"T0 EVERY MAN HIS GHOST"
Egyptians Firmly Believe That Each
Individual is Accompanied by
Shadowy Counterpart.

"The Egyptians believe, even to
this day, that. every man has a ghost"
says Prof. George A. Resner. recent
ly returned from Egypt with the Har-
ward expedition.
Statues of several thousand years
ago picture the Egyptian man with
his ghost. But the woman wasn't
considered important enough to have
one. SHE was the mans wife, and
that was considered sufficient honor
for her.
THE men took very good care of
their ghosts. At regular intervals
they went to the room where the ghost
was supposed TO live and placed food
offerings there for him to eat These
consisted of bread, onions and beer
1t was necessary TO repeat some mag
lc phrases which had the effect of
changing the physical nature of the
food so that it would be fit for con-
sumption by a spiritual being.
when man died he became iden-
tilted with his ghost On the inside
of the Egyptians coffin a black zig
gag line was traced to represent the
course which the deceased must take
through the underworld. At each turn
of the path was warning of the dan
ger TO be looked for at that particular
point and directions for avoiding it,"
