Within the last 20 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 increase
in nervous and stomach diseases which
are caused by the strenuous life of this
neurotic neurasthenic age in which we
live we are constantly having our at
tention called to some food faddists
new idea on the subject of alimenta-
ton.
Most prominent among these theo-
rists is the vegetarian who insists that
meat was never intended for the hui
man stomach. despite the fact that his
ancestors for 5000 years or more, used
1t as 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 advances
countries of today employ 1t extensively
in their dietaries, and their superior de
velopment and high degree of civiliza-
ton are in strong and striking con-
trast to the decadent and degenerate
nations OF Asia and the tropics, whose
inhabitants are vegetarians-
Another fallacy which has lately be-
come a fad, is the sO-called "Iow-pro-
ted" diet. Now, the foods which are
rich in proteids are the ones which
build up nerve, brain, muscle and blood,
so that any great reduction in the
amount of proteid used simply means
semi 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 well-built. The Japa-
nese. who have always been small OF
stature, have. since adopting a more
liberal prsteid diet, shown remark
able increase in size, vigor and general
development; and it is only since Japan
became a meat-eating nation that It
has developed into a worldpower.
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 value. while pepper and salt
assist digestion rather than interfere
with it, as is claimed
The no-breakfast plan. the two-meal
per day, and even the one meal daily
has been advocated. while some advise

ignoring the fact that the systems It's
sues are being constantly torn down
and cast Off, and new material to re-

1t is utter nonsense TO concern ones
self about all these absurd and nlogi-
cal theories, as life is entirely too
short, and there are other things re-
