is it any wonder that the human
ace is on the toboggan? We cook
bhe life out of practically all of our
Hood. We eat cooked foods almost
Exclusively. Uncooked fruits and
Vegetables contain all of the sixteen
elements of the blood. But after we
ook these things, it is problematical
S to what our body gets from our
Nod. We may get ten elements, we
get fourteen, but it is certain
FRat we don not get the sixteen, or

Mccain says there is one
fling that man can eat and be as
/ med of all the sixteen elements for
is blood, and that is raw wheat. He
pas been SO long away from it that
is impossible to get back to it
bill at once, any way. So his wheat
bust be cooked. And there is the
Danger again. For in cooking wheat,
Valuable elements are liable to be
Eliminated My suggestion is to boil
pr cook wheat, it should be placed
IN a double boiler after soaking two
pr three days, and in this boiler keep
It on the stove at a low temperature
lntil it is softened and made edible.
+ can be cooked in a fireless cooker,
pr baking powder can can be en-
ployed. Put the wheat in the can,
add water and salt and replace the
top. Set this in kettle of water,
with smoothing iron or other weight
to hold it down. Allow it to boi!
slowly through several meals, until 1t
Is thoroughly cooked. Then eat
wheat and apple or other fruits and
lailk for one meal per day. Eat
whole wheat bread; quit eating white
bread and reduce the starches Cut
-hese to one per meal.
If this menu is followed as long
as ten days, the appetite for too
much meat and other harmful foods,
&c, will disappear. The constipa-
ion will disappear The old nerves

lated will settle down to their feed

Its simple. Eat whole white
bread instead of white bread. Eat
ply one starch at a meal. Eat
