EATING: Within the past years nearly all of the so-called facts about food have been upset. It has been found that men, yes men, women and children can live, grow and be strong upon a diet that was supposed to lack certain necessary elemetns and with out which health and even life could not be maintained.
 For over a quarter of a century I have been telling people over and over how to eat The kind of food is not of so great importance as the combination of various kinds and the way or manner of eating.
 When I work in my laboratory, I find it necessary to observe certain laws, methods or ways of doing things. In mixing certain remedies I find it necessary to remember each one and the rule may read something like this: Grind No. 1 to very fine powder then add No. and again grind until the two are thoroughly 1 incorporated then add No. 4. Mix thoroughly in a mortar using no met al in mixing. Now addA No. one ounce at a time, stirring constantly | until 32 ounces have been so com ! pletely mixed that it is a finished product
 
 and then No. i the result EvoaId be | a complete loss of both cne1rlczlIs. l If I put all of the ingredients in at | once and tried to mix them there would be a, complete loss Of all the materials because they will not mix 1 in that way. No, 1 would remain No. 1 and No. 3 and 4 would be changed l into a third chemical that would be 1 Of no value as a remedy.
 1 To look at the remedy in another way, suppose we add them together according to the directions but do the l grinding or mixing in the same way | are in a hurry. The mass would not be properly mixed and would be of l no value as a medicine.
 | Now what is the lesson?
 l The alimentary canal is the most complete and elaborate laboratory in l eXistance. No human being cculd make or equip a laboratory in which foods as we find them could be changed into lining tissues, bones, 1 blood, nerves. hair, nails, etc. Is it l any wonder that the dumping of all | kinds of poorly mixed materials, l some of them of antag agoniStic nature. into this splendid laboratory, causes ! trouble.
 1 ! eyes just what some of the combina- tions that you put into your stomach will do, take a tablespoonful of flour, ! Half a teaspoonful of sugar and mix | them in a tablesoonfuI of water, a 1 tablesoonfu1 of vinegar and just a lit tie yeast. Put the mixture in a half
 pint bottle, cork tightly and place l it near the furnace or any place where it will be as warm as it would | be in your stomach for 24 hours. You
 will probably find the cork blown 1 out off the bottle, possibly the bot l tie may have burst. In any event you would not want the mixture ir your stomach especially if it is wash l ed down with a cup of strong coffee 1 well supplied with sugar and cream The great laboratory within the
 human body produces the most com plete extracts and serums that car | be imagined. How much think yoI
 is really secured to you and added tl
 your body out of a big dinner The
 actual amount is so small that yol
 couzd hardly believe it but if you take
 a pencil and paper and figure for { few moments you will be convinced I have seen men eat three big m reals per day with two lunches betweer
