1 1 . aMABaBBafasSaSJSaaaaBaBBBBja1 and their k-v:5.'.:.v -. 'H' TPNOTIC Therapeutic In The. ory and Practice," by John Duncan i Quackenbos, A. M. M. D. A prefatory note says "Seven years have elapse! since the author of thla monograph. In : response, to requests from many friends of his work, published In a manual. en titled "Hypnotism In Mental and Mpra.1 Culture," the conclusions derived from a series of experiments with suggestion as a means of dealing with moral ob , llquity . and of developing and exalting mind power. Since the appearance of the initial volume he has devoted his attention exclusively and with - little interruption to a practical application or suggestiona! methods in tne ; ment of a most instructive miscellany of physical and mental conditions. The . book is thus no mere latter math.- It . is a record of many thousand expert ments covering seven years of Inves tigation. - - An ever growing interest on the part . or enugnienea men ana women in psychical therapeutics, supplemented : uy ms own apprenension or. tne forces of mind as a singularly notcnt Instru mentality in the field of medicine and psychiatry, and as a regenerating power in that of criminal anthropology, would seem to justify the author in - niacin the results of his personal ex. perience, with his conception of the ' osyeholoa-v of suggestion, at the did ; Dosal of an intelligent nubile. This he essays to do modestly, but with the courage of conviction, In the pages mat iouow. And it Is a great book by a wonder rui mind. Every page is of vital in terest to -the layman as well as to the student or practitioner. It deals with every thought influence upon health, character and life In Its zulr est and broadest meaning. Dr. Quackenbos presents a scientific rnlnnailAn nf thA nnAr and lnflune of hypnotism, proving beyond a doubt that the conditions, when properly met, mar ' be the means of unlimited good, and that scarcely any harm could come through its use. The author has treated his subject so exhaustively that no phase of hypnotic therapeutics, aa we , are cdnversant with It today. Is left untouched. On the subject of suggestion. In the first chapter, which he has entitled "The Transllmlnal" (across the threshold), the author says: "Mere Up work is of no avail If the errant soul is endowed with supersen sible insight, floods with Its search light; tha nenetralta of ' the aurtrestlon- i Ists heart and rejects tha counsel pf an uncannid or limewarm guiae. in practical hypnotics the best thing one has to give is hlmseir, nut ne must De as his , inspiration. The regenerated fnrrat ia measured exclusively by aual ity of soul in him who suggests. The . God-part of the being under treatment is hypocrisv-proof. The human mind is no man's fool. , ... . , "Buaaestlon of this high order hia nnt nniv of transforming char acter, but of opening men's hearts to the divine lllapse, to the tide of spir itual energy that sets from Qod'a na ture " f 1 ' - In' the chapter devoted to auto-sug- " if if " t WW'T1 A J 1 C,.

A S OTAfll fftrfneF UllUCI villa uonui , , on, the author handles the pstent medi cine people with ungloved hand, at tributing much of the sickness and dis ease to the suggestions which come from their advertisements. ToaMja mnfh Information of 1m mense value, the book has a strong and powerful DacKgrouna or common hdh p.rhnna however the author will re ceive some criticism, and not wholly undeserved, for his uncompromising way of mentioning Christian Science and osteopathy and cults outside of the regular medical proression. The chapter on "Erotomania" is well worth the tlma of even the busiest mother to read. It is full of startling facts and suggestive thought for any one who has In his care and keeping children, particularly if they, are girls. Two pages at the close of the book are given to a list of books for addi tional reading on the subject Harper & Bros. Price . "What the White Man May '. from lha Indian." bv George Wharton James. With a foreword the author gives notice that he is no sentimentalist ebout the Indian; he believes and knows them to possess many traits that are not .to be commended, but, on the con trary very much to be condemned, and cites some, among them being personal uncleanliness.- smoking and , cruelty to dumb animals; but he adds, 'My rea son Is useless to m unless It teaches me what to accept nd what to reject, .nd hit is akin -to a fool who refuses to accept good from a man or a race unless in every thing that man or race is perfect." These words are certainly very apropos In considering the Indian problem. Today, however, ft can hardly be called a problem and the pity of It is that as a people and race the Indians were not so considered when they were a problem. The people of the united States sinned away their day of grace years ago when' to have met the, In dian with thi sane belief that no race is wholly bad, and then developed the good there would not today ba the cause there is for them to hang their heads in shama at the inhumanity and injustice Of our so-called Indian policy. The author In his first chapter oa the treatment, of the "Indian by the white man grows pardonably bitter aa he relates outrages and atrocities per petrated unfa-toe Indians particularly the IndlaCrqd women by -whit agents and those who had., been aenf to protect them.. . ,. ' , Mr. James grows still more bitter In 'the next chapter which treats of the white race and Its civilisation. In speak ir.r of our modern education ancf the waV we have forced scholastic education upon white children saying: "Let the wall of agony of the uncounted dead who have been hurried to their graves by this Idolatrous worship of a sense less, godless, heartless Moloch called 'education' answer for me when people ask me. to respect this feature of our higher civilisation, and to these waais let there be added those of awakened parents who hava seen,-when too late. Into what acts akin to murder their blind worship of this idol had led them." One of the things evidently the author thinks we might leaan from the Indian is their, education through physical dr velopment and the learning ; they get from nature by an out-of-door life. ' 7 Nasal and deep breathing is another thing the .Indian cultivates from child hood Indeed la trained to from tha dayi of ltd htrth. hv mother. The Out door habits of Indian life come In for consideration at some length ana is not only an Interestina chapter or two. but the author has brought into it some pretty and poetic touches. Tha f madam of tha Indian from re straint and all the conventionalities of life suDDiiea Mr. James with nis most abundant material in proving that the inaian may teacn tne wniies many things and before he concludes the reader ia convinced that his point of view Is well taken.. It is an extremely interesting book and a study In - many tnings independent or the Indian in it, and but proves the author's first ssser tlon that no race should be condemned wholly because It has some bad or even Vicious tendencies. The book has some striking illustra tions reproduced from photographs. In reading the book it is well to re member that this Is not a new subject with Mr. James, but. that he has made a thorough study of numerous Indian tribes and has written many books upon the various phases of the subject. Forbes At Co. Price $1.60. "Levels of Living, " by Henry F. Cop In giving title to his book Mr. Cope has given voice to the truest principle of the perfect life. It la well to seok tha mountain top, and breathe the ex hilaration of lofty Ideals, and the In spiration which comes with hope and Joy when we are raised above the com mon things; then we must all, at times, descend into the depths of gloom and darkness and there for a while abide, but neither there nor on the heights Is the battlefield of life, and at neither place would wo be fortified for the real living. It is, where the author haa intimated, that the real living must be done on the level. It' is Just the ev eryday, common walks of life that need the kind of food that Dr. Cope has pre fared in this little book. Iv is so eay o prepare ourselves for great things - so nara to Keep reaay ror any ana eve: call of duty. Realising this the author has given a series of tiny sermons- wa will nnt mm AAimV sermonettes,) on the practical things oi life. He does not reject or spurn the ideal In life; in fact the first essay is on - ine Keai ana tne laeai, ana ne says: "Jesus, fihakesneare. Brownlnsr. Lowell, Emerson left no goods and chat tels, no bonds and warehouses; they left inspiration; they bequeathed Ideals; liv ing first for the soul, their souls sur vive ana remain to us au,- una truiy great who still stand after the test of years are those who have lived foY the spirit." - Again he salys: "Live is) the business of learning to use things as tools, the real is the servant of the Ideal, to make conditions even better that character may grow the more, to serve in the making of things and the tlon of the full and engineering of things under the inspira- giorious purpose or life, the realising of the best of our selves, the renderlnsr of our best to Others." The entire book la full of lust such beautiful passages ahd who can say they are not fitted for the Javelin of ltfeV , v. . Mr. Cope is secretary of tha Re ligious Education society, and has had unusual preparation for writing help fully and wisely. He has a striking Individuality of style whloh shows it self in his short, terse sentences, in which In a few words he Is able to embody a striking truth, or a strong forceful principle which it would take many clergymen a whole sermon to ex- firess. Indeed a. -Chicago paper pub Islng under the title, ,TA Bermon far Today," these short "essays also pub lished with the sermons his short say ings under the heading "Sentence Ser mons."

Price, XV "Tha Intoxicated Ghost." and Other Stories, by Arlo Bates This is a rather nondescript and frivolous title for a really very good colleotton ' of storiss, nine in number. "Why tne author should select tnia particular story to give title to his book Is hard to imaalne. for It la neither tha best or most Interesting, though It is a good short story. ttvery one or tn nine is maraea ey a strong psychological atmosphere and none lacks the fascination or finish which characterises a successful short story. - '-- The deepest and tv far the best of tha group Is "Miss Gaylord and Jenny." Its striking feature is the dual per sonality of ' the beautiful fiance of Dr. Carroll. Hypnotism also plays Its part in this story. Each tale Is entirely dif ferent from the other and the author has displayed a good1 deal of orlsrlnalitv and brought a . fine imagination Into play as Veil as proving himself a writer oi mucn versatility, tiougnton, Mirrii. at Kio, irnci sjuou.-t" The Half-Smart .

Such Is. Patricia Goldsmith, the central figure of "The Half-Smart Set," a novel which Frederick A. Stokes com pany publishes this month. But It Is not alone the mad, imprudent pranks of Patricia that have an Interest for Us. There are other sides to this many facetted creature. She has tact and character of her own and a latent strength that enables her to maintain, in the midst of pernicious Influences and inferior associates, an amaslng purity and sweetness. She is. further more fully capable of taking care of nerseii. Tha author of "The Half-Smart Set." which is published anonymously, has already had several large successes; but in this book a subtle and living bit of attractive portraiture Is pre sented that will hold Us own In cur. rent fiction.

Some liberties have, perhaps, been taken with old fam ily names, but no one character has been drawn from life, aside from' a few external features. The heroine is a charming young girl who passes through the patriotic story as a ray of light. Illuminating the struggle for peace In a fascinating manner. Her pretty romance stands out clearly above the Jealousies and hate, wrongdoings and repentance of her compatriots and the reicoated soldiers from across the sea. The color and life of those stir ring days are faithfully caught, and the rugged, true life of tha founders of American independence Is portrayed in a way that causes tha pulses to beat rapidly and the heart to glow with pride.
