So much for what we are trying to
do In utilizing our public lands for
water, the forage, the coal and the
timber for tho public. In all four
movements my chief adviser, and the
man first to suggest TO me the courses
which have actually proved so bcneti-
cial, was Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, tho Chief
OF the National Forest Service. Mr..
Pinchot also suggested to me q move-
ment supplementary to all OF those
movements: one which Will itself lead
which he. represents, and With Which
he Is actively Identified, for the con-
seryat!on OF all our natural resources.
This was the appointment Of tho In

pointed out, there are some respects
in which men are obviously not equal;
but there is no reason why there should
not BIO an equality of self-respect and
OF mutual respect, an equality of rights

AUTO HYPNOTISM.
History Of Strange Case That esf-
files Saginaw Doctors.


Saginaw physicians are completely
baffied by the case of a 16-year-old
boy in st. Mary's hospital who has
been in deep sleep for three weeks
Following year of strange hallucina-
tons. The boy belongs TO a prominent
family and his identity is being kept
secret, but his case is being watched
by physicians and specialists in Bay
City, Saginaw and Detroit.
DR.. Nj. r. Bradley, the physician in
charge, says it has been diagnosed as
auto-hypnotism. The history OF the
case is as follows:
one year ago the boy, then 10 years
OF age. became the victim of the hal
lucination that his room was haunted.
1t is related that for weeks he did not
close his eyes in sleep. Each night at
varying hours. he said. a woman en-.
tered his room carrying a satchel. She
would look at him. then turn around,
put down the satchel and walk out
again.
The boy was a strong, healthy lad
when he first became the victim of
this Dhantasy. He had no known bad
habits, did not smoke cigarettes and
was an average boy in his pasumes.
But he gradually lost flesh and three
weeks ago he suddenly passed into a
cataleptic state.
Respiration and pulse practically
ceased and he was TO all appearances
dead. He remained in this condition
for two days under the constant care
OF DR.. Bradley and when he was final
ly reused slightly his mother said:
Did you know that DR.. Bradley had
been here, dear?"
Yes, and the undertaken, too; l
know that ! am dead
Then he went TO sleep again. Since
that time the delusion that he is dead
has never left the boy. At times he
can be aroused little for a moment
or two and he invariably walls:
81 am dead; | am dead"
His body is perfectly rigid and will
remain in any position in which il IL
placed. The hands will remain open
or closed the arms outstretched or
folded; his eyes open and staring or
closed as may be. He is given very
little nourishment as he cannot be
awakened long enough to get him 10
take food.
The physicians who are watching
describe the condition as suspension
of voluntary motion and sensibility.
The respiration is down TO less than
four per minute and the pulse very
low, while the body is cold and when
touched has the feeling of dead flesh.
One physician who says he observed
over 10000 cases Of nervous trouble
in a Chicago hospital practice, says
that he never saw one such as this.
1t is the general opinion of the medical
men that If the boy should recover his
physical condition, his mind will be
completely wrecked.
