DR. TONES CALLS MCCAIN
 OUR GREAT BENEFACT

(Continued from Page One) Dr. Tones said: For many years stock breeders and poultry men have studied very definitely what consti- | they were raising, chiefly animated by commercial reasons, the return on the money invested. Yet the very breed- CTS themselves haven't realized how to feed themselves or their own fami- lies. We have had all sorts of fads, but all through this has been a man who has had the real vision of dietetics, who has combined all the parts in the field.
 He has given us a vision such as no other teacher, and that is to use the unrefined food nature provides in full physiological balance and not permit man to destroy it, to have it properly cooked, and serve it with all the elements preserved. His vision has gone throughout the United States. We have tried to teach this simple truth in our public schools to the children.
 '"This man has been called the man with the indignant mind and we think his indignation just MT McCann is one of the greatest benefactors of the day. He is doing more to build up health and stamp out disease than any man in America today"
 In acknow1edgin the introduction, MT. McCann said: ''Dr. Zones has done an extraordinary thing in Bridge
 
 every city of the size of Bridgeport for the next generation, incalculable good would result, because as a man and as a member of the Board of Education he has had the courage to stand the gaff, to say to himself and those working with him: Why should the medical profession or any branch of it claim dietetics as it's particular monopoly, and deny the right of any other profession to meddle with dietetics when it is a we1l-known fact that the medical profession has never paid any attention to dietetics'." This sentiment was loudly applauded.
 MT. McCann reiterated Dr. Tones statement that man paid more atten- ton to the feeding of such animals as he raised for commercial purposes than he did to the food of his own family, and asserted that this neglect of the diet of children resulted in a higher mortality among children un der ten years of age at home during the war than in the American Elk peditionary Forces under German consciousness, he said, that it was safer to be a boy in khaki under Ger man shellfire than to be an American child at home" ing the natural elements from food in the refining process, MT. McCann said: ''A diet of any white bread baker in this city or any other city, m seven weeks Will XIII Cnlcken, d white mouse or a rabbit, and it is the | same with Cream of Wheat, corn | flakes, polish rice with water. or a l mixture of any one of them with white | bread and water. and Aunt Jemima's Pancake Flour with Karo added to | the white bread will do the same | thing. Children don't live on Karo, l Cream of Wheat, Kellogg's Corn | Flakes, mashed potatoes or white bread. They live because they get a little of other things. They get ollypop and molasses and sugars of all kinds"
 Speaking of vitamins, MT. McCann said: "The vitamin is only a infer snce. You can't separate vitamins rom a natural product, but when you refine a natural food product, it 1oesn't work. There is an inference hat something disappears when you hat something has been called vita nins.''
 In proof of the value of entire wheat bread MT. McCann cited the excellent physical condition of immi- yrants from the country districts of European districts where only dark bread was obtainable with the poor eeth of immigrants from the cities of he same country who ate white bread.
 Continuing, Mir McCann said: eff your bread is all right, you can take ! chance on baking powder in your

 Asked about white sugar he re- ,lied: ''We deliberately refuse to larbor 500, 000. 300 pounds of pure oney in this country. We don't keep ees and bees don't colonize on the 1 egetation. All through the Old testament honey is referred to as the S atural sweet of the human family 2 ye are not going to overcome the 1
