WHEAT BREAD AND WATER
VS, BEST HOTEL FARE.
Aa the cost of living steadily
advances and as cancer and
other diseases said by many au
thorities to be due to wrong
diet become more serious, It be
comes more and more Impor
tant that the-re'atlon between
diet and efficiency should be un
derstood by the people. The
factors that sustain life are the
same factors that sustain health
and working capacity. There
fore a test of endurance is a
test of health and working ca
pacity. In all the great walk
ing contests held In Germany
and England as well as in this
country, the winners have been
abstainers from flesh meat.
Some months ago Dr. Sarge: t,
of Harvard, sent two brothers
on a walking contest across the
continent, the one eating a mix
ed diet, the other vegetables
only. As in all such contests
the one eat.ng the simpler diet
won. Dr. Sargent now says
this is not conclusive, believing
himself thst greeter energy and
endurance, physical and mental,
can be maintained by including
flesh in the ration. The author
of these hints has maintained
for many years that not only
the elimination of flesh but of
the great variety cf foods, act
ing only one or two at mest
three compatible foods at the
same meal, would result in vast
ly Improved health and effi
ciency, and a great reduction
In the cost of living and the
labor of preparing food. Some
years ago he lived for alxty
days on a tingle article of food,
doing his usual professional
work, Including teaching In a
medical school, and writing on
Diet and Health, ;nd several
similar demonstrations were
made by members of his volun
tary “squad,” better physical
work being done in every case,
and weight being gained, main
taining his contention. The
principles and practice ot the
Monodlet has been a prominent
feature of these Hints during
the past two years and many
have reported great benefit
from simplifying the diet. I
could find a man who would live
for thirty days or longer on
whole wheat bread and water
exclusively, while doing strenu
ous physical and mental work,
If Dr. Sargent would furnish
one who would do the same
kind of work, daily, eating the
ordinary meats of a first-class
Boston hotel. Arrangements
could be made for debating the
question, before an audience,
“Resolved, that the average
man can do better physical and
mental work and live twice as
long on a diet consisting of en
tire wheat bread and water
than on the average diet fur
nished In the best hotel,” the
contestants to debate the ques
tion before a public audience
every evening and to walk ten
miles daily.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
INCOMPATIBLE.
“To take fruit Into the stom
ach along with vegetables.”
*ays Dr. R. S. Ingqrscll, "will
cause trouble, for the fruit can
not te separated from tne vege
tables." Vegetables require
from two to four hours to di
gest, fruits about one hour, so
that there classes of foods are
incompatible. The fact that the
stomach discharges its contents
at Intervals makes food* requir
ing dlr.erent times for digestion
non* the less incompatible, for
examination of the contents of
the stomach two hours after eat
ing such a combination shows
tha fruit, or a part of It, mixed
with the other food, and it it
reasonable to suppose that the
effort to separate the two, after
the fruit Is prepared to pass. Is
wasteful of vitality and tends to
weaken the normal action of the
stomach, and accordingly we
find that in severe cases of dys
pepsia a cults’ monodlet is
necessary.

INCOMPATIBILITY OF FRUIT
AND VEGETABLES.
The editor of “Life and
Health” thinks that “in view of
recent observations on the action
of the stomach, some other ex
planation is needed for the in
compatibility of fruits and vege
tables” than that they require
different lengths of time to di
gest In the etomach. Variation
in time Is only one of the
causes of Inharmony of food*
upon which the theory of the
monodiet Is based. It has long
been known that the food be
gins to pass out of the etomach
when it is reduced to a certain
degree, which Is one of the In
ducements for thorough masti
cation, and that the etomach In
the process of digestion appar
ently divides Into compartments
so that besides the mechanical
reduction and the chemical ac
tion required to reduce the mast
to chyme, there Is a process of
sorting, and It is reasonable to
suppose that the less compli
cated the process of digestion i*
In every respect the less will
be the vitality required for the
work. Experience supports this
in tho treatment of the sick and
In the training of athletes as
well as In the consideration of
the subject from tH$ patholog
ical side.

Woman Finally Recovers
From Nervous Breakdown
Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 2t t Mechanic St., Pueblo,
Colo., says:
“For many years I suffered from
nervous prostration; I was unable
to do any hou>e work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies I
tried from druggists did not do
me a particle o: good. A neighbor
told my husband about
Dr. Mile*’ Nervine
and he procured a bottle. After the
first few do es I showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles ! was entirely cured, 1 have
been perfectly well for years and
annot praise Dr. Miles’ Nervine
too highly.”
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to tear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with >■ i. but that is no reason
why you should delay treatmenL
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
has proven its value in nervous dis
orders for thirty years, and merits
a trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you.
