Nature is a bountiful provider.
For this large family of hers she
sends hundreds of things out of the
life giving earth to supply our bodies
with life and perfect health. She in
tends lis to eat them. The very
large majority of people base their
food supplies on what they have
trained themselves to like, and not
on the necessary food for building.
There are three necessary things,
and all of which are most generously
supplied by nature-food, air and
water
Two of these, air and water, need
no cooking nor seasoning, neither do
we even question It; all we do ask
is that both are pure and plenty of

same manner. While some Of this
food requires cooking. much of 1t is
far better eaten in it's natural state.
If we would remember that ma

sides the necessary food values
then it would be simpler in the cook

Many of these are cooked tespeclally
the vegetables) in great deal Oh

quote in part:
Our Bread.
"our bread is wrapped in sanitary
wrappers. II is not paved over by
dirty fingers. Flies have to look
elsewhere for a meal. Why have
bread clean in the first place If you
don't keep it clean?'
No Food Fraud.

legal. Politics and health laws don't

Polished Rice.
Polished rice won't do as much

whole wheat and White Bread.
Pale children often need foods, not
drugs. Honest bread made from all
of the wheat. nothing added and
nothing taken away, Will put life ana
red blood into the child. White bread
made from unbleached flour, baked
in the home. belongs in this same
class. God put twelve vitalizing salts
into the wheat. Man takes eight OF
them out in order 70 make flour

for they demand it, and then wonders
why there are 50 many false teeth.
Grape Juice.
The juice of the grape comes from
nature. 1t is one of the soft drinks
we are glad to sell. Our other soft
drinks are all right, too. because we
don't have any. Grape juice does not
need coal tar dyes. coal tar fiavors or
benzoate. Artificial concoctions do.
Meat.
People forget that pea. beans, mar
row beans, red kidney beans, white
navy beans, black turtle beans, yell
low peas, white marrow peas, black
eye. peas and lentils contain more
protein or building material
than roasts, steaks and chops.
