world buzzing around the sun, and
Clues the stars in their places. Our
food Is like charges of dynamite,
which tiny detonators inside us can
force to shoot Off Its energy, oil ready
for us to use."
"Then don't we make our own
strength, father?"
"Oh, no, our bodies do not create
one bit Of new matter any more than
an automobile does. We must put gas
oline into the tank oil ready made, or
tho car will not 60. Our bodies are the
same. They are mere machines, and we
get out Of them only what we put In.
Fortunately for the world there Is one
thing in 1t that can create more dy-
Mantle out of waste, especially out Of
the waste of our bodies after we have
thrown It, away. You would never
guess what 1t is. 1t is called the green
o'-leaf (ChlorophylD, and is the sub
stance that makes any leaf green. That
Is why take Off my hat to all green
plants. The world could not last any
time without chlorophyll. That breaks
up waste, and catches the energy Of
the shinshine, and sticks the particles
together in new blocks, and then hands
them to us as new, ready made food
cartridges. If 1t is potato, or flour,
or corn, or porrldge cartridge, we call
1t starch. The storehouse cells keep
these with the sugars They are all
labelled carbohydrates because there
is carbon and water In them.
IA chemist recently said that the
necessary ingredients to make man
out of are as follows:
Items. Fat enough for seven bars
of soap iron enough for one medium
sized nail; sugar enough to fill a
shaker; lime enough to whltewash one
chickencoop; phosphorus enough to
make two thousand and two hundred
match tips, magnesium enough for one
dose of 'salts' potash enough to ex-
plode one toy cannon, and sulphur
enough to rid one dog Of fleas. Even
at postwar prices you could buy the
whole lot for 90 cents.
ut is easy to remember that the
body uses the starches for fuel to burn
up meats, proteids, and fats, or hydro
carbons.
"Of course every cartridge must
have cap to set 1t off and enable
any one to make use of Its energies,
just as a stick Of dynamite must have
detonator That Is exactly what the
supply cells do, they set off the cart
ridges which the plants make; or you
can say that the cells are playing the
great game of life, and the plants
keep sending down the things to play
with. Now we will label each player.
II does not stand for Harvard, but
for hydrogen; o not for Oxford, but
for oxygen; O not for Columbia, but
for carbon; N not for Newfound-
land but for nitrogen. The plants ar.
range these players into regular teams.
We start them marching down the red
lane, and the cells set them free to
play. The cells know exactly how to
use each team, because they know how
many there are of each kind of play
ers In each group. Thus the Starch
Team has 2 C's, G O's and IL HIS. That
is the team, as you now know, which
gives US energy the quickest. You will
learn about the other teams some day.
Each has the same kind Of players.
(See picture.)
"There are few special things
which the supply cells must have to
do their work. These things they can.
not manufacture; and for them we
have got to go back once more to our
friends the plants. These things are
to put life into the players-some-
thing like the lemons which people
throw the football team at half-tlme--
so we call them 'vitamines.'
1.-THE United Cell Company are
very remarkable crowd They not only
do all the upbuilding, but they get to-
gether and practically tell you and me
what they want, and make us give
Il to them. When they shout out, we
know what they want, and we call 1t
liking q thing AS rule they call up
central about three times day, for
they have wonderful habit Of look
Ing ahead, and they want to have sup
plies Just where they can get them
when they need them. Thus we call
their shout for Fl and 0 being thirsty,
because two HIS and one 0 make wa
ter. BY the way, do you know that
about three-fourths Of our whole body
is water? Sometimes they call out:
Sugar, please
"Too much fat Is sort OF poison
Never get fat"
