HAS SLEEP CURE FOR SIN
New Jersey Clergyman Says Wives
Can Keep Husbands Home
by Using II.

Newark. n. 1.-THE sleep cure is
the latest discovery IN the realm
O. mental suggestion. Just who dis.
covered it has not been revealed. but
Its marvellous powers were described
by the Rev. Henry G. Rose. rector OF
the Church OF the Redeemer. or
course, sleep itself helps to refresh
tired mortals, but the Rev. Mr.. Rose
said that by mental suggestion. when
the subject is asleep. husbands can
be cured of vice. crimes can be pre-
vented and bad habits of children
removed. AS an instance of the
power of mental suggestion when the
subject Is asleep. the clergyman
cited the case OF woman who cured
goins to his club.
AS described by the Rev. Mr.. Rose,
the sleep cure is based on a simple
theory. He said that while the con-
scious self is asleep the sub-conscious
self is awake. In fact. II never sleeps
All wife has to do is to sit by her
husbands bed and appeal to the
wideawake sub-conscious self to
make the husband good. The clergy
man said he and the Rev. Elwood
Worcester, rector of the Emmanuel
Protestant Episcopal Church of Bos-
ton, experimental on about 100 chill
dren of depraved minds, and that
thirty-five were cured entirely. forty
five were helped materially. and that
the treatment failed only in twelve
cases.
In describing the case OF the wo-
man who tried the sleep cure on her
husband and thereby stopped him
from neglecting his home for his
club, the clergyman said that the
wife sat by her husbands bed and
told him that the next night he
would not go to his club to drink and
carouse. but. that he would come
home, have a good dinner and spend
the evening with her.
The next day the husband came
home as his wife said he would" the
Rev. Mr.. Rose asserted. He forgot
his club and soon, after persisting in
the treatment, the wife cured him
entirely. If such treatment is bene-
fetal to the husband it will be good
for wives, too. They might be kept
from extravaganza in dress and
many unhappy homes might be
Frightened"
