ficient in power. a part, of that starch remains undigested. passing down through the intestiues, wheEe. in the moisture and warmth of the body IL rots, creating gases and causing var ious forms of intestinal disease; vel certainly the cause, in many cases, of peritonitis or appendicitis; therefore it Is entirely plain. even to the layman. that if the eater does not perfectly di- gest all of this raw starchV food, he cannot extract from the food the nee essary calories and the strength and nourishment that the food really con tains; whereas, when wheat and harley are prepared by slxillful cooking, 90 that the starches are transformed into sugar, and thus presented to the stonl- ach in predigested condition, practi cally all of the nourishment of the food is made use of by the body, greatly to it's benefit.
 'T would be very glad indeed to de- posit ten thousand dollars, or twice that amount against like sum rut up by Dr. Wiley or any or his associates, and we will proceed to feed individue ls on the raw starch food, the old fash toned mush,' which he so gli5ly an nounces as the equal of modern break fast foods. and if we do not oDtain better results by my method than he does by his, the total sum will be raid over to him or to any charity that he may designate.
 "The good doctors opportunities for experiments and resultant conclusions have been narrow and confined to 9 few persons. We have been supply ing food for literally millions of peo- pie, all over the world, for good many s ,o1as fT reports from people reaching up tC thousands in number, giving the de tails of condition and the result Of var
 ious foods including coffee, which ii
 not a food. It is entirely safe tO SC!
 that for every one case that pr. Vile.
 has experimented upon, and therefor
 drawn his conclusions from, our eNper
 fence has been with from one to flV'
 thousand.
 Tt is an old story, this tangle o
 theorists, as compared with the hard
 practical experience and certain cop
 cIusions of absolute practice.
 "As cereal food maker, it Inigh
 seem that my interests would oTpos meat; but common, every day exLer fence teaches most plainly to any rea food expert that some meat once
 day is of great importance, then le the Starchy food be Skllltully prepare
 and the combination of easily -digeste
 food elements will put the user in gooC Q vigorous physical condition, strongl
 in contrast with some of the semi -skel
 etons among these state and govern |. ment theoretical experimenters.
 Just one other illustration: It t commonly heard in the circles of thes
 theorists. that rice is digested in on
 hour This conclusion is reache . from experiments where it was show
 that the human stomach delivered ric
 on down into the duodenum in aboJ
 sixty minutes; therefore the conclu t sion that 1t was digested. The trut = is, that the stomach does not dige: t rice. but simply throws it out to be d :. gested on down below the stomach. r. Rice frequently requires ten to fi
 teen hours for digestion, and then it . not perfectly digested in thousands n cases, but partially decays and cause = all sorts Of intestinal troubles.
 O q 4 little less theory by the theoris 2 and a good deal more common sen: 2 as developed by practical every-da e experience will add to the longevit e of our people.r-Los Angeles Times.
