McArthur, county bridge superintendent, will end their Mrs. Saidie Orr Dunbar Speaks on Hospitalization Needs at East Side Club. , That Portland is one 6f' the few large cities in the United States which does not meet its hospitaliza tion needs for tuberculosis patients. was stated by Mrs. Saidie Orr Dun bar, executive secretary of the Ore gon Tuberculosis association, in an address before the East Side Bust ness Mens club at Its dinner meeting last nigiit. The speaker explained the peculiar city ordinance here which prohibits tuberculosis - pa tients from being treated in a hos pital within the city, which in many instances has resulted in .necessity of camouflaging acute cases of tuberculosis as pneumonia in-order that Immediate hospital attention might toe given in emergencies. Mrs. Dunbar urged a change in an attitude of. mind now existant in Portland that the state tuberculosis' hospital was purely a charitable in stitution and treated only cases where better facilities could not be obtained on acount of the financial status of the patients. A mistaken impression has caused many people to "believe that they must patronize private hospi tals where exorbitant fees are charged or else be considered as objects of charity," she said.

Doxsee, assistant professor of in dustrial education, are faculty mem bers on the programme. Bedtime and Hour of Rising Said to Be Best Opportunities " for Practice. Certainly not all those persons in Portland who have attempted the conscious auto-suggestive healing methods of Emil Coue, " celebrated French psychologist, . were in at tendance last night when Dr. W. T. McElveen, speaking at the First Congregational church, presented the first of his lectures on the topic but some hundreds of them were. To these the speaker laid bare the spiritual mechanics of that simple ritual which maintains that we, if we. will, may grow, better, in every way, day by day. The thing that we know least about," said Dr. McElveen, "is our selves. Behind or below our con scious mind there is another mind that we might call the 'unconscious mind.' The big idea that Professor Coue holds to be essential is that this unconscious mind must accept the idea given it by the conscious mind, and then must transform it into a reality before the idea can have healing energy. Christ Good Psyslclan. The Christian church," continued Dr. McElveen, "has always been in terested in eradicating disease. Christ was a good physician. He was a healer as well as a teacher. Then, too, Christianity stands for the increase and the improvement of life. Christ would make men whole. A sick man is only a half a man. Sickness subtracts from man's energy and so is as undesir able as it is abnormal. So the Christian church has every now and again tried its hand at continuing the healing ministry of Christ. "This accounts for our interest in Emile Coue. He calls his method of healing 'conscious auto-suggestion' or 'induced auto-suggestion.' He does not claim to possess any curative powers. He declares that he never really cured a person. He simply shows the sick how to awaken curative powers in them selves. This he does by suggestion. Suggestion Tried Freely. "There is nothing new in in fluencing people by suggestion. We do it every, day. -The advertiser suggests that-you need a biscuit. The salesman suggests that the suit he is trying to sell you is becoming. But there are several sorts of sug gestions. There is hotero-sugges-tion suggestion by others; and auto - suggestion suggestions you make to yourself. Xou may be aware that your friend is seeking to influenoe you; or he may so adroitly make the suggestion that you are unconscious that he is try ing to influence you. Professor Cone's method is conscious auto suggestion. He insists that a sug gester is not necessary. Auto-suggestion -is something anyone can become an expert in by practising. Conscious auto-suggestion ;s, how ever, not an exercise which you are to hold in reserve until you are Bick or in sorrow or in trouble. Tou should use it with the regularity with which you eat your meals. Conscious auto - suggestion means that you deliberately superintend and carefully select and control the thoughts that you suggest to your unconscious mind. Thought Declared Powerful. A thought is not a faint effluence of the mind like the perfume of a flower. It is an energy, potent and pervasive. We say "knowledge is power" and that "men are ruled by ideas. B,ut much depends upon the character of the ideas. Great thoughts elevate; mean thoughts de grade. We rise to the height of our noblest ambitions; we sink into the mire of our low desires. No man does anything without first imagin ing himself doing it. We visualize the task before we try to perform it. But if we imagine a bad thing we blight ourselves and if we im agine a good thing we bless our selves. The apostle Paul said "To be carnally minded is death, and to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Milton expressed the same idea in "Paradise Lost": The mind is its own place, and in itself Can mak . heaven o heltf or a hell of . heaven. There are three steps to the Coue method. First, think the right thoughts. , Second, think them so that your unconscious mind will accept them, and third, do what you can to aid the unconscious rfiind to transform the accepted thought into a real healing force. "The unconscious mind accepts the idea best when the conscious mind is not alertly active. The suggested thought gets into the unconscious mind when it catches your uncon scious mind napping. One of the very best times to make healing suggestions to yourself is just be fore you go to sleep and just after yon wake up. ifost of us don't know how to meditate. We must practice that lost art. Further, the greater degree of emotion that ac companies the suggestion the quick er it is accepted and the more po tent is its power." i Dr. McElveen illustrated what he said by asking individuals in his audience to try 'out some sugges tions that he himself made to them.
