Presenting Puffy A Cat
That HXpnotizes People

/ ton until one of the girls nudaed
me and whispered, Look at my
friend!"
well, sir, that girl was simply
out on her feet. 1t wasn't from
drinking, either. I'm something
Of hypnotist myself and I quickly
realized that she was in a real
hypnotic trance, brought on by
Puffy's staring into her eyes"
Newman, who had bought Puffy
in pet shop for purposes Of
demonstrating that people should
relax like cats, Immediately
started training him to stare even
more tixedly, with such success
that Puffy now can stare New-
man down any time.
Thousands of service men in hos.
pitfalls and canteens have seen Puff
fy perform. He stares into a SUBJ
ject's eyes while Newman slowly
counts out loud. In less than 10 se-
conds the subject closes his eyes,
goes rigid or relaxed, and has tc
be awakened by Newman.
Skeptics to the contrary, New.
man insists it's Puffy and not
himself that does the hypnotizing.
If that cat could only talk" he
says, "Td quit working and Just
manage Puffy"
People always feel better -
headaches gone, and the ike -
after being hypnotized by Putty.
Newman says, because they have
become relaxed in spite of them
selves. Several have taken the
pledge after watching Puffy q
his act on a bar.

Christian Scientist. Hear
Lesson On Unrealitv

Unreality" was the subject OF
the Lesson-Sermon in all Christian
Science Churches and Societies
yesterday.
The Golden Text was from Johr
E24. Judge not according to the
appearance, but judge righteous
Judgment
Among the citations which com.
prised the Lesson-Sermon were
the following from the Bible: For
1t is written, I will destroy the
wisdom Of the wise, and will bring
10 nothing the understanding of the
prudent. Where is the wise? Where
is the scribe? Where is the dispu-
ter Of this world? hath not God
made foolish the wisdom of this
world l Corinthians !. 1920?
The Lesson-Sermon also includ-
ed the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, ''Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures by Mary Baker Ed
dy: THE realities of being, its
normal action, and the origin OF all
things are unseen to mortal sense;
whereas the unreal and initiative
movements of mortal belief, which
would reverse the immortal modus
and action, are styled the real.
There is no material truth. The
physical senses can take no cog
nizance OF God and spiritual Truth.
Human belief has sought out many
inventions, but not one of them
can solve the problem Of being
without the divine Principle of
divine Science page 212.273.)

HE.
 He's coming home" is always the big news for women who have waited and worried while their men faced the dangers and hardships of war. Women are interested in the experiences of their men, and are proud if they distinguish them selves by bravery They think it is fine when they hear that their son or husband has been decorated.
 But when is he coming home? That is the only really important news for woman while her son or husband is in uniform. All the rest is relatively unimportant, compared with that.
 WAITING IS TOUGH
 And there is probably not wom- an in the country who loves man as his wife or mother loves him who wouldn't have reacted as did the mother of the hero who said, That's nice," to the news that her son had won the Congressional Medal of Honor-but sobbed with happiness when she was told, Hes coming home"
 It's nice that a mans a hero,
