In the Philosophy Of Eating" by DIR.
bellows, the author gives the following
classification Of food First, carbonate-.
that class which supplies the lungs with
fuel and thus furnishes heat 10 the system
and supplies fat or adipose matter. Sec
ond, nitratcs, that class which supplies
the waste of muscle. Third, phosphates,
the class which supplies the bones, the
bnins and the nerves, and gives vital
power, both muscular and mental.
Wheat-meal Is far more nutritious and
lifted TO build up the system Than super
fine Hour, whiciis bereft of about one-half
Of the tissue-making elements. DIR. Sam
uel Jackson, Professor OF the Institutes Of
medicine in the University of Pennsylva-
mia. whose opinions as ply stefan and
ply siologist are held In such high estima-
lion In this and other countries, says
The phosphate of lime is an essential
constituent Of all grains. II Is further an
important nutritive principle, and recent
experiments have proved IL TO be an indis-
pensabe element In the construction, not
Of bones only, but of all the animal tissues.
A deficiency Of the phosphate of lime In
food Is common cause Of all i'll health, of
defective Development and retarded growth
In children. In the conversion of wheat
into flour, the phosphate Of lime is re-
jected with the bran aud middlings,' and
In consequence this necessary element OF
nutrition, contrary TO the arrangement by
nature, is not obtained from our fine wheat
bread"
O. s. Hubhell. NJ. ID a distinguished
pharmsceutist OF Philadelphia, furnishes
the following analysis OF the -four and
bran Tor boiled part which he receives
from the mill whore he sends his wheat
for grinding. From every 100 pounds of
wheat, about 76 pounds of fiour and 10
pounds OF bran. The flour, he adds, con-
tains of Disseminating elements (gluten.
albumen, etc. 80 of phosphates and other
salines 90; total, 2.35 per cent. The
bran contains Of tissue making elements,
$40. salines, phosphates, ETC., 7.05 total.
1913 per cent. That is, for purposes of
nutrition the bran Tor bolted party Is near
ly five-fold richer than the -four; or being
0ne-fourth the weight Of the -four IL has rs
much nutritye value as the flour itself, in
every bushel.
DIR. Bellows states that "animals and
persons have been ted on pure starch. or
sugar, or fat alone, and they gradually
pined away and died" He adds, 1.-THE
nitrates i'm all the fine -four bread a person
can eat, will not sustain life beyond fifty
days. But those fed on unbolted flour.
would constantly thrive and fatten and
grow stout and strong for an indefinite
period"
OF all grains wheat Is considered 1.-THE
staff OF life" IL Is unquestionably true
that God made wheat in the very best pro-
portions TO build up and nourish the sys-
tenn, and man, i'm his pride and folly. has
rejected that part which contains all the
bone, muscle and brain-makiDg material,
viz. the bran. The result i a. clear "a il
is inevitable.
The absence of the most nourishing ele-
meRts OF the wheat and the retention OF
the carbonates (heaters) only, engenders
fevers and very many OF the diseases that
now so grievously aillic' The human race
and cause premature sickness and death.
Avoid and reject starch bread. Nothing
Is more evident than thar, In using bolted
starch flour, We sacrifice the most impor-
tant elements of the wheat, merely 10

nents to sustain life for any length Of
time. That the evil effects Of using food
composed principally of the carbonates
(heaIers), such rs bread from white flour,
butter, pastry, confectionery, etc, are al
most incalcuable, Is testified tn by many
OF the mo 1 learned scientific and medical
Ren Of our times, who affirm, in truth.
that one-fourth OF all our children die prior
TO the age Of seventeen All for the lack
OF food containing phosphates and nitro
genous elements, and those who live TO
grow up TO maturity their bones and
brains and nerves are weak and subject to
disease; while by overlooking with the
carbonates, the system Is heated aud ex-
cited and ready TO be inilamed by the

evittble results are inflammation. fevers.
