| necessity for the southern states to prop erly advertise their splendid resources | among the dissatisfied farmers and others of some of the western states who are
 moving into Canada, and among the better class of emigrants who are arriving
 in this country in constant stream. Something has been done in this line and the results have Justified the effort,
 but not nearly enough has been done.
 Canada, Australia and the other great British colonies in need of population carry as much advertising in the British newspapers as do the great commercial
 houses, and they have official agents in
 England and Scotland to supplement the newspaper advertising with personal eff fort. Canada also advertises in the American papers which circulate among
 the population she seeks to attract and 1t pays her. Many of the fast growing western states, California for instance, spends
 a great deal for advertising and the
 recent census figures show the results. Most of the advertising of the south's resources is done by the railroads. Two
 instances have recently come under my observation.
 The land and industrial department of the Southern and Mobile and Ohio has just issued a booklet entitled '.Missis- sippi" for distribution among prospective homeseekers in the north and west. The agricultural and forest resources of Mississippi and the opportunities in gener- al farming, stock raising, fruit and veget- able growing that await the settler, as we'll as the many advantages offered for various branches of manufacturing in the
 many prosperous cities and towns, are
 treated exhaustively. The volume Is the second in a series on the different states
 traversed by the Southern and affiliated
 lines.
 The law and industrial department of the Southern and the Georgia Southern
 and Florida, has issued a handsome and
 we'll illustrated booklet, descriptive of the agricultural resources and products of Georgia for distribution in the north and west in the work which these railroad companies are doing in the effort to at- | tract desirable settlers to the south
 through the explorations of it's advan- tages and opportunities.
 It is the third in a series on the diff
 
 and affiliated lines. These booklets are for circulation in the south but will be given wide distribution in sections
 where it Is believed the greatest good can be done.
 This is good so far as it goes, but the states themselves should take hand in this matter. The state which will under
 take comprehensive advertising cam paign under the direction of an expert in the business, who is also an enthusiast as to the goods he is advertising, is go-, ing to find it. the best paying invest ment it ever made
 There are some things it's a sin to talk about to the southern exiles in New York. For instance: Hog jowl and COW peas formed an appropriate New Years dish for the people of Atlanta, and an At lanta paper broke forth into a paean of pea praise, which provokes Norfolk paper to say:
 Mighty good eating, brother, we,avow, But it doesn't stand ace high to a din ner of hog jowl, turnip tops and the corn dumplings, with an old-fashioned Virginia bag pudding on the side Such feast would make the mouth of Epicu- rus water and Lucullus weep with envy" Such talk is provocative of nostalgia in its worst form and should be prohibited 'In the development of the southwest" says c. N. Stilwell of San Antonio. Tex, which has been likened to the dramatic growth of the west, women are playing a prominent part.
 ITO three Texas widows belongs much Of the credit for the greater growth of San Antonio, and another Texas widow has done much to establish the onion in- dustry, which brought the growers in | l. Is~&- -to4 $l. .000,000 in profits last year.
 These four widows continued MT. Stillwell, Tit Is estimated, are worth at least SIG, ,000, 900, and they have been poten- tial factors in the growth of the city and section. Out of their fortunes they have constructed great hotels and office build ings and perfected estates that are rapid ly growing in wealth.
 These four widows are Mrs. Roxena Gunter. Mrs. c. Bedell Moore, Mrs. Eliz- ebeth Kampmann, and the Texan onion queen, Mrs. Edwards Callahan Dodd They are all widows of wealthy cattle men, their husbands having died just prior to the era of development that has been producing such great results in both the city and country districts of my state"
 At last the Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde present in each of us are to be made to agree and the nervous diseases which result from the conflict of these dual per- sonalities are to be eliminated. At least that Is the hope of the very able scien- lists in charge of the Psycmatric clinic just established by the gift of a half- million dollars from Henry Phipps, the steel magnate. There will be thorough psychoanalysis, through the study of the conscious ego direct and of the uncon- scious ego through dreams.
 It has long been asserted by physicians that every person has the two person. | alities referred to-the conscious and the unconscious. Upon this hypothesis is | based what is regarded as a revolutionary method in the treatment of nervous dis | eases which was conceived by pr. Sig mund Freud of Vienna. Dr. Freud states his belief that one personality exists in sphere of activity distinct from that of the other. In everyday life he is con- vinced that one personality is ignorant of the workings of the other, yet both | affect the mind of the individual. When the conscious personality wishes for or hopes for anything the mind knows 1t at once and the wish or hope is at once satisfied, but when the unconscious per sonality has a desire the mind knows nothing of it and there results tho in- | voluntary spirit of unrest known as ner- vousness. l
 Among scientists working upon the theory 1t is an axiom that 'every state of nervousness denotes something lacking | by the unconscious personality" and 1t is | to raise this boycott upon the unconscious personality that Dr. Freud has been working, for he believes the removal of the discord will result in the relief of the | nervousness. Consequently he has adopt | ed method of treatment which he calls | psychoanalysis or 'sout analysis
