A DEVOTEE OF THE SIMPLE LIFE

M an Climbs M ount W ilson Four T im es in T w enty-one H ours to Show Value

o f Vegetarian D ietF our round tr ip s up and down tlie steep

and dusty tra ils of M t. W ilson, m ade in tw enty-one hours and tw enty m inutes, w ith only ten-m inute rests betw een jo u rn ey s, is the endurance record set by H en ry H . W heeler, fifty-five years old, of 600 N orth N ew H am psh ire Avenue, Los Angeles. T he fea t was perform ed in dem onstration o f the value of the sim ple life and a vege­ta r ia n diet.

T he jo u rn ey of over fifty-six miles was m ade on a food supp ly consisting of only one raw egg, a handfu l of raisins, and a p in t of unferm ented g rap e ju ice. N o ton­ics or alcoholic stim ulants w ere em ployed, nor did M r. W heeler take a bath or a rub down. T he day was hot, and p a r t o f the tram p was made under the burn ing rays of m idday sun. Y et a t the finish M r. W heeler was neither lam e nor noticeably footsore. H e declared th a t had he not been delayed by the hea t and trouble w ith his lam p, he would have m ade five round tr ip s in tw en­ty -fo u r consecutive hours w ithout in ju ry to him self.

M r. W heeler is a devotee of the sim ple life , and for a qu arte r of a cen tu ry he has abstained from flesh foods. F or h a lf a dozen years he has eaten bu t tw o meals daily , adhering to the “no b rea k fa s t” plan.

M r. W heeler’s tr ip s had th e ir perils and th e ir discom forts. T he dust on th e tra ils was two or th ree inches deep n early a ll the way. H e n early w alked off a 100-foot precipice. B eing provided w ith a gas lam p, he used up h a lf an hour in getting it

into operation. T his lam p he carried on n igh t tr ip s even a f te r moonrise, because p a r t of the tra i l was in deep shadows, ex­posing the w alker to danger of a fa ll of a thousand feet or so as the penalty of a m isstep.

T he day, T h u rsd ay , M ay 26, tu rned out unexpectedly hot. O ther climbers were unable to m ake one com plete tr ip . The hea t com pelled M r. W heeler to slacken his pace. To th is fac t he attribu ted his in­ab ility to com plete five tr ip s , and his stop a t the end of his fourth round.— Los A n ­geles E xam iner.

T he A ll-P rov id ing Substance of S p irit is my un failing supply .

A ll th a t the F a th e r hath is mine, and a ll th a t the F a th e r is, I am.

I am p rospered in all th a t I do, because I fulfill the Law of the C hris t M ind in giving and receiving.

M y m ind is not adverse to anybody or anyth ing . I see my Good everywhere.

I am g ra te fu l for the abundance now m anifest in my life and affairs.

I continually p raise and bless thee, S p irit of P len ty , and thy unfailing bounty is now poured out upon me.

T he S p irit of Ju stice secures me in th a t which is my own.

M y own comes to me th rough the D i­vine Law .

M y thought is rich with the bounty of God.

T he righteousness of the C hrist K ing­dom is established in my consciousness, and every th ing needed is added unto me.

I sow boun tifu lly ; I reap bountifu lly .I am obedient to the S p irit o f W isdom,

and I am led in path s of peace and p len ty .In a ll my w ays I recognize the F a th e r­

hood of God and the Brotherhood of man.T he riches of the F a th e r are fo r a ll his

children.I rejo ice and give thanks to God fo r his

everlasting goodness.

A ny th ink ing person who will stop long enough to conceive of th e absurd ity of quaran tine and isolation of disease for the purpose of contro lling its spread will not lend his influence to the perpe tuation of the superstition.

I t is said th a t a do lla r b ill exam ined a t W ashington was found to contain 92,000,-

000 germ s. I f there a re one hundred and tw enty-six billion germ s in one dejection, and 92,000,000 on a do llar bill, how many are there in the mouth and on the clothing of the average person?

I f money is covered w ith germ s, how is it th a t th is medium can go from the pocket of the quaran tined sick m an w ithout fumi­gation and even w ithout being suspected?

D octors go from house to house, yet they w on’t allow any one else to do so.

R eally , the more one thinks about quar­an tine the more absurd the whole th ing appears. I f diseases w ere contagious and infectious, as the germ theorists declare, there would be no stopping disease.

G erm s are everyw here, and they should be, and will be. T hey are for a purpose, if the re is any such th ing as purpose in the w orking out of law and o rder .— A S tu ffed Club.

COMMON MALADY“ One of my most in teresting patien ts,”

rem arked the doctor, “was a young man whose m ind was failing . F or a long while I thought I had effected a perm anent cure.”

“W hat m ade you th ink otherw ise?” asked his friend.

“ You see,” rep lied the doctor, “he went aw ay and forgot to pay his b ill.”— L ipp in - cott’s.

ALWAYS AND NEVERA lw ays give thanks and praise.N ever lam ent and condemn.A lw ays th ink thoughts th a t are pure and

up lifting .N ever forget to do good. An unselfish

deed is a step tow ard God, and even a kind w ord or look m ay b righ ten the pathw ay of some w eary soul.

A lw ays try to be help fu l, active, alert.N ever th ru s t upon others w hat you can

do or should do yourself— th is is selfish­ness.

A lw ays have an ideal and live up to it.

HOW TO RISET he w ay fo r a young m an to rise is to

im prove him self every w ay he can, never suspecting th a t any one wishes to h inder him. Allow me to assure you th a t sus­picion and jealousy never did help any m an in any situation. T here m ay some­tim es be ungenerous a ttem pts to keep a young m an dow n; and they w ill succeed, too, if he allows his m ind to be diverted from its tru e channel to brood over th e a t­tem pted in ju ry .
