PRoF. Berthelot's experiments to
demonstrate the value of chemical
foods, lately made in Paris. have been
quite successful. Four men and two
women who were subjected to the
treatment ate nothing for three weeks
except pellets containing various
combinations Of carbons, azote and
hydrogen. They came out of the or.

Hans Younger has been driven in

hypnotic sleep on the both inst,
at Spokane. He was committed to
the asylum Tuesday. Two physicians
declare that his dementia is the re.
suit of hypnotism. Younger, who is
Danish laborer, 10 said to have been
hypnotized on q variety theater stage.
He Was found at q clearinghouse in o
semi-rigid condition and remained in
. cataleptic state for six days, occa.
sionally reviving sufficiently to take
food. When he was aroused Monday
night he exhibited symptoms OF in.
sanity, which have steadily increased.
The authorities are endeavoring to de-
termine who hypnotized the man, and
say q criminal prosecution will follow.
There is no law against hypnotism.
but the guilty person will be punished
under tho statute which prohibits
damage of person or his property.
The case is most peculiar one and
has caused widespread comment
among the medical fraternity. Hans
Younger has no known relatives.

The fact is, that since the change
from hot air to steam heat, this is the

opinion being that the degree OF

satisfaction to know that not one out
