Reno Schoch, chairman OF the food con-
servaton committee OF the United Business
Mems Association, In a statement says he
believes that the housewife will soon be
able to save considerable money on her
food bills II she carries her food home in
stead Of having It delivered.
THE time is not far distant, I believe,
when at least three prices will be quoted
by the retail merchant to the customer" I"
said Chairman Schoch. There will be a
minimum price for the purchaser who pays
cash. puts his purchase in a basket and
takes it home. There will be another price
for the purchaser who pays cash, but has
his purchase delivered. A third price will
be quoted to the customer who wishes his
purchases both delivered and charged.

tion will rightfully be put on the proper
shoulders"

THE GOOD HEALTH
QUESTION BOX
By DIR. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG

TNSUFFICIENCY Of food Is a cause OF
Il neurasthenia occasionally encountered in
the United States, though less common than
in some other countries. Like all other
body structures, nerve cells derive their
stores Of energy from food. 1t is evident
that deficiency Of food must deprive the
cells OF their supplies Of energy material,
and so must lead TO lack OF endurance and
to chronic fatigue While this is true, there
is no ground for the widely entertained be-
lief that flesh foods, eggs, FISH and other
focdstufrs which are rich In animal protein,
are especially necessary TO make good loss
Of nervous energy. The truth is the very
opposite.
Experiments Of Won Noorden, Lusk, zuntz
and others have shown beyond any room
for doubt that nitrogenous foodstufs-that
is, foods rich In protein or albumin--ab-
normally exhaust the energy centers and 50
lead TO a great waste Of energy The evil
dence afforded by the latest scientific stud
les Of this subject goes 20 show that while
a small amount of protein is necessary for
the building up OF nerve tissues as well as
other tissues, II is the fats and carbohy-
drates Chat Is, starches and sugars), with
the organic salts found in cereals and vege-
tables. that are OF first Importance in re-
plenlshing nervous energy. The brain, like
the muscles requires fuel TO support it's
activities. The fats and starches offer the
best fuel foods, while protein or nitrogenous
substances are an inferior source of energy,
whether nervous or muscular, and their use
In excess OF the amounts needed for tissue
repair Is accompanied by loss Of energy and
other still more serious Inconvenience.

High Blood Pressure

Please give cause and remedy Ger high blood
High blood pressure can be reduced by
removal OF the cause, the only safe and
proper method. Pressure-reducing drugs
are dangerous and rarely useful
one Of the most common causes Of high
blood pressure is the use Of tea and coffee
Caffeine, the active principle in coffee and
tea Is a pressure-raising drug. II is used
by physicians in cases Of shock when I
Is necessary to raise the pressure doS
Is two grains A single cup OF good
coffee contains, according to Doctor Wiley,
four grains, or two doses. Is it any Won
der that coffee drinkers have high blood
pressure?
Smoking raises the blood pressure A
single cigar, according to Doctor Janeway.
Of Johns Hopkins University, will raise the
blood pressure twenty points in thirty min
utes. Every smoker who does not get
killed by accident will die sooner or later
of high blood pressure apoplexy Bright 8
disease or heart failure. The free use of
flesh foods raises the blood pressure be-
cause Of the uric acid which the meat con-
tains. Every pound of meat according to
Doctor Hail. Of Manchester England, con-
tRins fourteen grains or uric acid, and
sweetbrcads contain ten grains Of uric acid
to the pound. Uric acid has the same effect
as caffeine in raising the blood pressure.
Hearty meat eaters always get high blood
pressure and are apoplectic. Butchers are
short lived. Beef tea, bouillon, meat ex-
tracts and animal broths all contain uric
acid and lead to rise in blood pressure.
The best diet for q person with high
blood pressure or one who does not wish
TO have high blood pressure is q diet con-
sisting largely of fruits and vegetables, with
moderate use Of cereal and dairy products.
Probably the most common Of all causes
of high blood pressure is constipation The
poisons produced by the colon germs raise
blood pressure
