A nhvsician, wriuns on the food necessary
10 give strength and sustenance, says that II
a person uses up bis brain faster than he
makes it he soon becomes nervous and irri-
table. II he does not assimiaie enough food

come weak. The heatbest and strongest
individuals. even, should eat far greater
proportion Of meat than Of vegetable food.
Beef should be taken ar the standard meat.
II answers every purpose OF the system.
Veal and pork are not rs easily digested.
Pork, so far "a lis composition goes, Is an
excellent food for nervous persons, but II Is
not readily digested. Yet, IA the army We

A notion has been prevalent that many
persons iujure their digestion by eating too
much. The fact is that most people don't
eat enough. There are more people killed

Of those Who do eat a sufficient quantity are
prevented hy disease from digestlng enough
