Many diseased conditions are now known often to be the result of Pyorrhea germs that breed in pockets about the teeth.

Visit your dentist frequently for teeth and gum in spection. And watch your gums yourself. Pyorrhea, which afflicts four out of five people over forty, begins with tender and bleeding gums; then the gums recede, the teeth de cay, loosen and fallout, or must be extracted to rid the system of the poisons generated at their base.

THE EDITORS OF THE OUTLOOK 381 Fourth Avenue New York BY THE WAY (Continued) price. The dropping of secrecy is an unmistakable sign that a trade is established and modernized. Where the laboratory enters an industry, trade secrets vanish." A locomotive engineer's duties require him to lean out of his cab window occasionally to inspect the road ahead, though passengers are warned against putting their heads out of the windows. Railways must so construct their roadbed that the engineer can look out with safety. At least that is the decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, as reported by the "Railway Age," in a case where an engineer was killed because his head struck a rock that projected from a cutting to within six inches of the cab window. From the New York "Sun:" "Haven't you any superstitions?" "No, I think they bring bad luck." From the "Argonaut:" "That youngest boy of yours doesn't seem to do you credit, Uncle Mose," remarked the darky pastor to one of his parishioners. "No, sah, no, sah," replied the old man sorrowfully. "He is de wurstest chile I eber had; in fact, he's de white sheep ob de family." From "Outing:" "Bulleye Hickson, of the West Vir ginia mountains, was asked if he had ever been lost. 'No, I ain't never been what you'd call lost. Of course sometimes it might take me two or three days to find out where I am, but I ain't never been lost."" On page 558 of the issue of The Outlook for August 8, beginning line 11, column 1, appears the following astonishing statement: "The horses . . . were so exhausted that they breathed through their mouths." Probably this is one of the results of the prevalence of the automobile. In the good old days when most of us were familiar with horses it was commonly acknowledged that since there is no passage between a horse's mouth and its windpipe, it is entirely impossible for a horse to breathe through its mouth. The writer of the above letter makes a definite statement, and it is corroborated by a prominent veterinary surgeon, with the proviso, "There has been some controversy as to whether under unusual circumstances a horse can breathe through his mouth." The Encyclopædia Britannica says: "Under ordinary circumstances the horse breathes entirely by the nasal passages, the communication between the larynx and the mouth being closed by the velum palati."

Made in the U. S. A. by Canadian Factory The WAHL CO., LTD., Toronto What I Think of Pelmanism P by Judge Ben B. Lindsey ELMANISM is a big, vital, significant contribution to the mental life of America. I have the deep conviction that it is going to strike at the very roots of individual failure, for I see in it a new power, a great driving force. I first heard of Pelmanism while in -England on war work. Sooner or later almost every conversation touched on it, for the movement seemed to have the sweep of a religious conviction. Men and women of every class and circumstance were acclaiming it as a new departure in mental training that gave promise of end-. ing that preventable inefficiency which acts as a brake on human progress. Even in France I did not escape the word, for thousands of officers and men were Pelmanizing in order to fit themselves for return to civil life. When I learned that Pelmanism had been brought to America by Americans for Americans, I was among the first to enroll. My reasons were two: first, because I have always felt that every mind needed regular, systematic and scientific exercise, and secondly, because I wanted to find out if Pelmanism was the thing that I could recommend to the hundreds who continually ask my advice in relation to their lives, problems and ambitions. Failure is a sad word in any language, but it is peculiarly tragic here in America where institutions and resources join to put success within the reach of every individual. In the twenty years that I have sat on the bench of the Juvenile Court of Denver, almost every variety of human failure has passed before me in melancholy procession. By failure I do not mean the merely criminal mistakes of the individual, but the faults of training that keep a life from full development and complete expression. Pelmanism the Answer It is to these needs and these lacks that l'elmanism . comes as an answer. The "twelve little gray books" are a remarkable achievement. Not only do they contain the discoveries that science knows about the mind and its workings, but the treatment is so simple that the truths may be grasped by anyone of average education. In plain words, what Pelmanism has done is to take psychology out of the college and put it into harness for the day's work. It lifts great, helpful truths out of the back water and plants them in the living stream. As a matter of fact, Pelmanism ought to JUDGE BEN B. LINDSEY Judge Ben B. Lindsey is known throughout the whole modern world for his work in the Juvenile Court of Denver. Years ago. his vision and cour age lifted children out of the cruelties and stupidities of the criminal law, and forced society to recognize its duties and responsibilities in connection with the "citizens of tomorrow." be the beginning of education instead of a remedy for its faults. First of all, it teaches the science of self-realization; it makes the student discover himself; it acquaints him with his sleeping powers and shows him how to develop them. The method is exercise, not of the haphazard sort, but a steady, increasing kind that brings each hidden power to full strength without strain or break. Pelmanism's Large Returns The human mind is not an automatic device. It will not "take care of itself." Will power, originality, decision, resourcefulness, imagination, initiative, couragethese things are not gifts but results. Every one of these qualities can be developed by effort just as muscles can be developed by exercise. I do not mean by this that the individual can add to the brains that God gave him, but he can learn to make use of the brains that he has instead of letting them fall into flabbiness through disuse. Other methods and systems that I have examined, while realizing the value of mental exercise, have made the mistake of limiting their efforts to the development of some single sense. What Pelmanism does is to consider the mind as a whole and treat it as a whole. It goes in for mental team play, training the mind as a unity. Its big value, however, is the instruc[Advertisement] tional note. Each lesson is accompanied by a work sheet that is really a progress sheet. The student goes forward under a teacher in the sense that he is followed through from first to last, helped, guided and encouraged at every turn by conscientious experts. Pelmanism is no miracle. It calls for application. But I know of nothing that pays larger returns on an investment of one's spare time from day to day. (Signed) BEN B. LINDSEY. Note: As Judge Lindsey has pointed out, Pelmanism is neither an experiment nor a theory. For almost a quarter of a century, it has been showing men and women how to lead happy, successful, well rounded lives. 650,000 Pelmanists in every country on the globe are the guarantee of what Pelman training can do for you. No matter what your own particular difficulties are poor memory, mind wandering. indecision, timidity, nervousness or lack of personality-Pelmanism will show you the way to correct and overcome them. And on the positive side, it will uncover and develop qualities which you never dreamed existed in you. It will be of direct, tangible value to you in your business and social life. In the files at the Pelman Institute of America are hundreds of letters from successful Pelmanists telling how they doubled, trebled and even quadrupled their salaries thanks to Pelman training.
