cr. There are four general ways IN which
it may be directed: (1) 1t may be
passed through the motor of the elec-
trio car and the force is expressed
as power; t2) it may be passed as 4
sympathetic current through the
little wire of the incandescent bulb,
and it becomes light: 60 it may be
forced through wire with heavy re-
sisting power, and it becomes heat;
"a but ground the wire and the cur
rent is wasted"
Let us apply this principle to the
human dynamo, and see how much it
has to do with personal magnetism
physical, mental, spiritual.
In every man and woman there is 4
life battery, so to speak; a creative
force, a life principle which, like the
electric current, may be used in four
special ways: ID You can pass it to
the muscles and build it into tissue,
and it becomes power-physical
strength; (2) you can direct it to the
brain, and it becomes light-intellec-
tual brilliancy and mental vigor; (3)
you can direct it to the emotions and
it becomes heat-feeling, love, sympa-
thy; ca but if you dissipate the force
you will have neither physical
strength, mental vigor nor emotional
warmth. 1t will readily be seen that
you cannot waste the force in any
direction without detracting, in cor
responding degree. from your
strength of personal magnetism" in
other directions.
Science says: THAT which we call
vitality or life is, in its physical sense,
electricity. 1t is taken into the sys-
tenn from the air and sunshine, and
is generated in the digestive organs
by the chemical action of food and
drink"
AS all electrified bodies tend to part
with their magnetism to the earth,
it follows that the human electricity
Is being constantly subjected to this
influence. Should it be drawn of in
undue proportion to the needs Of the
body, the system becomes weak and
deranged. It thus becomes neces-
sary to conserve the human electri-
city. This is done by insulation. by
placing a non-conducting substance
between the body and the earth, and
! thus check the drain. Insulation is
| scientific safeguard. This is not
mere speculative theory but the re-
suit of thorough investigation and
practical demonstration. However,
If conclusion is logical it matters
little whether it is deduced from
| theory or practice.
This is especially true Of the fol-
lowing experiments, the results of
| which may not be very readily accept
| ed by the general public; viz, all
things being equal, the left side of
the body is negative and the right
side is positive; the front of the
body is positive, the back is mega
tive. You take in this human cleo
tricity through the negative side of
| the body Qeft) and it passes out
through the right if anyone is on
| the right side to draw it. This the
writer has scientifically proved to the
| fullest satisfaction of the honest skep-
tic. Therefore, it is we'll to remem-
Der the trite but true saying: AL
ways keep on the right side of a per-
son." IT'S true, this has been used
only figuratively, but it is of great
importance literally.
! BY observing this precaution you
will be able to protect yourself from
the human parasites that exist in
every community This is a protec-
ton Of that physical magnetism so
essential to ones vital force. All
things considered, it is best to sit
in a position facing your visitor
be he friend or foe-unless an ex-
| change of magnetism is desired.
These human parasites draw not only
upon your physical forces, but upon
the mental and nervous, also, unless
| you understand how to make yourself
either positive or negative at will
If you are lacking ia personal mag
netism" (physicaD. aud you should
ride or walk or sit with one who is
| physically strong, you should take
that opportunity of loading up" by
! keeping on the right side.
Whenever two persons sleep to-
gether, and one is restful while the
other Is restless, you may depend
upon it that the restful one is I'M
consciously drawing the life force
of his or her companion. It does not
always follow that the weaker draws
from the stronger; nor is it a ques-
| ton of right side front or hack when
one is sleeping: /. e.. owing to the
many changes of position that occur
during the night; therefore, in order
that the restless one may have rest
full and refreshing sleep it is neces-
sary to change conditions This is
accomplished by changing sides (the
side of the bed) with your fellow
sleeper. Why? Because it equal
ICES the magnetism. How? The fact
is sufficient, the how is but a mere in
cident.
! How about the other fellow? If he
has been restful, will he now become
restless? That depends. If the rest
full one is surcharged with physical
magnetism the loss will not be percep-
tible; but If one has but an average
amount, the loss at first may be ap-
parent. but in very short time the
forces will be so evenly balanced that
the restful condition will be shared
equally by both.
