What Shall I Eat
BY WALTER G. DAY

AS I have written before, If we
will only cooperate with the laws
of life, we will marvel at the SIM
plicity of Natures miracles in get
ting us well, when we have violat-
ed her laws.
Nature furnishes U.s. with natural
means through which we may seek
health, energy, vigor and vitality,
which is contingent on developing
a greater intelligence with which
to pursue our search for knowl-
edge. If we use our intelligence,
Nature (rewardS) smiles on us,
"As a man thinketh, so is he"
It is incredible and beyond hu-
man comprehension, how nature
stands by with infinite patience
and compassion, and brings to us
warnings, time after time, in the
form of pain, suffering and poor
health, wondering why her pro-
found handiwork should turn out
to be so stupid. We insult Nature
by eating inorganic material (not
fooO because food would keep us
well and healthy.

virtue of the chemical elements in
many vegetables containing sodium
for maintaining the solubility of
calcium. Take red beets as an IL
lustration; they contain more than
500 sodium, while the calcium
content is only about SO. This is
valuable proportion for maintain
ing the solubility of calcium, eSpe-
cially where inorganic calcium con-
tanned in concentrated starches and
sugars form deposits within the
blood vessels, resulting in tough
ening of the walls, hardening of
the arteries, thickening of the
blood, varicose veins, resulting in
high blood pressure and other
forms of heart trouble.
Carrot, beet, and cucumber juice
is valuable In disSolving gallStones
and kidney stones. Gravel in the
gall bladder and kidneys are the
natural result of the inability of
the body functions to eliminate
from the system the inorganic cal
cium deposits formed after eating
concentrated starcheS and sugars.
Suppose we dwarf ourselves to
the size of an atom and explore the
human body. The gall bladder is
directly connected with the liver
and with the blood stream by
means of the bile duct and hepatic
duct. All the food we eat is "brok-
en- down" in the digestive track,
and the elements 1t contains are
carried by the blood stream to the
liver for further processing and
segregation. No concentrated grain
or flour product can be completely
utilized for the reconstruction of
cells and tissues, particularly If it
has been devitalized by heat. Its
o component elem n IS, however,
must necessarily pass through the
liver; and among these elements
we have calcium. Such starch
molecules are not soluble in water.
Biologically, we are the func-
ton of chemistry. We must put
foods into our body which have
been made organic through the
chemistry process of plant life and
growth. That is the only kind OF
calcium that is soluble in water,
Cor any other element in that re-
spect). Vegetation miraculously
transforms and vitalizes inanimate
substances into living cell and It's
sues. It takes inorganic elements
from the air, from the water, and
from the earth, converting them
into organic element. It takes MI
trogen and carbon from the air;
nitrogen minerals, and mineral
salts from the earth in which it
grows; and hydrogen from water.
The most vital and potent factor
in this process of conversion Is the
life-giving influence Of the rays OF
the sun which generates the chlor-
ophyll. Millions of people never
get enough Of the raw, green
(chlorophylD vegetable element, in
the tops of vegetables. will write
more in my next column, about the
phenomenal chlorophyll molecule.
