The Philosophy of Right Living Foods K. ' By JOHN LORIMER WORDEN Professor of Hygiene and Sanitation at Notre Dame University

A rs;ir.o cannot run without fuH: r.or can St run continuously; it must have rst. It rucds alo oilinv and rpairinf?. Th rrquir-mrnts of the fnclnc are analogous to tho need of man's body- Tho body ro-lulrt-s certain things viz: Ft;l or food, a time of rtt, an J a tim for re pa ir. Karly man was atoned with a ... or a platform of boughs for hi habitation. His principal occupation 'vas in krppint? his body alive, for this purpose h rathTfd food. Against tho inclemency of tho .nr-athrr he covered hlmsflf with tho kins of beasts. Man an intelligent beir.sr evidently improved upon thesu metier condition?, for at tho present day we find him employed in a large ' ariety of work far advanced above his original desires, but so nurr-er-t.i has man become and so depend:.t is he upon hl3 first necessities that a shortage of meat or of crops frequently results in his starvation. The prat problem of life is therefore, the production of food, and art different kinds of employment have called upon many men to live ir. Kreat communities called cities. theo men must of course depend for their food supply upon the farmer and the herder. Demand Variety of Food. The pople demand not only plenty of food and a larpe variety, i t the food must be pood. Food to l- tfood and serviceable to the human body must he fre from disease or contamination; it must be nour.ihinp:. Sometimes food i3 protected from contamination by preservative?; omo of these preservatives are decidedly harmful. Most modern processes of food preparation for I he market eliminate this objection. Their continued use by somo irnis is certainly not an attest of quality. To cook food properly is an ;irt. To cook food properly does not rr.e.-m to season it highly or to disKui.e it with flavors, so that it is plea.sinsr to the taate but distrusting ? the stomach; but to cook it plainly, so that tho frreatept physical nourishment may b pained. A good ppetite usually is a sign of pood health, but an appetite mad pood by its subjugation to pleasant flavors is connlxinfc fcr the stomach'n destruction The person who desires flavors Instead of foods, usually Korbes himself. It Is far better to arise from the table feelint? a little hungry than to arise feeling overfall. Individuals who are habitual banqueters have frequently to take the great cure for dispepsia, namely starvation. Many foods to be. palatable and diirestable should bo cooked. Tho stomach of man through centuries of habit has become accustoniod to the dlentlon of cooked food. The acid and alkaline juices f digestion are not powerful f nough to chemically change tho myosin of raw meat, nor to break the walls enclosing the starch trains, but there are foods of the fruit variety which we may eat uniooked and which supply salt and mi car. and also act as very gentle l.i xatives. Cooking Kill Germ. Cooking destroys disease germs, ar.d the power, in some casts, of their toxins and also such forms of Parasitic animal life as the tape norm and the trichina. Both of these, well known to the medical wcrld come from eating measley uncooked meat. rork well cooked i. difficult to digest but raw pork H extremely ?", and then wc may have the. diffculty of digestion supp!em nted by a sickening parasite. The tapt worm may be found in ither beef or pork. The beef tape worm is the most common In the

l'p'tcd States. Its life history is as follows: After it obtains residence in the body. It attaches itself by hooks or suckers to tho intestinal wall, and develops fiat egv,- sacs. Tt absorbs its nourishment from the iijrested food of the intestine. In the course of time tho egg sacs ri;en consecutively and pas from th- body in the excrement. The !Tir-5 bring at liberty are scattered promiscuously and some are incllor.tlv eaten by a bet f or a hog. Th? !ife ycle 1- thus completed The peculiarity of the tape worm in imi'iMng digested food causes a continuous waste both of the food and The energy of tho digestive organs; besides causing an ins atilcient s'lpp'y of as;.;mliatable material for th re.'.eral tissues of tho body. The tap norm cau",s weakness f the body : :u a general susceptibility to disA Ircad-cl Parasite. The trichina lauses the d: is known as trickinosis. It is found ia ieas!ey pork. Its cycle of existence vonsists in a journey from a rat t a hog, and from a ho; to a man and from the eorpe of ths man auai:; to the rat. It :s ir e -f th mcst dreaded of human parasites. The introduction of a single egg into the Stomach wdll in a brtef time cive h.rth to 0,000 individuals perfectly i.stinguishable t tlie unaided eye. After lodging in the stomach for a time, they then l'gin a migration through the stomach v.a'.'s. Dunn; this migration the person afiecte.l suffers a high f-ver. The trieninae eventually lodge in the muscles of the loins and there become encysted, should the indUiduai survive until :h:s happens, he ha nothing to :.ar. except for a stiffness ar.d a-i orcasional dull J -tin in those region., lie may live ii'.my years. His death r. suits in the liberation of the encted trichinae proided rats have access to th- dt-co::;posin.g body. Tha -e tuo exampUs 1 cite to oü of th.- p.ra-itic tlangers attending car. -'seating. They .re or.ly two of similar hundreds. Cook meat well and cook it properly The m os:n or albumen of meat is iM.i'jaM.' with .. hence the more it is cooked the more tenaciously dots the albumen cling. it cannot be cooked out; it la auoar-

Jt-nt therefore that beef broth mad I from choftp d be f is lis' lss as ri

food. All we obtain by that process is water fiavored by a few extractives, none of them being albumen. non c-f them of much moro consequence than the water in which they are boib-d. Extractives of bef made by extracting the albumen with dilute acids ar highly important, since th- ral nourishment is obtained, lies, des destroying germs and parasites, cooking loosens the connective tissue which holds the muscle fibers together muscle is th lan of meat and makes them more easily attacked by the digestive juices. ; Chew Food W'vll. Food should be well chewed. CIoo.J teeth are a prime essential, wheth

er natural or false, and it should be

a matter of concern to every person to have a rcliible dentist to examine the teeth at lease once each year, flood teeth are kept healthful by usage. The teeth are the hardfst portion of the bodv. They are kept healthful by exercise, and the exercise does not consist in chewing gum or in eating ice cream, but in biting food that is resistant, and chewing It with knowledge. The eating of soft foods causes the teeth to decay; caures them to lose their firmness in the bones of the jaws, and permits the inroads of an animal form called Plasmodium Pyorrhea, it is advisable to chew each day a piece of resistant wood or similar substance. Jim Ilrown's ability to bite a nail into two parts, should offer no inducement to you to try and do likewise. Place no metal near the teeth. If the teeth mut be cleansed use a tooth brush or a wooden tooth pick. Sugars and starches are transformed into alcohols and eventually into acids by tho action of the saliva, hence after eating clean the teeth with tooth powder or paste- About once each week ure soap Never use any frrltty substance, such as charcoal powder or salt. It is better to take this care, than to permit your lazy actions to be an asset to the work of the destructive teeth bacteria called Spirillum, which act vigorously in an acid medium. Once the hard outer coating of the enamel is broken, the life of tho tooth involved, as a perfect part of the body. Is gone. Mioulti bo AppetiJng. Food should be appetizing; of course a real hungry man will eat whether the food is pleasing oi not; but to people of ordinary occupations, who are used to fare thrice daily it is bette, for the stomach to have what is called a palatable dih. The saliva Is caused to flow when the first odors of a savory preparation reaches the nostrilas with the salivory flow there is a sympathetic flow of the gastric juice of the stomach, and so on to the intestines and pancreas. This is known as psychic stimulation. Use discrimination in the selection of foods. Remember that all appetizing foods are not easily digested, and to sit down to a table laden with various dishes of food, and to eat any and everything, not only snows your utter carelessness of your stomach, but establishes your propensities as a glutton. If you wish to know yourself well, get acquainted wl;h your stomach, and in later years, you will not be bothered with onrt of the worst of human Ills, dyspepsia. Fating between meals is a habit, und the plainer our food is the less the desire, since we eat more to the taste and smell develop a desire

body. The sensory i-.erve endings of tato and smell dcvelopo a desire fo:- a pleasant food stimulation, jus the same as the nerve terminals in the mouth and nose evince a desir; for tobacco. The habit of slaving ones self to food is relatively a form ef intemperance. We become slaves to our appetites. We fortrot that wo are eating in order to live, not living, as decadent Rome di 1, to eat. Temperance should be practiced in every form of our existence: In our manner of dressing, in our deportment, in our language and especial'y in our eatir.r. lilting Uctwccn Meal. Children may be privileged to eat between meals, since they rarely eat .sufficient food at the usual times, besides their lives are normally so active and their growth is so continuous, but a child should not be given the variety of foods daily taken by an adult. To give a child indigestible and highly acid foods M taking advantage of the child's" innocence. Parents are as responsible for th child's physical well being as our school teachers- are for its mental training. Teach the child to like simple foods. Teach it to know that we eat because of necessity, that we are intelligent beings, seeking to live long and to live truthfully. Collations between meals, often desired by adult people, is a willful waste of food, and a means of keeping the stomach continuously at work. People suffer more frequently from eating too much than from eating too little. A person may drink water with impunity, providing the water is not i:e water, nor water containing too much mineral substances. As for drinks such as "pop" the least that is drunk the better. Persons of sedentary occupations. whf are blessed with a good appetite, live under the sword of Dar-

i nodes. Their capacity for storing

food is secondary only to their kinsman the hog. and their existence is just as precarious. Should Hate iood Appetite. A person should not have a poor appetite. He should take enough

! physical exercise to warrant at least

two substantial meals each day, and if Iiis occupation does not permit him to feel the brightness of every day life he should change his work. It is far better to be a healthful hard handed farm laborer than a

! sickly clerk.

People desire greasy foods. They do not call them by that name. Nevertheless food fried in lard, butter or a similar substance is greasy, ami such foods are the worst kinds to digest- They are objee tionable because the gastric juice of the stomach does not act upon fats nor oils, and If food which we eat Is coated with a layer of grease. It must needs pass undigested into the intestine before the greasy coating is re moved, and ihe food particles attackedThus an extra amount of work is thrown upon the solvent glands of tho pancreas and intestine. Roiled or baked or roasted foods are best; preferably boiled. Remember that diseases of the stomach may come from insufficient exercise of that organ as well as from too much exercise, and also that acute indigestion may be caused by swallowing food not properly masticated. Chew food as completely as possible- If you cannot chew it be polite enough to your stomach as not to swallow it. Io not sacrifice your health to social forms. Don't Fat Win n Sweaty. it is not advisable to go to your meals when in a profuse perspira

tion, because then the heat is drawn to the surface of the body and the internal secretions are lessened. For the same reason do not eat abundantly In hot weather, nor of foods which are hard to digest. Do , .11 1 . 1 - .V.r. . l t I rvY r

i nui ui lui. u.jij eat UL lilV- JUie mm . 'The saliva should be of sutficient

quality to moisten you' food. Drinking with each mouth;ul becomes a habit. The food is washed into the stomach without being properly chewed. Drink before the meal and after the meal. Do not go fatigued to your meal. Rest awhile- SSoothe the nerves system, before placing another task upon it, and when tho meal is finished, rest awhile. The stomach needs the blood for its work Muscular or mental exercise calls the blood away. Especially do not place the abdomen in a constrained position by bending over your work. Food substances contain ingredients which are beneficial to the body, in that they cuse a peristaltic movement of the intestines. These ingredients are found in greater quantities in some foods than in others. Examples of such foods are: Graham bread, oat meal, lettuce, radishes, etc. It is absolutely necessary to eat more food than is assimilated by the body. since tho moderate distension of the intestinal canal causes an afferent or sensory stimulation to the nerve centers which results In a motor impulse that causes this peristaltic movement. We must eat a variety of foods, and from this variety there is normally selected enough material to compensate for the body's needs. I'at Agrcoable - rood. In your selection of food do not eat things which do not agree with you. Utriearia is caused in some people by eating strawberries, biliousness is caused in others by drinking too much milk. Milk or malted milk tablets Is more suitable for a child than meat pickles or cheese. The digestive organs have to become developed and hardened to tb processes of eilgestlon and a child's stomach and intestine Is comparatively speaking as tender and gentle as its hands. Do not eat or drink things because they are pleasant to the taste. Arsenic is sweet and old milk is sour, yet sour milk is unpleasant hut very wholesome and is certainly to be preferred to arsenic. Eat your meals cool or warm, but never hot. The mucous membrane of the aesophagus and stomach is injured by taking hot foods. Hot foods are claimed as the cause of cancersThe principal materials of foods necessary to the growth and repair f tho body are: Fats, oils, carbohydrates, proteids, and assisting these are inorganic salts and water. Mnergy Producer. Fats and oils are found In meats, milk, cheese, etc. They are producers ef much energy, but are harder to digest than the other substances.

i They are; acted upon by the juices

of the pancreas and intestine, and in the form of soap and emulsions are absorbed by the intestinal walls. Proteids are found also in meats and other substances. The plants arc the great proteid formers of the world. All animal life is dependent upon the plants for its proteids.

(Proteids are great energy producer?

and possess besides the element Nitrogen one of the principal constituents of all animal tissue. A familiar example of a proteid or albuminous substance is the white of an egg. The carbohydrates are exemplified in sugars and starches. They are also producers of much energy. The energy liberated in the body come: from the destruction of tho tissues, and these tissues are made of microscopic portions called cells. It is necessary to keep the tissues In repair; and that reparation is conducted as follows: Portions of the food which we eat are absorbed by a set of vessels in the intestinal walls called lacteals. These vessels lead Into an elongated sac called the receptacle of the chyle, which leads

j to another elongated portion called

ithe thoracic-duct. This duct empties

into a blood vessel close to the heart, and in this way our food gets into the circulation. Now the blood on

its journey through the body pass-

I es, in places, through very thin wall

ed vessels, millions in number, called capillaries The walls of these vessels permit tho food substance

I of the blood to exudate and bathe

the tissues. In this way the elemental food substance gets to the cells of the tissue. Hence you may readily see that it is quite necessary that good nourishing food be supplied, and that the circulation of the blood be kept as perfect as possible. Inorganic salts and water are called force regulators, more so than force generators, a name applicable to the fats, oils, carbohydrates and proteids. They aid undoubtedly in the building of tissue, besides keeping the proper amount of water in the body, but as energy producers their power is negligible. Condiments or accessory food substances such as pepper, mustard, citsup. in many cases make the fool more palatable, but their use is not to be encouraged, since they unduly stimulate the nerves of the sense of taste and are a hindrance rather than a help to the processes of digestion. Itody Requires Salt. The body requires salt but the amount is very small in proportion tv the general usage of that commodity. Tea. coffee and cocoa contain principals which place them in .the category of drugs. These substances contain virtues besides containing poisonous alkaloids which are nerve destroyers. Tea, coffee and cocoa act as stimulants to the nervous system, and in some cases the after effects of this stimulation causes dullness Insomnia and muscular apathy.- The best advice is either to let them alone or to drink them sparingly. Especially do not drink strong tea'or coffee. The alkaloid Theien, extracted by boiling these substances causes a form of drunkenness both revolting and disgusting. All foods are poisons when either in themselves or their chemical transformation In the body, they do injury to the body. Drugs are used for temporary effectsA person addicted to their use. displays an evidence of weakness Stimulants and narcotics should not be used, unless under the advice of authority. Even the giving of pephin "to a disordered stomach is unwise since we are disguising an effect without attacking the cause. The promiscuous chewing of gum is not only vulgar but Is inJuriouH. since it unduly exercises the muscles of the face. It causes a super-abundant (low of the saliva, and is. in many cases, the cause of headaches. Do not substitute drugs or kindred substances for the hygienic conduct of life- When we know that a thins is harmful, wc should- cease its use. To have a hankering after a particular substance is an evidence that our wills have something to combat.
