THE GREAT PSYCHOLOGICAL
CRIME. Indo-American Book Co., ~
North Kedzie avenue, Chicago Price
SEQ.
This book. when it came from the
press. encountered more opposition
flom the millions of spiritualists in the
world, than all other books written
upon this subject.
This criticism was fierce and vindic-
tive. and every epithet in the English
language was hurled at the author,
who was then, and is now, unknown to
the world, except by the very few, who
quickly recognized in its marvellous
statements the spiritual "mastership"
of one of those wise men" whom eY-
cry profound thinker in all ages be-
lieved existed somewhere in the world.
The book. contains 400 pages, and is
divided into forty chapters. Part one
concerns Modern HypnOtism." The
author in the 12S pages devoted to this
subject, clearly demonstrates his abso-
lutte and complete 'mastership'' of this
absorbing subject, upon which schools
have been founded, and on which from
every university liz the land (while
bIindly cropping III the dark professors

their theories and deductions. In order
that there may be no uncertainty or
Misunderstanding OF terms, the author
clearly defines every proposition as 10
their definite and specific meaning, and
then agrees in advance that whatever
may be the readers present convic-
tions, no motion will be made for a
change of venue or appeal from the
public decision of the readers of this
book
The author then proceeds to define
''What Is HypnOtism. which. he says
''ls the process by and through which
one person-called a hypnotist-ob-
tains. holds and exercises control OF
the will, voluntary powers and sensory
organism Of another person-called q
hypnotist."
He then in no uncertain terms
throws down the gage of battle, fol
ne says: whoever shall venture &C
enter the arena, must be prepared tC
receive or parry blows and thrusts Of
many assailants, for it is safe to pre-
dict that he will be compelled either IL
defend himself or retreat; for the hosts

by the most marvellous logic to analyze

matter, the spiritual and the physical,
and their INTERPOLATION to each other.
Describes the dissolution of the min

titles. The duration of time of exist

Men, women and children upon the
spiritual planes of life appear to pos

which they were invested at the time
of physical dissolution"

He fully and comprehensively ex-
plains "the constructive principle of

struction of the spirit, and apparently
a resolution back into its original eie-
ments.
For fifteen chapters, by the most re-

When the mercury drops little low
er each night and we SILVER at the
nipping frost of early morning, cold
ready-to-eat cereals somehow lose their
attraetiveness and we yearn for hog
and hominy,'@ buckwheat cakes and
all sorts OF hearty foods The advent
of steady cold weather makes such
foods possible, but in planning for

The very heavy breakfast OF a gen.

many homes the light continental meal

serentary lives, but for the outdoor

Of necessity.
The American breakfast consists of
fruit, cereal, usually served with
cream or silk, a dish of meat or its
equivalent, potatoes in some form, hot
bread and coffee.
Fresh fruit is not always attaina-
bic in winter. There even comes the
time when apples are gone and re-
course must be had-as must occur at
intervals through the winter-to the

use whatever. They seem utterly un-
able to keep their hands of of things
that do not belong to them. Their
bump" of accumulation seems to have
been abnormally developed. Persons
of affluence are often affected with
this disease, for such 1t seems to be.
The writer once knew a wealthy far
mer who was afraid to go to town
unguarded for fear he would steal
some article and be imprisoned for
theft. He seemed conscious of the
wrong but unable to resist any tempta-
ton. For such there seems to be only
one hope-keep them entirely away
from temptation.
Parents who encourage children to
steal should be deprived of their chill
dren. There are some who even force
children. under fear Of punishment, to
steal. Such should receive whatever
punishment that Is doled out for they
are really the guilty ones.
Education is the best safeguard
against becoming a criminal and every
parent should put forth every effort
to give the children a good, liberal
education. Our state Is doing much
in this direction and parents should
take every advantage afforded by the
state to make better citizens OF their
children.
The percentage of bad boys is not
nearly as great in the country as In
the city, SO that children who are
raised on the farm should not be in
too great hurry to get into the city,
where environments are often of the
very worst.
Talk to your boys. Show them the
folly of evil ways and take, at least,
as much interest in your boys as you
do in your colts and calves. 1t pays

M!N0I WINS born
High School Basket Ball Teams.
Defeat Harvey in Well
Played Games.

Minot N. D., Feb. 19.-The Harvey
high schol basket ball team went down
to decisive defeat before the Minot
teams in two well-played games.
The girls game was called first and
was the exciting contest of the even
ing. The teams were evenly matched
and every member was up and In the
game all the time. The girls played
with a snap that is seldom seen In
amateur teams and the final score Of
2 to in favor of the local team tells
the story of a we'll fought battle.
The Minot boys proved too much
for the visitors and from the very
first moment of the game 1t was evil
dent that Harvey was outclassed. The
Minot boys played a swift and heady
game, while the visitors seemed to
smash away at random, not knowing
where the ball would go and the ad-
junct of team work was not on their
calendar. The score at the end of the
first half was % to 1 in favor of Min6t
and the second half terminated just
as disastrously for the visitors, the
final score being IS to 3.

FARM, HOME AND SCHOOL
MORE BAD BOYS THAN BAD GIRLS.

Under the above caption in one or
our leading dailies with a daily cir
culation of over 10000, we find briet
discussion and summing up about as
follows:
THE bad boy is in terrible ma
jority." "The cigaret is pointed at as
means of starting boys to other Of
fenses." Another reason given for the
larger number of bad boys is the old
custom of locking up boys for their
first offense
The public school is given as the
greatest help in keeping girls from
being bad
Statistics from the childrens court
in New York City showed there were
1905 boys and only 121 girls paroled
that petty larceny showed the great
est number of offenses, there being
over 25 per cent of the boys and
little more than 10 per cent of the
girls guilty of this offense. There
were the same number of girls COM
mitted for grand larceny as for petty
larceny, while there were less than
one-third the numberrof boys COM
mitted for grand larceny. No girls
committed for burglary or assault,
while there were a number of boys
guilty of the former and about per
cent of the total criminals guilty OF
the latter.
These statistics furnish food for the
mind Of the reformer. Stealing be-
ing the offense committed most fire.
quently by both boys and girls it is
evident We must seek the cause and
remove it.
Theft comes from one of several
causes Want often causes one to
commit theft to relieve one of hunger,
cold or some embarrassment. To that
class we must furnish needed employ
ment so that they are not reduced to
beggary and compelled to steal. More
often petty theft comes from a lack
of proper training. A child does not
fully realize the danger of small
theft leading to greater ones; it has
not learned to make fine distinction
between the right of ownership and
right of possession. 1t goes on the
principle that possession Is nine points
of law. 1T sees no serious wrong In
taking some small valueless article
that 1t happens to want, and thus the
small theft, like the small drink, grows
into stronger habit for stronger
things. We must point out to such
children the extreme danger of the
minutes thievery and remove tempta-
ton as far as possible.
There is class of thieves by them
selves known as kleptomaniacs who
have a morbid desire to steal. Often
persons affected with this disease will

FARM HOME ECONOMICS.

In last weeks issue we discussed
kitchen economics. We propose IN
this issue to go into other parts of
the home to cut down expenses. Per-
haps there is no one item of expense
that requires so much attention in
this northern country as the heating
problem.
First of all one must build colu-
Portable house if he would have cont
fort and save fuel. A little more es-
pense and care in building will make
great saving for all time to come.
1t pays to put in full basement with
walls properly built with air spaces
and plastered we'll, clear to the floor.
We believe that the proper plan of
heating the home is from the base
ment and that instead Of buying ex-
pensive and ornamental coal stoves
that box stove at about one-fourth
of the expense of a coal stove can be
used more effectually in the basement.
Then, too, by having full basement,
the fuel can be kept in the basement
where it is free from snow and the
washing can be done in the basement,
thus always preventing the steam and
muss in the kitchen.
The writer during this winter up
to February Is, has used only about
$4,000 worth of coke and pea-coal for
heating purposes. We keep all rooms
and basement warm in seven room
house. The floor is always warm, a
matter of much Importance towards
comfort. OF course, we have steam
heat and the installing of steam
heating plant is no small expense, yet
when comfort is considered it is a
matter OF economy after all. Storm
doors, sheds and windows afford much
protection and should be placed upon
every house in this climate in the best
manner possible.
The past winter has convinced many
of the Importance Of studying the fuel
question closely. The kind of stove
and the kind of fuel is not everything.
One must study the manner of getting
the best results without letting the
greater part of the heat pass out of
the chimney. This feature of heat
economy needs more careful consid-

more to the health of the family than

PLAN A TOURNAMENT
Westhope Already Starting
Things for Seasons
Baseball.

Westhope, N. D., Feb. 19.-The base
ball committee held meeting and
elected Secretary Neville as chairman
of the board of directors. It was de-
cided to have season of three months
consisting of May, June and
July and to extend the season a couple
of weeks longer If necessary. It was
also decided to hold a baseball tourn-
ament three days in June, the 18th,
18th. and 18TH. Last years tourna-
ment was success in every way and
the committee will endeavor to make
this one still better. Different play
ers are being correspondent with as to
terms, and good team will be ready
to begin practice work as.soon as the
season opens up.

order to be. sure of getting pure water
for drinking punpoees.

OlNcI " Wos6uT6 OI SolLluR pure water
for drinking purposes.
A good cistern is great conven-
fence as much of the we'll water is
too hard to use for cleansing pur-
poses and wholly unfit to drink. A
good cistern will soon save its cost
in doctors bills to say nothing Of the
many other comforts 1t adds to the
home. BY building water filter in
connection with the cistern pure water
may be had at small expense. Then
by using the ice put up during the
winter months cool, refreshing drink
may always be had.
Trees should be planted about every
farm house for protection from storms
and cold winds in winter and for pro-
lection from hot sun and dry winds
in summer. While many farmers
have planted artificial groves there
are still many who have given this
matter no attention.

recently notified of an increase in the
cost of paper of % per cent, effective
