FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 25, 1916 f( FOODS THEY BUILD OR DESTROY Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the Things You Eat. (Copyright, 1»1«, by Alfred W. McCann.) U '' CHAPTER 24 Modern commercialism puts pat re- , , (active products into the human body and then by refining food takes away ' many of the Instruments with which nature Ugh Is these putrefactive prod , acts. Babies and small children are handl [ capped If their parents or nurses lg • nore the meaning of the thyroid gland. • Animals cannot live without the thy roid gland under certain conditions, I and yet one of the elements necessary i ■ to the normal, healthy thyroid In | i child or adult la deliberately removed . from the diet every day. The ordinary grains of the field, j 1 barley, rice, wheat, corn and rye, con- 11 1 tain normal traces of lodine before j they are refined, but there Is not a i chemist In the country who can dls- | cover a trace of this indispensable food mineral In a ton of refined white bread, biscuits, crackers, cakes, table syrups, cornstarch, tapioca, glucose, or sugar candy or in any of the other denatured foods upon which man Is [ now striving to sustain a normal body under such dreadful handicaps. The food mineral lodine is wasted with many of the other food minerals natural to normal food and it Is only i through such discoveries as are re ported here that the human family ever obtains a hint of the wonderful intricacy and profundity of nature's processes. The thyroid gland Is a protecting policeman on guard in the human body. The young child eating food un natural to its requirements possesses ' no such police protection. It lives in a state of physiological anarchy. Ex- : cess meat in the diet affects not only • I the thyroid but the liver as well, i In the ingenious experiment con ducted by Eck a ligature was applied to the portal vein close to the liver, thus cutting out the liver from the i portal circuit of a dog. It was found j that a dog thus treated died In three days when fed upon meal, whereas another when fed upon bread and milk lived in excellent health for an indefinite length of time, notwith standing the cutting off of its liver functions. i Pavlov showed that the liver has three times us much work to do on a i meat diet as on a meatless diet. According to Bryce. flesh foods, .it the time they arc consumed, contain on an average of 200,000,000 purefac tive bacteria in every gram. But he c shows that nature has not left us to the tender mercies of these poison ! producers. This is proved by the fact that auto-intoxication does not disturb people in normal health, all of whose organs and glands, including the thy roid, either by good fortune or by the - exercise of intelligent discretion are f normally nourished, thereby enabling i them to carry on their normal func- I ttoning. i The people of America are consum - ing more meat than any other nation I of the world and whether they know ■ it or not they are consuming meat and > meat products that have entered into : advanced stages of putrefaction. Frequently they attribute cases of : ptomaine poisoning to canned toma i toes, condensed milk, huckleberry pie, cheese sandwiches, and other foods, i The real truth is never suspected.

Keitel, obtain forty-seven convictions in the courts against meat packers, sausage manufacturers, and wholesale provi- : ■ion merchants for selling deodorized rotten meats and meat products, chemically treated, so as to dl3gulse from the unsuspecting purchaser their true condition. I have also obtained the removal from office of veterinarians and in spectors In the employ of health de- I partments and of the Bureau of Ani mal Induatry for Intriguing w-lth cor- 1 ruptlon through the assistance given by them to influential but conscience less food panderers who have not heeded these laws of life in their pur suit of dollars. The details of these convictions, shocking in the extreme, are a matter of court record. In the meantime, even when the meat Is honest, fresh, wholesome, and cut from carcasses of animals that have been free from in- , fectious and contagious diseases at the time of their slaughter, it requires normal organs to dispose of It prop erly. These normal organs require the elements found In natural food to keep them normal. Modern commer cialism helps to put putrefactive prod ucts into the human body and then by refining food takes away many of the tools with which nature fights I these putrefactive bodies. The thyroid gland and the many serious diseases which follow adii-l turbanee of its functions help to em- ! phasize the necessitv in the diet of every individual, adult or child, of the j tood minerals which I shall soon show you are squandered by modern clvlllza tion with a reckless abandon never equalled by savages. Springtime is the season of high spirits in nature. Man alone in the Spring complains of lassitude. All around him under the action of na- ! ture s unmolested law he witnesses the I miracle of rising sap, the quickening strength that swells the bud, the im pelline energy that forces the spear of grass to lift itself upward through '.he lately risen clay. Man contrasts his weariness with the power and mastery, the sparkle ind eIo«', the warmth and buoyancy °' Spring, yet just as the earth has ihe green grass in its depths so has lie the freshness of nature in his heart, lie is just as much a part of nature: nature's law grips him just as tightly in its grasp. He needs his "tonic" or thinks he does, because he does not tol low the laws of life, but closes his eyes upon them and sets up standards of his own. Unhappily his standards are at war with heaven, and so he pays his price in death. Those stern mortality records, com piled by the census director at Wash ington. showing that nearly 400,000 I children under ten years of age die in the I nited States every year, force us to realize that as a nation we have been busier building tunnels, subways, railroads, skyscrapers, bridges, air craft and Atlantic liners and living in luxury than in developing healthv, normal bodies. The time has come when we must teach the child that if he wishes to j live and grow strong and be useful he must eat the food which God has made necessary to the growth of his body We shall soon learn how to se -1 lect that food.

Schwab intends to do with his pur chases, and other facts which hitherto 1 have only been supposed are told In a i story relating the inside facts concern- ] ing the Bethlehem purchase of Penn- J sytvania Steel In the current issue of the Iron Age. In full the article follows: "Following closely the Midvale ac quisition of the Cambria Steel Com- i pany and ending the seemingly in terminable discussion concerning stock holdings in the Pennsylvania Steel Company and Its ultimate status came I a formal announcement on February j IS that the lutter company had passed I to the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. After a meeting of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation on that day, at which E. G. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Company, was elected president of the corporation to succeed Charles ! M. Schwab, who had been both presi dent and chairman of the board, the ; following statement concerning the, Pennsylvania Steel Company purchase was made: Schwab's Statement | " "The purchase price aggregates ap proximately $31,900.000, which is at I i the rate of par on the preferred and about 527 per share on the common .stock of lhe Pennsylvania Steel Com ; pany. This amount is to be paid in ; . 5 per cent. 20-year purchase money ! bonds of the Bethlehem Steel Cor : poration, secured by mortgage upon : ihe purchased property, with the reservation of bonds to retire under | lying issues and to provide for im- I provements and additions. " 'This acquisition is the outcome of the determination reached by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation some time ago to add to its output bessemer steel products and other general steel i lines, such as bridges, frogs and switches, girder rails, rail fittings, etc. ' " 'For a number of reasons it seems ! that It would be better to accomplish ; these enlargements by acquiring the plant of the Pennsylvania Steel Com- : pany rather than to await the erection of additional plants at Bethlehem. The Pennsylvania Steel Company plants i admirably supplement those al Beth- I lehem. " 'The Sparrows Point plant gives to ' Bethlehem a plant at the seaboard which It has long desired for the de velopment of its export trade. The purchase also brings favorable ore propertles both in this country and Cuba and also important coal deposits.' "The purchase price named above— ipproximately $31.900.000 —represents I $10" a share l'or the $20,587,500 of ! preferred stock of the Pennsylvania Steel Corttpany. slightly under $27 a share for the $10,750,000 of common ! stock and $8,500,000 to take up in ; debtedness of the Pennsylvania Steel ! Company to the Pennsylvania liail raoad Company existing in the form of i collateral trust bonds, and represent ( ing loans made for new construction j wor.k in recent years. The Pennsyl vania Railroad and Reading Railway holdings in Pensylvania Steel are paid for in the 5 per cent, purchase money bonds referred to in the above state ment. other shareholders. Including W. H. Donner. who had 38 per cent., will be paid In cash. In the nego ! nations of five months ago, in which I both the Bethlehem Steel Company. I on the one hand, and W. H. Donner ] figured In turn as a possible purchaser 'if Pennsylvania Railroad and Reading Railway holdings in the steel com pany. the Bethlehem interests made It plain that there was a limit to what they would pay to acquire the Penn sylvania Steel Company. The fact that the latter and its subsidiaries were quite heavily in debt for their Cuban I ore properties and for the improve- I ments of recent years at Sparrows Point and Steelton made it obvious that whoever acquired the Pennsyl vania Steel Company must reckon oil providing an additional basis of credit for any further expenditures the prop erties might require. This a strong company like the Bethlehem Steel Corporation was able to do.

One advice is that the French 1 government and the Schneider inter ests will not need the several hundred thousand tons they were expected to i take in addition to 100,000 tons or ! more recently placed. It is added that I | because of high prices here France has been providing more steel capacity i and is buying more steel from Eng ; land. "Late rail contracts include 7,000 tons for *he Monon and 10,800 tons for the Central of Georgia. The New York Municipal Railways will buy 13,000 tons and the Interborough 3,500 ; tons.
