S S I S A A e ! Dr. Benjamin G. Hauser, Noted Scientist, with His Chemical “Man,” Used in De: strating His Diet- otic Theories About the Human Body. PICK YOUR DIET FOR CHEMICAL “FORM.” SODIUM TYPE.

Grapefruit, almonds, citrus fruits. OXY YPE. Bran foods, grapes, green peas, artichokes. CALCIUM TYPE.

HA\'E you ever thought of your Dr. Benjamin Gaylord Hauser, noted physiological chemist of high standing and pupil of Professor Victor Rocine, eminent Norwegian scientist, not only knows this to be true, but also believes that the chemical person- ality of any individual can be accur ately determined and his health fortified and safeguarded by prescrib ing for him a diet charted according to the “patient’s” chemical type. If, for example, you are a nitrogen type and have been eating chlorine food, the chances are that you fre quently wake up in the morning with a bitter taste in your mouth and ach. ing eyes. Should you be a potassium type and indulge too greatly in phos- phorus edibles, don’t blame anyonme spinach, i but yourself for that sensation of giddiness on the street, and that annoy- ing pain at the back of your neck. “Classify yourself!” cries Dr. Hauser, “and stick to your proper brand of viands. The process won't necessarily make you wealthy, but it will make you healthy—and wise.” To which the average man and woman, unversed in medical lore, or even in the most rudimentary dietetics, might respond with reasonable irrita- tion, “How on earth can I do that? Jack Dempsey, Al Smith, Gal Sodium Types. I'm not a doctor or a nurse. How can I tell whether 1 belong in the sulphur group or the oxygen; the hydrogen or the sodium?” Dr. Hauser has a double-barreled answer to that. Your chemical per- sonality, he assures you, can be de termined by two things: your glands and your facial characteristics. Into one of the eleven classifications you must fit according to these two vital sign posts. And to prove that he is not indulging in mere idle speculation he submits a list of notable men and women whose features proclaim them occupants of one category or another Study the familiar faces on this page; note in which group they have At Right: Herbert Hoover, (@ Wide World) Billie Dove, Two Hydrogen Types.

As representative of the sodium type, he points to Governor Al Smith, of New York: H. L.

Here are some hydrogen notables: President-elect Herbert Hoover, Cecil B. De Mille, movie magnate; King Vidor, cinema director; Harry Lang- don, comedian; Billie Dove, actress; Ernst Lubitsch and Emil Jannings. Most “hydrogens” are feminine, with a sprinkling of masculinity. Latent energy is their keynote. Quiet, cool, seemingly poised, their slumbering temperament is temp ous.

Roosevelt, Harvey Firestone, the great tire manufacturer, and Charles M. Schwab, steel baron. Most “potassiums” are men. They very often are typically American; are universally popular, natural developers and organizers, constructive brains that can reduce chaos to order and have a unique genius for building and organizing m Strong, sturdy, fear- less, the pota m man is also tactful. With many friends (usually in a business way), this man is a good hus band, but may marry more than once. Since he can get along well with almost any other chemical class, he may be attracted to a wide variety of women— also men. He's usually good-looking and undeniably magnetic. The physical appearance tends toward medium _height, sound flesh, “hard as nails,” stockv build, lithe, vigorous movements. He loves sports, especi- ally motoring. His face is wide, square, short—hands often hot to the touch. Since he is the healthiest of men, he should curb his tendency to overeating, says Dr. Hauser. As for the calcium type, he is the strong-bodied pioneer. A trail blazer, he has patience, endurance, solid bon Edison and Benito Mu characteristic.

He’s a great worker with both brain and hands, and though pacific and gentle when undisturbed, can summon up wrath that is terrifying.
