HYPN0TISM FOR THE AILINe


DR.. Bertillon of Paris asserts that
psychotherapia, or soul-culture, is the
medicine Of the future.
He does not put his patients into
hynotic frances. but places them in
an environment which creates an ap-
petite for sleep. He invites them to
repose on their beds and think Of
nothing. Then he leaves them, and
they gradually succumb to the tick
tack Of a metronome.
When a patient is in a hypnotic
slumber. II 1t Is desired that he shall
be cured Of tendency to excessive
indulgence in alcohol. the psychother-
apist suggests to him that he cannot
raise a glass Of absinthe to his lips.
and repeats the suggestion until the
prohibition is 50 engraved upon the
brain that II the patient would he
could not do 80.
DR.. Bertillon is frequently consulted
by those who have had unhappy love
affairs, and 1t is said that through hyp-
notism they obtain release from their
unreQuited passion.

ficatlon Of Size.

Big! It is said that the soil that
produces big crops is found where big
men abound. After all bigness is
something Of which every one is
proud. California boasts of its big
trees, Oregon and Washington of their
big apples, Texas Of its big territory,
Oklahoma Of its big oil wells, Colorado
Of its big mines. New England of its
big mills. Alabama of its big iron de-
posits, Pennsylvania of its big steel
industry and New York of its big
banks. Everywhere bigness is the boast
Of civilization. Nations vie with each
other to command the biggest part Of
the worlds trade. In this great strug-
gle for commercial supremacy the
United States, during the past decade,
has been among the foremost because
Of its big men in the industrial. the
railway and professional fields. The
product Of this bigness of men
has been a big country with big
wages. Let us stop caviling and
finding fault. Let us put and end to
busting and smashing. and give the
widest opportunity for individual ef-
fort Encourage bigness of the fac
tory and the pay envelope alike. Give
big brains a chance, whether in bank,
counting room or workshop. Bigness
