More Than
Pleasant Taste
should be demanded in a table beverage.
Coffee —for example—may possess a pleasing
flavour for some, but it contains a most harmful ele
ment —caffeine, a subtle, cumulative drug, the con
tinued use of which frequently leads to various dis
eases of the kidneys, liver and other vital organs, and
sometimes to premature old age. Among the symp
toms of caffeine poisoning are headache, nervous
ness, biliousness, sleeplessness, heart-flutter, "brain
fag," and so on.
Any coffee drinker who is ailing had better quit
the coffee —tea also—and use
INSTANT POSTUM
the delicious cereal beverage.
Postum is made of entire wheat roasted with a
small portion of wholesome molasses. Tastes much
like mild Java coffee, but contains not a particle of
M coffee, or caffeine or any other harmful substance.
Just the goodness of the grain.
Postum comes in two forms: The original Postum
Cereal—must be boiled; Instant Postum—soluble—is made
in the cup with hot water, instantly. Equal in delicious
flavour, and the cost is about the same per cup.
Thousands are benefitting by a change to
Postum and
"There's a Reason"
Sold by Grocers everywhere.
Send a 2c stamp for 5-cup sample of Instant Postum to

FOODS
THEY BUILD OR DESTROY
Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the
Things You Eat.
(Copyright. 1916, by Alfred W. McCann.)
11 1
CHAPTKR 28
Children will suffer and prospective j
mothers decline ns long as I'ooil indus
tries continue to Impoverish the chief
sources of their food supply by rcmov- j
iiur from such food the mineral ele
ments natural to it.
In every kitchen, restaurant, hotel, i
boardinghouse, hospital, orphan asy- |
lum and commissary food, through is- !
norant methods of cookery, is not only j
robbed of its calcium but it is also
robbed of many of its other mineral '
salts and colloids. Before food reaches
the kitchen the manufacturer robs it I
of a large percentage of these price- I
less mineral elements.
When we study the records of the 1
defective teeth of school children, a 1
tabulation the gravity of which is |
alarming, we face only the surface
symptoms of ravages which, unseen ]
and unsuspected, are going on within |
the body.
Dr. James R. Mitchell, while lec
turer in chemistry at Fort Worth
University Medical College, supple
mented the work of other investiga
tors by a study which showed 86 per
cent, of the school children of Louis
ville were suffering from defective
teeth, in spite of the fact that they
live in the "limestone" State.
It has been said that Kentucky is a
veritable quarry of calcium. Yet, in 1
the presence of millions of tons of
bone and tooth-building material the i
children of this calcium kingdom had
so much difficulty in finding suffi
cient calcium for their needs that 86
per cent, of them, in the calcium capi
tal itself, manifested the most con
spicuous symptoms of calcium starva
tion.
With a zeal born of indignation, and
therefore, because of its ordor, con
sidered in high places ns unethical,
Dr. Mitchell pointed out how den
tists prescribe tooth washes and *
tooth pastes; how they advocate oral i
hygiene; how they till cavities and ;
fit bridges, while all the time the
primary cause of tooth destruction re- >
mains ignored.
We know now positively that the
vital processes of the body cannot be
carried on without calcium and we
also know with equal positlveness that
if there is a deficiency of calcium salts
in the food the body will actually
tear down its own structure in order
to obtain the calcium necessary to
maintain the integrity of its internal
secretions.
This truth refers not alone to cal
cium but to all the other food min
erals upon which the health of the
body depends.
In the cast of a calcium dellciency
| in the food the body goes to the only
i available source of calcium supply,
the lime of the teeth and bones. That
! lime is gradually consumed until,
1 weakening the structure of the teeth,
S it finally leaves but a shell of fluo-
I ride enamel over a honey-combed
I structure.
In Ireland, where calcium deficiency
! is conspicuous, there is an old saying !
j among the peasantry. "With every j
child goes a tooth,"* runs this adage, j
j The fact that maternity is so fre-
J quently followed by tooth troubles, a
| result of the demand of the unborn
! upon the mother's tissue for bone-
I building calcium, has been noted by
i many observers and probably ac
! counts for the quotation credited to
j the Irish women.
Where calcium is abstracted from
| the tootli under-structure, the enamel
sooner or later cracks or breaks under
pressure, thereby opening an avenue
for the entrance of putrefactive bac
teria, which begin the work of true
decay. The ruin is really accom
plished long before any evidence of
decay is disclosed.
Sugar and fruit acids have no effect
on the enamel of normal teeth. Sound
teeth can be Immersed in a solution
of sugar or fruit acids for months and
suffer no erosion. The experiments of
j E. Howard Hunison and others have
; proved this.
Sugar does not act directly on the
I teeth at all and the dentist .treats
the symptom, not the cause, of bone 1
destruction when he plugs up cavi- j
ties and fits bridges. • j
This observation Is not intended to j
minimize in any manner the impor- |
tance of skilful dental treatment, keen
appreciation of whi«ii is not wanting
by the writer.
Sugar and calcium possess a re
markable affinity for each other.
When refined sugar or glucose, both
of which are mineral free and, there
fore, like distilled water mineral
hungry, are consumed In generous
I quantities there is reason to believe
they attack the soluble calcium of the
tissues.
The tissues retaliate in turn by sap
ping the calcium of the blood. The
blood, which demands a minimum |
calcium content, with never relaxing
energy steals calcium from the teeth
and bones. The experiments of Volt
and others prove this.
Druggists know how wonderfully
calcium combines with sugar. Ac
cordingly they manufacture what la
known as syrup of lime. One thou
sand parts of water will take up ap
proximately one part of calcium.
When sugar is added to the water it

alike.
Butcher shops grind the bones of j
the ox, sheep, and hog into what they
call "chicken bone." It has been noted
by poultry and egg producers that
If hens are not fed a plentiful supply
of calcium in the form of such
"chicken bones" or in the form of
cracked oyster shells or other similar
calcium food, they will lay soft
shelled eggs for a while, then cease to
lay eggs of any kind.

The lioness of the circus cage fed

Caged mice fed with distilled water

We are not yet ready to abandor

' to ask these questions:
What were the effects of the re
moval of the calcium from the fooc
consumed by the 1,500,000 childrer
under ten years of age who died In th«
tJnlted States during the last foui
years ?
