A Scientific Investigation Of the Power of Mind Over Matter. By LADD LIVINGSTONE The College of Physldnns ami Sur geons of Monteola was holding Its commencement. Miss Elolse Stanford, it girl distinctly feminine, one whose countenance indicated that she wits mode to love and be loved, snt In the audience. One of the graduating class, Henry Duckworth, read a paper on faith elites. Miss Stanford from the moment young Duckworth took the rostrum wns evidently attracted to him.’ Her mother, who snt near her, noticed that her daughter was looking nt him cov etously, and something Indicating an infatuation grew us the doctor proceed ed. Then, when he haul finished and given way amid applause to the next speaker, It seemed to the mother that the light of the world had for Elolse been extinguished. Front that day the girl wns changed. A singularly happy disposition scouted to ltnve been clouded, if not with mel ancholy, at least with a certain dream iness. Then a tinge of color that had always been present In her fair skin began to fade. Mrs. Stanford had her suspicions that otto of those quick heart surren ders which so often occur in very young persons bad taken place in her daughter and the object of her yearn ings was young Dr. Duckworth. The mot,her suggested that the family phy sician be called in, but Eloise objected saying tlmt there was nothing the matter with her; she was only a little run down. She would take a tonic that she had taken before and that had built up her strength. Eloise took the tonic, but no effect wns visible. The girl continued to be dreamy and to decline steadily. Final ly, without consulting her, Mrs, Stan ford sent for the family physician, Dr. Gilbrullh, told him that her daughter was ailing utul asked him to see her. The doctor was introduced to the pa tient, made the usual (Inquiries, felt her pulse, took her temperature und lis tened to her heart beat. Then he made his report to the mother that lie could discover no organic difficulty and thought the girl was simply run down Since a tonic 4tad not sufficed, he rec ommended a trip. Mrs. Stanford was confirmed by this report in her own theory. “It’s her heart, doctor,” she said "I assure you, Mrs. Stanford, that I examined Iter heart carefully, and Its action Is perfect.” Mrs. Stanford then gave- the doctor an account of her daughter's having listened to the thesis of young Dr. Duckworth, his evident effect, upon her and her own belief that Elolse had fallen in love. Dr. GUbralth listened to the recital attentively, remarking that the graduate was proving the truth of his assertions of mind over matter at the very moment he was uttering them. When the conference was finished Dr. Gilbrnith took his de parture, having promised to think the matter over. In a day or two the family physician called again at the Stanfords’ and aft er the usual pulse feeling und Inquiries said to the patient: With my large practice I am un able to give your case the attention It requires. Your trouble is mental and through the mind has affected the body. I don't mean thut your mind is diseased nor that it Is in an abnormal condition. It Is simply affected, as tlie minds of young persons are liable lie affected, by some especial—in your ease—hidden cause. A young man of my acquaintance, a recent graduate of the college of physicians and surgeons, has taken up the study of the effec of mind over mutter und purposes to make it a specialty.” The doctor, whose Intention was partly to diagnose his patient's mal ady, called by hts last sentence a faint color to Eloise’s cheek. The heart theory was confirmed. "I propose that you shall be placed under observation, my friend Dr. Duck worth being the observer.” Dr. Gilbraith saw the faint color that, had come In Eloise’s cheek deepen into scarlet. He proceeded: * "The doctor will visit you occasional ly, question you as to your symptoms, give you such correctives as you may need, but his principal aim will be to discover this subtle something that is affecting your brain and, through your brain, your body.” Pretending not to notice his patient’s blushes, the doctor withdrew and, find ing Mrs. Stanford in the library below, said to her: ‘‘I have done a bit of diagnosing of your daughter’s case and have found that you have preceded me in a cor rect theory. Your daughter's disease is, as you have surmised, in the heart.” Dr. Gilbraith then repeated what he hud said to Eloise und proposed to her mother that he should place Dr. Duck worth in charge with the intent that he should effect a cure. “But, doctor,” the lady protested, “the young inau 'will at once see that m.v daughter is"— “Excuse me, madam; lie will do no such thing. A conceited prig supposes every girl he meets to be in love with him: a modest gentleman is usually devoid of uny perspective faculty what- I ever as to the fact that n heart is at his disposal. Dr. Duckworth Is a very bright inau and. being a young man. Is certain of many things he will doubt when older. The one plain symptom fight under Ids nose he will fall to see." The matter having boon tints timing, ed, so far as the Stanfords were con- ernctl, It only remained for Dr. Gil brnith to broach the matter to Duck worth. He called upon the young man, assumed a serious bearing and, stating Miss Stanford's condition, using every medical phrase that would suit ills pur pose, explained ids suspicion that some effect as being produced on Miss Stanford's body through her brain and offered the case to the young Investi gator. Duckworth wns much interest ed and accepted the work with alac rity. Dr. Gilbrnith accompanied Dr. Duck worth on ills first visit to Eloise Stan ford and before entering tIn* room said to him: "There is a tendency of the heart to throw the blood to the surface, doc tor. Anything unusual, such as the meeting or a stranger, will produce this effect. I think you will notice it. on our entrance.” The warning was well timed, for the moment Eloise’s eyes fell upon L)r. Duckworth her blushes told the nature of her disease so plainly that perhaps even the young physician might, have discovered it had not lie been led to believe that the symptom arose from some purely physical cause. The in vestigator was duly Introduced, and Dr. Gilbraith. in order to impress the patient, made some suggestions to him in such high sounding medical terms that it is questionable if even the lat ter wns familiar with them all. The introduction and suggestions having been finished, Dr. Gilbraith went, be low, where he found Mrs. Stanford. The two chatted together until Hr. Duckworth came down. “Well, doctor,” asked Gilbraith what do you think?” "I do not like to pronounce so early on a case that lias baffled a practitioner of your great experience, but the first symptoms 1 have observed point to an affection of the heart.’ Mrs. Stanford looked at Dr. Gilbrnith reproachfully, as much ns to say, "1 told you lie would discover the real cause.” “I noticed," continued the investi gator, “when I placed my ear upon the organ the pulsations were rapid—BIO to the minute.’ 1 For a few moments it was uncertain to the listeners whether the young man hnd caught, on to the real situation. Then he proceeded to talk of the case so learnedly that Dr. Gllbralth’B suspi cions were allayed and Mrs. Stanford drew a long sigh of relief. Then the two doctors departed together, and the study of the effect of mind over mat ter in the case of Eloise Stanford had begun. Dr. Duckworth at his second visit saw ills patient alone. After un inter view with her lie rejoined her mother, and, evidently impressed with the deli cacy and importance of his question, he said: “Sometimes girls are brought to a decline by cherishing a secret love. May I ask, Mrs. Stanford, if you sus pect any such cause In your daughter’s case?” This was coming very near home, besides forcing the lady Into the posi tion of telling a falsehood. Mrs. Stan ford dodged. “I have understood from Dr. Gil- brnitb that you were to investigate my daughter's case unprejudiced and un influenced. I think It best, therefore, doctor, thut you should ask me no questions. I will say, however, that no symptom has appeared to me that has not been apparent to you The doctor twirled his mustache thoughtfully, while Mrs. Stanford brought her critical eye to hour upon him. Was he Interested professionally in any love affair her daughter might have or on his own account? If the latter his question was a shrewd move, It was pluin that lie did not suspect any such heart affection toward him self. Despite the fact that Elolse remain ed in the position of un invalid, she re covered her health rapidly. Her phy sician did not illuininale the world by a discovery of a mental depression af fecting health, but lie hung on nobly, His visits were at first once in two weeks; then they increased to weekly, and finally lie was continually running in, having forgotten something or left something or a new idea liuvlng oc curred to him, and the durations of ills visits increased with their frequency. One morning Elolse put her arms about her mother and said: "Mamma, dear, I have a surprise for you.” “What is it?” “Can you guess?' “No.” “Dr. Duckworth and I are engaged. “You don’t mean it?” "I do, and I have another surprise for you.” "What's that?” “I’ve been in love with him ever since I heard him read his thesis on the effect of mind over matter.” “How in the world did you ever con ceal it so long?” “It wns awfully hard. And Just think he saw me in the audience and fell in love with me too.” “Good gracious!” exclaimed the moth er, wonder struck. “Yes; he has told me so.” “Hus lie told you what has been af feeling your health?” “No; he hasn't told me that, but he says that if I ever have a relapse, be ing constantly with me, he will try again.” “I hope you’ll never have a relapse. "Why so, rnamma? Why are you so serious about it?” "Because If you do some one might get hurt.” old A stitch In time saves nine,” Is an and trlto saying, hut it Is never theless true.

Ever stopped to think what a corner on cotton production old lady Nature gave our southern country? The man away over yonder in some outlandish place we never heard of may raise or forage all the victuals his folks need. But he can t grow their clothes. He’s got to buy ’em. The family may get along on tapioca root, or rice, or some thing else in place of bread. They may never have heard of wheat by any name. But they know cotton cloth. And likely as not, the cloth their old man b jys is made from a bale raised in your neighbor’s patch across the creek. The world wants cotton. And it looks to us for its supply. Cotton is and always will be our biggest asset, good as gold. Yet we’ve been wasting its value like some inheritance from a rich uncle. 4 How? Listen: Baled cotton has two enemies only, weather and fire. We’ve been leaving thousands of bales out in all seasons, to be damaged dollar by dollar, day by day. We’ve been tak ing the risk that thousands more wouldn’t go ud in smoke— Pick up a paper. “Warehouse Burns,” says a headline; $17,000 gone off the face of the earth. “$30,000 Cotton Fire,” says another headline. IT GETS MONOTONOUS. Think Providence gets any pleasure out of that? If Providence has anything at all to do with it, it’s her way of impressing on us the duty of preserving what she gives. We’ve eot a warehouse that’s goine to have something to do hereafter with the value of a big part of the cotton crop- Reinforced concrete, sprinkler system of fire extinguishers, electric fire alarm—these help to make the cotton in it proof against weather and flame. Insurance costs you two cents on one bale for one month, in this warehouse of ours. The marine insurance companies have made a reduction of a quarter of one per cent, in their rate on cotton to be stored with us in transit. We might have spent about $75,000 and built a warehouse covering our 40 acres. Instead, our investment’s close to a million dollars. The difference is in a quality of warehouse buildings worthy of the south, worthy of her great est asset. • We invite you to come and see our facilities. We want to convince you that we’re offering maximum safety at minimum cost. Atlanta Warehouse Co. ASA G. CANDLER, Proidcnt P. O. Box 1483 B_2 Write for Old Bill Bobbin's Say-So on Cotton
