Syracuse Man Discovers That Food Is Needless

SYRACUSE, N. T.—“Fbod is a thought,” says Burwell Ronayne, “and eating is merely a habit. Break yourself of the habit by putting your system in tune with your Creator, and you’ll find it quite possible to subsist on a diet

of pure air and fresh water.” Mr. Ronayne, as thin as the proverbial rail, but with an intellect sharpened by 19 days of fasting, explained his ■theory for putting the food trust- out ■of business and solving the problem of the high cost of living. During the 19 days he partook of :the following meals: Breakfast—Seven glasses of wa-. ter and seven electrical, or intellectual, breaths. Luncheon—Three glasses of water

and three azothel, or cleansing, breaths. Dinner—Five. glasses of water and five magnetic breaths. . "I worked hard and never felt so well in my life," he explained. O 1 course, I lost 28 pounds, but ®Y physical condition wasn’t good. I certainly belfe™ that I will be able to go to a much longer period soon, and within seven years, if I succeed in attuning my system with that of my Creator, 1 will be able to subsist on air and water, or possibly air alone. “First, we must live a wholesome life for about seven years,” said Ronayne. Then we must know just how to breathe so as to obtain the proper ethers. “Now, in the morning I take seven intellectual breaths, but I must be careful not to take too much. The. air is fun of electricity, and if I charge my system too strongly it may cause trouble.” .
