| HOBBY COLUMN By Wm. D. Christianson, Jr. Newfoundland Stamps Hlustrate Tourist and Sportsmen's Paradise The pictorial quality of New- foundland's scenery has been most aptly portrayed on its stamps. In 1923 the English firm of White- head, Morris & Co. produced an engraved set, nearl y all of which were taken from actual photo- graphs made on the island by Pro- fessor Hollaway. Rivers, lakes and waterfals predominate on these stamps. Newfoundland is the 10th largest island in the world, with an area of around 43,000 square miles, while the ir- regular coastline has a length of some 4,000 miles, Much of -this coastal scenery is extremely grand; inland, wherever one goes, there are lakes and rivers which would lead to the impression that Newfoundland must be the best watered island in the world. In this series of stamps the Humber river on the west coast is pictured fou different times, while Trinity bay on the northeast of the island is shown twice. Placentia, near Mt. Pleasant, founded in 1662, the former French capital, appears on the top value of this set. In 1928 another publicity set was produced by the same firm as the last, with a view to at- tracting tourists to the island. The designs include a map of Newfoundalnd, steamer, train and plane, also a hotel, along with the post office at St. Johns, the _ National War Memorial and the Parliament House at St. Johns, the capital building of Newfound- land, built in 1847. The King and Queen and the Prince of Wales are included. Another stamp in the set shows a view of Heart's Content, sometimes called "Cable City," as most of the overseas cables are relayed to us from this point. The last value pictures the Grand Falls at Labrador, 250 miles up the Hamilton river, which have a fall of 300 feet, be- CHEERS Thott Ha nels tho \ HAND-0-TONIK CREAMY pa NON- STICKY x DELIGHTFULLY % SCENTED 'MODESTLY PRICED 1.25.4 $2.35 David J.

These two issues served well to prove to the world the attrac- tiveness of this island, sometimes thought to be foggy and ice- bound. Actually, the fogs are found 200 miles out on the banks where the Gulf Stream and the Arctic flow meet. The harbour at St. Johns is always ice-free While there is plenty of winter, the summers are delightful with warm days and cool nights. In 1932, another pictorial issue was printed by Perkins, Bacon & Co. The sportsman delights to find cod, salmon, seal and cari- bou, along with the Newfound- land dog pictured; also sealing and fishing fleets as they set out from harbour. These, of course, denote the staple industries of the island as well. Without question the waters of Newfoundland are an angler's paradise. It is said that every native is either a fish- erman or a hunter, or both. After viewing the beauty spots shown on ..ewfoundland's stamps, no one can wonder at its attractive qualities. Among the royal por- traits included in this series is a six-year-old portrait of Princess Elizabeth printed in blue and highly regarded by most collectors for its beauty. Hypnotism -iand - Mesmerism By C. S. Cooper CHAPTER IX There are a number of miscon- ceptions about hypnotism that should be corrected. The hypno- tist need not have a stronger mind that his subject. 'In fact, will has nothing to do with the indugtion of hypnosis. Dr. Braid, of England, was skeptical of this science, so he happened to be on a platform where an exhibition was given by a hynotist. And Dr. Braid was honest enough to admit the error of his previous statement, saying it was a truly genuine science. Later, Dr. the greatest hypnotists in Eng- land. Briefly, nervous and mental troubles can be assisted, such as nervousness, acute or chronic, and other functional disorders, in- somnia, mental trouble such as perversion of sentiment, melan- cholia, perverted sex, apathy of young people, probles in children, nail-biting, cruelty; obsessions such as fear; semi-organic condi- tions such as stuttering, stammer- ing, seasickness, -sleep-walking, enuresis, and numerous other ail- ments. You will note that all the conditions are functional.

Neighbouring Port Credit was represented in the nter-City sen- ior loop that season, and the Ports gave Chris his most acute head- aches in league play, trouncing the Aces in three of their four meetings.

They are carried out in the waking state. All diseases of the nervous system are amen- able to suggestion. I will endeavour to tell you how a cure is brought about. First, the subject is put to sleep. Then you place the suggestion on his subconscious mind. You leave the suggestions for the cure to sink deeply on his subconscious mind for five minutes. Then he is awakened, and he carries out those suggestions in the waking state. Now, the subject does not remember what has been said to him during the sleep. It is strange how he carries out those suggestions when he does not re- member them, yet it is an actual fact that he does carry them out. One treatment may be sufficient, but sometimes several treatments may be necessary to complete a cure. How many people has this sci- ence baffled? Millions, yet a few have accomplished it.
