DIAGNOSIS Of

Or. Abrams Tells Chicago
Scientists Disease 10 "Eleo-

BY JOHN L. sPIvAK.
Internntiona News Service.

CHICAGO. Sept. 27.--The. amaz.
ing assertion that from the hand.
writing on a letter or a note can
be diagnosed disease and its exact
location Of the body OF the writer
was made by DIR. Albert Abrams,
of San Francisco, who is here to
lecture before a medical body. in
an exclusive interview given to the
international News Service.
Not only can diseases be dag.
,nosed from handwriting. but the
sex of the writer, whether living
or dead. and the location Of the
writer at the time the writing is
examined also can be determined.
DR.. Abrams asserted.
"I know this sounds grotesque,"

Series have gone down In medical his.

Life Theory Accepted.
The electronic theory which DR..
Abrams worked on for more than ten
years is based upon the accepted
fact that all life is electronic motion.

his claim by $4,000 infallibly dag.

nothing more than the electrons

"electrons gone mad" And to cure
all diseases. all that is necessary is
to combat the radio-activity which

ease could flourish. Clear the soil
and no weeds will sprout. The doctor
of the near future will be a physio-
logical farmer who will clear the soil,
and with the clearing OF the soil, pre-
vent the roots upon which germs
fasten."
A commission OF British scientists,
it was learned, attracted by DR..
Abrams theory and amazed that ap.
plication of il really produced results,
will leave for San Francisco for a
careful investigation of the Abrams

asserts he can cure; declined even
to investigate his method.

DR.. Abrams stated that he ex.
pected to be in New York on October
and 4, and when asked whether he
would submit to a scrutiny Of his
method In diagnosing and treating
diseases of the body, by reputable
scientists. stated that he challenged

brations are the latest of latest

That is a theory propound-
ed by members of the Ameri-

clare, and they are investigat-
ing methods Of keeping the
vibrations in harmony and thus
the whole system in health.

nowledgement that they have lost con-
troll. Theye was a time when they did
control them, but by neglecting their
duty as parents they have allowed
them to drift into disregard of their
wishes. There are some parents who
should be sent to the reform school

of our towns declares that the city

ance changed 1t so that the parents
would be arrested, for its violation by
their children. Since parents are ar
rested for failing to send their chill
dren to school, why should 1t not be
just as reasonable to deal with them
for not keeping them off the street
after the prescribed time? More than
we generally think God holds parents
responsible for their children.
Is that child, with its natural inn

LOSES
TO HAROLD
Second Game Of Season Goes To vlsi-

The "Millerites' lost the second
game of the B. a Y. League schedule
to Harold Sunday, when the boys
from the west took advantage of their
hits and Miller's errors and chalked
up 6 %tallies, while the best the Miller
ties could do was to get three across
the home plate.
At several times during the game
the locals threatened to score the runs
needed to tie. but on each occasion
n of the visiting players would pull
down what ordinarily would have been
a safe hit and turn it into a put out.
The game was an interesting one to
watch and Miller was not out of the
running until the final out in the 9Th.

A GREAT DECISION
Joshua 24:15

The bible chronicles many decisions
of f~or-reaching importance.
The call of God came to Abram to
leave his old home and his country.
and proceed toward a land that God
would give him for q possession. The
challenge was to leave that which ne
knew he had for something uncertain.
He must make a decision and that
decision made his name to live for
ever.
Moses came at last to the day OF
ACCESSION, as he stood in the court of
the king OF Egypt. He must forsake
his people and his God, or decide to
take the place for which he had doubt
less been educated by tn kings daugh-
ter. How much of a struggle 1t was
for him to give up all the glitterfng
prospects which lay before him, we do
not know. To leave all this behind
and identify himelf with a nation OF
slaves, required the finest kind Of
courage. But we read that he forsook
Egypt not fearing the wrath Of the
king" And the name of Moses stands
In the list OF the greatest OF men.
A rich young ruler came running
to Jesus and inquired OF him n way
of eternal life. When told to keep the
commandments he declared that he
han lone so all his life, ami he them
asked, what lack / YETI" Then came
his great test and decision. He re-
fused to identify himself with a great
cause, and we hear OF him no more.
PLATE might have decided for Jeshs,
but with full knowledge that he was
sending an innocent one TO the cross,
ne released unto them Barabbas, the
guilty one. II was Pilates hour OF
decision and he decided wrong.
In this text we have the decision
OF a great and good man. Men are
coming to the valley of decision
every day. The thing you do today
is the thing you decide to do. IL that
artion is of a Nature to rereiye the
condemnation Of men you may blame
it on your environment 90 your circun
stances, but II has not been done with
| out the consent OF your will. Yot
must have decided to do II.
!, The time had come when Joshu;
| must demand from the people he hat
led into the promised land, a decision
as to their future attitude toward God
Before the peoples answer came. h
announced his own decision: "As 10
me and my house we will serve tn
Lord" II was a personal and indie
pendent decision. He did not base hi
future action and attitude toward Go
upon what others would do, but upo'
what he believed was the right thin
to do.
Another admirable thing about hi
decision wal that 1t was made public
