Richardson Of 146 North Main srteet
has probably discovered it in his study
of an electromagnetic theory. Speak
ing about the matter yesterday he
said:
I'm the process Of natures evolve
nent, resultant from chemical causes
( and combinations, the highest and best
results are obtained where the highest
and purest chemical conditions exist.
The best condition of our energies is
after the process of digestion has
ceased and the nourishment has been
absorbed. the stomach remaining
qUiescent. Although the abdominal
organs support the constitution by
their contributions through the
thoracia direct they tax the constitu-
ton to the extent OF the nervous energy
they require for preparing the food for
absorption into the lymphatic glands.
Hence the highest nervous and
physical conditions obtain when the
climate requires but little food. The
chemistry from which these life-sus-
tanning forces and elements are evolv-
ed. is not always indicated upon this
chemistry alone. for light, heat and
ether forms of vibra ton are necessary
to produce that which / designate as
climatic conditions.
ITO illustrate: Chicago. Ill, stands
many degrees above, in the electro
magnetic power, any city within a
radius of several hundred miles: it has
controlled nealy every city within the
radius of its electro ma gnetic superb

faster. drive more rapidly, calculate
more shrewdly, think more clearly and
more quickly. and generally, as peo-
pie. are more active, energetic. and

pond with her lack of energy, being
many degrees less than in Chicago.
For years st. Louis was the princi-
pal city of the west. Standing on the
hank of the greatest commercial river
in the world, surrounded bw a rich and
fertile country. 1t is one of the great
est railroad centerS on the continent,
and is located between Chicago and the
great productive west. Yet thousands
of people each year pass through, or
by st. Louis, and carry mill
lions of dollars and pour them into the
Golfers of Chicago's energetic CAPT
talistS. Excepting Chicago, st. Louis
has no great rival near her. Chicago
has, beside s.. Louis, three rivals: De
troit, Milwaukee and Cincinnati There
was a time when each of these cities
-
is larger than the three combined. Chi
Caso has, within ten years. more than
doubled her population and her wealth:
while st. Louis has advanced about 30
per cent during the same period of
time. st. Louis has the advantage in
location, and many years the start.
Chicago the advantage in climatic con-
ditions, with the above mentioned re-
suits: hence St Louis will continue 10
move slowly forward in harmony with
her negative climate. while Chicago
will continue to advance rapidly. until
she becomes. as she will in time, the
