II I'eople ask me if it not harmful to the brain to tax it with several actions at the same time. I do not think it is; on the contrary, I believe It to be exceedingly beneficial, by increasing the power of concentration, to learn to do more than one thing at a time. Will-power is really the foundation of the mind Without it civilisation and human progress are unthinkable. And it is the wiil-power of man which dis tinguiiahes Lira from lower aniraalg and makes him the master of ail things that exist on thu earth. To do a certain thing ws must concentrate our attention upon that certain thing, as, for Instance, reading a newspaper.

To do two things at the game time we must concentrate our attention upon two different subjects simu.taneous and to do three things, concentrate upon three things at the same time, and so on But since, in order to concentrate our attention, ws must rely upon will-power, the question of whether or not ws can do more than one thing at a time depends upon the strength and the nature of the will-power we possess. Mistaken Idea It Is believed by many people that we can do only one thing at a time because we can direct only one attention at a time. But. I have proved that this Is a mistaken Idea. In examining carefully the working of the will in Its relation io the concentration of attention.

I have discovered that In an ordinary action of the mind, such as reading a newspaper, we une only about one -fifth of the power of attention we Dossers, leaving the remaining four-fifths diffused. And It Is this diffused part of the at tention which makes us conscious of things around us, although are not ntentionally directing sur thsughts upon them. So the stronger the dif fused part of attention the greater is the possibility of distract ion We must learn to concentrate as much of our attention as possible in order to make the diffused part less. The stronger the concentration the weaker the power of distraction. All In Concentration.

Now. doing two things at the aim time means to concentrate two-rift hs of the attention upon two different subjects simultaneously. To do this it would naturally require twice as much mental effort and therefore twice as much will-power. Klnce the will-power Increases in proportion to the degree of Its application, on wiU find some difficulty In the beginning, but as one applies sne's will-wwer it will grow stronger and eventually, if properly trained, it will be possible for one to concentrate attention upon two, three or even four things tmultaneously By the will-power so trained and strengthened one will be ibie to direct and concentrate attention upon more than two things at the same rime, thus enabling one to concentrate greater part of the attention upon ne subject, which will be many times itronger than If one Is able to direct inly one-fifth of the attention at a time. 4'oncentratlon is Impossible without wIM-power.

Sir Jess Boot. th "drus kmc" of Great Britain and urn of the moat extraordinary personalities In the world of thi country, ia figuring prominently in the new of the day, Just thi week the treat business that he controls aaid to be the largest or its kind in the hole worid vai entirely acquired, lock, stock and barrel, by the mijrhty L'ruted Drue Comaany of America.

With this object Sir Jewue has just purchased thirty-aix acre of land adjoining the Victoria Kmbankroent of the River Trent, a portion of the estate of Clifton, for fKHMrOQ.

No stranger on a visit to England can fail to be struck by the omnipresence "Boots, the Cash Chemists." whose establishments are literally everywhere. The lruff Stores, ts we should call them, have attained to a popularity unequalled by any other chain of similar establishments in the I'm led Kingdom owing to the fact that they undersell, and from the beginning have undersold, the more regulation type of drug stores throughout the country. In addition run on American lines they are undeniably the most attractive establishments of their kind in Great some of the bipger Boots places, with their ornate restaurants and tea rooms, their circulating libraries and their lavish and tasteful displays of perfumeries, soaps, toilet articles and leather goods representing the ne plus ultra of '-'temples of trade" In the British Isles. Over six hundrt-d of these shops are operated by "Boots the Cash Chemists." who also maintain the greatest chemical factory and the greatest laboratory for drugs in Kn gland, and who employ over 10,000 workpeople. The capital represented by the Boots Interests runs well into the millions sterling.

And of this mighty business, with its many ramifications and offshoots, the creator and organizing genius is a cripple a man whom disease has rendered so nearly helpless that he has to be carried about in a chair, who has been a martyr for years to an acute form of arthritis, now ho overmastering that he in unable to take a single step.

Fortunate Under Protest. For Sir Jfrsse is a fortunate and prosperous man under protest.

When he llrst set out to provide himself with the means of existence, he had no thought in his mind of making great riches, not the merest shadow of a desire for luxury.

With his gratuity and savings he started a real estate business here, but lost everything. Then he tried to retrieve his fortunes by setting up shoe-shine stands outside the Beaver hut and other soldiers' hostels in London. In this way he made at one time $100 to a week.

But gradually the number of his Canadian patrons dwindled as the transports took them back home, and Gareau fcund himself stranded.

Michael, was third In the same event. fbitions soon soared beyond the retailing of herbs; young as he waa he saw the possibilities of a more remunerative "line." Devoting every minute of his spare' time to the study of pharmacy his keen brain quickly enabled hire to master its mysteries, and then he de- cided to become a chemist on his own account. Philanthropy Led to Fortune He opened his first little shop in Goose Gate, a working class district of Nottingham and quickly turned it into a paying business. From the first, he told me, his sympathies were aroused by the extreme poverty of those who cams to him for what they called "proprietory articles." He makes no bones about confessing that he saw a good chance for improving) his modest business by selling these proprietory articles at a much smaller profit than was universal among English chemists. At the same time the first impulses in this direction came from sympathy.

The son of a poor man, himself poor enough, and with a mother to provide for. he had a deep feeling of kinship with poverty. He says that it really went against hia conscience to charge an exorbitant price for medicines to the very pjr people who came to his shop suffering and ill. So he began selling cheaply and it was not until he did fiat hi business began to grow by leaps and bounds and that bs saw the chance of making a modest fortune tor himself. But even then his Idea was to sell out as soon as he could and ti go wandering on foot through feng'and.

He lived a strenuous life at this lime, carrying on two big and over-growing establishments. So great was th strain that his health gave way and hs decided to retire with a competence. 11. a physician, however, saw that for a man so actively-minded and so unusually endowed with the faculty of organ txat ion. Idleness, however romanl ic and wandering, would be unhealthy.

He prescribed a lengthy holiday and young Boot departed for the Channel Islands. It was on this holiday that met his Wife. Lady Boot, one of the mot capable women of toer time, perhaps a prototype of the woman of the next generation. To be able to marry her meant a continuance in business and Jease Boot determined to mske jut a little more money before he retired. In this modst ambition he succeeded and his success Infected his wife, whose powers of organization.

Sept. 18 Few peopte aeem to remember in the controversy which has arisen over Dr. Mannix visit to Great Britain that he, as president of Maynooth college, welcomed Kins Kdward VII there in 1903 with a warmth and hospitality which very greatly pleased that monarch of social gifts. The Idea of decorating the college with King Edward's racing colors was Dr. Man-nix's, and that and the reception given the King f-reatly displeased the extreme Nationalists la those days.

It seemed a happy moment for Ireland. With Lord Dudley as viceroy and George Wyndham as chief secretary, and with King; Edward to back them up, the Golden Age of Irish peace and prosperity seemed about to dawn. Cam At Friend King Kdward had come to Ireland In a mood of friendship the Irish. Tho story waa that his ministers had strongly opposed the Irish visit on 1 the ground that it was not safe, Aa a matter of fact, the Irish of all i creeds and classes had what we call "a grab" that is to aay, a soft spot. tit their hearts for Kins; Kdward, not only because he was a sportsman, but also because ha was reported to bo very friendly to the Irish claims and to like the Irish, as bis mother.

Queen Victoria, did not. Ha said to Lord Mac Donne (then Sir Antony): "Are they disloyal?" "No, air, but they ar discont ented What do they want? "They want education and they want security In their land." "I shall come to Ireland with an education bill In one band and a land bill tn the other." This story was told to me by the late Barry O'Brien. The land bl.l and thai education bill were indeed given. So It was to Kdward the Peacemaker in a ape rial sense that the right royal reception was' given by the president and staff of fit Patrick's college. It la an odd whlrlisii? that sees Kins; Kdward a host with all the doors of Ireland closed In his face and himself In a sense the prisoner of the British government.
