 Prof Hugo Munsterberg of liar yard declares that he has cured scores of drunkards through hypnotic suggestion and declares that psy- chOlOgy can cure the diseases that arise in the mind.

The national association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis says it is not difficult to cure con- sumption in it's early stages, but it is impossible to effect a cure in the lat ter stages of the disease, and, consc- Quently, these cases should be re moved or isolated in their homes n order to prevent the infection of per sons living with them But they can not be removed or isolated unless hospitals are provided for that pur- pose. and with this end in view a campaign to secure more accommo- dations for advanced cases of tuber- culOsis is being carried on qll over the country. When enough beds are provided it is estimated that the death rate from consumption will be cut in half and there will be an an nual saving to the country of 1O0,- GOO lives.

Speaking of the inauguration of President-elect Taft, a Washington writer has the following to say: rn- official Washington Is much interest ed in the preparation for tho in- auguration, now but little more than three months off. The work appears to be going on very successfully. A large sum of money for incidental expenses has been subscribed, the manager of the inauguration has been appointed-a well known bust ness man-and he has appointed a treasurer, a secretary and an advis- ory committee with numerous assist ants. The ceremony and the pageant are of course brief. The events are all confined within twenty-four hours, but when it is considered that the city is visited on the 4th of March every four years by from 150,00G to 100000 people; that these have to be accommodated with bed and board and temporary seats protected from the weather, or otherwise, from which to view the great civic and sary for the police force to be grea>- ly strengthened by special appoint ments; that detectives have to be summoned from other cities to look out for the purses and jewelry of those who are careless or drunk; that a great hall has to be secured and decorated for the inaugural ball, with hat rooms. cloak rooms, refresh- ment rooms and with many other de- tails, the agitation and interest ln the celebration as affecting the deni- zens of Washington will be appre- ciated. Every four years the capital becomes more and more capable of receiving a transient population near ly equal in number to it's permanent inhabitants. Since last inaugural tion the new union station mas been completed It is one of the largest and finest terminals in the world. being greater in length and breadth, though not so high as the Capitol of the United States. No matter how hn ho station in it's immense eXpanSe will much more comfortably receive the masses of visitors than the two sra- tions which it has superseded. The motel, boarding house and apartment house capacity of the city nas also been greatly increased, but in aEtici- patton of the inauguration the city is even at this early day showing an increase in transient population. The hotels are well filled and there are not so many houses for rem aS is usual at the beginning of winter. Five large government buildings, the new offices of the senate, the new Of fees of the house of representatives the new agricultural department, the new National museum and the new district building, have been recently or nearly completed. The inaugural ball will probably be held in the great court of the pension office
 where, ever since the first inaugura- tion of Cleveland, these balls have been held. There is movement afoot to build so-called convention hall which it is intended shall be used for inaugural balls in the fu- ture.
