on Injurious aud unwholesome food, u
canss IL In palatable or because there
little trouble in preparing 1t, and be
fore We are aware Of 1T we uhdermih
our constitution, and when we would r.
form our diet and habits. We leave bu
little foundation for nature TO &C
upon. 1t is said that this is an age o
stea N outrivaling the numbering stag
coach and Conestoga wagon, ana 80 i
Is; and with truth it may be said, tha
our lives also run through with the
same rapidly. We crowd life time
of threescore and ten years into nall
century, and the wheels of our exist
ence stop short, because We neglect the
laws of health, which, If properly
obeyed, would bridge us all over to the
scriptural allotment Of mans age, and
In most cases beyond that to fourscofe
years.
But we live fast. We never have
time to eat acknowledgements have
time to prepare our food as we should
We rush through life st lightning
speed snatch meals here and there
wherever we can catch them in a hur
ry-no matter of what they are coin
posed, fight diseases which crowd upon
US and then close our career with an
insult to Providence, that our short
lives are His Divine Will. This Is all
wrong. We were led TO these thoughts
by dropping into the flour ana 1905 EN-
lorium OF william ID. Pickles, south
west corner Of Fifth and King streets,
the other DAY, and by ascertalnlng that
the numerous neatly done up packages,
80 systematically arranged upon LIS
counters and shell yes, We're preparations
of healthful food prepared by The
Health Food Company of Ne" York,
of which MT Pickles is the sole agent
for this city. This company manu-
faCture various articles Of diet from the
pure wheat, oats, corn, rye and barley,
denuded of all their tibrous and bitter
coatings, which are really poisonous
and very injurious TO the health. We
were particularly struck with the dla
gram OF magnItied grain of wheat
which In that state was an ugly shaped
pod, thickly covered with a coating q
fiber, Ia which insects might tiud a
lodging pace. It looked as ugly as
the bark Of gnar cd OAK, and as prom
Using in Gaete as a green hlCkory.nut.
Well, thought We, 10 tbs what our gu
pertine ana extra HOUR lis made Of? AS
well might whole walnut hull aud
all be CIuucIed up INTO mulch, dried
and ga led pure walnut kerua.s, a. to
expect pure, sweet h-al'hto! -four to
be produced from that fiber covered
shaggy looking grain Of wheat.
Another diagram showed Us mag
nified grain Of wheat with LIS cost OF
slick and woody fiber removed. II was
quite different looking sight compared
with the other graiL smooth, highly
polished and transparent. From the
wheat thus denuded Of its hull, various
healthful articles are made, and after
the wheat has been pulverized by
washing process, the starch is removed,
leaving only the gluten, which is found
to po- ,ess peculiar value as a medicinal
food.
We cannot enter into a detail Of all
the artir.rs anutaC;ured by the Health
Food Con. pany in one article, for there
are 80 MAJ health giving qualities il

would make volumes, Amongst the
