interest of children ever passed in Kansas.
Later, a law preventing traveling hypnotists
from using school children as subjects in
public exhibitions was drawn up by Mrs. Wood
and passed.

Several years ago, a book on hypnotism,
far in advance of the public thought, was written
and is to be published this year.

Mrs. Wood is seventy years young and as
she says: ``finds age the very sweetest part of
life. It is no small satisfaction to laugh at the
follies of others and know that you are past
committing them. It is equally delightful to
be responsible only to one's self and order one's
life as one chooses. Every day is a holy day
to me now and the sweetness of common
things, grass, flowers, neighborly love, grand-
children, and home comforts fill me with satis-
faction. To think kindly of all things under
the sun (but sin); to speak kindly to all; to
do little kindly acts is a greater good to the
world at large than we think while we are in
the heat of battle.''
