 Within the last 20 years there have sprung into existence theories by the score relative to the kinds of food that hupnan 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 attention called to some flood faddist's "new idea'' on the sub- ject of alimentation.
 Most prominent among these tl1eo- rists is the vegetarian who insists that meat was never intended for the h1- 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 BibH- cal 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 extensively in their 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 inhab- itants are vegetarians.
 Another fallacy which has lately become fad, is the so-ca1led ''fow- proteid'' diet. Now, the foods which are rich in proteids are the ones and blood so that any great reduc- ton in the amount of proteid used simp 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 peonle use foods containing but
 little proteid are never of large frame or well-built. The Japanese. who have always been small of stature, have, since adopting a more liberal proteid diet, shown remarkable increase in size, vigor and general develonment, and it is only since Japan became a meat-eating nation that it has devel- oped into a 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-breaEfast plan.the two-meal per day, and even the one meal daily has been advocated. while some advise a two or three weeks fast. during which all food is withheld from the stomach to give it rest" completely Ignoring the fact that the systems t;s sues are being constantly torn down and east off. and new material to re- hniId them must be supplied from the food.
 Vt is utter nonsense to concern ones self about all these absurd and ilIoei- cal theories. as life is entirely too short. and there are other things re- o'Iiring our attention. Eat what YOU want when you want it, and as much as the system needs to reDlenish it's waste. and then take one or two of St"art'S DvSpensia Tablets and forget
