BY NELL RAY CLARKE. F you are living happily with your hus- i pand, it is probably because by luck ; there is a natural chemical affinity between you. If you are unhappy, then perhaps your husband may be chemically unsuited to you. If the chemical antagonism isn’t too great, then perhaps by feeding him properly—by giv- ing him foods which put certain chemicals up- permost in his blood stream—you may be able to patch up your difficulties and live together peaceably, if not rapturously. Perhaps your own temperament, characteristics and tastes, as well as your health, need serious attention if you are to live the fullest and happiest kind of life. These are the beliefs of Dr. E. Tulley Yonge of Chicago, a charming woman who has set mypeopleenchepthm!upnws;ndsuc- cess and whose sage advice has been sought by numbers of business executives in choosing de- sirable personnel for their offices and factories. “We know that 16 principal chemical ele- meats go to compose the tissues and fibers of the body,” Dr. Yonge recently said during a visit to Washington, “and that the prevalence of one or more of these elements over others controls the personality, the temperament, the physical appearance and the character qualities of each mndividual. We have been abile to rec- ophise 22 distinct types of temperaments and, of course, there are numbers of people who do not readily fall within one of these classifica- tions, but represent a combination of two or more types. ccondmemmhnfinctypumou _ men is the calcium man. He is tail and angular, with fair skin, fair hair and biue eyes, prominent features, and is generally serious in disposition. He is an ‘early to bed, early to rige’ individual and really likes work. He con- siders that dancing, sight-seeing, shows, night clubs and such frivolities are wastes of time. “Of coure, it would be paving the way for marital troubles for a man of this type to a woman of the sodium type, who wants late in the morning and stay up late desires excitement, who must quick, alert and restless. amatic sense and a Her skeptical, critical be a FEIRERS it il § i % L however, they cultivate people with a view to using them. These people usually are heavy through their shoulders and chests and some- times heavy through their abdomens because they have a tendency to overeat, but their characteristic weight is carried in the upper portion of their bodies. They are usually lively, animated, love excitement and are always on the go. They have many acquaintances and friends. “The oxygen people are, as a rule, fair in com- plexion and_ are responsible for giving blondes the bad reputation for fickleness and undepend- ableness. Of course, all blondes are not frivo- lous, as we well know, and also there are some very frivolous and fickle brunettes. “The near affinities of the oxygen people are the sodium—slender people, dark in coloring, iong and highly arched from side to side and horny in texture, which can be worn very long without breaking. ing a patient, as most people represent a com- bination of several types,” Dr. Yonge explained. women of her ability to look at an individual and give a quick and accurate summary of some of her outstanding characteristics. “There are six distinci types of stout people or people with a tendency to stoutness,” Dr. Yonge continued. “But all of the six types have a few charactertistics in common—they like to be where people are and most of them are lovers of their homes. These people usually et like to stay put. The men are office workers. They like to stay indoors. “There is another group in whom all the above elements plus oxygen and suiphur are strong. They are the born organizers. They can meet people anywhere at any time. They don't like to stay put. They like to get out and around. They are, as a rule, attractive and aggressive. “There is a group, too, which brings up un- dleasant thoughts. We might call them the tainted group. Though they have not inherited an actual disease, they have what we speak of as an inherited blood taint. They are dogmatic, positive and sometimes crafty in a diplomatic way. Occasionally they are brilliant, but they are nearly always sinful at heart. Often they are good lcoking and fascinating. As you would naturally suspect, many of the corrupt poli- ticians of the country fall into this class.” ¢ A RE criminals of that class, too?” Dr. Yonge was asked. “No. Often the tainted people are too crafty to be caught. They manage to evade the law,” she said. *“I spent almost an entire year visit- ing various penal institutions in America, studying the types to be found there. Gen- erally speaking, the criminal type are lacking in iron and oxygen, with the fear area of the brain strongly developed. “They are natural-born cowards. Self-pres- ervation is the leading law of their lives, and as a consequence, when frightened, they will do anything—shoot, kill or maim—to save them- selves. Lacking in those elements which give them pep, energy, magnetic influence, especially when complicated by fear, they resort to any means to escape or preserve themselves. “Crimrinals belong among the 15 groups of thin people,” Dr. Yonge continued. “There are really very few stout people in jall. Stout people never like physical discom- fort—the iron bed, the hard chairs and poor food. The four chemical elements which make people stout—oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon—cause them to like physical comfort, especially food of excellent quality. No wonder they don’t go to jail. The discomfort is enough to keep them law-abiding. “Conversely, many of the slender physical types do not mind physical discomfort. Some of them eat enormous quantities of food with- out getting fat. They are eating for quantity and not for quality. They just fill up. “The person in whose composition silicon is highly prominent is slender, but nicely formed. Dr. E. Tully Yonge of Chicago believes that proper diet can affect materially a person’s disposition and character. The silicon people five a long time, they are optimistic and have a ready smile. Silicon makes all the secretions of the body alkaline and, consequently, a silicon person, although he may undergo serious hardships, keeps joily, happy and animated. Because their secretions are so alkaline, they almast never get malignant diseases. “THERE are several general classifications under which various nationalities fall. Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and the Arabs be- long to the chlorine type; the Scots and the English are mainly of the calcium type (that is why they are so deliberate); Swedes and Norwegians are of the silicon type; French are of the sodium type; Germans are of the hydro- gen-oxygen type (the reason why “they are stout). “Americans are of the potassium type, which explains why they are so versatile, adaptable, like change and variety and dislike monotony. ‘They mingle with each other and make friends easily. They are on the crest of a wave or down in the depths.” Dr. Yonge believes that proper diet and prop- erly chosen foods will tend to affect materially the temperaments and disposition and charac- t>r of an individual and, therefore, by a choice ol those foods supplying the chemical elcments ne desires to have uppermost, he will be able w control his type and make himself more or less what he wants to be. She does not believe in that form of dieting which means starvation, but she knows how one can lose a pound a day if necessary or advisable. She told this remarkable story concerning one of her recent patients, or clients. The man came to her when he was down and out physi- cally and spiritually. : “He had splendid possibilities, since he was & phosphorus-sulphur-sodium type,” she said. “What he needed immediately was more physical activity. I sent him to a Japanese wrestler who would stir up antagonism in him to fight back. After about the third lesson my client sa:d he couldn't stand it, but I sent him back again. This developed his will. Mean= while, we build up his nervous system with nerve foods—such things as blanched almonds, raw egg yolks, marrow from beef bones, celery, etc. His combination of chemical elements nearly always furnishes the experts of finance, so when his natural vitality and resistance bad been built up again we got him a job in a brokerage office. He was almost immediately succes:ful, and in three years he became a mil= Monaire, with a brokerage office of his own. “Mest of the phosphorus types are individuals whose brain and nerves are alert, active and sensitive and, therefore, they are exceedingly responsive to their environment. “A woman of the phosphorus type often at- tracts to herself people of the calcium type. “There is one type of person with whom no one can ever live happily—the phosphorus-sule phur-calcium type. They are, as a rule, faulte finding naggers. To these people everything is wrong. When it rains the sun should be shin- ing, and when the sun is shining it should oe raining; when you have money you should sz e it, and when you haven't it you should save 1t, too. They find fault at the most unreasonabile times. They are subject to violent outbursts of temper. Once I knew a woman of this type who was engaged in succession to four men, all of whom died, and I thought to myself how fore tunate it was for them to die with their illu- sions. (Copyright, 1930.)
