Why N4 Cure Your Bad Habitat
In large eastern city is profess
sional hypnctist. who has wide repu-
tation for curing the habit Of intern
perance. His method is very simple.
"There is no real hypnotlsm about it
unless it is a matter Of self hypno-
tism," this professor once said. II
simply observe the Slind process Of the
man that drinks and advise him how
to reverse it. The s1bconscious solil-
.oquy in the mind Of the nan that
drinks runs something like &is:~. When
did l have my last ball? Whew! Long
IS that! I. don't see how Stood it SO
long. Wouldn't have thought it posi-
ble.' And so on the victim repeats to
himself on the principle that he needs
this periodical stimulant just as it is
necessary to heap coalson to fire to
keep 1t from burning out. In a word,
that man self hypnotizes himself into
the belief that he needs 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: 4 really don't
need this drink. If take it, it's SIM
ply matter of pouring so much down
my throat superfuously, for I 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 1t, is cure for incompetence why
is it not equally a recipe for curing
other bad habits? 81

Miller declares that apparently the

Domestic Science and Living Costs

Domestic Science and Living Costs
The former attitude of women to-
ward housework differed somewhat
from the attitude Of men toward thelr
tasks. Few men ever drop the more
routine and laborious aspects of their
tasks provided they can see dollar
in it. The farmer does not hesitate
to take hold of the shovel and the hoe
if he sees his crop needs it.
The merchant will unpack his own
goods and even sweep his own floors
if help is scarce. He does not com
Dlain if it is dull and embarrassing
work that boy could do. He does
it because for the success OF most
small businesses, it is frequently nee
essary that men take hold and WORK
a good deal with their own hands. :,
The high cost of living is persuade
ing a great many women that 1t pays
for them to attend more closely to
their own households They find. a
business profit in so doing. They are
saving money that gives them IN many
ways a freer life and more money to
spend on pleasures and improvement
than they had when they kept SER
wants. :, a a
The Domestic Science movement is
emphasizing several points with great
force that are worthy Of the attention
Of every housewife One of.these Is
that with competent training any wo-
man should be able to perform the
tasks bfs a moderate sized household
with half her time. save, probably laun.
dry work. The domestic science ex-
perts say they know in their own &C
quaintence great many women who
are doing that. They are perfectly
good housekeepers. yet they have half
their time free either for social life,
for literary and study club work or
for philanthropy. A great many OF
them use it in some money earning oc-
cuDation outside the home.
1t Is the testimony of these active
b housewives that they could never in
the world have done it, had it not been
for the training they had in the do
mestic science class. Also they could
not live on their husbands incomes
at present prices, had they not had
domestic science training.

- To Relieve District Judges.
Bar associations in several counties
have gone on record as favorfng a
change in the law that will lead to the
establishment Of a county Judge In the
several counties. In several judicial
districts the court work is consider
ably behind and the legislature will
be asked to pass a law increasing the
number of judges in such districts. The
advocates of the county judge plan
aver that this will not be necessary
If the county judges are provided for.
These judges would be given complete
jurisdiction over all probate matters
after the manner in the early days OF
tho state and with probate business
eliminated it would be possible to do
with fewer district judges than we now
have. .,.a. So rs..s, is-G
To Reduce Number Of Bills.
Hon. w. w. Anderson of Greene
county is urging bill that stipulates
that no member of house or senate
shall introduce more than four bills at
any one session of the legislature. This
does not take into account committee
bills, legalizing acts and the like. Mr..
Anderson contends that such meas
ure will not only lead to the elimina-
ton of bills that are introduced sim
ply to please the people back home,
whether the measure has merit or not.
It will also prevent the introduction
of freak bills and it will lead to the
saving of thousands of dollars at every
session because every bill introduced
must be printed and it goes through
the hands of numerous clerks before
it reaches the committee to which it
has been consigned. All this@eads to
expense. If each member introduced
four bills it would mean over 600 to be
considered. Mr.. Anderson contends
that this leaves abundant opportunity
to get all needed legislation before the
general assembly. -
