 Food FaddiStS
Have Evolved Some Strange and Won- derful Theories Concerning
 Stomach Treatment.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspep-
 sia Tablets Sent Free.

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 fncrea SC 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 attention called to some food faddists new idea" on the subject of alimenta- tion.
 Most prominent among these theo- r1sts is the 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 it 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 dietaries 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 inhabi- tants 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 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 starvation for the most important centers of the system-the 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-b built. The Jap anese who have always been small of stature have, since adopting a more liberal proteid diet. shown a remark able increase in size Vigor and gem 1nxro Ynra a ad fE T.ra1v rrfw,. Japan became a meat-eating nation that it. has developed into q world power.
 Still another theory lately advanced is that sugar, pepper and salt are gastric irritants, and irritate the mu-. cous membrane of the stomach, aI- though it is known that sugar pos sesses a high caloric value. while pep per 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 which all food is withheld from the stomach ito give it a rest" completely ignoring the fact that the systems tis- sues are being constantly torn down and cast off, and new material to re- build them must be supplied from the food.
 It 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 it. and as much as the system needs to replenish it's waste. and then take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and forget all about food fads and stomach trou- bles. They digest all kinds of food so thoroughly you won't know you have a stomach They are powerful dises- tors of every kind Of food though harmless 10 the system. and may be taken at any time and in any quantity.
