AN ATTACK ON HAM.

What can person eat with safety,
anyhow?
A man connected with the govern
ment in Washington has written a
book, weighing at least half pound,
to prove that white wheat bread is
almost as fatal as poison. Wheat flour
would be all right for food, he asserts,
If the wheat berry were ground whole,
outside shell and all, but flour made
of the wheat berry "denatured" Ly
first husking its coat off, is response
BILE for nearly all the infant mortality
and many Of the diseases of grownups.
The same with rice and corn. The
way corn is ground nowadays makes
il dangerous as food, he says.
Soup? Never eat soup, another re-
former advises us; it is most injuri-
GUS.
Potatoes? Too much starch, the
food faddists tell us. Beware of pota-
toes.
And corn, on the cob and in the can.
1t ought really to be labeled poison"
it has caused so many cases of pei
lagra.
Beef? Shun it as you would a pes
thence; it helps to cause Bright's dis
ease and rheumatism.
We have read all Of this, with more
or less patience. Some of us have TAX
en- these Nominations against our ia
vorite foods seriously, and half starv
ed ourselves as result.
And now comes the last straw. A |
food sharp in the East has written a
scathing denunciation of smoked ham
and bacon. He declares that they are
little better than slow poisons. He |
warns you, in solemnity, TO never
let morsel of smoked ham or bacon |
pass your lips if you wish to keep well
and live long.
Why, this country was pioneered
and settled on diet of smoked ham
and bacon. And the most stalwart
husbandmen the world ever knew are
tilling the farms of America on the
same diet.
Danish the smokehouse from the
American farm and you would take
away it's chief source of sustenance
and strength, and destroy the most
toothsome, health giving morsel on
the national table.
The freedom of these United States
was won with ham and bacon as much
as with powder and ball. History tells
us that the principal ration of the Rev
dictionary Army, when it had meat at
all, was bacon. The armies of the
Civil War lived and fought largely on
ham and bacon and salt pork.
The first pioneers who came out
from the settlements of the East to
the plains and forested hills of the
West lived on bacon and johnnycake
on the journey Bacon and
hominy were the staff of life
of the early settlers of all this West
ern country.
When Daniel Boone started on
horseback from Kentucky to Missouri
he chucked side of bacon into one
saddlebag and a sack of corn meal
into the other, to balance the load
The backbone of every "grub stake"
Of every prospector who blazed the
way into the new West was bacon, and

Fried bacon, brown and crispy; ham

things to go? Not if all the learned

A high girdle effect in front is pro-

which is caught across the front, but
