Your correspondent in last Satur.
davis psychic forum has a very
distorted idea Of this whole subject.
At no sitting / have ever attended
was there any obscene or improper
conversation: the moral tone OK
these sittings was quite as I1igl as
that OF respectable society. This
also seems to be the experience OF
other of my acquaintance who
have made far more extensive In
yestigations than /. The moral. tone
of the sittings depends very largely
upon the sitters.
A little investigation should con-
vince any fafr-minded person that
mediumship is a normal function;
mediums are usually sane, healthy
persons, quite competent for the
ordinary affairs of life. The purer
the life of the medium, the better
will be the quality of the sittings.
This also applies with equal force
to the sitter.
The danger of insanity from the
study of psychic phenomena IS
grossly exaggerated; the propaganda
of those interested in discrediting
il. An investigation in England
has failed to find anyone who has
been committed to any asylum on
account of belief in Spiritualism.
It is more apt to prevent insanity.
This investigation showed that
while the proportion Of the insane
in England in respect to all occupa
lions Is 4.94 per 10000, the average
of the clergy of the Church Of Eng
land is 1913. and of doctors 14.3.

search, May, 1929 Persons do not
go insane because of their religious
belief, but because of a weakness
in their mental makeup that makes
it impossible for them to endure the
strains and stresses of life.
There's q Difference
Very few of your correspondents
seem to realize the distinction be-
tween spiritualism and psychical
research. The psychical researcher
is an investigator and not a be-
lever; he studies and describes
these very sporadic phenomena that
are called psychicaI and attempts
to classify them; all of his opinions
are Notwithstanding hypothesis.
Very rarely, indeed, is the psychical
researcher a spiritualist.
The spiritistic explanation is ac-
cepted by very many psychical re-
searchers because it explains all of
the phenomena of psychicaI re-

And then how the sun will come

Best Soy Bean Variety
for Production of Seed

Fifteen years of experimental work
at the Iowa station show manchu to be
the best variety for seed production
while peking has given the best re-
suits for silage and hay purposes.
The best yields of both seed and hay
have been secured with drilled seed
ings. The best rate for drilling was
two bushels per acre. This allows for
a thorough narrowing and still leaves
enough plants for high yield. Plant
ing from early May until June 1
gave equally good results.
Control of weeds was found to be
the most important point in success

are three inches high and the last

SEASONABLE DISHES

A THOUGH clear soups, which are
IA largely water, contain little
nourishment, they are of value be-
cause they stimulate the juices of the
stomach. Appetizing soups may be
made of materials otherwise wasted.
Good soup is not necessarily made
from soup stock; vegetables Of varj-
GUS kinds as peas, beans, asparagus,
cooked until soft then put through a
puree sieve, heated with milk and
bound with butter and flour cooked
together, using stock sometimes If at
hand, will make many kinds of soups.
Split Pea Soup.
Take one pint of split peas, four
quarts of water, one large onion
minced fine, four tablespoonfuls of
butter, three tablespoonful of flour,
one teaspoonful Of minced celery, or a
few dried leaves, one-half teaspoonful
of paprika, and two teaspoonfuls Of
salt. Wash the peas sand soak them
overnight in cold water. In the morn
ing pour off the water and put them
into soup kettle with three quarts of
water. Place over the fire and bring
to the boiling point. Pour off this wa
ter and add four quarts of boiling wa
ter, let the peas simmer for four
hours. Add the celery the last hour
of cooking. Cook the onion in the
butter, add to the peas with the -four
and cook until smooth and we'll blend
ed. Rub all through a sieve and sea-
son and serve.

tablespoonful of pearl barley, two
tablespoonfuls each of minced onion,
turnip, carrot, celery and salt, one
tablespoonful of minced parsley and
three quarts Of cold water. Remove
the bones and the fat, cut the meat
