and how we eat. It is Impossible
to lay down as general rule as
to what and how much should be
eaten: as what would injure and
kill some people, might
fatten others. Reason and COM
mon sense should be the guide in
eating as in other matters.
Never eat more than can be di-
gested, nor any kind that does
not agree with the stomach.
! shall confine myself princi-
pally to the manner of eating.
Our Creator has made ample pro-
vision for masticating, digesting
and assimilation of the food we
eat. The selinary glands secrete
the proper amount and kind of
fluid necessary to prepare the
food to be readily digested in the
stomach, whence it is carried,
through the proper channels, to
all parts of the system, giving
new blood, new life, increased
strength and vitality to the body,
if (and big if it is too) the food
is properly masticated. Prob
ably nine-tenths of the human
family violate natures law lust
at this point.
Dear reader mark we'll what I
am saying now! | am not writ
ing for mere pastime, but for
the good hope to accomplish for
suffering humanity. Every
mouthful of food should be
chewed to a creamy pulp. On
obedience to this law greatly de-
pends the health of body and
mind and consequent happiness
OF life. Those who ravenously
gulp down a dozen dishes of
crude unmasticated food, drink
ing glass after glass of water to
hasten the Heterogeneous mass
through the stomach if possible,
must sooner or later GENERALLY
sooner) suffer the penalty for
such a crime, violation of Gods
law is criminal. Disease, pain,
suffering of body and mind, Oft
en- premature death, is the appar-
ent visible penalty for violation
of the laws of health. What other
punishment awaits the criminal
hereafter, is known only to our
Creator.
DR.. Eastlake of Japan, informs
us that "The army biscuit con-
sists of cake one-fourth rice
and three-fourths wheat, flavor
ed with bosh sugar and salt. It
is placed in water and allowed to
; swell up before eating. We need
r not be astonished at the wonder
full endurance of Japs. They
