the bread is baked and the process is

warm drinks and warm foods But it
is ruined If hot drinks and scorching
foods be poured into it.
There is no surer way to get indigss-
ton than TO eat burning hot food. The
stomach is injured and there is a con
slant irritation. One is very thirsty
and there is a steady craving for some
thing to go into the stomach. That is
the beginning of indigestion and the be

larly recruited number Of children
about ten years Of age. who are trained
Tor the purpose of discovering criminals.
These crime discoverers are called

under the influence OF hypnotism, TO de-
tect malefactors.
AS an example Of their powers, It 10
recited that one Of the labascha re-
,entIy discovered an incendiary who had
fred some HOUSES near Adis-Ababa-
rhe hoy. Immediately after being hypr
notized and told what he had to do,
started forth at a sharp run in the di-
-ection Of Harrar. Near this place he
turned into a crossroad. jumped into q

iully working IL the place This man
subsequently confessed the crime OF
which he was accused, arson. On an
other occasion an assassination followed
oy theft was committed in the neigh

after he was arrested. and, altfcrsh
he at frst protested his innocence, he
subsequently confessed the crime Of
murder and robbery. His route after
he commission Of the crime was traced
md it was found to be the identical
)ue taken by the labascha before falling
n front OF the murderer's door. where
