(Copyright, 1916, by Alfred W. MeCann.) V CHAPTER 22 Food minerals arc so essential to life ami health that when the lM)dy is deprived of some of lliem or fails to iliul the minimum of any one of them disease inevitably follows. The smallest boy in the laboratory can be made to understand the won derful oxidizing: property of sulphuric acid. When this acid is generated in the human body, as it is generated every day, it is immediately neutral ized by the alkaline bases which na ture, under normal conditions, never fnlls to provide for that purpose. Phosphoric acid is also generated in the body and neutralized in the same manner. Calcium, magnesium, and potassium are among these alka line bases provided by natural foods. If they are not present to do their work within a short time the destruc tive action of the sulphuric and phos phoric: acidg can end only in disaster. A few drops of sulphuric, acid taken into the body from a bottle will pro duce death, by attacking the tissues, oxidizing and destroying them. When food, from which the min erals have been removed by commer cial processes or by foolish methods of cookery, is introduced into the body it results in the formation in the body of free sulphuric acid from the albumenoid sulphur and of free phos phoric acid from the many complex phosphorus compounds found norm ally in meat, cheese, eggs, and other articles of diet. These acids, in the absence of the alkaline bases that ought to be pres , ent, and which in normal, natural , foods always are present, must be neutralized as rapidly as they are : evolved. It is because they are | neutralized that wc find them "in the urine as discarded waste products in | the form of sulphates and phosphates. When the neutralizing bases have been removed from food before it Is consumed these acids abstract basic elements from the living tissues, thereby Impairing or destroying them. Meat, which is minced and Immers ed for a few hours in distilled water, loses Its potassium, magnesium, and calcium salts. It also loses Its color. If cooked in this condition it will be found to be tasteless. If fed to dogs and cats or other animals these ani mals will eat a little, then refuse to take more, and if fed on nothing else , will actually die more quickly than animals that are not fed at all. This can be accounted for not only through the generation of the free sulphuric and phosphoric acids in the I bodies of the animals but also by an ! other fact. The animals fed on the demineral ized meat, in addition to being de prived of the food minerals Indis pensable to life's processes, are also obliged to dissipate their reserve vitality at a rapid rate through the efforts of their organs to throw off the useless and dangerous food ele ments imposed upon them; whereas the animal that Is starved outright is MILITIA 128,000 IN HOUSE BILL Army of 147,000 Is Agreed lo; Committee Agrees lo Double Force in Time of War j Special to the Telegraph Washington, Feb. 22. The funda mental features of the army reorgan izatlon bill one of the two major measures of the national defense pro gram were agreed upon by the House Committee on Military Affairs. The big outstanding feature of the committee's plan is the fact that it provides for a total peace strength of 575,000 men In the standing army and: National Guard combined, with re-i serve systems to more than double the ] force in war time. Other big points resulting from the committee's deliberations are: a stand- j ing army of 147,000 men, the com-1 plcte Federalization of the National i Guard; doubling of the number of: cadets at West Point, the construe- j tion of a Government ammunition plant and the creation of a large i army reserve. The expense for the whole estab lishment this year is roughly esti mated at $174,000,000, exclusive of Panama Canal defenses, another bill, proposals for additional ___ j < v " 1 V "** •' v ' ' ■ ••• •'• "' f I 5 j• 1 C 5 • ■ ■ , , '-<•-; , ; ' , > ■, .••>.•".>. :■■•■ : \ • V ....

It is obvous that we must see to It i that our food contains these minerals. Certain self-styled experts have gone , so far as to declare sometimes in the interest of certain commercial food stuffs that all human food contains an excess of. mineral salts. It can be said with emphasis that where natural foods arc considered the statement made by these experts Is never true. On the contrary, it has been conclusively proved that in many instances, particularly where refined ; foods are consumed, mineral salts are ■ carried out of the body in life's pro cesses faster than they are taken in. This is notably the case In tubercu losis and other wasting diseases, in which the calcium content of the feces invariably exceeds the calcium , j content of the food consumed. It was the case among thousands of the chH •. dren who, under the age of ten years, died last year in the United States, i Nature does provide a reserve store ) house, from which, in emergencies, > for a short time, the body may find ! the elements it requires. But if the • diet is of such a refined character that ; it exhausts nature's storehouse, de • structive consequences inevitably fol • j low. j This fact must be remembered in > the feeding of the children, because • when the food of the Infant is changed 1 from a purely milk diet to a mixed s. diet great, injury may result from a > i deficiency of lime and other salts, i This injury manifests itself on the > I surface in the form of defective teeth, i but defective teeth constitute only a . symptom of much deeper ravages go i ing on unseen within. i An exclusive flesh diet is poor in : j lime and many of the foods on which , | children are fed have as much as 75 ; per cent, of the lime natural to them removed before they are put upon ■ the table. This is one of the reasons . why the excessive consumption of I meat is a curse. Meat is deficient in . j the mineral salts required by the body > j unless consumed as the tiger and the ij leopard consume it. lapping up the ■ i blood and gnawing the bones. II In consequence, the excessive meat s eater is plagued with rheumatism, i asthma, and many other diseases in the alleviation of which he Is sent to ■ ; the mineral springs in order that he ! i may drink water containing calcium, i magnesium, and sodium sulphate. | These waters, however large the j quantity in which they may be con- I sumcd, are useless unless the offend \ ing diet is first corrected, the peg re -1 moved. i ]Jt its proper place, baby's diet, 1 based on the importance of its min -1 era! contents, will be carefully out lined and of even greater importance and significance the diet of baby's i j mother before baby is bo' - n will re i ceive the same attention. 'military schools in all States, carried in the McKeldar bill, favorably re ported by the committee, with an appropriation of $3,840,000 for this purpose, and whatever may later be . decided upon in carrying out a scheme |to foster the fixation of atmospheric j nitrogen in the United States, giving j the country its own supply of in ! gredients for explosives. The first year of the Garrison plan would have ! called for a total expenditure of $182,- I 000.000. To complete the committee's eom ; promise with President Wilson on the j continental army, the bill will author ize the increase of the regular army to the total peace strength of 147,- 000 by adding 10 regiments of infan try, 4 regiments of field artillery, 52 1 companies of coast artillery, 15 com panies of engineers and 4 aero squad rons. This is the exact regular army program mapped out by ex-Secretary Garrison before the unfavorable re ception of the continental army scheme led to his resignation.
