SOME FORMS OF HYPN0TISM

While Others Have A Flavor

HypnOtizng a hen Is a trick known
to most country boys. 1t Is an old
experiment. first described by the Je-
suit Father AthnnuSius Kircher, who
laid hen on the table. held II firmly
for little while. and drew chalk
line in front of It's eyes, with the re-
suit that II remained MS If in catalepSy.
In India il Is known that cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain so
for considerable time. either cOiled

II the bride Is one Of those who
likes to be conservative In the styles
selected for her gown and veil she
nay wear the veil as shown In the
oicture. The wreath Is arranged In
the fashion of coronet and the veil
envelops the figure. Other styles
may come and 60. but this one goes
on forever. Perhaps that Is because
the wreath suggests u crown and be-
cause the arrangement of II Is almost
universally becoming.
For the bride who decides that
something new suits her personality
better or Is better suited to the sort
of wedding she elects to have, there
are many piquant und novel ways for
mounting the wedding veil. In nearly
all of them little cars Of lace support
the tulle. but there are cups of tulle,
caps of pearl beads, or even hats or
tulle. from which the veil, always am
ple, floats about the figure. One Of
the prettlest diapes mas Il little close

Army Grows It's Potatoes.

The British army has started to
grow its own potatoes. Instructions
have been sent, or are being sent, from
the war office to every command. indl-
eating the lines which should be fol-
lowed.
Military requirements are very large,
and little more than half the usual
supplies of potatoes are coming into
the markets, with the result that pre-
war prices to the public are nearly dou-
bled.
At one camp in Surrey digging opera
tions began recently, and the seed po-
tatoes are TO be planted in few days
In rows between the huts. A number
of men are being told Off each day for
digging, and others are being asked to
help In spare time. At camp In
Yorkshire potato growing began some
weeks ago. 1t is understood that instruc-
tons will soon be issued for the grow
Ing of vegetables.

steadily increased. If the price
of newsprint paper is to be kept
at reasonable figure, say the ex-
perts, more efficient methods Of
converting spruce into pulp must
be developed or cheaper woods
substituted for it.
The bulletin goes on to say that
the method of manufacturing
groundwork pulp has changed
very little since its introduction
into this country in 1867. 1t was
with the idea of developing new
methods and improving the old
that tests were undertaken at the
Forest Service laboratories at
Wausau and Madison, Wis. AS
result, the relation of the differ
ent steps in the manufacturing
process to each other has been
definitely established and the
merits of each treatment determ-
ined. The paper made from new
woods was given a practical try
out by two large newspapers with
satisfactory results.
The tests showed that eleven
new woods give promise of being
suitable for the production of
news print paper, while number
OF others will produce manila pa
per and boxboards. Most of these
woods are confined to the West,
while the groundwork industry
now obtains the bulk of its raw
material from the East. 1t is
thought that pulp-making plants
must eventually move to points
where they can obtain a plentiful
supply of wood and an abundance
of cheap water-power, two prime
requisites in the business.
The experts say that because
the National Forests contain i'm
mense quantities of the suitable
woods and abundant opportuni-
ties for power development, they
will undoubtedly play an import
ant part in the future of the
wood pulp industry.

Maternal Responsibility

The movements of the State
Health Train through Florida
with its splendid equipment, are
producing results educationally
much surprising the sangune an
ticipations OF its promoters. The
novelty, as well as the usefulness
of this unique school on wheels
attracts the attendance of almost
the entire population in the cities
and villages where it stops, and
no town is too small to be made a
stopping place.
Not only are the representa-
tives of the State Board of Health
who accompany the train, sowing
seeds that unqueStionably will
bring fruitful results, but they are
uncovering abysses of ignorance
regarding health matters that
seem little short OF startling. A
recent experience is related some
what as follows;
A lady among the visitors to
the train watched closely a slide
on the acknowledgement, which
showed various articles of food,
such as meats, fruits, beer, coffee
and wateI7nelons and other ar
ticles for "grown-up' use, and
read beneath the legend: "Thesc
are not intended for babies to
eat"
Her supe~cilious comment was
az give my babies these things
give 'em anything they want"
A loca J physician replied:

to eat such things, they would

great factor in preventing sick
ness and disease and conserving
life, producing effects and ae.
complishing results little short OF
miraculous. 1t was recently dis
covered that these bacteria thrive
best in pineapple juice, and il
was for the purpose of purchas-
ing a large supply of this product
that brought Mr.. Sacky here.
A meeting of the board of di-
fectors was called and Mr.. Sacky
offered to purchase 800 gallons of
juice daily to start on and later
would probably want 1000. An
attractive price for the juice de-
livered f. o. b. in New York in
barrels was offered. The direct
ors adjourned to confer with the
individual growers. 1t was de-
cided to accept the offer.
A plant, with a capacity of
pressing 1000 gallons daily, will
be ordered and installed immedi-
ately SO as to get ready for bust

Government Makes Paper From

Washington-That satisfactory
wood pulp can be made from a
number of heretofore little known
woods is evidenced by a govern
ment publication just issued,
which contains seventy samples
of paper manufactured by differ

heretofore practically unused for
this purpose.
1t is pointed out that the spruce

the woman left, evidently surpris-
ed at the ignorance of the doctor.
If proof were needed of the
fact that some women have not
the right to be mothers it is sup
piled here. An all-wiSe Provi-
dence has conferred upon woman
the wonderful privilege of mater
nifty, with all its anguish and re-
sponsibilities, but it offsets these
with a capacity for loving that
raises the mother to a place al
most divine. And yet, in view
of such ignorance as that shown
by this Florida mother, is it any
wonder that twenty babies of ev-
cry hundred born in the United
States, die before they are a year
old, that One-fourth are gone be-
fore the fifth year, and that from
one-half to three-quarters of the
children in the public schools are
physical defcients9
Every child has the inherent
right to a fair start in life, of
clean, healthful parentage. Every
child has the right to proper nour-
ishment, clothing and protection
until he reaches the years of dis
erection and self-support. He has
the right to demand of his parents
the exercise of the highest wis
dom in the care given him. Be-
cause a baby wants" certain
thing to eat is no reason why he
should have it. He might "want"
to touch redhot stove because
its bright color attracts him, but
the mother who would permit it
is criminal
Too often children are not

are regarded as nuisances; they
are neglested and abused by will
full ignorance and their progress
toward manhood and womanhood
is made a thorny way.
In the matter of feeding, young
animals are guided and protected
by an instinct that is vastly super
ior to the wisdom of many moth
erS.
The summer in Florida, as in
every other section, is particular
ly hard and trying on young chill
dren. 1t is a season that brings
larger risks of intestinal troubles,
as result of improper feeding,
and with babies whose power of
resistance is much below that of
grown ups, the progress of disor-
ders is quick and severe. The
choice of food for young children
cannot be too carefully watched
and even the times of feeding
should be fixed and invariable. 1t
is impossible to indicate general
directions for the care of the ba-
by, and it is the province of the
physician to advise in individual
eases.
The mother who forgets for a
moment that her baby is human
with an immortal soul, that it is
entitled to the best she can give it,
that her highest mission in the
world is to bring it to a perfect
or womanhood, mental
and physical, has not the right to
motherhood.-State Board of
Health Bulletin.
