Dr- Max A. Bahr, clinical psychiater, and Dr. George F Eden barter, superintendent, at thp Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane, which is located here, are known the world over lor their work in the pr ventatlve and curative field. Roth these alienists emprasige the wisdom of calling in expert advice and removal at once to a hospital for the insane. They say that while there has been an increase in insanity the increase has not been as large as some think. More confidence in nubile hospitals for the insane with the constant influx of patients and the natural increase in population are two sensationless reasons for the increase, Drs. Bahr and Edenharter believe. Heredity, drugs, liquor, sexual disease and abuse, and the pace of modern life, are the greatest causes of insanity, the iocal specialists say- Dr. Bahr believes that most of these factors, before they become chronic, can be cured and the patient saved if taken in hand in time. While the percentage of cures is relatively low. improvement is shown in a large number of hospital cases and still better be <*tiiimd if commitment came earlier in the disease. Dr. Bahr claims. “One of the essential features of the treatment of mental diseases,” said Dr. Bahr, “is the prophyaetic treatment of these hereditarily taint'd or n -rvously endowed. In such cares as children, great stress is to 0 laid on their proper education. The school system of the future will not be without an expert in these matters who will pick out such children as need particular care ‘ 1 know a case in which two twins, with strains of insanity in their family, were developed along entirely different lines. The child that was pressed with higher education and whose precocity was given full wing went insane, while the other twin lived a very quiet life and is today apparently a sane man " Avoidance of stimulants, god, sod. proper supervision of education and *linilar care along other linos will save a large majority of children hereditarily tainted, Dr. Bahr believesThe use of electric ity, drugs and hypnotism In the treatment of InsanTy should be left entirely to physicians, fir, Bahr stated. In the case of patients with delusional ide..® melancholia and strictly ■'hyßirnt trouble, Dr. Rahr suggests that the family of the patfont avoid discussions of the illusion with the sufferer. “It is not advisable to be too liberal n extending sympathy,” he says. “Exnslve conversation and threats of lunfrdrment are to be avoided. Doii.sicnal ideas are more easily for gotten than disproven. It Is unavoidable to interrupt the patient when he is speaking. It is always I best to be truthful with the patients.’’ I Dr. Rahr presides over one of the > most thorough clinical laboratories ir the United States and the reports of»

I ana in every instance they rue having committed the act and wish they had known the terrible consequences, the suffering in the spiritual condition owing to the folly of the mortal brain. ' As we are informed from the spirit side ol life, every child born upon the earth plane is expect-d to remain in the 1 nys; al body until a ripe old ago is reached. This is necessary that the spirit may gain a strong individuality so th it when it passes to the realm of spirit its progression and advancement may be the sooner accomplished. “A spirit passing to the spiritual realms before it has dwelled in the mortal form until that form has reached old age is compelled to remain near! the earth plane and make every effort] to sei ir > earthly xperience by coming]' in contact with mortals. This is a s’ow process and a spirit may lie hundieds of years in acquiring the necessary results. . Since the spirit world has apprised us of these facts we have often marveled and thought that perhaps through some meager spiritual manifestation the Presbyterians had vonstrued this condition as being the orthodox hell. Hence the remark of an old Presbyterian divine in his Sunday sermon we listened to in our boyhood days: ‘Why. there are children in hell not a span long.' ’'The case of the suicide is quite different. These spirits arc compelled to grope around in darkness for years before they are enal'l d io see the light and make any 'advancement ” NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. The Civic.

CLEVER WOMEN SPIES LINE OF WORK IN WHICH T HEv EASILY OUTDO MEN." To Unusual Powers of Trickery Th. Add the Charm of Femininity and y Thus Win the Confidenc# They Seek. —-—sat Women from time immemorial h&». been tho greatest spies i n histotTheir charms and resources adact ’ them to every line of apprehend , endeavor, froin tracking th B trri ’ New York husKnd to obtaining th« 1 plans and the specifications of the b t tleshlps and. the forts of the ; powers. To thoso who are acquainted W | tll the history of espionage, this statement comes as no surprise, for nearly most sensational spying cases of recent years have been engineered by unscrupulous women. For when it comes to trickery there is no match for a clever woman. (spo . daily if, as is often the case, she has natural beauty allied to her powers ?; stealing confidences. Only a few years back an important German fortress had to be entirely re. , built owing to France obtaining eitensive and valuable information regarding its armaments and the geog. raphy of the Important portion of Ger- , man frontier that it guarded. And this act was made necessary owing to the ramifications of a French woman whose attractive personality enabled her to worm these secrets from important Berlin officials, in whose homes she was implicitly trusted and entertained. Recently a charming woman who I posed as a governess was sentenced tc four years’ penal servitude for spying. She was employed by two European powers, and by acting as a gov- , erness to the children of naval officers in Paris and Berlin she paved the way to acquaintance with those hold--1 Ing responsible positions. I With remarkable audacity she aaaexed charts and plana and sold them in the right quarters. This she found 1 an easy task, having, in her position at governess, ample means of learnin? in what part of the house such documents were stored, and It was not until a bunch of duplicate keys of a , number of admiralty safes w. foun! in her possession that suspicion ft-il upon her. Every one remembers the sensation leveral years ao when most complete 1 plans of the interior of the first British dreadnought were published in a i German newspaper. About this time »n attractive American woman of G r- , man descent disappeared from Lindon’* society circles, where, by rea- ( wn of her charming personality and apparent wealth, she had been given ' a hearty welcome. An inquiry was held on the affair, 1 and it was suggested that this woman probably knew a good deal al ■ ut the 1 leakage of these important plans, and probably further proceedings would Save been taken had not the honor ut , several officers of high standing in uaval and society circles been involved. ~ Age of Machine Soldiers. Particulars of the alleged invention Jf a machine soldier by a Dan sh < u- ; glneer, have been widely published in «1 the French press. The machine solt Her consists of a cylindrical device . which, in time of peace, could be bu- ( ried under the ground, and in time of war. by pressing a button, it could rise to the surface, discharge 400 shots an ! kill the enemy at a distance of t‘ 11 • ' ’ yards. The amusing calculation is I made that if a line of these mecbo iical wddiers were placed all the way : .111 Vesoul or Belford to Sedan, a di.-'ance , of 100 miles could be made pro. ■ illy impassable for any army, esi>- -ally if the mechanical soldiers were placi d »t a metre's interval from each other, and in a line 20 deep. This would • require only 3.200,000 mechanical solI tilers, and assuming that eacli cost -500 f, the whole thing could be done by spending £64,000.000. By pressing 4 few electric buttons an army of more than 3,000,000 soldiers would thus 1 spring out of the ground and pr< - ’ certainly that part ot tho frontier 1 -t ill the ordinary inhabitants would furt have to be warned out of tho dang> r rone. Is the age of tho soldier automaton really coining? t George Brown', Office Boy. I George Brown writes the editorial-’ and attends to the exchange wor\ ■ t a big metropolitan daily newspap>r, all of which compels him to 1> ad ■ oceans of other papers. It was bi» • habit to send his office boy to the ; poitofflce every day to drag back a tremendous bundle of papers. t One day the boy, who was r f| l' beaded and hot-tempered, received his bundle in the corridor of the po-- 1 - cOtee, cut the strings and scatter 1 d the newspapers In wild confusion ad 1 over the floor. After that he ran wild 1 among them, kicking them and slarb ' ping them about. 1 An official of the postofflee call' '■ tip Brown', office with the purpose ' informing him that he had sent ’ o»wty boy to the office and that he had , eanttercii the papers all over the buildIng. Brown was not in when the call •|W*» made, but later the official s th-, postotfice informed him that, w-lum s r«nomtrance was made to the boy • he exclaimed wildly: "That fool gets too many papers'' I anyway! r m on t o him.
