A Human Match Factory.

The body OF the average man contains
phosphorus sufficient to make 4s3,s40
matches, enough to I'll about 5000 boxes.
allowing eighty matches to the box.
Phosphorus is one Of fourteen elements
entering into the composition Of the body.
1t is divided among the bones, flesh, nerv-
GUS system, and other organs. Without
phosphorus the brain would be weak, the
body feeble, and the bones would disin-
tegrate leaving man squidy inverte-
brate squirming In the dust. The perfect
health of the human body requires per-
feet balance OF the constituent elements
OF which It IL composed. The carbon,
iron, lime, sulphur. sodium, etc, must all
be replaced as they are used up In human
energy. Take all the iron from the blood
and the circulation stops. That's death.
Change the proper proportion of these
substances to each other, destroy their
natural balance In the body, and you de-
stroy the balance Of health.
THE FOOD WE EAT.
Where do these essential elements of
vital force come from? From the food
we eat. How are they extracted and dis
trtbuted to the several organs they sus,
tain? The are extracted and distributed
