CJ D eny it as w e will there is a di£tinCt longing for longevity im planted in every hum an being, a Strong predilection for perpetuity of the p resen t physical ex­istence, a decided tendency to ra ther b ear the ills we have than " flee to others that w e know not of." In­deed , this preference for presen t physical torture (or p leasure, as the case m ay be) is a clear ev idence of partial sanity. W henever you find a person anxious to " shuffle off this m ortal coil," you can pu t it dow n that he is no t in his right m ind — there’s a screw loose som ew here in his m ental m achinery. H e has p u n c­tured his physical tire at som e poin t along the highw ay of life, and has " flattened o u t" and been unable to pum p up properly to resum e the journey. Life is not a ltogether unalloyed joy to him, due som ew hat, p e r­haps, to his negledt of opportunities, and disregard of p lain provisions of nature for his happ iness and w ell-being.C J M an is an anim al of appetites, passions and p re ju ­dices, the y ielding to w hich poisons the b lood, w arps the intellect and shrivels the soul, resulting in a dis­to rted view of life and its m eaning. D isordered phys­ical functions create a diseased m ind, w hich in turn reacts on the body causing w eakness and pain w hich

finally unseat the reason. T h en com es a desire for rest, a relief from pain , and suicide follows. W e live as long as w e really desire to — w e exhaust in terest in affairs m u n d an e an d nature does the reSt. S he will no t to lera te an excrescence, a nonen tity o r a d rone. W e are having m any instances of p ro longed physical existence, bu t p e rh ap s the moSt no tab le exam ple of m odern tim es is tha t of Capt. G. E. D. D iam ond, now of O ak land , California, bu t form erly of San Francisco, w h o m even the earthquake failed to deprive of life. Capt. D iam ond recently celebrated his 1 1 1 th b irthday w ith a vegetarian feaSt. H e attributes his longevity largely to his abstinence from m eat, hav ing lived on cereals, nuts, fruits an d vegetab les for 86 years, t} " T h e secret of long life is physical exercise, no m eat, and abstinence from alcoholic liquors an d tobacco," he says in a recent interview pub lished in 'Uhe San Francisco Examiner, the clipp ing from w hich w as sen t in by an E vergreen, from Stockton, enclosed in an en ­velope addreSt w ith th e follow ing original verse:

This to the Boss EvergreenRader — whose name may be seen

A t Olalla, W ash.,W here the natives, b ’ gosh!

Eat greens — like the kine, fat and lean.

Page 16: Volume 8 OCTOBER, 1907 Number

<1 T h e interview further quotes Capt. D iam ond: 11 Itw as in the fall of ’21 that I changed from m eat to veg­etables. I had been rheum atic, gouty, dyspep tic and generally m iserable. Since then I have en joyed sound health. W hy, along in the spring of ’42 I w as in an accident, broke five ribs, a leg, and w as b attered up generally. It w ould have killed an ordinary m an. •I " I received m y title of C aptain as chief G overnm ent agent during the Civil W ar. G eneral G rant w as my personal friend. I have lived in three centuries and see no reason w hy 1 should not live into another. If M ethuselah could do it I th ink I can."CJ T h en our facetious friend w ho favored us w ith the article u n d e r consideration com m ents in verse thusly:

In the year of our Lord nineteen seven,This old man says he’s hundred and ’leven;

H e came to this pass Eating nothing but grass,

A nd he aint in no hurry for heaven!

*

t j T his genial centenarian gives m uch good advice as to the m ethod to be adop ted to prolong this physical existence, and com ing as it does from one w ho is h im ­self living evidence of the efficacy of his ph ilosophy, w e can accept it w ith confidence in its pow er to do

Page 17: Volume 8 OCTOBER, 1907 Number

likew ise fo r any w ho will follow his teachings. O ne w rite r in 'U'he Coloradoan said he w as " as ch irp and alert on his 1 1 1 th b irthday as m any a youngster of six­ty o r less an d really d id no t look it. T h e C ap ta in d e ­clares tha t he sees no reason on earth w hy h e shou ld no t live to be as old as M ethuselah o r even older. H e attribu tes his great age an d vigor to the fact th a t he has b een a vegetarian all his life, tha t he does no t in­dulge in a lcoholic stim ulants n o r does h e sm oke. H e is also an enthusiastic advocate of the 1 D on’t-W o rry 1 theo ry an d says tha t only idiots fum e an d fret.”

H ere is a huge hunk of Capt. D iam ond’s cheerful living w isdom , w hich is w orth giving to E vergreens und ilu ted , fo r I o p ine th a t there is no t one w ho reads this th a t is no t in terested in life, an d desirous of p ro ­longing th a t existence for m any h u n d red years:

I’ve tried to be kind to those about me. T ha t's all to m y creed. I believe the Lord will always prov ide for those w ho trurt in Him, bu t H e experts you to hurtle for yourself ju rt a little. A nd that’s w hat I’ve done — hurtled and kep t on smiling.•I "F ac t is, I never th ink particularly w hat I eat — I th ink m ort folks get daffy on that idea.<1 " I’ve got several good, sound teeth in m y head , and I reckon it com es from exercisin’ ’em. I always chew m y food slowly and take p lenty of tim e at m y m eals an d usually m anage to get a lot of laugh ter mixt up in it. T h a t’s the b e rt tonic on earth for good diges­tion — plenty of laughing at m eal times. I’ve been at h o ­tels som etim es and on the big ocean liners and w atched a lot of folks eating as if they ex p erted to be hung fo r it. No w o n d er they have the dyspepsia. I’d choke if I h ad to ea t that way.

n No, it doesn’t m atter so m uch w hat you eat, as how you eat. T h a t’s the secret of good health . But I d raw the line on m eat. Not that I have any p artic­u la r objection, but I ju rt sort o ’ got out o’ the hab it oncet w hen w e w ere on a voyage round the H orn and got lort.

The Possible GirlM y girl is neither too dark nor too fair.

Nor is she too short nor too tall.Yet the grace of her manner is pait compare,

For m y girl is the girl of them all.

My girl is ever the pride of her friends,Likewise the n belle of the ball,"

A nd her bright, smiling ways make her live in our hearts, For my girl is the girl of them all.

T he sparkle and sheen of her Starry-bright eyes,T he brilliance of diamonds forestall;

Since their luSter and hue make my praises all true,My girl is the girl of them all.

O f her laugh I can’t tell, so delightful its spell.For its rippling cadence holds in thrall.

W hile the dimpling surprize of her smile doth beguile.For my girl is the girl of them all.

T h e tone of her tongue is a tune for all time,A s it tinkles and thrills in its call.

W ith a silvery softness surprizingly sweet,For my girl is the girl of them all.

W hile her voice is so sweet yet her words prove her wise, A s intelligence tempers them all.

Since her words are well worth the attention of earth, SXCy girl is the girl of them all.

seeks to elucidate the relation of the sexes to each o ther, upon FU N D A M EN TA L P R IN C IPL E S. I t recognizes neither artificial laws nor established custom s; all laws made and observed by man th a t do not conform to N atural Law cannot hope to endure.

I t is adm ittedly true th a t m an’s life, in its develop­m ent, runs in cycles, and each seven years is seen to ac­complish given objects; the Jirsl seven years being, all things considered, th e most vital, most im portant seven years o f life. T he entire organism is plastic. In th e hand of a M aster Sculptor an angel may be m olded, while ’neath the chisel of one who has " mist his calling,” th e finest of marble may be ruined.

This applies equally to the moral and physical m an.Im proper d ie t — in all th a t th a t implies — often lays

th e foundation for an unhealthy after-life. A t least th a t is th e tendency, and tendency is like hum or, th e most dan­gerous when inside.

Those who have given most to th e world, have been people whose first seven years o f life were romped in dai­sied fields k ist by th e rays of m other-sun and father-w inds and guided by wise instructors to obey (fulfil) th e law of N ature , relative to their being, w ithout th e blighting breath of superstition to mold the ir forming brain to ac-

ceptance of th e impossible.As th e child is nearing the close of th is first group of

circles, called years, i f N atu re’s design has not been abort­ed , or p erv erted , th e powers th a t have been concentrated in developing th e physical self reach out to " conquer o th ­er worlds ” ; th e child has attained th e age for accreting to itse lf inform ation not necessary to its m ere existence, bu t nevertheless vital to its well-being, for if it have th e ad ­vantage of scientific know ledge on th e plane of its under­standing, instead of superfluous idioms miscalled " educa­tio n ,” its brain-cells will expatid and increase, causing a yearning for investigation. In o the r words, th e m ind has become gross or solidified enough to retain know ledge con­cerning its being. Do not be content to feed th e growing mind w ith m erely th e wordy husks of " tex t-books.”

Be w ise, ye paren ts, ye guardians o f th e embryo g o (o )d , and see to it th a t they grow wings of aspiration; not those o f th e m oth who flutters around th e candle of superstition, which is now being so universally called " trad ition ” by both Pope and Rabbi.

W hen they have past th is incubator period, th e re is a noticeable independence of individuality due to N a tu re ’s preparation for developm ent of th e sex in th e individual, and it is during this cycle in th e life o f th e child, and of

course depending largely upon the child regarding the exact age, th a t i t should be taught E V E R Y T H IN G CON­C ER N IN G IT S OW N BODY, T H E U SE O F EA C H FU N C T IO N , T H E SC IEN TIFIC M A N IP U L A T IO N O F W H IC H M AKES H O LY EACH O FFIC E T O W H IC H EVERY ORGAN O F T H E H UM AN BODY WAS W ISE ­LY FO R M ED .

Sex is eternal, consequently universal. In th e more gross forms of th e universe, recognized as material, sex takes a positive or crystallized form,— hence we have two parts in forming one whole,— male, projective, and fem ale, receptive. In th e more sublimated forms o f m atte r in which th a t law holds good, we readily recognize mind and brain force; here we have the male and female force ex ­pressing th ru th e one organ. I f we could photograph th e fo rm s o f force, or action, in operation upon th e brain, we would see the feminine forms in horse-shoe shape (recep­tive) and th e masculine forms in shape of shafts (projec­tive) , w ith cross-bar a t base, A CROSS. These ethereal sex forms are ever propagating.

W hen a thought is projected, into th e mind, i t is received by one of these horse-shoe forms, and as th e two points forming the ends of th e horse-shoe-shape-receptivity grasp the p ro je c t or shaft, they close in biting fashion around i t ;

Page 25: Volume 8 OCTOBER, 1907 Number

if th e though t harmonizes, or arouses eager in te rest in the brain a ttacked , th e receptivity will allow — nay, invite, de­mand — th e masculine projection in fu l l , and th e projecting shaft enters th e receptive sheath or horse-shoe to th e cross­bar, thus reaching th e womb of th e brain w here conception takes place, and an idea is born. Ideas are th e children of th e brain, b u t th e ir gestative period differs in th e m a tte r o f tim e, from th a t of the offspring of crystallized sex forms, insomuch as th e children of the thought-w orld may be projected , conceived, gesta ted and born in th e flash of a m om ent, or, th e feminine faculties in th e brain may be fer­tilized, and lie in incubation awaiting th e warming rays of th e sun of opportunity to call i t forth in b irth as though ts or ideas, w aiting to be understood. If, however, th e though t projected is repulsive (less a ttractive) to th e h igh­est ideals of th e brain it is introduced to , th e two forces, male and fem ale, rebound to the opposite poles of a ttrac ­tion th e instan t they come in contact, and th a t brain will have to grow (unfold) to th e acceptance of certain tru th s , or, if its tendency be high and th e though t gross, be p e r­verted by stronger w ill-power able to control natural te n d ­encies, before th e masculine powers may hope to in ject h igher tru th into a w eaker fem inine, or rape the b irth -righ t of a higher one.

Page 26: Volume 8 OCTOBER, 1907 Number

As m atter in th e more sublimated form in nature is studied, the stronger law in itse lf is seen to be; it is a more difficult task to rape the virtue of the mind than th e vir­tue of the body.

I f any reader take issue with me regarding the grades of m atter, and prefer the term " spirit ” or " spiritual ” ap­plied to the ethereal, I have but one condition to m ake — call E V E R Y T H IN G spirit. I t is e ither M atter and Gross M atter, or Sublim ated Spirit and Spirit, according to d e ­gree; a " distinction w ithout a difference,” the re is no d i­viding line; they are interchangeable, in te rdependen t; the finer perm eating the grosser, assimilating, w ithdraw ing, ever changing position. Change is eternal.

Thus it is readily seen th a t each individual is male and fem ale in the realm o ffin er forces. I f thoughts in th is a r­ticle, new to the reader, be A CC EPTED, then th e w rit­er, altho in th e crystallized sex form, a woman, becomes, in th e realm of thought-force, F A T H E R to the brain chil­dren born o f these thoughts; and the reader, tho a m ale, if he conceives in the realm of brain as a result of such pro­jec ted though t, is ju st so far absolutely feminine.

As mind may be term ed the operator and brain th e instrum ent, the mind of the child should be so occupied as to bring th e best results to bear upon th e formation of

th e gi’owing brain thus determ ining its capacity for tru th . T h e education of the growing mind is b u t th e application o f th e SEX LAW . T he parents (though ts) of th e brain chil­dren being norm al, free from superstition, honest, th e ir off­spring (ideas) will be healthy , uncrippled tenants o f expand­ing brain cells. 1 say " tenants ” advisedly, because he who would reach th e richest goal, is he who employs th e tru th of yesterday for th e attainm ent o f a grander tru th today.

T h e sex life o f th e child should be wisely d irected in building grandly in the realm of mind.

M ind, th e operator, will personally superintend m inute­ly th e architecture of th e brain.

See to i t , parents of growing children, th a t no one fathers th e ideas gestating daily in th e m inds of your chil­d ren , and indelibly stam ping the ir effects upon th e ir plas­tic brain, who would cripple them w ith superstition and shirking of personal responsibility.

As the child nears tha t delicate and all-im portant tim e in its life, its " te en s ,” when the sex life is making itself manifest th ru the so-called " natural ” organ of th e body, then is th e tim e it most needs wise direction in using its sex powers. Show the child the scientific manner in consum­ing its sex fires for self cow-struction; for if these fires are allowed to burn and waste, they will consume th e child to its D E-struction. Wisely direct the sex force from body to brain to the end of the child’s growing season, which is from 18 to 22 years of age, according to the individual.

W hen this period is reached, your guardianship, so far as natural law is concerned, ceases.

T he next cycle in the life of the child is a fully round- ed-out individual, one capable of deciding th e personal needs of its sex life. When growth in thebody ceases, the " off-spring ” has reached the extrem e limit to which the pair (parents) were able to send it from them selves by the law of reproductive force, into " space ” or th e " w orld ,” and must now take up the law and exe­cute it for itself, and RE-generate by th e same law th ru which it was generated.

T he true Equipoise of Sex is th a t balancing of use b e­tw een th e gross and sublimated parts of our bodies.

PH Y SIC A L contact, a t longer or shorter periods of

Page 29: Volume 8 OCTOBER, 1907 Number

tim e, is absolutely essential in the attainm ent o f th e h ighest to th e hea lthy , normal woman and man. I t is th e law th a t quickens. To quicken a living body is to add life. I th ink it is readily recognized th a t, to add fuel to a burning fire, results in one of two conditions: e ither th e fire will burn more fiercely and consume more quickly, or will replenish and thus will increase its duration. T he use or ?«i.v-use of sex fuel is identical with coal and gas, and th e fire th a t is k indled may be e ith er life-giving or consuming, according to th e wisdom displayed in the application o f th e fuel. T he sex relations of woman and m an should be governed in th e order N ature ordained. Woman should be ready to re ­ceive, which means invitation — nay, if you please, COM­M A N D , before man is capable o f recognizing wom an; o ther­wise, i t is violation of th e h ighest note in th e scale of N atural law in th e universe.

I f our boasted civilization has carried one precious tru th to th e dum p w ith our cast-off crudities, le t us dig among th e debris and restore to th e race its b irth righ t. T ru th , and tru th alone can liberate us from thraldom .

In th e infancy of our race we were controlled in our sex relations, as in A L L relations, by fundam ental princi­ples; i. e ., manipulation was governed by necessity. Food, th e natu ra l fuel o f th e body was used as such; wa-

Page 30: Volume 8 OCTOBER, 1907 Number

te r (only) to quench the th irst. T he sex organs were for reproductive purposes O NLY, not financial profit; and N ature spoke as truly to our fore-parents the tim e for copulation as to the seasons for bringing th e " glad tidings of g rea t joy ” in th e budding of flower and fruit. T he recognition of this fundamental principle in th e life of the human race, will eventually bring peace where now is war, transform dis-ea.se into ease, and hate into love. T he roads th a t lead to this haven, may be legion, but certainly the main one is ECONOM IC FREED O M FO R W OM AN.

Restore to the mother o f the race her exploited birth­right. W ith woman chained to the crime of th e " middle ag es ,” when she lost to man the righ t o f ownership of her own body, how can any Equipoise in Sex relations be a t ­ta ined, -when man is fundamentally form ed to be governed in those relations?

Woman is, by N ature constructed and attuned to a more delicate note in the scale of human formation, in her needs, than man. N ot only more delicate in her personal needs, bu t she EM BO D IES th e needs of the race. By N atu re , her sex needs are periodical. In th e economy of N ature she is Q U EE N of her own domain, and m an is bu t her SU B JEC T. N ature gave to man the poxuer o f response

EVERGREEN STATIONERYMany Evergreens are somewhat particular as to the kind

of stationery they use, and are not always able to get what they want at their local job office. Why not let us supply you? We give our work a distinctive, individualistic flavor that is pleasing to persons oI perception and discrimination. It has the smell of the pine and the cedar and the fir about it, and brings to the user a touch of the far-famed “ Chinook ” wind, warm­ing in winter anil cooling in summer! Samples and prices will be furnished on provocation. Try a Puget Sound product.T H E E V E R G R E E N S : P R I N T E R S f o r P A R T I C U L A R P E O P L E
