ring that wished to see Mr.. Tenn

to the old Dunsmeir library.
Templeton came forward, and
greeted me. His manner was re-
served and distant. His face was
even paler than usual, and his eyes
hooked tired and heavy.
"Mr. Ralph Dunsmeir desired
this meeting" he said, land if you
will pardon me shall see if he is
ready to receive you."
He went through the hall door,
and l took a seat near the library

my hand, "at Ardsley, old men, we

of the essential elements of what
the admen has to SELL Power of
suggestion has been found effective
in leading the insane to clearer
paths, but 1t is emphatically
denied that this is accepted as the
evidence that it is especially
adaptable to advertising men-or
the public. The admen want to
deal with you sanely and scientifi-

ART
Of SUGGESTION

When the representative of the
advertising department of Spo-
kane newspaper approaches you
by and by listen to him and watch
him closely. He'll be working the
power of suggestion on you on
strictly scientific lines. He's fun
of expert information on the sub
iect and ii he doesn't land you this
time it will be because you are
proof against applied science as
well as eloquence and argument.
And the same rule will apply to
the man who is writing the adver-
tisement to catch your eye-and
your patronage. II, on perusal, you
feel an unusually irresistible at
traction toward the bargains dis
played, the power of mental sug-
gestion will have you in it's grasp.
For the advertising men, having
explored every other nook of pos
sible effort in methods of getting
business, are now going to put on
the power of suggestion pressure.
At a meeting yesterday of the Ad-
mems league T. M. Keane and H..
r. Marshall were appointed a COM
mittee to ask DR.. 'Semple head of
the state insane asylum at Medical
Lake, to address the admen. Any
sorry wag pretending to discover
the enternai fitness of things in
the head of the asylum laboring
with admen is liable to a charge
of disorderly conduct. DR.. Semple
is to speak. If he will speak, on
Suggestion as Applied to Adver-
Using"
1t is not proposed that the ad-
men take a course at Dr. Semple's
institution--he is merely to tell
them how to project the suggestion
