Believe Absolutely in Him.

Just how many Atlanta women are of
his cult is hard to determine but the
Altrurians believe absolutely and i'm
plicitly in DR.. Fealy and his work. They
say he is a great healer, a master of
the science of vibrations, and to his all
seeing eye there is neither distance nor
matter
The writer sat in the drawing room
of the home of north side woman of
social prominence as she spoke of Fealy
the Yogi and his work.
He is master" she said. In him
have perfect faith. l have studied
under the great Hindoo mystics who
have visited Boston and New York, and
I have known DR.. Fealy for year l
do not merely believe in his powers
know
1T is all vibrations Matter is mere
ly vibrations. There is really no such
thing as matter That chair is merely
one form of vibrations, the table is an
other Change its vibrations and you
change it into something else When
one is i'll his vibrations are disarranged.
The Yogi knows what is wrong and by
his will corrects it.
1T isn't exactly theosophy, nor Budd-
hism, nor any one creed. We take the
best from all. Buddha, Mohammed,
Christ-they are all accepted as great
leaders Our law is the law of perfect
peace to every living creature. The
nearer one attains this state the nearer
one approaches perfection. We have
been studying under DR. Fealy for many
months. Some of us have learned
great deal Oh, yes. he believes in re-
incarnation. What we can not attain
in this life we may gain in our next
incarnation.

and serious attacks of nausea, while
one member of the squad was in such a
serious condition after taking the caf-
feine-laden water for the first twenty
days that he had to be placed in a spe-
cial ward in the hospital He received
constant attention, has recovered and
at the college is said to have rejoined
the squad
The poison squad" at the Hahne-
mann college was formed very quietly
1t came into existence on March 1 and
is under the direct supervision of Dr.
Edmund r. Nesbit, director of the Her
ing laboratory of the college
DR.. Nesbit called for volunteers from
among the students. He said he wanted
men who were willing to do something

most perfect physically were chosen.
eleven as regular members of the squad
and three as alternates
For thirty days the members of the
squad were given doses of caffeine
while DR. Nesbit and his assistants
made personal observations. taking the
pulses and temperature of the members
of the squad and making notes on their
general physical condition 1t was not
until within the last few days that one
member of the squad weakened under
the experiment to such an extent that
ii was necessary to send him TO the hos
pital. DR. Nesbit refuses to reveal the
name of the student who collapsed, but
declares that through proper treatment
Immediately he soon recovered
The caffeine was administered in a
solution and was mixed with the water
the squad drank. The students did not
know when they were getting the caf-
feline. There were no stated times for
giving it in order to keep the mind of
the student free from worry in order
that the physical condition might not
be changed materially through the ac-
ton Of the brain.
Before joining the poison squad"
each student had to sign a release
against any action for damages against
the college. =
The laboratory was organized about
hfteen months ago with Dr. Nesbit as
director. and almost Immediately an
exhaustive study was started to ascer-
tain the destructive qualities of caf-
feline as used in food stuffs
The students continued to live at the
dormitories or at boarding houses but
they were required TO take their meals
at the training table located in the hos
pital near the diet kitchen Before
each meal the temperature was record
ed, the pulse beat and respiration were
taken and the blood pressure was test
ed During the period the drug was
administered only DR.. Nesbit knew the

CHICAGO STRIKE
MOTIVES
Shiny Hand of Politician and
VenaI Labor Leader Behind
1t, Says Lynch.

CLEVELAND, OHIO. Aug. 13.-Dis-
cussion of the Chicago newspaper strike
had prominent place in the annual
neport of President James NJ Lynch, of
the Typogra phical union, at its conven-
ton here.
The report, although not naming the
Socialists, referred to them by un-
mistakable inference criticising them
sharply, Regarding the Chicago strike,
President Lynch said:
Il have no intention of criticising
any members political belief or at
tempting to influence his political opin-
ions; those are sacred and they are for
the individual to form
But whore the questionable phase OF
politics is injected into trade disputes,
where, in fact, politics Is responsible
for those trade disputes, where indus
trial disturbance is fomented and prep
agated In order to advance or disas~
trously affect the political fortunes of
some particular party or individual,
then those members of the trade union
movement who allow themselves to be
used for sinister purposes are open to
criticism. If not contempt
Malicious Revenge"
IF the Chicago situation, to which
refer exhaustively in this report, was
not caused in the first instance by I'M
der surface political effort, then
the Shiny hand OF the professional poll
tcian and the venal labor leader was
In evidence before the incident had
progressed very far. Opportunity was
presented for the wreaking Of malicious
revenge against one publisher who is
prominent in national politics
Il care not the party which stoops to
avail itself of the tactics I outline that
party or those members of 1t who are
responsible should be promptly con-
demned. The Interna tional TypograpF1-
ical union is the tail of no political
kite"
One of the Chicago delegates asked
that L. p. Straube, Of the Chicago
Stereotypers union, be given the privi-
lege of addressing the convention on
the pressmen's strike.
President Lynch ruled that L. P
Straube was not a member in good
standing of any trade union
