HAS MAN TWO MINDS ? DANGERS OF THE THEORY OF SUB-CONSCIOUSNESS,

Sir Edward Marshall-Hall's plea before Mr. Justice. Darling that a client had written a letter, while in a sub-conscious. atate 'raises issues which are likely to be hotly debated both by the legal and medical professions, writes spcialist in a home paper.

Whilst much suppors for the theory may be expected from those with a leaping toward psychoanalysis, it is unlikely that the law, as represented by the judicial bench, will concede one inch in their defence of the theory of freewill in crime, on which our whole system of punishment is based.

If it is one admitted that araan has erred while in a sub-conscious, or, as the Freudians prefer to say, an unconscious state, and is, therefore, not responsible for his actions, who thereaftor can be found guilty, particularly of the more abnormal crimes, such as murder, which must be, even in the "normal" criminal. outside the range of habit and ordinary volition 1

The Frendiaus regard every man na having two minds-one conscious, the other unconscions. Into the latter is driven everything that is unpleasant. which may never appear in the conscious- Hess at all to disturb the general peace,

YEARS AFTER.

Unfortunately, they say, the unpleasant iden is not get rid of, and influences other matter. It has its est, namely. the emotional excitement which it arouses, In this way the girl who has begu crossed in love, to use an old illustration, may do some unexpected and apparently. unaccountable thing years after she has forgotten her disappointment, but which can be traced by the pevcho-analysts to that cause.

In the same way many crimes are explained which would otherwise remain inexplicable, and there is undoubtedly an enormous mass of evidence in favour of the theory as well as a great many cures.

The trouble about putting such a doc trine into practical offret in the criminal courts is that it really implies that there is no such thing as free will, and that every one of us acts in response to forces of which we are not conscious, and over which we have, therefore, so control. To punish any man would be manifestly un-

inst.

IF THE DOCTAINE 1B-ACCEPTED. Accept the doctrine, and there is nothing else for it but to-abolish the judges and put in their place a body of Skilled Freudian practitioners. It may be taken for granted that not only will this be resisted by about one hundred per cent, of the judges, but that British public opinion will not abandon its present attitue for a century or so to come:

It may be feasible, on occasion, to bring a psychoanalyst into court to support the statements of a person claiming un- consciousness for his act, but as there would always be quite number of older- Fashioned medical men prepared to scout the iden, we should be just where we were. And if the psycho-analyst is admitted, we cannot very well shut out the socio- logist, who is able to prove gaite con- incingly that the habitual criminal at least, to whom theft is a perfectly con- scious and normal profession, is the victim, if not of his early surroundings, then of his heredity;

All of which may be perfectly true; but as things are in an imperfect world, where the State has to maintain order ni all costs, any departure from the accept- ance of free-will as the guiding principle of the actions of citizens, would lead us into a maze of problems which we are not yet well enough equipped to tackle.

THE MEDICINAL VALUE OF COFFEE

HOW TO PREPARE G)

Seeing that seven men out of ten prefer coffee to tea, says a writer in a London paper, it is amazing that the brewing of a pot of good coffee should be practically an unknown Art in these islands..

As a nation we are not stingy yet nothing will induce the average cook to use sufficient coffee. She trease it as if it were ter, and flatly refuses to believe that a tablespoonful must be used where à teaspoonful of tea is sufficient. can she be brought to under- stand that must be freshly roasted and, freshly ground.

sometimes driven to wonder coffee still labours under the same with which it was regarded when ino- troduced into England in the middle of the 17th century. It wea first served at the George and Valture, off Lombard-street, and the Rainbow, in Fleet-street, but, from con- temporary records, it was evidently regard- ed in the light of a nuisance.

At any rate, in the year 1657 Mr. Fry, a barber and at that time proprietor of the Rainbow Was

presented by the inquest

of St. Danston's in the West "for making and selling a drink called coffee whereby. ia making "the same, he annoyeth bis neighbours by evil smells, and for keeping the fire the most part night and day, where by his chimney and chamber have been set Berta danger to the on fire, to

Oddly enough, the great Brint-Savaria abitter energy of coffee. Yet to-day the medical profession extols coffee as a preventive of malaria and a most useful stimulant. Some doctors even declare it a specific in cases of typhoid.

Since the Great War coffee is slowly com- ing into its own, and here is the simplest and

best recipe for for

making it:

Take a plain earthenware toffoe

jug. Metal should never be used in walking coffee. USB one beaped tablespoonful of freshly ground and roasted coffee to each piat of boiling water. Let the coffee stand in a warm place for two minutes akim off the froth, and coffee is then ready for the table

One more hint. Do not boil the milk for the breakfast, coffee, but take it off the ure just before it begins to bubble. And let me remind you that white crystallisod sugar put lump or ordinary brown-is the proper
