THEORIES ABOUT FOOD

ALSO FEW FACTS ON THE SAME SUBJECp.
We hear much nowadays about health foods and
hygienic living. about vegetarianism and many
other fads along the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the larger cities
where no meat, pastry coffee Is served and the
food crank is in his glory, and arguments and
theories galore advanced to prove that meat
never intended for human stomachs and almost
make believe that sturdy ancestors who lived
four-score years in robust health roast beef,
pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant
Of the laws of health. -
Our forefafhers had other things to do than
formulate theories about the food they ate A
welcome extended TO any Kind from
bacon to acorns.
healthy appetite and common sense are excel
lent guides to follow in ma tiers OF diet, and q
mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats is undoubt-
edly the best.
As compared with grains and vegetables, meat
furnishes the most nuiriment In a highly coneen-
trated form and is disested and is assimilated
more quickly than vegetables and grains
DR.. julius Remmson on this subject says: ''Ner-
vous persons, people run down In health and Of
low vitality should eat meat, ana plenty Of It,
II the digestion Is too feeble at first It may be
easily corrected by the regular Of Stnart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two OF these
excellent tablets taken after dinncr viii digest
several thousand grains of meat eggs or other ami
NAL food in three hours. ami. no matter how weak
the stomach may be. no trouble viii be experienced
IL regular practice Is made OF using Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. because they supply the pepsn
and diaStase necessary to perfect digestion. and
every form of Indigestion will be overcome by their
use"
The large class of people who come under the
head of nervous dyspcpties should eat plenty OF
meat and insure its proper digestion by the daily
use Of safe. harm ess digestive medicine like
Stuar,s Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of the natu-
raj digestive principles; pepsin. ~diasease fruit
acids and snlts which actually perform the work
of digestion. Cheap catbartic medicines mas
quersdirg under the of dyspepsia cures, are
u.e,css for Indigestion. as they have absolutely no
effect upon the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia IN all Its many forms is simply
failure OF the stomach to digest food, and the
sensible way TO solve the riddle and the dys-
pepsia Is to make daily use at meal time Of
preparation Ike Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which
Is inforsed by the nssiieal profession and known

duce being extremely fine ones. The Cooke

at this season under glass, so good that
they would bring a tremendous figure II

missioners requesting that the Washington
Railway and Electric Company be urged
to continue the run Of its 9th street cars

fence to the people and calls attention to
the fact that the line would thus directly
reach the site Of the new municipal hos
