cuRlNo BAD HABITS.
Try Little Self Hypnotism on Your
Pet Weaknesses.

Try Little Self Hypnotism on Your
Pet Weaknesses.
In a large eastern city is n profess
sional hypnotist who has wide repu-
tation for curing the habit of intern
perance His method is dirt simple.
There is no real hypnotism about 1t
unless 1T is Il matter of self hypnO-
tism," this professor once said. II
simply observe the mind process of the
man that drinks and advise him how
to reverse it. The subconscious solil-
oquy in the mind Of the man that
drinks runs something like this:
When did have my last ball?
Whew! Long as that! don't see how
l stood it so long. Wouldn't have
thought it possible And so on the
victim repeats to himself on the prin-
ciple that he needs this periodical
stimulant just as it is necessary to
heap coal on 10 fire to keep 1t from
burning out. In a word. that man self
hypnotizes himself into the belief that
he needs Il drink.
My advice to cure this craving is
not to fight the appetite, but to fight
down the cause that leads to the ap-
petite Let Il man repeat to himself
over and over again: I really don't
need this drink. If take 1t, it's sim
ply matter of pouring SO much down
my throat sMpertluously. for could
get along Without Before long he
will be surprised how instead of hyp.
nothing himself into drink he will
hypnotic himself out of IT"
Simple, isn't 1t? But il this self
hypnotism or whatever you choose to
call it is cure for intemperance why
is it not equally recipe for curing
other bad habits?-C Chicago Tribune.

Lakes Of Blood.

The name Lake of Blood or its equiv
alcnt has been given to places as far
apart as England and South America.
"Sanguelac"-i. e., the Lake of
Blood-was the name given by the vic
torious Normans to the battlefield ut
Hastings. where the Saxons were over
thrown ard slain with terrible carnage.
For similar reason Lake Trasimene
has borne the name "Sanginetto" be-
cause its waters were Redeemed during
the second Punic war by the blood Of
some $4,000 Romans who fell before
the troops of Hannibal.
Yet another Lake of Blood, called
also "Yaguar Cocha," is situated in
the state of Ecuador. 1t is one of Il
series of lakes formed by the extinct
rr;,tcrs of volcanoes on the towering
heights of the Andes range of mouE-
