GET AN ETHERIC SHELL
TO WARD OFF VAMPIRES
Miss Sommer, Theosophist,
Tells How to Prevent Sap
ping of Vitality.
IFrom a STAIR correspondent.1

IFrOm Stnu correspondent
CHICAGO, July Sit has been dis
covered at last-a way to foil the
vampires of vitality.
Miss Julia K. Sommer, president of
the Chicago Theosophical Society,
has discovered it.
And it's very simple. You just
grow an etheric shell around your
self!
Maybe you think you're not both
cred by any such Vampires but
listen:
Vampires of vitality explains
Miss Sommer, "go about absorbing
energy, from stronger personalities
and leaving them depleted. 1t is
these ravages upon our stock of
energy that tire us out.
We speak of the high pressure of
modern city life, the strain that
makes nervous wrecks; sbut it's mere
ly the sapping of vital force by
others, in the home, the office, the
theatre, the train, the street"
That's why it makes you so tired
to talk to some people and why 1t
rests you to be in the presence of
others. The former are vampires.
draining your strength. The latter
share their vitality with you. In the
latter case, 1t seems, you are the
vampires-but let that pass.
THE way to guard against being
deprived of force and vigor," says
Miss Sommer, lis to image an
etheric shell like soap bubble abOra
ones body The shell is egg shapes
and invisible.
ut takes a strong will to create
such shell, but 1t can be created
1t, and so have others of our so.
ciety.
Equipped with this protecting shell
we can go forth safely in the midst
of the unconscious kleptomaniacs
who would otherwise steal our
strength.
1T is necessary to sit three feet
away from vampire people. Other.
wise they may break through the
she'll and absorb the rosy light of our
soul strength into their own depleted
systems"
Persons in robust health give on
torrents of rose-colored vitality and
may feel none the worse for their
loss. Many unselfishly give their
energy to weaker persons who alb.
sorbs vitality like predigested food:
but most of us can't afford to be so

THE etheric shell is not imagin-

somewhat as auras have been pho

But it's enough for the possessor
to know that his shell is there, un-
known and invisible to the rest of
the world
