1000 the energy by which alone
life can be sustained.
This same process obtains in
response to the same law in
every grade Of life, from the
single-celled animal up. to our.
selves.
1t is in response to this law
that we are what the mechanical
engineers call prime movers"
which is to say that we generate
within us the power by which we
move and therefore have our
being.
This development Of power
must go on all the time whether
the power or energy itself is be.
ing expended or not.
1t is for this reason that the
generation Of the power within
us does not occur so much, or at
least exclusively, at the time of
taking food, but goes on con.
tinuously between meals.
This Is accomplished in the
individual cells of our body, lust
as 1t is accomplished in the in
dividual single-celled animal, and
consists of sort Of burning up
process which is kept up by the
oxygen that we take into our
lungs and that is carried to the
cells by our blood.
If the cells are not thus kept
supplied with energy they die
and as they die so do we die.
When a cell lives 1t multipIies
the new cells thus created taking
the place Of the old cells.
II it were not for this repro.
cuction, in response to another
natural law that obtains in every
form Of life, life itself would end
with a single generation.
But 1t is to be remembered
that this, too, required expendi-
ture Of energy or power and that
to supply this energy food must
be taken in manner, form and
quantity peculiar to each par
ticular form Of life.

ly about their troubles with
Il children, but they overlook
a subtle trouble which lies within
themselves.
One mother worries because her
child is Constantly getting into
mischief; as If the little mind
could possibly acquire its neces-
sary knowledge without a per-

able thing. The mind grows
through sense experience.
A second mother worries be-
cause her little boy Is lust nat

unless he is doing something you
have told him not to do" How
ever, it is possible to direct and
inspire the conduct Of a child so
that he will be "just naturally
obedient."
This time 1t is a father who
worries because his small boy
takes anything he can get his
hands on, not his own. The nor.
NAL tendency for all little chill
dren is to manifest in an animal
like fashion the outward form of
theft. 1t is merely un-informed
self-preservation--the first law of
life-expressing itself.

about their offspring. And the

wv HY do you eat food and
" why do you eat it with a
w certain amount of regu-
larity?
The whole answer may be
. given in the statement that you
take food in obedience to a pri-
mary law Of life, the natural law
by which you keep up those
movements that distinguish you
as a living being.
This law applies to every form
Of living being.
BY your understanding of this
fact and its full meaning you will
be able more intelligently to
solve many individual problems
Of existence.
The proper understanding of
Ill the laws of health, which is
to say the laws of life, naturally
begins with an understanding of
their existence in the simplest
rorm Of life.
The simplest form of life, of
individual life, is an animal con-
0isting Of a single jelly-like mass
called a cell, just as we are made
up Of billions upon billions of
similar cells.
The little single celled animal
that We cannot see with the naked
eye is not so small that It does
not take food.
1t lives by taking in little par.
ticles of matter smaller than 1t.
self, changing the character of
such matter by digesting 1t, util-
king only a fraction for its own
growth and throwing off the bal
ance as waste matter.
This is precisely what you and
and all of US do.
There is another particular in
which the taking and using of
nourishment by little single
celled animals is identical with
the same process in yourself, and
that Is that both extract from
