when. as mattereof fact. very little is
needed to maintain structure and keer
it in repair. once it is completed a person
whose individual breath is fully estab-
lished can not entertain ether than whole
some ideas and inclinations. he declares
Such d person will know when and what
10 eat and drink, and his stomach will no
| longer be an abused receptacle constantly
burdened with the unnecessary. but a
laboratory where perfect results win be
accomplished. =.
Among the many unusual things taught
/ by Dr. Hanish is that each person has
twelve senses, seven full and FIVE half
senses, which correspond TO the seven
full notes and five half notes of the must
cal scale, and further, that these twelve
senses. co-ordinately developed. give a
thirteenth, which assures poise and self
| direction. ard is known as common sense.
DR.. Hanish gives implicit directions for
putting and keeping the body in the con-
dition necessary for mental and spiritual
development. To begin with. when you
lie down TO sleep at night you should drop
the past as completely as if it had never
been. and when you rise in the mornig Il
should be as if you were born 10 a new
life
On rising you should first take a cold
sponge bath and after drying the skin
perfectly rub the whole surface OF the
body until it CLOVIS. going over it after
ward with the hands until the skin feels
smooth and velvety.
When the underclothing has been put
on and the windows opened, stand erect
with the head well back. the chest raised
and thrown forward while the shoulder
blades are held back and down. with the
hands open as if ready 10 grasp objects
too low TO be reached. With the muscles
of the face perfectly relaxed. the mouth
closed. inhaIe as long as possible without
strain.
When the lungs have been filed to their
utmost capacity raise the arms with a
backward circular motion as far as il
can be done with ease, at the same time
moving the tongue and bringing the lips
together as if masticating. swallowing the
saliva as it accumulates. Before exhaling.
bring the arms down. and. holding them
backward. expel the breath slowly until
the lungs are completely emptied.
This is repeated seven or more times.
DIR. Hanish says that the benefit to be de-
rived from this exercise is quite Impossible
TO estimate and that it is a sovereign
tons, debility and nervousness.
The directions for the second exercise
in this system are TO sit well back in
chair with the back to the light. the feet
resting firmly on the floor. the muscles of
the whole body relaxed, but with the spi-
nal column erect. The hands are placed
on the limbs near the body so that the
thumbs and index finger form V

and with the tongue resting lightly
against them. slightly curved upward,
and the eyes fixed on some object on a
level with them, the lungs are iemptied.
Then inhale slowly. with perfect rythm
for seven seconds. Then exhaJe the same
way
While this is being done the mini is to
be fixed on the fact that this is being
done 10 take into the body the life princi-
pie; the great essential essence. This ex-
ercise is for the perfection of the sight:
the power to discern physically and men,
tally.
There are eleven more exercises in the
Mazdaznan breath and health culture
system each one Of which has distinct
purpose. DR. Hanish affirms. and his !
pupils reinforce his assertion. that when /
these exercises have been perfectly mas
tered in their order an elasticity OF body. /
clearness of mind and strength of memory !
are gained and maintained which will 1
bring a realization of the kingdom Of /
heaven within that never has and never !
can be found elsewhere.
AS an illustration of the principal re-
suits of his system of eating and breath
ing. Or. Hanish relates that year ago
last summer. with a party of five men and 4
six women who had been his pupils. he
assembled Pixies Peak. BY way of prepar-
atom the party ate nothing the day before
