CURING BAD HABITS.
Try Lit.Ie Self Hypnotisr, On Your
Pet Weaknesses

Try Lit.ie Self Hypnotisrn on Your
Pet Weaknesses.
-~ In a large eastern city is a profcS'
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 II
unless il is n matter of self hypno-
tism." this professor once said. Il
simply observe the mind process Of the
man that drinks and advise him how
to reverse ii. The subconscious solil-
oquy III 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
| stood 1t 50 long. Wouldn't have
thought il possible And so on the
victim repeats TO himself on the prfn-
ciple that he needs this periodical
stimulant just as II is necessary to
heap coal on TO fire to keep IL 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 man repeat to himself
over and over again: I really don't
need this drink If take il. it's SIM
ply a matter of pouring so much down
my throat superhuously. 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 it: But If this self
hypnotism or whatever you choose to
call il is cure for intemperance why
IS it not equally a recipe for curing
other bad habits Chicago Tribune.

Gso-ge Barr McCutheon with his
new novel, "Her Weight In Gold, !" is
rivaling George AIDES Slim Princess.
1t Is a story of myth, and it leaves a
remembrance because of the impossi-
BILE situation. The contest of wits
between the young society s"ell who
is short on money and the aged parent

unattrac,ive as a skil!ful writer can
make her, is offered to the young man
by her father with the understanding
that he is to be paid for her weight in
gold. The young swell, while his
friends cannot understand his course,
announces his engagement to the young
woman and the wedding date is set,
but she suddenly has great illness
and typhoid fever causes her TO waste
away until she weighs less than hun
dred pounds on the day set for her
wedding. She insists on being married
III her sick room and the wedding GER
emony is performed with the husband
bemoaning his miserable bargain. Up
on her recovery she takes on flesh rap
idly until she becomes even more stout
than before and is so heavy that chairs
must be made especially to hold her,
ana in despair whenever he looks upon
her, realizing how much money he has
cruelty lost by her not having On the
weight at the time of the marriage, the
young husband decides to leave her
and to seek happiness in Alaska, but
the falher-in-law who is responsible
for his plight comes to his help, gives
him a great sum of money and the
husband chang his mind and finds
that with sufficient money 1t is easy
TO be happy with the most horrid of
looking creatures as better half.

"SINS OF THE FATHER"

A book which is absorbing more In
terest than any published recently Is
"Sins of the Father" by Thomas Dix
on, the author of The Cansman and
other popular novels, dealing with the
race situation in the Southland. "Thc
Sins of the Father" is another illustra-
ton of the call of the Beast through an
octoroon, 70 man of culture and great
ability. 1t is finely drawn story and
speaks of the real seat of trouble In the
race question as the relations existing
between the colored and white races.
Mr.. Dixon handles his difficult subject
with care and much reserve. An oc-
toroon becomes infatuated with q fine
character, a moulder Of public opinion,
and becomes determined to lead him
from his path of virtue, and the call
of the beast finally wins and then
comes the struggle for freedom, which
centers about fine young manhood,
and the power for evil Is shown In the
tragedy which brings the book to .,
close. Published by d. Appleton &

self by making Irish crochet lace al

the new patterns first by doing the

much more rapidly than il could Dc

The coarse lace made OF the wrap
ping cord Is used TO trim linen and

When she wishes to copy new pat

stitches can ,be-4couated without any
trouble or without danger of strainins
