WAKE UP: Get in line for the big
doing. Don't youN know that we are
On for one of the beat revolutions ever?
Can't you realize that 1t has already
started and that the big benefits are
aJready being grabbed off by people
who are awakefto the opportunities
that are at hand?
Wake up. I have been hammerfng
away at the diet suestton for a quar-
ter of q century. have told you
what, when and how to eat, but with
taS limited exception you have given q
sleepy yawn and taken ahother nap.
Wake up. Meat In scarce and high
in price. You have from habit and
ancestral training, relied upon it for a
large share of your diet and now that
you must find and use substitute.
you don't know how. You have the
lsubstitutes all right. They are cheap,
ieasi1y prepared. very appetizing and
much more healthful than the meat
but your combination Is wrong. Now,
let me ten you aSfew easily remember
ed and easily applied facts about eat
Ing.
For the great majority of people It
- useless TO: make elaborate tables
showing the various chemical elements
tof various fDds, to tell of the calories
Anitrates, ph0sphates and carbonates.
What the majority of US want is to
know about how many he1pings OF
beans. cabbage. potatoes and other
common vegetables must be eaten to
make up for the lack Of meat and how
TO fix the combination so the cook
won't go on strike and at the same
time 50 arrange 1t that our stomach
wont explode our our sense of taste
reject the combination.
Well, to begin with you do not need
ITO supply all Of the necessary chemical
elements required by the body at each
and every meal. One meal may be
much more palatable and the stomach
much better able to care for 1T If GER
tain elements are left out this. time
band put into the next meal.
IL you arrange the meals properly
you viii find that your desire for tea
Eand coffee will gradually disappear.
Also you will find your strength in
lcreasing while the amount you eat will
decrease. Instead Of fermentation of
food In the stomach you will have d.
lgestion and when digestion occurs
NORMALLY there will be no disagreeable
gas that is so distressing to many peo-
Epie. With the disappearing of the gas
will also disappear the acidity and
lother health destroying conditions will
Ebe changed into natural digestive fer
Ements and you will wonder how you
ever stood up and managed to live
under the heterogeneous mixture that
byou formerly called food. Here are
some fundamentals:
| when you cat meat the natural
coordination to go with 1t is bread
Ebutter and potatoes or other starchy
floods. Acid foods should never be
featen with starches. A combination OF
acid fruits or other acid like pickles
thorseradish, etc, are prolific causes
!of fermentation and consequent gas
when you are using eggs you can also
tuse at the same meal in combination
lany OF the following: Milk. fats, nuts
lgrains. vegetables, sweet fruits or 9TH
i&E fruits, but no acid fruitu IL you in
lcfdde milk with the eggs. With milk
land starches or grains left out the acid
fruit, egEs, and other articles named
tmsRsze good combinations.
In using fresh vegetables the more
you use In the natural or uncooked
state the better your health will be
provided you u1asticate thoroughly
breakfast should consist of not over
3 articles. preferably only Q. Lun-
lcheon should consist Of not over ar
ticies and preferably only 4.
