abstaining from food for

University Of Chicago. and one of his
assistants. recently endured starva.

experiment to investigate the hunger

Aside from the fact that Prof. Carl.
son and his assistant slept In the
formers laboratory at night in order
to facilitate the work of making
records, he went about his usual
duties of teaching and lecturing dur.
ing the Ave days of fasting.
Prof. Carlson does not maintain
that starvation Is azure for Ill health.

contractiops of the stomach did not
accompany each other, for after the
first day and UP to the end of the
third, hunger was continuous and
severe; but on the fourth and fifth
days the desire for food became
greatly diminished.
Prof. Carlson said that his appe-
tite remained good, and that he found
1t fairly easy TO dismiss from his
mind the thought of eating. His as.
sistant, on the other hand, did not
find the sight Of food at all pleasur.

nausea, Both OF the men said that
they felt somewhat weak and de.

Accordingly. the name Of Frank
Henry Smith is represented by the
numbers 69152, s5597 and 1928. Re-
ducing 6e152 to a single unit We have
6 plus plus 1 plus plus 2 equals

fore. the single digit OF Frank is 5.
Proceeding in the same way the
NUMBER S55s7 numerical valuation
of the name Henry and the number
1923 (the numerical valuation Of the
name SMITH are reduced to the sim
gle dlglts Z and 6, respectively.
Nov we have the three single
digits 5, Z and 6, representing the
namo Frank Henry Smith. To find
the single value Of the entire name,
we must reduce the number 90 to a
single digit as follows. plus z plus
G equals .1S, and, in turn plus
equals 8, Accordingly, the name of
Frank Henry Smith vihrates to the
number g..
since each number and letter
stands for certain principle 1t nee.
essarfly follows that the name which
includes many and varied numbers is
naturally considered stronger than is
the name more limited id its inclu.
slyeness,
"This law OF inclusion of letters

mean that q long name denotes
strong personality. Far from it, as

simply composed Of certain single
numbers repeated many times.
Every letter in the complete name

elusive vibration for its. bearer It
means more stock in trade, and
preparedness to grasp situation
when the opportunity does Come.
Numbers which are missing from
ones name are weak points In tho
main construction, which is explained
by the fact that a quality not pos.
sessed cannot be manifested by the
individual. This holds true until the
missing quality IS conscIentiously
and persistently deyeloped.n

These letters are not placed hap
hazardIy opposite their correspond
ing numbers, but they follow in rota-
tion Of valuation, as do numbers.
For example, the letter has the MI
merical valuation Of Z because 1t is
the 25th letter of the alphabet, and
the digit value of rs is Z e Dlus 5
equals y. The letter L has the NIL
mericul valuation OF 8, being the 12.h
letter o5the alphabet.Zl'he digit
value of IL is 8 Il pIus 2 equals 81.
ITO find the single unit Of a name.
place under each letter its number
value, and then find the sum of all
the numbers, and reduce each to Il
