A Human Match Factory.

The body of the average man COL Ltains
phosphorus sufficient to make 4s3,s40
matches, enough to fill 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 is 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 fromp From the food
we eat. How are they extracted and dis
tributed to the several organs they sus.

when the stomach is weak? The food
Is only partly digested and assimilated.
And then what? Then the balance OF
health is destroyed and there's blood
vtrouble," nerve trouble" lung trouble
with the vital organs of the body. Pain
is the hunger cry of the starved organs.
What then is the logical first step to
