NEW USES FOR HYPNoTIsM
Abi. to Cure Alcohol and Tobacco
INDULGENCE,


A London hypnotist who says he is
abla to cure the appetite for liquor
explains the method as follows Il
merely say You will feel an intense
antipathy to wine, beer and spirits;
hut. of course, this can't be done with
Gu: their consent. One OF our So
ciety told the son of dipsomaniac
that if he drank he would be sick
and for six years he has not touched
liquor. 1t is the same with smok-
ing. This same doctor had patient
who. whenever he was not eating or
sleeping, was smoking. He there
fore hypnotized him. saying; If you
ever put pipe or cigar into your
mouth you will be sick He then woke
him and watched him fill his pipe. He
put it between his lips, but he became
sick Immediately. The patient has not
smoked since, nor shown any wish to
smt ke.
"Dr. Jung. of The Hague" says this
hyprotist. has treated forty-one
drunkards, and has had nineteen COM
plete cures. The suggestion aids in
establishing self-control, not in estab-
fishing mere negative feeling toward
dirk. DIR. Milne Bramwell has made
twenty-eight cures, while Tokarsky of
Moscow has treated 700 patients and
had so per cent of cures. Fifteen to
twenty suggestions are usually sufii-
cient. Where drugs are believed in
eitf er by the patient or by the doc
tor improvement will follow.
Suggestion in the treatment of dis
ease" he asserts, has been strangely
neglected. but 1t is our aim to have it
restored. How much of the benefit is
derived from faith and how much
from psychic force we have yet to
leai n. Five thousand years ago India

Labor Unions Oppose Force.

Stockholm. June 15.-The attitude
of the laboring classes is likely to
prove a potent factor in overcoming
any possible disposition on the part
of a section of the Riksdag to suggest
the adoption of coercive measures to-
ward Norway and in influencing the
chamber in favor of accepting the dis.
solution of the union of Norway and
Sweden.
Swedish labor unions are daily tele
graphing to Norwegian unions saying
they will refuse to take up arms.

EARN BOOK-KEEPING-

1t IS notorious fact that very few
farmers keep track of their operations
in any methodicaI way so that they are
able to tell what any particular field or
any particular bunch of cattle nets
them They know in a general way
whether they make or lose money, but
they cannot tell just where.
If this system of doing business-or
lack of system-were allowed in any
other line of work it would bring fnan-
cial ruin in short order. In the pack
ing industry the packer can tell Just
what all the little by-products bring
him. If a systematic record of such
things were kept on the farms, farmers
would be more careful of the loose ends
of their business, and they would con-
sequently make much more money.
In the current number of the Review
Of Reviews writer discussing this sub
ject Of farm bookkeeping, says:
The laymen can hardly realize the
lack Of system that prevails on the
average farm. Drainage is little thought
of on the lowlands. crops are rotated
only as chance determines, and prob
ably not one farmer in a hundred can
tell what enterprise on his farm and
under his conditions is the most profit
that men can be found with 100000
$4,000 or $4,000 investments who never
pretend to keep books of the business
Farmers books are too often kept in
this manner-gain, money in the bank;
loss, money borrowed. The writer once
argued this question of keeping books
with a Well-tO-dO American farmer, who
finally concluded his argument by say
ing, Farming amt all keeping books.
by a long shot Truth lies in the argu-
ment, but keeping books is not all there
is to manufacturing furniture or trans
porting freight, and yet it must be a
valuable accessory or it would have
been discarded years ago.
There are still thousands of farmers
in the middle west who do not follow
the markets, who rarely, if ever, stop
to consider the relation between prices
of feeds and prices Of beef and pork.
Hogs are fed because there is money in
hogs and many an operation on the
farm is done according to some precon-
ceived notion. The writer knows a
German farmer IN. western Minnesota
who has beautiful. clean farm, and is
evidently prosperous. While watching
him feed his hogs one day, this con-
versation took place: How old are those
pigs2 Sixteen months. Why don't
you sell themH Well I don't like to sell
a hog until he weighs UP good and

BERT WALKER. RADIc,AT.

II ; a somewhat chilly day When the
papers up in the Central Branch region
come out without taking a few falls
OUT OF the management of the Central
brahch railroad. It has got to the
point where free transportation does
not deter them from speaking out in
meeting using the transportation is
sometimes more of a penalty than a
pleasure.
A short time ago the editor of the
osborne Farmer, in taking his weekly
shot at the Central Branch, incidental
~ referred to the present board of
railroad commissioners as a Joke"
ana inumated in an ofhand manner
that 1t is owned soul and body by the
railroads" Whereupon the State Jour
nal inquired If Editor Walker is not
becoming somewhat radical regarding
the railroad commission.
Now the Farmer editor comes for
ward and not only pleads guilty to the
charge, but he voluntarily proves it
himself, and in closing his argument
says:
'The editor of the State Journal will
have to admit that it is the common
talk all over the state that the present
board of railroad commissioners is
owned BODY and soul by the railroads.
The way Commissioner Walker Sc
cured his nomination and election is
proof Of that proposition. The board
has got into the game q little lately
over the interior jobbing rates, but that
is about all The less said about the
present board the better"
Is it possible! Why, last year before
the election, when the State Journal
mildly suggested that Commissioner
Walker was nominated by railroad in
terests and would be favorable to the
railroads whenever possible, the To-
peka Capital and various other papers
that were tied up with the faction that
forced Walkers nomination, abused
the state Journal to the limit of their
ability for even suggesting the posi-
bility of such a thing. Now, at time
when it will do comparatively little
good, the Capital and others of these
same papers are scolding the railroad
board for doing just what it was ex-
pected to do. A good time to look
after the railroad board is at the
nominating convention and at the cleo
ton. The State Journal is glad to note
that the Osborne Farmer has made
this discovery.

..I,HE MOTHER OF IT.,

Perhaps you do not understand just
what that title means. but there are
few. persons who viii fail to grasp it
when they read a paragraph from a
Christmas letter by "Old Stormy" an
old Rocks county farmer in the Stock
ton Record. "Old Stormy" was for
years one of the few famous country
correspondents of Kansas newspapers
but he has not been working much at
it during the past year. He has a fac
ulty for saying things that go right to the
heart. Here is the paragraph from his
Christmas letter referred to:
IF there is ever a time in our lives
that we miss cur absent ones it is on
Christmas day. It is always under
stood that we will have our family re-
union that day. This year our Oldest
boy and youngest girl will not be with
US and the mothers heart viii miss
them, and she will have her quiet cry
all to herself, and then join the circle
with cheerful face, thinking the 9TH
ers will never guess that she had been
grieving. That is the mother of it. But
as I tell mother, that is just the way
she and I did, and our parents before
us, and we must expect our children to
do likewise. Yet we will try to gather
as many as possible that day at the
family board. There will be many fam
lily reunions that day"
