocence. , , faith suspects Chris Wiley, thinking he knew that Cluny had willed much monev to Cherry Charles Reilly Neff who drew up the will, testifies that Clunv made Cherry hie chief beneficiary whcuier or not she married him. The coroner s jury releases Cherry imt immediately she, and her husband are arrested bv DEVLIN deputy district auuiney. • „ ~ . Faith is furious when Bob tells her ATTORNEY STEPHEN CHURCHILL, whom . he employed, thinks circumstances are against Cnern and suggests a plea of self-delense as the best chance of her freedom: Peculiar footprints and a hit of torn strap suggest that the murderer might be a cripple, but this evidence is not presented. _ , . _ Bob plays burglar in Ralph Cluny s office ami finds the threatening letter written hir.i. which Cherry had described When Faith made her next viait to Cherry in the county jail, she took with her two black silk dresses, ready for a fitting. Mrs. Webb, mouth full of pine, helped Faith j adjust the hems, while Cherry, her ! golden eyes bright with interest, chattered as gaily as if she were being fitted for a party dress. “Just a little bit shorter, darling!” she pleaded. “Oh, all right!. I’ll be a frump if it’s going to help my case. Can’t you make it just a little lower in the neck? I’m going to look like a baby, with this deep collar of white pleated chiffon. Aren't those turned back cuffs adorable, Mrs. Webb? Faith 1s a perfect genius with clothes, isn’t she?” "It's a lucky girl you are to have a sister like Miss Faith,” Mrs. Webb told her solemnly* “Now —that hc-m couldn’t be evener, if I do say it myself.” “I love this full-skirted black satin with the little bffkque waist and the white lace fichu.” Cherry told Faith a little later, as the second dress was being tried on. Her small white fingers caressed the gleaming, thick black satin. “Don’t I look like a Puritan maid, Mrs. Webb? That’s the way I’m going to look when I say, ‘Before God, I am Innocent!' ” “Don’t, Cherry,” Faith commanded her sharply. “I can’t bear it —” “Don’t be silly,” Cherry countered, her face flushing brightly. “Churchill has been coaching me every day for a week, telling me exactly how to look and what to say, every expression for my face. But I’m sticking to the truth, darling. Don’t you worry about that. He’s tried over and over to make me consent to a self-defense plea, but I’d rather die than say I killed poor Mr. Cluny when I didn’t. All right now, honey? 1 * Her tone changed back to lightness and gayety as she prepared to slip the lovely black satin dress over her head. ‘ Guess you girls want to talk things ove*’,” Mrs. Webb said amiably, as she waddled heavily away to an easy chair in a far corner of the prison reception room. “Lord, I’m tired!” Cherry sank Into a chair. “Churchill’s been at me for hours. He’s still trying to make me remember more about that darned letter. Good heavens, I’d remember if I could, wouldn’t I When my life may depend on It?” “Why, what can’t you remember?” Faith asked, startled. “Just how I happened to see It,” Cherry told her. “I know well I never opened the darned thing. I’d have remembered that. All I remember is that I did find it one day when Mr. Cluny was out. But I think I ran across it when? I was filing other letters. I don’t remember finding It in the file basket, as I told him at first. I’m sure it was already in the filing cabinet when I went to work for Mr. Cluny.” “But doesn’t the rubber stamp date tell when it was received?” Faith asked. “I thought that was ull settled —” “The trouble Is, the rubber stamp 1 was not set to show the year it was : received. The letter may ha,ve been there a year or two, for all I know. The stamp on it just says September 14. with the numbers 192, then a blank. Whoever used the stamp that day didn't fix it to record the

year. Probably an accident. Lola Gonzales worked for him before I did, but Churchill says he can’t get a thing out of Lola. She’s Banning’s witness —” “A witness for the prosecution?” Faith demanded, icy terror running through her veins. “What in the world does she know about the case?” “I suppose she’ll testify against my character,” Cherry yawned again. “Thank heaven, Bob made Alexander Cluny tear up that awful report that that spying brother of Lola's—Pete Gonzales, you know — niade against me to Alex. That would be a pretty thing to spring on me when I’m fighting for my life.” NEXT: Christmas day in jail and an exciting discovery by Faith and Bob. (Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.)

I’m Most Grateful Every Month Here’s glorious news for longsuffering womankind! To every woman who periodically has suffered pain. Menstruation need no longer be painful. And it is Science that is speaking! Specialists have developed a tiny tablet called miijol. It's a simple thing, utterly harmless ,to a girl of fourteen, but it brings relief in five to seven minutes. And is effective twelve hours or longer! Midol is not a narcotic. It has no effect whatever on heart or nervOus system. It acts directly on those organs affected by menstruation. They function normally, as they should, but the pain is banished. Complete relief —yes, perfect comfort —follows midol. Your druggist has midol for 50 cents, in a slim aluminum box to tuck in your purse. Takes Pain Off the Calendar

THE WHEN STORES S3 N. Pennsylvania

—By Martin

CONCEALED FULLNESS The prediction of several seasons ago that wider skirts would bring a return to fatter figures has been disproved. Most of the French couturieres, while favoring so contrive the lines of their frocks that the bodice and hips fit closely, and the pleats or gathers appear suddenly, well below the hip line. Flounces set almost as low as the knees give a charming Spanish effect and create a graceful line in the dance. A lace ruffle or line of fringe adds further sweep. TO MATCH HAT If you are wearing a red henna or rose hat, your lipstick must match it in tone. NATURAL STRAWS The natural tones of straw are to be very smart for spring hats. Trimmings are chiefly navy blue twill ribbons and narrow black hands.
