and Advises His Flock Not 10 Disturb
Their vibrations With visitors.
The Rev. DR.. Ottoman Oar Adusht Hanish,
eminent exponent Of the MazdaznAn philos-
ophy, Is In town again after IN absence OF "A
year. To an uniniiated Occidental MAJ
ola seems to partake somewhat uf
the nature of Razzledaazleism. According {"
the Denver Post DR.. Hanish's right name
Is Hennessey. Although he comes from
Chicago, where he has an institution for
| the manufacture OF mixed metaphors,
metaphysics and cures forall ills, he has no
ora cular Dooley to act as his Interpreters.
He appea red yesterday afternoon on Il
little red throne at Genealogical Hall before
the MazdaZnan Circle, whose members look
very much like othsrfolks and not 30 healthy

life" from the Hani4h- Hennessey point OF
view, which is various"

wore white robes, Il cardinal silk cape, Il
silken girdle with dangling tusselS, and
white shoes. When he lost himself In a
cloud Of rhetorical vapor his disciples
looked enraptured.

was the incarnate expression Of everything
there was every where. He represented the
animal, mineral, vegetable and all the other
kingdoms of which We knew or might
sometimes know. The power of man here

Most of us, in fact all of us, had been
sometime wandering around the Milky
Way and W. ought 80 to act that the present
residents of the Milky Way might rec0g-

Of VS. had just risen out of the MILKY way
and had not shaken of the bad habits OF
the Milky WavDacks; some of us had e
spun out Of the rings of Saturn and some
who had come from Nenus-well, they were
! very improper.
The Doctor got Il bit involved in trying

The Doctor answered questions written
+ by persons in the audience. In response
to Shall we give a beggar alms?' he said
the logger was like the bedbug, of no value
to the community, and should be allowed
to starve il he wouldn't work.
The question, WHAT can | do to improve
my hearing?' inspired the doctor TO hand
out this prescriptions.
Wash your feet in oil every morning
and take a half teaspoonful of sulphur for
the next ten days. Repeat it again in the
next thirty days and your hearing will
come back.
How shall / cure sore throat and hoarse-
ness of long standing?" prompted the
doctor to deliver this.
You eat too rapidly. Cut down your
dishes from five to three. Do not drink
with your meals until the end Of the next
six weeks. When you are thirsty eat fruits.
You say you ha We been accustomed to more
substantial food? You eat too much salt
and too many spices Cut them hem out they
the Juices you need. Eat with thanksgiving
in your heart and your food will taste all
right without salt and spices. You say
you will be hungry. You do not know
what hunger is, Wait until you feel like
d%evouring a crust that has been six weeks
in a cupboard and then you may say you
are hungry. Fasting is good for you.
Take the juice Of two lemons and a spoonful
OF salt and your sore throat will be gone"
The question, You say we came into the
world with our own consent. How do you
explain that?" made the doctor hesitate a
bit. But he came up smiling and said, in
highfaluting fashion, what may be trans
lated thus:
I'VE have always been here, We are
actually the originators of our own being.

To DIR intelligence" This answer seems to
be satisfactory to the disciples.
In response to u question from a man
who wanted to know how he was going to
fulfil his social obligations and abstain
from wine the doctor said that if it were
necessary for the man to drink wine in
order to draw out another man by all means
let him drink il, but not too much. Let the
other fellow be permitted to get full and
give himself away. The questioner might
even hire a cab to take the drunkard home.
So much the worse for the drunkard. The
way to get along in business was TO keep
sober, but you might get the other man as
full "a he was willing to get and profit by
his drunken revelations.
While the doctor was here last year one
of his women disciples was arrested for
practising medicine illegally. 1t was said
was beans and %violets." There was no
explanation OF this peculiar combination
of the emblem Of scented @sethetiCism and
Boston VigOr.
