have carried mental power and spir-
itual development farther than any
one else in the world.
Works on this subject always fall
under suspicion. The reasons are
too obvious to need discussion. The
present book has foreword by Sir
Francis Younghusband which speaks
something for its authenticity.
1t is an account of many meetings.
Mr.. Brunton sought out and ques-
toned many types Of men who pro-
fessed to have powers beyond the or
dinary, or who had disciples who did
their processing for them. He met
fakirs and magicians who performed
astonishing feats. But they were not
the men he was looking for. However,
he recounts what they all told him.
And In the Great Sage. the Maha-
rishee, he encountered one whose
teaching appealed to him profoundly.
1t is a type of book which, though
interesting, cannot be taken at the
authors valuation. For it Is plain
that genuine spiritual experience Is
incommunicable in words. One does
not like to say even that much. 1t
simply ought not to be mentioned at
all Therefore, when a man writes
a whole book about 1t, one feels that
it is the copy value of the quest
rather than the psychic, which has
led him on.
One does feel. however, that the
bare facts Of Mr.. Brunton's quest make
an interesting narrative, and, find
ings apart, one can recommend 1t for
them.

Nelson & Sons.
TN LESS than 800 pages Mr.. Sullivan
congresses science" from its most
elementary subject matter to Planck
and Einstein, from the dimensions of
the earth to the principle of uncer-
tainty.
Markets have been flooded with
popularizations Of science in the last
few years. Ssme of them should them
selves be popularized. The scientists
themselves write more lucidly and in
terestingly than their interpreters.
Some, on the other hand, sadly under
rate the intelligence of the reading
public, with a rather characteristic
journalistic conceit Scribblers who
know little write with an affected su-
perciliousness for the supposed benefit
of readers who know much more.
None Of these criticisms can be ad-
vanced against Mr.. Sullivan. He
doesn't apologize. He doesn't strut.
He does a splendid job of lucid con-
densation. The result is a highly
readable handy reference book Sell
dom has the material been presented
before so clearly, Interestingly and
briefly as in this book, which has

PERSIAN CONQUEROR. BY George
S. Hellman. New York: Dodd Mead

THE title Of this novel may lead one
to hope that Mr.. Hellman has
invaded the realm so pleasantly oc-
cupied W to now by Mr.. John Frs
kine-that is. the realm Of the his
torical satire. But perusal Of few
pages will destroy the anticipation.
Mr.. Hellman, 1t Is true, has written
q romance on the life Of q character
Ia history-the Persian King Cyrus.
But it Is in no sense o satire. It is
deadly serious. It begins seriously
and 1t gets seriouser and seriouser
with each succeeding page.
The characters are the King Of the
Medes, the King of the Lydians, the
King Of the Babylonians and, Of
course, the King Of the Persians.
There Is also . young lady named
Leah and the Lord God of Hosts. The
latter, t. be sure, remains of stage,
but accomplishes wonde-- with thun-

THIS is q story Of o little middle

he might be free to marry another

It is one of those serious, sound
novels that are written every season
and which are blameless but incapa-

follows the misadventures of the little
man, that he was starving for love

would not give him; that he had lived
an irreproachahle life until the giving
Of the poison, and that If he had es-

would have gone on as frreproachably

Smith talk was strong there. It will
not coalesce. The sta ement obtained
from w. r. Hearst at SAN Simeon &C
curately sums up the futiEty of such
movement. He, an original sponsor
Of it, said the leading conservative
Democrats, who could give it mo-
mentum, are afraid.
What he also probably meant was
that the Democrats, displeased with
the New Deal, are unwilling to under
take an insurrection, which would
only help the Republicans. They still
think bad Democrats are better than
good Republicans.
Similarly there is no prospect Of q
third party representing the large
surge groups, wealth sharers, Cough
linites, Townsendites and Epics. Mr..
Roosevelt appears to have cut ground
from under all these, except possibly
the Townsendites. The old-age crowd
will probably exert strong influence on
both major parties during preparations
for the election next year. They are

Concerning the eggs the report

numerous investigators that the white

"One of the most common and ex-

This idea ignores the fact, says the
report, that a large proportion OF
staple food articles contain both starch
and protein.
Other ideas listed as fallacies were
To eat but one kind of starch or one
kind of protein at a time, to think
that arthritis comes from improper

MILWAUKEE. October s.-"Acid-
osis" was branded as nutritional
quackery in a report today by a
committee on nutritional problems
submitted to the American Public
Health Association.
The committee report also held that
feeding the whites of raw eggs to
invalids and other similar dietary
ideas were without basis and con-
demned them in a report on food
fallacies and nutritional quackery"
The great popular demand for in
formation about foods and health
during recent years" the report said
has resulted in an increasing and
alarming amount of exploitation OF
false and harmful ideas foisted upon
the public by dietary quacks, faddists
and self-styled nutrition experts"
Acidosis Defined.
"'Acidosis' is term frequently
and effectively used by the purveyors
of food fallacies. Nearly all the
diseases that aff1ict mankind can be
found enumerated as the result of
acidosis caused by eating acid foods
Elaborate menus are offered for
alkali-forming meals, and systems of
dieting which can be had by pur-
chasing their books or enlisting their

claim that aeidosis will result from
eating bread and meat or certain
combination of foods, such as pro-
teins and starches or fruits and
starches, is entirely unsupported by
scientific evidence.
