DEFENSIVE Diet LEAGUE FOUNDER GIVES TWO
INSTRUCTIVE ADDRESSES ON FOOD SELECTION
George Hater Toledo Is Speaker At Regular Luncheon
Session of Augusta Kiwanis Club, And At Public Meeting
Thursday Evenng-Hearers Find Much of Interest Talk
On Food Values
Evening Address

Much stress was laid upon the ne
cessity of eating foods in proper COM
binations, by George Z. Harter, foun-
der of the Defensive-Diet League of
America, in q public address deliver
ed Thursday evening at the Congre-
gational church. Mr.. Harter pointed
out that certain foods are only of use
to the body through the elements
which are taken from them In the
mouth, while others are not changed
in the mouth but are handled further
along in the alimentary canal.
At the same time the digestion OF
these foods may be entirely paralyzed
by the presence of certain other foods,
so that care must be taken to keep
from mixing foods which will not
work together. He declared that eat
ing meat, potatoes and bread together
as Is often done is responsible for
much misery and many deaths and
advised that the bread be eaten sep
arately If at all. Potatoes should only
be eaten baked with the skins on, and
meat should never be eaten more
than once day.
Mr.. Harter declared that eighteen
years ago he was told by doctors that
within two years he would be blind
and within five years he would be
dead. After short period of resig-
nation to the doctors edict he began
to rebel and knowing something of
foods already, he decided that much
OF his trouble was due to improper
eating. He studied the matter. made
some experiments and the result has
been that he works hard for 16 or IS
hours day without trouble and is
the picture of health.
He cited authorities who stated that
if they could feed the patients in the
insane asylums rightly they would dis
charge one-half of them, cured, within
two years; and if they could combine
this with fasting, they could turn out
the other half as we'll He declared
that the state of New York is asking
| for huge appropriation for the pur-
pose of increasing their facilities along
| the lines of jails. prisons, asyltfns
and sanitariums, but said that half of
that sum would be to make these I'M
necessary if used for the dissemina-
| ton of knowledge as to right methods
| In eating
The speaker went into the mechan-
| les of the human system, telling some
| thing OF the processes through which
! the food goes in the body and pointing
out how different foods are handled in
| different ways. He particularly
! stressed that the alkaline foods should
be eaten consistently in order that
alkaline elements might be present in
much greater quantities in the body
! than are the acid ones. Among other
foods which he stated were to be eaten
for this purpose were spinach and the
many vegetables and the various
fruits such as oranges, lemons, grape
| fruit and others.
The address was followed by an
open forum at which those interested
asked many questions with regard to
specific foods, and asked him to am
plify certain statements which had
been made in the address.

Fifteen priests opened the service

I'VE who obtain our living from
this ivory cannot help feeling CRATE
full to the elephants which have been
furnishing materials for US to work

honor and comfort to the spirits Of
our ancestors who were likewise in
the ivory trade. We wish all artists
and dealers in ivory objects to visit
the monument as a shrine when they

NEW FERRY OVER DELAWARE

Ground has been broken at Cape
May Point for the New Jersey land
ing place of the New Jersey-Dela-
ware Ferry Company from there to
the government pier in Lewes.
The ferry line will run between
Cape May Point and Lewes. Cape
May Point is on the Delaware Bay,
while Cape May is four miles distant
on the ocean. Landing at Cape
May Point will be much easier than
at pier on the ocean and in addition
the vessels will avoid the necessity
of carrying of double crews, which
would be. necessary if they ran to
Cape May itself.
1t is estimated the ferry service
will mean saving of three hours for
traffic across the Delaware Bay
Plans call for the operation of two
lake steamships.
The Lewes terminus will be the
U. S. Government dock, which has
been leased.
