BY food is meant something which
can nourish the body, make II grow,
or restore it's tissues and furnish u
with a supply OF energy. IL Is GUS
tomary TO cook most OF the food we
eat. Foods may be divided into 1--WE
groups-Proteids Carbohydrates. Min
eral Matter, Fats and Oils. Water.
Proteids are necessary to life, they
build up and replace worn out tissues,
also furnish energy. They form
part OF both animal and vegetable
foods. Milk, eggs. meat, fish. cheese,
grains, peas, beans, lentils and nuts
are the principal proteid foods.
Carbohydrates furnish energy, they
are chiefly starches and sugars and
are found in vegetable foods as ce-
reals, sugars, fruits and vegetables.
AS it's name implies Mineral Matter
is to furnish material for bones and
teeth. IL will be found in fish, vegeta-
bes, fruits, water and SAT-
Fats and Oils furnish energy. The
principal fats and oils are olive OIL
cream. fat meat, peanut oil, corn oil,
etc.
Two-thirds OF the weight OF the
human body Is water Water is con
tanned in all foods. Water should be
drunk freely between meals. II aids

helps to clear blood and keeps our
bodies al normal temperature
The known elements necessary FOR
the complete development and main
flamenco Of the human body and brain
are: Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, car
bon, sodium, iron, calcium, potassium,
magnesium, phosphorus, sulphur,
manganese, silicon, iodine, fuorine
and chlorine In addition other ele-
ments are undoubtly required. Coffee,
for example, is sometimes found in
various organs. Some authorities hold
il TO be a normal constituent of the
body, This is true also concerning
other elements. These elements are
present in complex combinations, each
has a separate and distinct function
20 perform, each is indispensable 10

.uoning OF the human organism.
To deny or ignore these facts mere
" proves one TO be ignorant OF or in

ing calotysis, the very backbone Of
modern Industrial progress and who'll

garding the actions OF the governors
OF the human body and mind, "the
ductless glands" Organs without
ducts, as the thymus Most of the
elemental matter is taken from food
stuffs i'm this country under the false
statement that the removal aids di-
gestion OF food in the human body.
The logical application OF this prin-
ciple of calotysis is the real key TO
the enormous progress in the goth
century everywhere, and TO German
Industrial efficiency in particular Our
failure TO apply il intelligently is at
the root OF our glandular deficiencies

In the limited selection OF foods
which are popular in the average
American home all the following re-

quantities: sausages. beefsteaks. ham.
chops. pork liver, white bread, soda
crackers, waters. cruellers. pies, pol

quantities to make up for the many
deficiencies OF other refined foods
