INTEREST is AROUSED
IN HYPNOTIC MATTERS
DR.. McIvor-Tyndall Will Lecture on
This Puzzling Force Next Sun
day Evening

day Evening.
The public is frequently startled by the
claim of some culprit or criminal that he
was hypnotized to commit the act for
which he is in custody. Those who are
supposed to know generally declare that
1T is impossible to hypnotic a person so
as to make him do anything he would not
do in the normal state. Altogether there
is more diversity of opinion regarding
this one phase of occultism than any
other subject in which the public is in
terested.
Probing into the causes underlying the
phenomena of thOught-transferen mes
meric influence, spirit communication and
all the phases of occultism is something
that is attracting the thoughtful at the
present time. The world is having what
may be termed psychic revival -
Every one, however practical, is anxious
to know something of the hidden causes
that make these phenomena possible. Dr.
McIvor-Tyndalls demonstrations are
based on scientific facts. His theories are
presented in a convincing way, explain
ing many of the obscure phases of mental
and psychic science.
'Hypnotism-Good and Bad" will be the
subject of DIR. McIvor-TyndalTs Sunday
night lecture at Steinway Hall There
are many erroneous ideas in regard to the
good and bad effects of hypnotism, and
those who attend DR.. McIvor-Tyndalls
demonstration Sunday will doubtless be
rewarded with much enlightenment on
this strange power. The lecture is arous-
ing great deal of interest, and Steinway
Hall will doubtlessly be packed to the
doors. Reserved seats can be secured at
THAT Man Pitts" 1908 Market street.
After the talk DR. McIvor-TyndaIl will
give a demonstration of the powers of the
sub-conscious mind. illustrating the prin-
ciples of mental wireless teIegraphy.

GARDEN FETE
TO BE GIVEN
FOR ORPHANAGE

A garden fete for the benefit of the
San Francisco Presbyterian Orphanage
and Farm of San Anselso is to be held
october in the beautiful grounds of
Mrs. A. E. Kent at Kentville The women
that guide the affairs of this excellent in
stitution are sparing no effort to make
the fete yield a profitable sum to its
rather depleted treasury, and to that end
are planning many attractive features,
no word of which will be divulged until
the day is near. Surely there is no char
1ty that appeals so universally to the
heart as that which extends its protecting
hand over homeless little ones
The gardens of Mrs. Kent are beautiful
ly wooded and replete with shady hooks;
in these bevies of fair maids will dispense
various kinds of goodies
The following ladies are directors Of
this very worthy home: Mrs. P. D.

guests who are fortunate enough to hold
cards. Some very clever stories are told
within the clubs precincts and they are
cleverly told. 1t might behoove many of
the raconteurs' husbands to pick up a
few points in story telling, for all men
don't tell stories well, though they fondly
imagine they do.

WILLIS EXCURSIoNISTS
ARE PROMISED SEATS
Interest Is Excited BY Forthcoming
Sale Of Lands at New Railway
Terminus

Colonel w. II. Mention, manager of the
country land department of the Burnham
& Marsh Company, reports that there is
lively interest in the property at Willis,
which is about to be placed on the mar
ket. This is justified, he says, for the
reason that the former terminals of the
San Francisco and Northwestern Rail-
way-Cloverdale and Ukiah-grew from
towns as small as Willis to cities, and
Willis has advantages that neither of
the other cities mentioned possessed.
Colonel Mention says tnat he will see
personally that each and every one who
goes on the excursion train to Willis
next Sunday to view the property is pro-
Vided with a seat.

A WOMAN,S coMpLExIoN.

It is rank foolishness to attempt TO
remove sailowness or greasiness of the
skin by the use Of cosmetics, or .locals
treatment, as advocated by the beauty
doctors.p The only safe and sure way
woman can improve her complexion is
by purifying and enriching the blood,
which can only be accomplished by keep
ing the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood pol
luton. Green's August Flower acts di-
rectly on the liver. cleanses and enriches
the blood, purifes the complexion. It
also cures constipation, biliopsness, uer-
yousness and induces refreshing sleep. A
single bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced and
distressing cases Of dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. New trial size bottle, 25 cents !;
