The Secretary of War will probably
be called upon to-day by an elderly
gentleman, an advocate Of dietetic
therapeutics, who will seek the op.
portunity to prescribe the amount aud
kind of food to be supplied by the
government to American troops. This
man, whose name is Albcr. William
Hart, and whose card is engraved
Prof. Albert William Hart, told re-
porter for The Star yesterday that his
mission in life is to save the human
race from cxtincti0n-to prevent man
kind from blottipg out itself by the
use OF improper and unnatural food
lie sad that in England thirty years
ago he found the science of dietetic
therapeutics and that among the ply
sicians who accepted as correct the
dietary rules wiiSi hc laid down were
Sir Henry Thompson, Sir Andrew
Clarke, James Fox, Sir Benjamin
Ward Richards IN and Sir Richard
Quain.
"Sir Richard Quain," said Mr..
Hart, "who was physician to the
Princess Of Wales, now the Queen of
England, restored his distinguished
patient to heaish by the use of the
kind Of bread which 1 advocated in
the interest of humanity, aud for this
service he was knighted. One of my
converts was DR.. Gibbs, physician to
her royal highness the Duchess of
Teck, and this man caused to be in
troduced into the royal nursery the
special bread made from the ideal -four
which I provided"
As might be inferred from the re-
ferences made by Mr.. Hart, he is an
Englishman, and he told The Star re-
porter that his fa.her was colaborer
with James Watt, the celebrated en-
gineer, and that his mother was, in
her generation. the most beautiful
woman in Litch6eld. Mr.. Hart says
he is seventy years old. His skin is
clear, his flesh firm and his muscles
hard.
MAN is extremely ignorant about
dietetics," he said. "Now, take, for
instance, that man you see over there
pairing that apple. You see he throws
away the pairing. In doing that he
has cast from him the most valuable
part of that particular fruit, from the
food standpoint. That richly .colored
apple peel contains the elements need
ed in the assimilation and digestion
OF the apple. Without it, the balance
OF the tissue Of that fruit is not fit to
eat. 1t will tax that mans stomach
to dispose of what he is eating. Now,
it is just 80 with cereals. We throw
away the husk and skin and by this
We waste the really valuable part of
the grain, that which contains the
food properties required to nourish
the mind and body, to promote circu-
lation of the blood and to feed the
nervous systems. We cannot have
perfect men aud women without proper
nourishment. The crime which
abounds in the world is mainly the re-
suit of bad dispositions resulting from
improperly nuurished bodies, result
ing from improper food.
II would like to address the minis
ters of the gospel in Washington, and
would prove to them that the higher
condition of mentality, spirituality
and morality depend on the food
we eat. We are what we eat.
would prove to them that many of
our preconceived notions of living are
wrong, utterly wrong. The major part
Of tho sickness which afflicts the
human race has its origin in the
stomach. People who eat what the
world calls food suffer equally with
the people who eat what the world
calls poor food. But they do not eat
the food which COD intended they
should eat. They persist in eating
abnormal food that does not sustain
the mind. brain and body. How can
q man have great thoughts and fine
will and splendid balance if his brain
