HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Apr11 IT,
BY gaining control Of your sub.
conscious mind you can keep from
going crazy. And, too, by making
the subconscious mind remain in
the background Of your thoughts
which IL the place where it rightly
belongs-you can avoid nervous
prostration.
And then, TOD, II you bring your
subconscious mind into subsection
you will solve the mystery of why
so many married couples are un.
happy.
Conflicting Thoughts.
The whole trouble is that every
person Is a human radio broadcast

The conclusions you have Just
read are those Of DR.. William Fran

told the Cosmopolitan News Service

five days "sleep fast"
DR.. Kelley is graduate medical
doctor, but turned some years ago
to the wider field Of mental sug-
gestion and its power for good or
evil on the human race.

People Are Radioactive.
EVERY living thing il more or
less radioactive; that is to say, all
Of us are radio broadcasting sta
tons. The simplest proof of this is
q very common experience in many
Of our lives. Very often we will
enter a room in which there is a
group Of persons and one person in
that group stranger to us-im.

this Is that the stranger is broad.
casting subconscious thoughts
which are contrary to and in con-
flict with our own Subcongctous
thoughts.
at seemed to me that II we could
study the workings Of our Subcon-
scious mind we could avoid that
sort Of mental clash as well as the
mental friction which is q part Of
our daily life. This mental fric-
ton comes from q sense Of competi.
ton, love, hate, or desire, all Gle
ments within our subconscious
mind. AS any one Of these elements
predominates we become acutely
nervous.
'The final result is one Of two
things, either we suffer a nervous
breakdown or we go insane. That
is, Of course, if the subconscious
mind is allowed to dominate us.
"In the forty-five days which I
went without sleep I accomplished
far more than had expected and
know now that it is possible to
get the upper hand on our sub
conscious mind and remain normal,

the forty -five-day period into def.
proximate the phases OF my eX-
perience.
"The first phase covered a period
Of six days. My thoughts were no
different than at other times, and
my most difficult task was to keep
awake.
Second Phase.
I'm the second phase, from the
sixth to the twentieth day. I was
subject to conflicting thoughts and
emotions. Desire for sleep left me.
"In the third phase, beginning
about the thirtieth day, developed
an extremely active disposition and
internal calmness. I had reached
what psychologists term a rational.
izing stage.
"In the fourth, or final phase,
was able to bring my subconscious
mind into complete subsection.
IAN important and revolutionary
aim in these experiments I am
making in association with fellow
psychologists to control the sub
conscious mind IL that we are en-
deavoring to eliminate sex from
| love.
AT present the sex element in
love is magnified. Sex extreme is
the cause Of most domestic difficult
ties. OF course, money and other
causes play part, but we have
found that once the sex element--or
subconscious minds placed under
subsection, the money differences
and other petty annoyances grad
ually disappear because husband
and wife become more tolerant Of
each other.
women will find it much easier
than men to master their subcon-
scious minds, because the average
woman thinks on q plane con-
siderably above the thoughts Of the
| average man."
