d of gaseous decomposition in our bodies--one in which
the atoms of the elements are resolved into electrons and so become the
foundation of new atomic structures. For the separation of atoms into
electrons and their entrance into new and different forms--that process
which is constantly taking place before our eyes in the external world
of Nature--must assuredly be likewise going on in like manner in the
human body.

_Food._

The world is just awakening and far more inquiry will now be made in the
future as to the chemical properties of food, and also as to its
necessary quantity and calorific value. It will then be clearly
appreciated that vegetable food has a higher value as a producer of
energy than animal food, because we find in it in more available form
the original elements of force which exists in all matter. For the
animal kingdom lives upon the vegetable kingdom and obtains every power
it has from vegetable atoms. In the vegetable kingdom the vibration of
the electrons is of an electrical character; therefore, vegetable food
is of value in the form of electrical force, through its nutritive
salts. By maintaining vital processes through its vibrations it renders
us another service of a magnetic nature. It is definitely known that
quite as much force is derived from vegetable as from animal food,
because the former is introduced into the system chiefly in the form of
a rapidly vibrating positive magnetic force. Because of its slow
vibration vegetable food manifests a lower degree of heat than animal
food, and plants possess less warmth than animals.

_Diet._

For this reason vegetable diet is distinctly appropriate in febrile
diseases. By reason of its more moderate vibration it is also the best
diet for nervous people.

_Food Standard._

The usefulness of any article of diet depends upon its adaptability for
entering into combinations within the system. This, in turn, depends
solely upon its higher or lower standing in respect to vibrations. This
is the reason why the human organism cannot subsist upon mineral food.

_Heat._

We need in our vital economy a definite amount of heat, or positive
magnetic force. This is lacking when the system neither produces enough
to meet its needs in compensation for expended energy or is not properly
supplied with food, fresh air and sunshine.

_Discretion._

For this reason it is well to remember that discretion must be used, as
any unauthorized, unwi
