Within the last 20 wears 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 tho strenuous life of this
neurotic, neurasthenic age IN which
we live. we are constantly having our
attention called to some food faddist's
new idea" on the subject OF alimenta-
tion.
Most prominent among these theo-
rists Is tho vegetarian who insists that
meat was never intended for the hu-
man stomach, despite the fact that his
ancestors for 5000 years or more.
used IL 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 advanced countries OF
today employ IL extensively I'm their
dietariea, and their superior develop
ment and high degree Of civilization
are in strong and striking contrast to
the decadent and degenerate nations
Of Asia and the tropics. whose inhahi-
tants are vegetarians.
Another fallacy which has lately be-
come a 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
semi i-starvation for the most important
conters 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

nesc. who have always been small OF
stature. have. since adopting more
liberal proteid diet shown q remark
able increase I'm size, vigor and gem
eral development; and II IS only since
Japan became meat-cating nation
that Il has developed into world
power.
still another theory lately advanced
IS that sugar pepper and salt are
gastric irritants and irrltate the mu-
, cous membrane OF the stomach. al
though It is known that sugar pos
sesses high caloric value. while per
per and salt assist digestion ratht
than interfere with IL, as is claimed. !

ignoring the fact that the systems tis

and cast on, and new material TO re-

II is utter nonsense to concern ones
self about all these absurd and illogi-
cal theories. as life Is entirely too
short, and there are other things re-
quiring our attention. Eat what you
want when you want II, and as much
as the system needs TO replenish its
waste. and then take one or two Of
