FOOD FADS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

1t Is one of our national fads to
worry about foods, and invent theories
of the effect of diet upon mind and
body. Although the majority of scien-
tific men say now. and always have
said. that a natural and varied diet is
best for the normal human animal, the
ism, the mono-diet. the return of un-
cooked food and numerous other queer
and restricted ways of dining.
While health undoubtedly depends
upon a correct and reasonable diet,
there is very little scientific proof to
support the belief in various foods as
specific cures for disease. A few dis
eases are known to have been aided by
dietary changes. such as the restriction
of sugar in diabetes, or the supply of
added nutrition in the form of milk and
eggs in tuberculosis, but the amount of
definite knowledge along this line is
small.
Persons past middle age are advised
by class of food cranks to refrain
from eating any food produced below
the ground. The origin of this notion is
unknown, although 1t is widely accept
ed. A we'll known dietician asserts that
from a scientific standpoint it is alb
surd to claim that the starch obtained
from a potato grown below the ground
is more injurious than that of corn
starch secured from product above
ground. While in general sense, the
food of elderly people should resemble
that of young children as regards its
simplicity. whether it grows above or
below ground has no bearing upon its
digestive or nutritive value.
Vegetarianism is not a new rad. 1t
was as popular centuries ago as now.
The olive is regarded as a modern food
fat. but its fatty properties made 1t
valuable meat substitute for the an
clients. It's use in this country has be-
come general during the present gen.
Grafton because increased resources
have placed it within reach. 1t was
almost unknown here century ago.
Nuts are another meat substitute which
have lately come into greater demand
even among meat eaters. who contra
dict the old theory of their unwhole-
someness Many people still find them
unwholesome, and they should not be
eaten heavily unless the old custom OF
eating a little salt to overcome their
cohesive properties be followed. Vege-
tarains depend largely upon the oil In
nuts to supply both the proteid and
caloric qualities essential to wholesome
diet.

This permits variety with less trouble
to the housewife than formerly. The
old New Highlander did not eat pie for
breakfast so much because he had
longing for pastry, as because he wish
ed to increase the number of viands
upon his table. Southerners have sew
eral kinds of hot bread at a single meal
for much the same reason. Both
tendencies are lessenng because each
can now command the food resources
of the other. The increased variety and
modern dietetic science are both re-
sponsible for the fact that the Ameri-
can of today is eating simpler and
more wholesome meals than his ances-
tors.
A compa rison of the White House
menus during the time of Washington
and the present is prominent example
of this. Martha Washington provided
only three courses for her guests, but
each would have supplied several mod
ern meals. A typical dinner included III
its first course fresh boiled cod. pea
soup, venison. beef, collops or small
steaks, baked chicken. boiled ham. po-
tatoes and other vegetables. with tel-
lies and marrow puddings on the side.

evidenced by the apathy of the ONCE
boy. whose chief morning food is fried
potatoes. Young string beans are said
to stimulate artistic and poetic tend
encies. and are as valuable to budding
genius as Is the fish diet recommended
for literary aspirants. There are. how
ever. some foods which have proved
their medicinal value. Celery Is known
to be a nerve tonic. In addition to it's
other good qualities. the once maligned
tomato has been found to contain
vegetable calomel highly valuable to
some constitutions: but these vege-
tables are eaten by people who like
them. rather than those who feel the
need of their peculiar properties.
Our grandmothers ate tomatoes hest
tatingly, believing them to be a source
of cancer and other ills. A cook book
precedes it's direction for cooking love
apples" by the suggestion that tho
mother OF children eating the vegeta-
BILE should afterward administer a mild
physic and a number Of doses OF sui

not become deposited in the blood. The

frowns at the directions for making

Advantage Is Found
in Variety of Food.

upon a diet including both vegetable
and animal food. but his ada pta bility Is
proved by his subsistence upon a re-
stricted menu when necessary. An
arctic explorer whose supplies became
exhausted preserved his strength and
vigor for months upon diet composed
exclusively of whale blubber and REIN
deer hair. as used by the Eskimos The
blubber contained the essential calorics
and proteids. The hair was added to
give bulk-a requirement to the proper
digestion of food.
The foods of this country are more
varied than those of any other. chiefly
because of the number of different
races that compose the nation. Each
of these has certain food tendencies,
though they are mostly forgotten by
the third generation A careful study
indicates that the immigrant secures
as nearly as possible the food he used
in his native land. His children attend
ing public schools become acquainted
them at home. His grandchildren have
completely assimilated the American
food habits so that the foreign dietary
is forgotten.
The foreign element in our diet is
created by the demand for their own
food by the newcomers Americans ex-
pertinent with the novelties and fire.
Quently adopt them for general use.
Macaroni and spaghetti were almost
unknown to American appetites fifty
years ago. Now they are served every
where, and are frequently accompa-
MED by the tomato sauce and grated
cheese used in Italy. Chinese foods are
upon sale in every city. Curiosity in
duces Americans to visit Chinese res
taurants. and a unique Wand may
please some one so much that he de-
sires it in his own home. Bamboo
shoots. a Chinese dish, are now being
prepared in many southern towns
where the plant is obtainable. Little
bundles of these tender herbs are be
ginning to find their way into the
general markets. The bean sprouts

CHAPTER TX.
The Hunt.

1T was daylight when Barney Gus
His first thought was for his
prisoner, and when his eyes fell
upon the empty cot across the room
the American came to the center Of
the floor with single bound.
Clad in his pajamas he ran out into
the living room and gave the alarm.
In another moment the search was on,
but no sign of the cave man was to
be found, nor of the guardian Terkoz.
"He must have killed the dog" in
sisted Greystoke, but they failed to
find the beasts body, for the excellent
reason that at that very moment Ter
koz, bristling with anger, was nosing
about the spot where, nearly month
before. he had been struck down by
the Arab as he had sought to protect
the girl to whom he had attached him
self.
AS he searched the spot his equally
savage companion fastened to the cave
farther up the mountainside, and with
which he had buried there in the soft
earth of a crevice within the lair.
The trophy was now in a rather sad
state, and M felt that he must forego
the pleasure of laying it intact at the
feet of his future mate, but the great
saber teeth were there and the skull.
He removed the former, fastening
them to his loin cloth, and laid the bal
ance of the head outside the cave,
where vutures might strip it clean of
flesh against Nus return, for he did
not wish to be burlened with it during
his search for Nat-ul.
A deep bay from Terkoz presently
announced the finding of the trail, and
at the signal Nh leaped down the
mountain side, where the impatient
beast awaited him.

a moment later the two savage trail
ers We're speeding away upon the spoor
of the Arab slave and ivory raiders
Though the trail was old. it still was
sufficiently plain for these two.
The hounds scent was but Il trine
more acute than his human compan.
ions, but the man depended almost
solely upon the teltale evidences which
his eyes could apprehend, leaving the
scent spoor for the beast, for thus it
had been his custom to hunt with the
savage woliish prOgenitors of TerkOz
a hundred thousand years before.
They moved silently and swiftly
through the jungle, across valleys, over
winding hill trails, wherever the broad
path of the caravan led. In day they
covered as much ground as the cara
van had covered I'm a week.
BY night they slept ut the foot of

was abroad the man would build a
rude platform high among the branch
es of tree that he and the hound
might sleep in peace throughout the
night.
M saw strange sights that filed him
with wonder and sealed his belief that
be had been miraculously transferred
to another world.
There were villages of black men,
some of which gave evidence Of recent
conflict. Burned huts and mutilated
corpses were all that remained In
many, and In others only few old
men and women were to be seen.
He also passed herds of giraffe-a
beast that had been unknown In his
