Show Your Health' v J , Human Electrical System Vital to Weil-Being... By James W. Barton, M.D. " Several years ago I wroU a aeries ae-ries of daily articlea comparing the body to the automobile: the arches of the feet, the carti-lsgss carti-lsgss la the Joints, the cushions cush-ions or disks between be-tween the bones f the spine, were the shock absorbers; food was the (as or fuel; the stomach stom-ach and small intestine in-testine mixed the ment present The brain is the storage battery. The human battery bat-tery supplies Intelligence, and the intelligence gives the human being be-ing control of the body machine. The human- battery is so much engaged m highly specialised duties du-ties that it does not have time for all the details of management that must go on constantly; if there Is any failure of these duties we become be-come sick or life ceases altogether. The main part of the brain directs di-rects the big matters and the second sec-ond part does the detail or mechanical me-chanical work. - ' The spinal cord Is the great cable from the battery, with branches, nerves, that pass out between the bones of the spine, supplying the various parts of the body with the energy necessary to do their work. Along the system are storehouses of energy called plexuses. Allow for Bechnrgiag To keep the human battery (brain and nerves) la good condition, con-dition, keep the mechanical end-digestion, end-digestion, exercise, sleep in shape by good daily health habits, and by switching off at times some of the brain .or higher cells of ths body and 'allowing time for recharging re-charging our battery through rest and relaxation. Coastlpetioa It has been estimated that there are more persons with constipation constipa-tion than there are without it. For information on this subject, send for Dr. Barton's helpful booklet entitled "Constipation.'' To obtain it, send 10 cents and a S-cent stamp, to cover the cost of handling han-dling and mailing, to The Salt Lake Tribune-Telegram, Home Service Bureau, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dr. Barton food to be digested di-gested as the carburetor mixed the air and gasoline; the brain and nerves were the battery and electric elec-tric system. In "Hygeia, the Health Magazine," Maga-zine," Dr. George A. Skinner gives us much information about the electric system In his Wonder Stories Sto-ries of the Human Machine. . In the automobile, the battery la the center of the electric system. It is the storehouse of electric energy and feeds all parts of the machine that use electricity. In starting the engine, a button Is pressed and soma myatsrlniis power pow-er spins the heavy pistons and crank eh aft until the gasoline commences com-mences to explode. The explosions are due to an electric current Jumping ' across two metallic points close together; in this Jump they produce a spark which Ignites Ig-nites the mixture of air and gasoline gaso-line above the pistons. The electricity elec-tricity also supplies lights inside end outside the car In addition to clocks, radio, cigar and cigaret lighter and other accessories. .
