call up a very good visual hallucina-
ton of the image Of myself in that
condition. But it is perfectly harm
less and 1t won't hurt anybody to try.
The psychological explanation for
the efficacy of this method is given
by an Austrian physician as follows:
1.-THE ego is strengthened by the con-
centration Of attention on itself: 1t Is
led to Identify itself with the already
sleeping image Of itself: it is proud
of the omnipotence attributed to Its
conception. The prospect of sleep Is
pictured favorably: the instinctual
wishes and reproat hes Of the con-
science which usually disturb the
tired ego are thrust aside"
QUESTIONS FROM READERS

periments which answer the ques-
tons as to whether cleansing cream
is good fer the skin or whether. as
Is often said. it is unnatural, insult
able clogs the pores and prevents the
oil and sweat glands from function
ing normally"
Answer: An English physician.
named Carleton. has made the fcl-
lowing observation: He asked 40
women to apply wellknown face
cream to one side Of the face only
for four weeks and report as to
which side Of the face felt better
afterwards. Twenty-four reported
not the slightest difference; IL de-
clared that the skin OF the UNI
touched cheek was much rougher
than that to which the cream had
been applied According to this in.
vestigation, the cream did not clog
the pores. nor did ii dry out the
skin. nor interfere with the PROPER
| functionin2 of the sweat glands. The
conclusion Is that this demonstrated
that to massage the skin with good
cream is no more unnatural than to
wash the grease and dirt off the
face with soap and water

 Each was placed under $16,000 bond for trial in superior court dur. ing the September term at Middle town.
 The arrests were made by state police late yesterday after the bank closing hour. They were arraigned at a special superior court session before Judge Ernest A. 1nglis.
 Depositors Some Protected
 Fl. M. Stillman, Boston, super vising examiner of the Federal De- posit Insurance Corporation, an- nounced that depositors were pro- tected up to $5,000 each for savings, commercial and Christmas club ac- counts and that the government would begin repayments as soon as an inventory was completed.
 Assistant U. s. States Attorney George Fl. Cohen, at Hartford, said stolen securities had been used as collateral for fraudulent loans and that the department of justice was Investigating the source of the se- curities, believed obtained outside of the state.
 A fifth man, described as E. S.. Dallman, New York, e lottery oper- ator, was believed nonresident.
 Charges Cover Over Year
 Ten charges were lodged against the accused, covering a period of slightly more than one year. Two Of the counts alleged the signature of William E. Cunneyworth, Montreal, Can, business man. had been forged to a note for $l5,000. Another loan was said to have been secured by two $l,000 bonds of the City of Taunton, Mass, Cohannet school loan, which were said to have been stolen.
 State Banking Commissioner Wal ter Perry was to make application to superior court next week for ap. pointment as receiver of the closed bank. Under law passed by the last general assembly the commits sioner becomes receiver for all sus- pended state bank and trust com- panies.
 Bank President Chauncey c. Bev. ins said today that all depositors would be paid off in full and that the institution would assume liabil- ity for all accounts over the in. sured limit of $5,000.
 The bank. the only one in town, has about 2,l0o depositors. Its clos- ing caused considerable concern among merchants who, at the height of the summer resort season, were unable to obtain ready cash.

It will mark the first time since the pas- sage of the bill that its provisions have been exercised in a new clos- ing.
 Conspiracy Charge
 The four men charged with con- spiracy are alleged to have mulcted the bank of at least $32,000. Deposi- tors of amounts up to $5,000 are protected by the Federal Deposit ln- surance corporation, while bank of- ficials declared today that all de- positors would be paid in full, what ever the size of their accounts.
 Senator Culhane said today that he believed his bill would expedite the receivership. He said: "The bank commissioner can take over the receivership and expedite the handling of the affairs of the closed bank. It will benefit the depositors and the bank"
 Culhane Won His Bill
 The Culhane bill was passed by the 1895 General Assembly after the local senator had spoken for 1t sev- eral times from the floor. He in- troduced the measure after he had made a detailed study of bank re- ceiverships in the state, which previously were in private hands.
 After the bill had been passed, every then existent receivership was then turned over to Bank Com Perry and his department.
