Within the last 90 years there has
sprung into existence theories by the
score relative TO the kinds of food
that human beings should eat, and
should avoid, With the tremendous in
crease in nervous and stomach diseases
which are caused by the strenuous life
of this neurotlc, peurasthenlc age IN
which we live, we are constantly having
our attention called to some food tad.
dist S "new idea' on the subject of
ahmentation
Most prominent among these theorists
is the vegetarian, who insists that meat
was never intended for the human
cestors for 5000 years or more used
it rs their principal article of diet. and
the old patriarchs of Biblical history,
who lived to prodigious old ages, were
meat eaters. All of the great nations
of history have been users Of meat and
all of the most powerful and advanced
countries of today employ it extern
sively in their dietaries, and their su-
perior development and high degree of
civilization are in strong and striking
contrast to the decadent and degener-
ate nations of Asia and the tropics,
whose inhabitants are vegetarians.
Another fallacy which has lately be-
come fad is the so called ''low-pro-
teid' diet Now, the foods which are
rich in proteids arc the ones which
build up nerve, brain, muscle and blood.
so that any great reduction in the
amount of proteid used simply means
mi-starvatiou for the most important
centers of the systematic ones on
which we depend the most to enable
us to successfully fight the battles of
life. Those nations whose people use
foods containing but little, proteid are
never of large frame or we'll built. The

Of stature. have. since adopting n more
liberal proteid diet, shown a remarkable
increase in size, vigor and general de-
velopmcnt; and it is only since Japan
became meat eating nation that it
has developed into world power.
Still another theory lately advanced
is that sugar, pepper and salt are gas
trio irritants, and irritate the mucous
membrane of the stomach; although it
is known that sugar possesses a high
caloric yalue, while pepper and salt as
