Mrs. Mccormick at first. She declines
to reveal her method of choosing pa
tients, but Is perfectly willing to dis
'cuss, rather generally, the idea back
Of the selection and cure.
"Let us compare mind of house
and its thought to the furniture in a
house." Mrs. Mccormick SAYS. "Some
of the furniture is unsightly, covered
with dust, broken or ugly. We must
clear it all out, throw it away. and
then the mind becomes clear and all.

they have their minds renovated this

LOWRY-DIAL BILL
URGED IN REPORT
Provides Loans To Germany For
Purchase OF American Goods
(Washington BureauJ

WASHINGTON, d. C., May g.
It became known today that the sub
committee of the agricultural commit
tee, composed Of Senator Harrison of
Mississippi, Senator Ralston of Indi.
ana and Senator johnson Of, Mime
sofa were ready to make their report
to the full agricultural committee rec
Ommending the passage of the Lowry
Dial bill. This bill seeks to use $3.50.
100000 of the alien property custodian
funds to make loans in Germany and
Austria for the purchase of cotton and
wheat and other products in the Unit
ed States 70 be exported to those conn
When this bill was introduced by
Congressman Lowry Of Mississippi in
the House, and Senator Dial Of South
Carolina in the Senate, after confer
enee of southern representatives and
senators, opposition arose to it from
the claimants in the United States who
have adjudicated claims against this
fund.
In the bill that is recommended by
the subcommitte, of which Senator Har-
rison Is chairman, that objection is re-
moved BY the United States government
guaranteeing the claimants against any
loss. The bill is further strengthened
by provision that makes it neces-
sary before the money is advanced or
loaned to &c the consent of the ma
tional bank whose money is sought to
be loaned.
1t is believed by the southern rep
resentatives that the passage of that
bill will increase the price of cotton
!, and wheat and agricultural products
on account of the possibility of great
er demand and sale of these surplus
products. Senator Harrison today said
he would urge immediate action by the
full agricultural committee, and would
insist on the consideration of the bill
by the Senate before adjournment.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Bored by teach
ing psychology to society women, who
failed to show aptitude, and annoyed
by intricate details Of $6,000,000
real estate business, Mrs. Edith Rookie
Teller Mccormick has sought surcease
from world cares by becoming healer
of the sick and nervous.
In announcing her newest field of
endeavor to her friends, Mrs. McC0r-
mick confided that only a few days
ago she had healed a daughter-in-law
of General Julian s. Carr, Confed-
crate veteran, who, she said, made a
special trip to Chicago to thank her.
1t was during this visit that General
Carr died.
Now Co-operates
Mrs. Mccormick had more success in
imparting her psychological discoveries
to Mrs. Henry G. Fowler. of Kansas
City, a daughter of General Carr, than
she experienced with New York and
Chicago women who flocked to sit at
her feet when first she returned from
Switzerland and announced herself as
the apostle of new thought to re-
lieve suffering humanity. Mrs. Fowler
now is cooperating in the healing
movement, Mrs. Mccormick says.
1t was during her stay in Zurich
that Mrs. Mccormick first thought of
the healing principles which she now
seeks TO inculcate into modern life.
From Jung, she received the germ Of
the idea. Its development and appli-
cation are results of her own inspira-
ton, she explains. She first tried the
cure method in Europe, where she says
30 persons felt its miraculous effects
and were benefited.
Selects Carefully
Only persons whom Mrs. Mccormick
feels sure will be responsive to her
