Eggspounding the c. P. Diet
 In the concluding talk in this series of talks on the corrective pro- tective diet co. P. Diet for short) we shall hand you the menu in the traditional form, so that if you are keen to stay young or grow younger you can cut 1t out and carry 1t in your pocket-to fetch out and study for your own protection when you are up against the average badly balanced bill of fare.
 In the preceding talk we told why quart of pure fresh milk( prefer ably Certified, but at any rate raw milk) is so prominent part of the diet. It is worth repeating that part: Briefly the purpose of the diet is to prevent premature senility or if that has already set in then to reverse or at least retard the degeneration. Therefore at least @ quart of pure fresh whole raw milk, preferably Certified Milk, for that is the purest and most wholesome milk you can buy and it is well worth the 25 or 30 per cent pre- mium price it commands; second choice Grade A Raw Milk from tuberculin- tested herd, and this milk should have your physicians approval or your local health of- ficer's approval; third choice Grade A Pasteurized Milk, which is al- ways safe, at any rate; fourth choice, any milk you can get, but scald it yourself, that is, see that it boils for one minute only this makes any milk safe as stand ard pasteurized.
 Milk gives the prematurely senile individual, whether he or she is turning thirty or around fifty, cer- tain essentials which have to do with prolonging youth and the lack of which appears to favor pre- mature old age. Briefly these are calcium and phosphorus, vitamins, tactic bacillus growth in colon.
 Old George Cheyne, who wrote a great essay on health and long life 200 years ago, weighed 32 stone (448 pounds) when he was thirty, but reduced to 15O pounds when he got some sense in his noodle. He said every wise man after fifty ought to begin to lessen at least the quantity of his food finally descend out of life as he aScended into it, even unto the childs' diet. In other words, old George thought very well of milk. In fact he ex- claimed Milk and sweet sound blood differ in nothing but color milk is blood" George was born in Scotland = wonder If he didn't get his milk free for lugging it home or something. Seriously, though, there's more truth than poetry in what he says of milk. And here let me repeat that in my judgment fresh whole sweet raw milk (not sterilized or pasteurized or par-boiled or scalded) is quite as efficacious if not more so, for promoting vigorous growth of tactic bacilli in the colon and so discour- aging putrefactlve processes there, as in any fancy beverage or bac- astrological preparation purportlng to produce that effect.
 A quart of milk yields $50 cal- ories, which is approximately one- fifth of the requirement. of 8 nor nal adult of ordinary activity or one doing light work or getting some light exercise daily. In caloric or fuel value 1t is equiva. lent to a pound of the best lean meat. Moreover the nitrogenous, protein or cheese part of milk is fully as satisfactory in human nu- triton as is that material in meat, although this does not mean that mature adults should not eat meat there is no particular reason why 8 reasonable amount of meat should not be included in the diet of an individual past middle age.
