hold firmly In mind the fundamental
fact that every spark OF the energy;
that wrinkles in our eyes. that moves
our muscles and quickens our imagi1
nation Is sunlight FIRST condensed and
woven into the vegetable CELL And
the closer we keep to the origin Of
our life the less trouble are we likely
TO experience.
| For various reasons and as a result
OF the highly artificial conditions un-
der which the human animal is living
we have been forced from the sourcel
of our natural food supply, but never
with advantage. because the proteins
condensed In meat are mixed with the
poisonous waste products from the It's

horses, cows or pigs all the necessary
information could be found In innu-
merable popular treatises. government
bulletins, magazines and agricultural
papers. Any one can learn in a day
how and what to give to a trotting
horse, or how much and what to feed

lions, fads and fancies, the only es-
cape from which Is to wade through
abstruse and scientific treatises.
In warm weather 1t should be our
aim to diminish unnecessary heat pro+
duction as much as possible, at the
same time taking sufficient food to
maintain the body in at least approx
mate equilibrium. A brief study of
the tables given In bulletin No. 28,
| United States department of agricul-
ture, THE Chemical Composition of
| American Food Materials" will show
| that this may be advantageously
achieved by the use OF fruits, vege-
tables. fish, cereals, etc. Fats and fat
meats are especially to be avoided In
hot weather, because not only Is there
no specific need for them, but also be-
| cause, on account Of the greater sensi-
tiveness of the gastro-intestinal tract
during hot seasons, there Is greater
liability of disturbance from eating
undue quantities Of rich heterogeneous
| foods.
We have noted that the average
man Of $50 pounds weight requires

average diet for day, and this may
very easily be varied to meet indi-
vidual requirements:
