ANTI-DYSPEPSIA DIET.
Swedes and Norwegians Know Moth
ing About the IndiEestible
Foods of Americans

Dyspepsia would no longer be the
national disease in America if the peo-
pie of this country would adopt plain
diet similar to that of Norway and
Sweden. Gout is unknown among
Swedes and Norwegians, and the rosy
cheeks and clear compilations of the
young people of those countries are
the result of the simple food the chill
dren eat" the United States consul at
Bergen, Norway, says. Hot rolls and
white bread are rarely seen in Sweden.
Knackbrode or hard bread is the stal.d-
ard article of food. 1t is made os
ground oats and rye. There is no Yeast
in the bread. and it is rolled into thin
waters, which are baked and hung I'M
where they will keep perfectly drv.
Swedes eat this bread and drink milk
for two meals day and have one meal
at which they eat meat and potatoes.
Sweets are almost unknown. Children
are allowed to eat candy only on state
occasions"
