At normal weight the body possesses
it's greatest powers Of endurance.
which is In the final analysis the true
measure Of health. Few people Of ell
Their sex. however. maintain their nor
NAL weight up to fifty years Of age.
The majority Of people are either at
1icted with surplus amount Of fat
or emaciated by acids and toxic poi
sons. caused by fermenta ton Of food.
No better evidence could be offered to
show the lack of knowledge in regard
to diet than these abnormal physical
conditions.
1t is a consoling argument of the op-
timist to contend that whatever GUS
tom prevails is right. but this theory
will not stand the searchlight of

the selection Of his food he has had

DINNER.
Any one or two fresh vegetables named
in the list above.
Two to three glasses of milk and one egg.
Many of the fresh and sncculent
vegetables named in this menu are not
fat producers. but they contain miner
al salts. which aid in the digestion and
assimilation Of other foods and supply
the blood with the mineral elements
necessary for perfect metab0lism and
the production and deposition Of fat.
Intestinal Congestion (constipation).
Normal intestinal action is absolutely
necessary in order to gain weight.
MIX, one of the principal fat pro-
ducing foods. has a tendency toward
intestinal congestion. This can be over
come in two ways.
First.-By taking milk in quantity
great enough to pass from the stomach
without being made wholly into curd.
That portion which thus passes from
the stomach has tendency to relieve
constipation. or, rather. to serve as an
alimentary lubricant. For example.
one or two glasses Of milk might pro-
duce congestion in the intestines. while
four glasses taken within period of
two hours would act just the reverse
and at the same time supply an abun-
dance Of fat producing material.
Second.-From one to three heaping
tablespoonful Of bran should be taken
with each meal where milk is used
especially If the quantity is not large
enough to prevent congestion.
The whole wheat taken as above sug-
gested often prevents constipation and
sometimes acts as mild laxative. In
such cases the whole wheat Is prefer
able to bran.
In the vast majority Of emaciated
cases it will be found that the patient
is suffering from premature fermenta-
ton and a lack Of body moisture.
Copious water drinking therefore be-
comes of primary importance Where
a small quantity of milk is used the
necessary moisture should be made up
with pure water The washing down"
should be avoided. as mastication is
needed for healthful assimilation.
Body 10 60 Per Cent Water.
The human body Is 6 per cent wa
ter. but to enter the blood water must
pass into the circulation with the food.
That is, the food must carry from GO
to 70 per cent Of moisture. Water
drinking with meals therefore is Of
much importance to those desiring to
gain weight for three specific reasons:
First.-It dilutes the gastric juice and
prevents hyperacidity (fermentation).
Second.-It aids digestion by remov-
ing irritation of the intestinal tract
both in the stomach and intestines.

TO EAT
Diet One Should Follow to
Increase Weight to
the Normal. 4

- UMEROUS causes may con-
N spire in the same body to
bring it below its normal
weight. Named IN the order
of their Importance they are:
One.-Hyperacidity. commonly called
sour stomach.
Two.-Malassimilati both stomach
and intestinal indigestion.
Three.-lntestinal congestion, fer
mentation and administration.
All Of these conditions are in reality
from the same genera. cause, that
cause being hyperacidity. For many
centuries. however, they have been
clossed and treated as different disor-
ders because they appear and manifest
themselves in different parts Of the
body.
Hyperacidity is true disease which
comes from errors in diet. usually
overeating or overcOnsumption OF
sweets. acids. starches and drinks Of
an alkaloid character. such as tea. COT
fee. wine, beer, liquors. etc.
In one of my former articles l re
viewed very briefly the general results
Of hyperacidity. will deal now more
directly with the results, the principal
one Of which IL physical emaciatiOn.
Overwork, loss Of sleep. wrong eat
ing. worry, grief or period Of intense
emotional tension, each has tendency
to disturb and derange the process of
metabolism. Under these conditions
the body is very apt to lose weight,
but there is always a fundamental or
parent cause which nearly always
leads back to the question of diet.
All Of the influences above named
contribute their share toward physical
decline but when the body is perfectly
nOurished it is more capable of with
standing these strains becaus" it is
made fearless by perfect health.
Behind all forms Of business and
financial trouble Is the demon fear.
and fear rests upon the uncertainty In
our ability to provide creature COM
forts and necessities. Therefore when
we master the science Of feeding our
bodies and learn how simply and cheap
~ this can be done the mere possess
sion Of such knowledge does more than

Third.-It supplies the blood with
the requisite amount Of moisture.
which promotes both purity and cir
culation.
One is very often afflicted with by
peracidity without any manifestation
from the stomach. The best evidence
Of this Is lack of thirst. Superacidity.
therefore. in addition to being one Of
the primary causes of emaciatfon. also
destroys natural thirst. which prevents
water drinking. and there is Mt once
lack Of body moisture. which is another
one Of the offending causes.
