A, Streator, Ill
IIYPNoT1sM Is an estab-
n lished fact, but the ex-
i = PLANTATION Of It is still more
or less obscure. It Is recognized
by high authorities as q valuable
method of treatment in disorders
that are subject to mental infu-
ence, but great caution and expert
knowledge are required in order
to render its employment safe.
No person should ever submit
to hypnotic influence except under
the advice Of q regular physician
Of the highest standing, and at the
hands of q practitioner concerning
whose motives and capability there
can be no question. Amateur ex-
Fermentation with this strange
power is perilous and should al
ways be avoided.
There Is undoubtedly c great
amount Of quackery abroad in con-
neetion with hypnotism, and while
/ believe that it Is capable Of rem
dering immense service to man
kind, yet II is still but partially
developed as a subject Of scien-
tiic study, and the number Of
those who can be trusted to apply
It, as we'll as the number of ac-
credited physicians who would
even undertake to apply it, is
small. But this is not 10 say that
its methods when fully developed
and understood may not become
very important branch Of medical
practice.
1t has been proved that the hyp-
motto state can be induced in tie
majority Of persons who willingly
submit to it, but 1t Is doubtful
whether any person can be hypno-
tized against his will. A state Of
complete confidence between the
operator and the patient must be
established as . preliminary. That
being done, it is said that hardly
10 per cent Of those experimental
upon prove refractory to hypnotic
influence.

7 7 SUALLY people who get
rich suddenly buy q big
~ house and stueeo their
walls all over with expensive pic
lures in heavy gold frames, and
then never think anything more
about them.
THEY don't want PICTURES.
Then there's another kind of
rich person who PATRoNlzES
art. He buys lots Of pictures to
help along the artists. He buys
the artist-not the artists pic
tureS.
When he gets the pictures he
puts them up in the attic or some
where! Anyway, they disappear.
He doesn't want PICTURES!
Another rich type Collects" pic
lures.
He buys only very old master
pieces by authenticated, acclaimed
and famous DEAD artists, and he
LIKES To pay for their authentic
acclaimed FAME. He doesn't
want the PICTURES.
They Have Thirst and
Taste for Art, and Small
Apartments.
The people who want PIC
TURES-the largest class Of Peo-
pie who WANT them, are the peo-
ple Of moderate means-who have
not 50 much money that they have
lost their thirsts and their tastes.
Too much money swAmps these
faculties. But to really get fun
out Of life you have to have thirst
and taste-and to really want pic
lures, you have 10 have thirst and
taste for them. Il you have an at
tractive small house or apartment,
and you belong TO the kind Of peo-
pie I am thinking of-you would
give almost anything to be able to
have certain kinds Of pictures on
your walls. You would really
LOVE them and enjoy them. You
would have a thrill Of delight each
time your eyes fell on the pictures
wouldn't you?
Well, you see, you are the people
the artists are painting for!
To sell pictures to rich patrons
and have them disappear isn't very
gratifying.
But you can't afford to buy these
pictures, can you? So where are
the most Of the artists pictures?
I'll tell you! MOST Of them are
either in the rich mans attic or the
artists attic!
For the artist to 20 on painting
pictures for attics is like talking
down q telephone with no one at
the other end.
How to get the pictures 10 you
who want them and can't afford
them? There's only one way, I'M
less the artist paints for nothing.
And, after all, he has to live.
No Artist Wants to Paint
Pictures for His Own or
Anybody's Attic.
Well, let him sell some, TO 70

him CIRCULATE the rest, just as

books circulate in libraries. Let
some one be q new kind Of art
dealer and 70 between the artist
and the public-and RENT pie
lures for small sums for any
length Of time desired over six
months, or even less. They could
ask q small percentage Of the price
Of the picture.
In this way anyone could have
pictures who wants them, and by
the best American artists, for this
would please all the painters as
well as yourself. They WANT
their pictures to circulate. They
don't want them STACKED UP!
They want them to be SEEN.
That's what they are painted for.
This plan has been preached to
several well-known American art
lists, and they are very enthusiastic
over the idea.
Noted American Artists
Favor This Plan of
Renting.
Arthur B. Davies is very keen
over it. He says: This idea will
create a new kind Of pictured"
Perhaps he means a picture
MADE with the knowledge that
some one will get it who will LOVE
it! How novel!
Wouldn't YOU like to have a
picture or two by some Of the best
known and best liked painters Of
America?
We know that the artists like
this idea. Now we want your
opinion on it. Write and tell Us,
and if you like il, it will be done.
mabel Dodge offers an inter
estinE suggestion. She fOrgets, in
our opinion, however, that those
that want pictures, also want to
OWN them. Here and there you
find g detached soul perfectly will
ing to look at a picture without
owning it. But such a superior
one would also not DUST the pic
ture or take other care Of it.
Stronger than love Of art or any
thing else, 90 far is love Of OWN
ERSHIP. The jackdaw stealing
a peacock feather, the savage
sticking q sea shell In his nose, the
young gentleman asking, Twill
you be mine forever" the peasant
cultivating on the edge Of a vol
cano the piece Of ground that he
OWNS, should teach our brilliant
young contributor, Mabel Dodge,
that in all philosophical writing
the passion for ownership should
be considered.
Her suggestion, none the less, is
interesting, and we have no doubt
tat many interesting replies will
be sent to her in care Of The
Washington Times.
Perhaps a circulating art gal
lery would be q greater success IL

The Mysteries of Hypnotism
and TransferenceOf Thought

The Former, Says Garrett P. Serviss, Noted
Scientific Writer Is Real Phenomenon That Has
Possibilities of Important Service to Mankind, But
1t Must Be Handled Cautiously. Telepathy, in the
Shadow Land of Science Still Has to Prove Its Case
Although Investigators Report Apparently Well
Authenticated Manifestations of Its Existence.
The Washington times., 1917-09-01

when the latter is in a state Of
receptiYeness freed from the dis
fractions Of waking life. Mani
testify, only diseases that are asso-
eiated in some decided way with
nervous action can come under the
control Of hypnotic suggestion.
but such diseases are very numer-
Gus and Of vast importance to
human comfort and happiness.
Pains, especially rheumatic ard
neuralgia pains, have been relieved
in this way, and 1t has been
claimed that such habits as drunk
enness have been cred by hyp-
motto suggestion. Morbid, nerv-
Gus and bodily tendencies, like in
somnia, hysteria and constipation,
also appear to be amenable to this
treatment.
It might at first sigls be sup
posed that serious mental dis
orders would yield to hypnotic
treatment, but it has been found
that they do not, the apparent
reason being that, since it is
through the brain that the hyp-
motto influence works, it Is essen
tial that that organ should be in
sound condition. To Weld to hyp-
motto treatment is not an indica-
ton Of mental weakness.

Hypnosis Allied to Sleep,
Although Condition Is
Not Identical.

Not Identical.
Many theories have been pro-
posed to explain hypnotism. In q
general way hypnosis resembles
sleep, and the two states are re-
garded as being allied though not
identical. One explanation Of hyp-
nosis is that under its influence a
state Of relative dissertation &C.
ours among the brain cells, so that
the operator can accentuate the
activity Of certain impressions
without interference through other
nervous links. This would account
for such a phenomenon as the
anesthesia Of one eve Of the sub
ject while the other remains I'M
affected.
Thus if the operator tells the
subject that he cannot see with
his right eye, but only with his
left one though both eyes be nor
NAL and wide open, it will be
found that the right eye really
does lose its power Of seeing as
completely as II it were actually
blind, until the operator, by a
command, removes the disability.
Telepathy, which has been de-
fined as "the conveyance Of
thoughts and feelings from mind
to mind by other than the ordinary
channels Of sense" is a phenome-
non not we'll established, like hyp-
notism, by experimental evidence.
It has been associated with hyp-
notism by attempts to induce the
hypnotic state in subjects at a dis
lance from the operator. DR..
Pierre Janet, in France, claimed to
have succeeded in nineteen out of
twenty-five attempts Of this kind,
while Prof. Richet reported that
in nine attempts he had succeed
ed twice completely and four times
partially. I think that telepathy
has not yet got upon It's scientific
legs.
