WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN

Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
sex should write to Dr. Pierce and receive free the
advice of physician of over 40 years experience
"a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sscredly
confidential. Many senstively modest women write
fully to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
without ian examination. DIR. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations generally need

THE VANISHING DESERT.
Western Wastes Replaced BY Fields of
Golden Grain.

A quarter of a century ago any men,
ton of the great American desert call
ed up visions of a region of limitless
extent, sun-baked, parched and desc
late. A country associated always with
tales of suffering and death, of un-
friendly savages and deadly reptiles,
for years 1t was passed over by con-
gress as worthless. The marvellous
Transformation which has been wrought
in two decades in this land of silence
and sunshine furnishes one of the most
interesting and inspiring pages in the
annals of our republics development.
The great American desert is van
ishing from the map. Its boundaries
have shrunken and it no longer pre-
sents a formidable barrier to the
growth and progress of the far west.
Twelve million acres of this rainless
country have been subdued by means
of agriculture and irrigation and are
producing bountiful and assured har-
vests every year. A quarter of mil
lion families are residing on farms, and
as many more have found homes and
occupations in the cities, towns and
villages which have sprung up in the
midst of the agricultural areas.
Great dams have been constructed to
impound the floods and through 10000
miles of canals and bitches the life
giving water has been turned upon the
dusty desert The streams have been

POWER OF HYPNoTlSM.
Remarkable Cure Of a Persistent Case
of Hallucination.

Writing in the American Magazine
of the remarkable cures effected by
four great medical experts through the
means of hypnotism, H. Addington
Bruce describes case which was sue
cessfully treated by DR.. Pierre Janet,
the noted Partisan specialist:
The patient suffered from a per-
sistent hallucination of seeing a man
i'm the room with her. Her relatives
believed that she was insane and wish
ed to place her in an asylum. as she
occasionally manifested suicidal ten
denotes. But DR.. Janet diagnosed her
case as one of hysteria and with the
aid of hypotism made the interesting
discovery that the hallucinatory image
which she thought she saw was the
figure of lover who had deserted her
several years before. 1t appeared that
every time she thought of her faithless
sweetheart his image rose before her.
ITO Janet it seemed a perfectly SIM
pie matter to suggest away the hallu-
cination by impressing upon her dur
ing hypnosis the idea that when she
awoke she would no longer see the i'm
aginary form. But he found that for
some reason the suggestion would not
take Day after day he patiently
hypnotized her, always without sue
cess. Finally he began to suspect that
at bottom she did not want to be cured
and that the passionate desire to see
her lover. if only as a phantasm, con"
stituted too strong self suggestion to
overcome by direct attack Another
method would have to be tried.
Very well,' he one day said to her
while she was hypnotized, if YOU want
to continue seeing your lover you shall
see him. But, remember, you will al
ways see him with the head and face
of a pig
He then brought her out of the hyp-
motto sleep into her natural state. Five
minutes later she uttered a cry and
covered her eyes with her hands.
What is the natter inquired DR..
Janet calmly.
1T is terrible, Terrible she eX-
claimed. 1 see man standing in the

small beasts, which the fancy gentle
men of Mitcham, and other suburbs,
go hunting with their terriers on a
Sunday.
This Is not a fairy tale. The rat
catcher to the city of London is really
in the directory, and he does his work
exactly as I have described. l have
examined his books, and / have seen
that in some city restaurants, and res
taurants further west, along the line
of the river, he has caught as many
as 100 rats in one night and in some
city warehouses as many as 300 at
time. Londoners do not realize what
vast hordes of rats are Swarming in
the cellars and underground hiding
places of old streets and wharves. In
London there are scores Of thousands
,, of rats which hide by day and come
out only in the night When the Of
| fees are deserted and the warehouses
locked, and the last tram car has gone
home to the suburbs there is a greater
population of these verminous crea-
lures along certain lines of the city
than of human beings. The hungry
rats have a happy hunting ground
among the rubbish heaps and the re-
fuse of great city. 1t would be a
bad thing for London if it's rats be-
came infested with plague. The dan
ger of it makes one shudder!-London

harnessed for power, and an era Of
manufacturing is dawning in which all
of the raw products Of the farm, the
forests and the mines will be prepared
for the markets of the world. The
comforts and luxuries heretofore un-
known in agricultural regions already
are obtainable in many of the western
valleys. The farmer lights and heats
his home with electricity, and his heavy
work is done cheaply by the same po-
tent force. Trolley lines bring the farm
and town close together.
In a majority of the irrigated dis
tricts the farms are small-not more
than 40 acres each. With 16 to so farm
families to the square mile isolation Is
eliminated and life in the country be-
comes more nearly urban than rural.
While pioneering in this new country
calls for a good deal of grit and not
little hard work, the compensation is
sure and abundant. Carving out
home in the desert is no child's play;
it is a mans work, but there are few
places where nature responds more
quickly to intelligent industry than the
irrigated country.
On the government projects the past
year has been a conspicuously pros
porous one. The success of the aver
age farmer in many instances has been
remarkable. On several Of the projects
the crops on individual farms this year
have yielded enough to enable the
owners to repay to the government ev-
cry dollar of their obligations if they
were so inclined. AS the payments to
the government extend over period of
ten years, without interest, there is no
object in meeting the same in advance,
and most of the farmers, therefore, are
devoting their revenues to improving
their homes and in purchasing live
stock and implements.
One of the most interesting features
of the upbuilding of these new COM
munities is the large number of set
tiers who have come from the cities
and towns. Their success is all the
more notable because they had little or
no previous experience in farming, es-
pecially farming by irrigation. Under
these circumstances the call of the
open country is likely to appeal to 9TH
ers who have grown tired of the stress
and fume Of city life and never ending
struggle to make income and outgo
balance.
The west is filling up so rapidly and
the really choice locations are so few
that it is only a question of time now
when the increase of land values there
will make it as difficult for the poor
man to get foothold as it is today in
the east. Letters are pouring in to the
statistician of the reclamation service
at Washington, D. c.. for information
about the lands which are ready for
settlers on the several reclamation
projects Approximately 500 farms are
now open to entry under the home
stead act, with water ready for irrigat-
ing, in Montana, wyoming, South Da-
kota and oregon. Are you looking for
a home of your own?-Baltimore Sun.

boy pop out of a doorway in lower

carried a leather case and was in

How absurd said DR.. Janet.
After this he left her to her own
devices, no longer hypnotizing her.
For a few days she complained that
everywhere she went she saw the man
with the face of a pig. Gradually the
hallucinatory image faded and at
length entirely disappeared, leaving
her restored to perfect health. AS DR..
Janet afterward explained, the gro
tesque hallucination which he had sue
ceeded in impressing upon her had
brought about a profound revulsion of
feeling. Manifestly she could not love
a man with a pigs head. She no long
er wanted to see her sweetheart or to
think of him, and in proportion as she
ceased to think of him the hallucina-
tion disappeared"
