 Within the last 20 years there have 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,l we are constantly food faddist's "new idea' on the sub ject of alimentation. Most prominent among these theo- ristS 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 Bibli- cal History who lived to iprodigious 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
  itants are vegetarians.
 Another fallacy which has lately become a fad, is the so-called s1ow- proteid'' diet. Now, the foods which are rich in proteids are the ones which build up nerve, brain, muscle and blood, so that any great reduc- ton in the amount of proteid used simply means semi-starvation for the most important centers of the system l-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 l or well-built. The Japanese. who have always been small of stature, have, since adopting more liberal proteid diet, shown a remarkable increase in size, vigor and general development, and it is only since Japan became a intoxicating nation that it has devel- oped into a world-power.
 l Still another theory lately advanced | is that sugar. pepper and salt are gastric irritants and irritate the mu- cous membrane of the stomach, al- though it is known that sugar pos-
 sesses a high ca1oric value, while pep lper and salt assist digestion rather lthan interfere with it, as is-c1aimed l The no-breakfast plan,the two-meal per day, and even the one meal daily has been advocated, while some advise I a two or three weeks fast during
 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 flood.
 l It is utter nonsense to concern one's self about all these absurd and il1oei- cal theories. as life is entirely too | short and there are other things re-
 o,1iring 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 ot 1 Stuart's Dvspensia Tablets. and forget I all about food fads and stomach trou- l bIes.
