Ask for Horlick's The ORIGINAL Malted Milk A BY THE WAY T Wayland, Kentucky," says a traveler who writes in the "Type Metal Magazine," "I was met by a team of tough mules hitched to a 'jolt' wagon. In this 'jolt' wagon I traveled twelve miles over the worst road I have ever seen. The journey took five hours. At times one side of the wagon sank into a rut three feet deep. Every hundred feet we dropped into holes two to four feet deep. The road followed a creek, which we crossed and recrossed fortyone times in the twelve miles. Not a single bridge has ever been constructed in this district. The people here sell little, and they buy little except shoes, overalls, crockery, tinware, and a few canned goods. The chief reason for this is the cost of transportation-seventyfive cents a hundred pounds for hauling over the twelve-mile trail from Wayland. "As I came north," the traveler continues, "and reached the beautiful National highway at Columbus, Ohio, I could not help making an obvious comparison. The most shiftless farmer in this section is a plutocrat compared to the Kentucky mountaineer. We are making headway. I do not think any of us would care to trade what we have to-day for the conditions which prevailed a century ago"-and which still seem to prevail in some of the mountainous parts of Kentucky, chiefly owing to the condition of the roads. "Madam, what is your subject?-it's chick." This assertion was brought to mind with the reading of a newspaper heading, "Makes a Royal Flush and Then Drops Dead." The paragraph follows: Davenport, Iowa, Jan. 13.-"A royal flush!" exclaimed Charles Hass, while at the home of a friend, playing poker this afternoon. He had discarded two cards and picked up a jack and ten of spades, filling out a premier hand. As he reached for the chips he fell dead of a paralytic stroke. "San Francisco buys more flowers per capita than any other city in the world." So says the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. The downtown streets are gay with flower stands every month in the year, according to an article in the "Journal of the National Education Association." "Twenty-five cents-or 'two bits' as they say in California-will buy an armful of flaming marigolds. In the spring, the blossom-filled 'Valley of Heart's Delight' draws superlatives from Los the most seasoned globe-trotter." Angeles papers please copy! Under the heading "The Best Short Stories of 1922 B.c." the New York "Herald" gives an honored place to these specimens of the humor of the ancient world: An Irish laborer in Bristow-off-Tyne had been warned to be careful of a quarry pit in the neighborhood. His foreman saw him suddenly stagger and disappear over the crest of the opening. At once he ran to the edge. "Are you dead, Padraic?" "Sure, an' I'm kilt entirely." "Man, you don't sound dead." "Well, if I'm not dead, I'm knocked spacheless." "Prisoner, you are accused of stealing a pig." "Yes, your Honor." "Did you take it?" "Yes, your Honor." "You plead guilty to theft?" "No, your Honor. I took it for a joke." A thoughtful frown creased the judicial brows. "How far did you carry that pig?" "Just over to my house-a matter of two miles." "You carried that joke entirely too far." From the "Princeton Tiger:" Citizen "So you refused $3,000 spot cash to let this liquor truck go?" Cop"Yes, sir." Citizen-"Were you re: warded for your honesty?" Cop-"Sure, sir; the chief gave me a case." From the "Fliegende Blaetter:" "How old are you, miss?" "I have "And seen four and twenty summers." how many years were you blind?" From the Munich "Simplicissimus:" "What! Dinner isn't ready? Then I'm going to a restaurant." "But wait just five minutes." "Will it be ready then?" "No, I'll come with you." 1 Judge Ben ELMANISM is a big, vital, significant contribution to the mental life f America. I have the deep con riction 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 Sooner or later t England on war work. 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 imental training that gave promise of ending 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 Pelmanism 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 courage 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 I 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.
