number. Several girls, POSTCARD.
yates and Others, are taking the

xious to have us progress rapidly.
Several new text books have been
supplied, and some new dictionaries
replace the old ones We also have
several volumes of 1.-THE New Inter

About Raw Foods.
(By DR.. r. Il. Daniels

Living exclusively upon raw food,
T. another OF he fads that has recent
ly been added to the diet fads. The
devotees Of the raw diet eat no food
that has been cooked. Furthermore,
since meat Is practically unpalatab' e
without cooking, the raw food
ra1dists live largely upon vegetables,
nuts, cereals and milk, and are for
the most part, vegetarians.
The advocates 0: the raw food diet
make many claims for their particu.
lar style OF eating: they insist that
cooking not only makes fond less
silly digested, hut that it DESTROYS q
vital element in the food and thus
renders II far less nutritious. 1t is
true that an adoption Of the raw diet
by the average person Is usually fol-
lowed temporarily, at least, by an
improvement ia the conditions Of
"uS''a'Vuf ouu ~ tuS kcucIdI ucdllu.
Many forms OF digestive disturbances
may be relieved by its use.
However, the good which comes
from the raw food diet Is not due
particularly to the use Of raw foods.
The benefit derived from the raw
food diet comes largely by reason of
disseminating the old style 0! eating.
When a person adopts the raw food
diet, it Is what he does not eat,
rather than what he does eat, that is
responsible for the improvement.
just as with all of our fad diets, the
raw food diet does good because it
Gets people away from the meat,
potatoes and coffee style II eating.
There is no question but what
most OF our foods are more easily
digested when cooked than when raw.
In all of our starchy foods, for ex-
ample, the starch Is contained in
tough cell envelope, which is dis.
solved with considerable difficulty by
the digestive juices, unless 1t has
been previously ruptured by thorough
cooking. Meat is a necessary food,
but it Is not only unpalatable, but at
times unsafe to eat without cooking.
However. while the purpose OF cook.
ing Is to bring the food into a more
easily digestible condition, much OF
our modern cooking, with its grease.
It's condiments and Its mixing OF
foods. brings our food to the table in
less digestible form than though 1t
were not cooked at all. So that no
cooking at all may be better than the
average cooking.
A small amount Of raw food is
necessary for the best conditions Of
digestion and nutrition. Raw fruits
and vegetables should be included in
every diet; however, the bulk OF our
food should be cooked, but cooked
The raw diet is beneficial
almost entirely because it gets people
away from fried foods aud coffee: IL
