Them?
Hope Farm exists to answer the
problem, and to help you in solving
it. Several patients have been cured
this year, and are earning their liv2s
instead of being a burden. Twenty
five more are at Hope Farm fighting
the battle with death. Several Or
ganizations have already recognized
the value of Hope Farm. and have
built or decided to build special
shacks as their gift to it. The cost
of these shacks is large, but they feel
that it is money well invested for the
future.
We do not ask of your organization
such largo gifts. But we do ask you

Supreme Court Renders Deci.
sion Against Jno. 7. Michel
in First of Eviction
Suits.

SultS.
A decision adverse to John T.
Michel, candidate for Governor,
in his test case against tenants
on his Chef Menteur, and, was
handed down by the State
Supreme Court on Monday,
Justice Land being the organ.
The snit was that of the Chef
Menteur Land Company against
J. A. Mercier ct ais. owing the
Happy Jack Fishing Club.
Camors, interested in the suit,
settled on the property over
thirty years ago. Mr.. Michel's
company, served notice that the
club must vacate or pay him q
rental at the rate of SIS a year.
The club refused and suit was
brought to evict them unless
they were willing to come across.
The club set up the plea that
Camors bad been on the property
over thirty years and could not
be dispossesed: The court held
the plea good and dismissed the
land eompany's various defences.
Justice Land said that the
Duf0ssat heirs once owned the
property under the Spanish
lands grants, but had not as.
serted ownership.
1t will be recalled that the
land was acquired by the
Dutoosat family under a Spanish
land grant over q hundred years
bef0rs Mr.. Michel purchased it.
The heirs, however, had never
placed the property on the
assessment rolls, paid no taxes
on it and asserted no ownership
Of It, and Mr.. Michel himself
held the sellers harmless and
evaded paying the State. and city
the usual three years back taxes.

Mr.. Michel. in digging around

these facts. Through Charles =.

SAYS SOUL WEIGHS
MORE THAN OUNCE
Eastern Scientist Says He Has
Watched Spirit Leave
Body.

BOSTON, Aug. 2.-Dr. Duncan Mac
Dougall, OF Haverhill, who has been
student OF physico- psychical phenom-
ena, declares his belief, In an inter
view published here, that the human
soul weighs from one-half ounce to
nearly an ounce and q quarter. and
further, that the soul substance Is
blended the pFetsPiasmH OF the
brain and spinal cord In life.
DR.. MacDougall says that. In q
dozen Instances, he has watched q
dying man or woman stretched on a
bed that was part OF a delicately ad-
tusted scale and has heard, as the
patients last sobbing breath burst
forth. the clang OF the dropping
weight Again, sitting In dark
ened room. he has watched a strong
ray OF pure white light rest along the
body OF dying man, covering him
like q silver bar from foot TO head
and over the face. AT the moment OF
the departure OF life DR.. MacDougall
says he and his assistants have made
the closest observation OF the bar of
light to see II that intangible soul
substance" passed from the body In
definite shape In cloud or In wayer-
ing tints.
He has also made precise observa-
lions TO learn, II possible, what color
the soul might assume, what space II
covered In relation TO the surface OF
the body and weather Is emanated
from the lips or from the head alone.
DIR. MacDougall bases his conclu.
sions on scientific facts and takes into
account nothing pertaining TO Spirit
ualism. He says:
The soul has q definite weight,
ranging from about three-quarters OF
an ounce to a little more than an
ounce. and In relation to hight, II Is
identical with the ether Of interstei-
lar space. These two things I have
proved TO my own satisfaction. For
this reason OF the identity OF the soul
