AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED
TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT

Tlic suggestion that hominy should
■lie more extensively consumed by the
jioor should bo accompanied by a
warning—The fats removed from
*>m In the manufacture of hominy
are not fats like lard, cottonseed oil,
lx-cf suet, tallow or lubricating grea.se
—They are peculiar fats, without
which even little mice will not grow
and children are enfeebled—Whole
corn, the cheapest food in America,
not only contains these peculiar fats,
but possesses a flavor no longer pres
ent in hominy.
The bulletin designed to popularize
(Standard grade head rice was follow
!ed by another designed to emphasize
the virtues of hominy.
"We are tired of technicalities, pro
; teins, carbohydrates, calories, units,
I and other terms that the people don't
■understand," said the hominy bulletin.
' "We are interested in good, cheap
' food. As long as we get such food it
doesn't matter much what we call it.
Hice and hominy are good foods, and
the people ought to eat more of
them."
Such statements as these are cal
culated, by their positiveness, to ac
complish the ends for which they are
littered. '
In language free from technicalities
II lie plain truth about these denatured
foods, head rice and hominy is here
wet down so that people may under
stand just why they are not cheap
foods.
Hominy is made by steeping corn
in a solution of sulphurous acid or
lye. This soaking process gets rid of
the minerals and fats of the corn
Without these minerals and fats no
animal can live.
The minerals are not ordinary min
! erals such as can be purchased in a
I'drug store. They cannot be purchased
!in a drug store. They are to be ob
tained only from the farm; never
' l'rom the pharmacy.
Without them there is no lime, for
the tissues, no iron for the blood, and
no phosphorus for the muscles.
Without them the chemical juices
or fluids which keep our insldes at
work, our liver, lungs. kidneys, and
other glands going in the right direc
-1 tion, become abnormal, and we de
velop many distempers, such as
itnemia.
Anybody who looks at a pale house
, wife, a pale shop girl, or a pale child

Anybody knows what a run-down
physical condition means. The doctor
might call such a condition neuritis,

it represented the second, third or
fourth class of malnutrition, accord
ing to the scale established by the
Carnegie Trust Company in Dun
fermline, Scotland.
He might speak of secondary ane
mia, of deficiency of red corpuscles,
or ho just might say that the person
who has suffered a loss of these min
erals is "all knocked out" or partly
knocked out.
In speaking of a child he might say
that its growth has been impaired and
its chances of developing into a
healthy man or woman cut down to
one in ten.
In speaking of a woman he might
say she is unfit for motherhood.
In speaking of a man he might say
he ought to go to a sanatorium to
build up, for he certainly cannot hold
down this job in such a "worn-out"
physical condition.
The fats that are removed in the
making of hominy by the soaking,
steeping or leaching process are not
fats like lard, cotton seed oil, beef
suet, tallow, lubricating grease or
other fats of their kind. They are
peculiar fats, specially constructed by
Mother Nature, and without them
even little mice will not grow and
children are enfeebled.
Hominy contains none of these
minerals and none of these fats. They
stay in the steep water. Nothing
comes out of that water In the form
of hominy l-ut starch and a trace of
gluten.
The Wicks Investigating committee
reported Wednesday. Feb. 28, 1917,
that the farmers of the United States
were being defrauded to the extent
of millions of dollars a year, because
unscrupulous manufacturers wore
keeping these priceless elements of
food out of the sacks of stuff con
sumed by farmers' cows, and that the
health of tho cows suffered accord
ingly.
Every state in the Union has on its
statute books a food law w'hich reads
as follows: "Food shall be deemed
adulterated if any valuable constitu
ent of the article has been wholly or
in part abstracted."
Polished rice and hominy nre both
adulterated. Under the laws of the
United States they have been adulter
ated for many years. But the laws of
the United States in these matters are
not enforced.
All chemists know that valuable
constituents of natural brown rice and
whole corn are abstracted in the mak
ing of head rice and hominy. They
are no longer present in these so
called foodstuffs. The human animal
is robbed of them.
The United States Public Health
Service just ten months ago warned
the 'people of the United States of the
perils involved in their consumption
of highly milled and denatured grains
such as polished rice and hominy.
Dr. Carl Voegtlin, Dr. M. C. Sulli
van, and Dr. C. M. Myers signed tho
government's bulletin, which recorded
the results of many analyses of de
natured wheat, rice and corn made in
the Bureau of Chemistry of the De
partment of Agriculture and at the
Hygienic Laboratory, showing these
foods to be robbed of many essential
elements necessary to the health of
the body.
They have started pellagra in the
south and they can bring it north.
The larger the quantity of such
foods we consume the nearer we ap
proach the danger line. The under
nourished children of the United
States (144,000 in New York City
alone) have passed across that line.
Many of them will- never return.
U. S. WILL DEFEA T
GERMANY,
WHO PREDICTED
RUSS REVOL
New York, March 30.—That the
Russian revolution was bound to occur
as the result of dissatisfaction with de
feat of the Romanoffs and their mili
tary policy by the German successes
on the eastern front was predicted a
year and a half ago by Snell Smith, a
newspaper man turned prophet, ac
cording to a book just published by
Robert J. Shores.
In this work, "The Destiny of the
United States," it is also stated that
the German empire is now doing its
work in the world and is ruthless only
because of vitality within it, due in
turn to natural processes of history.
It then goes on to prohpesy that Ger
many will ultimately be defeated by
the United States. Its author, long a
Washington correspondent, makes a
bold attempt to unravel the Book of
Daniel, about which tons of material
.have been written during the last
twenty centuries.
Taking one of the predictions of the
Israclitisli prophet of Babylon, who is
declared to be a genuine character,
the book interpolates explanations in
parentheses as follows: "1 saw in my
vision by night, and behold the four
winds of heaven blew fiercely on the
great (Mediterranean) sea. And four
great beasts (of Europe) came up
from the sea, differing one from an
other. The first (Rome) was like a
Hon (In power) and had eagle's wings
(to spread out over the land): I looked
till its wings were plucked out, and it
was lifted up from the earth (in
deprivation of its dominion) and was
placed upon its feet as a man (in
strength), and a human heart (to
realize that it must meet its end like
all mankind) was given to it. And be
hold there was another, a second beast
(tho Empire of the West), like a bear
(of the northern climate), and on one
(western) side (of Europe) was it
placed, with three ribs (Charlemagne,
Charles V, Napoleon) in its mouth (to
hold) between its (conquering) teeth:
and thus they said, 'Arise, eat much
(territorial) tiesh.' After this I looked
and, 10, thero was another (Britain),
like a leopard (with many spots of
territory dotted over the face of the
earth); and it had four wings (British
North America, Australia, South Africa
and India) of a bird (that flew far)
on (or at) its back; the beast had also
four heads (England, Scotland, Ire
land, Wales); and dominion (to the
extent of a fourth of the globe) was
given unto it. After this I looked in
the night visions, and behold there
was a fourth beast (Germany), dread
ful and terrible and strong exceed
ingly; and it had great iron teeth
(strong armies and a navy); it de
voured (territory) and ground up
(rights and institutions), and what
was left it (ruthlessly) stamped with
its feet; and it Was different (in the
composition of the states of its king
dom) from all the beasts that were be
fore it; and it had ten horns (or lungs,
as follows: Frederick 111, Frederick
William I, Frederick the Great, Fred
erick William ll,Frederick William 111,
Frederick William IV. William I, Fred
erick 111, William II and Frederick
William V, now crown prince). I
looked carefully at the horns, and,
behold, another little horn (Prussia)
came up between them, and three of
the first horns (Denmark, Austria,
France) were plucked up by the roots
and deefated before the same; and
behold there were eyes like the eyes
of a man in this horn (earthly, ma
terialistic and seeking dominion), with
a mouth speaking presumptious things
(of the divine right of monarchy and
the power of blood and Iron). 1 was
looking until chairs (for presidents)
were set down (In preparation) and
an (individual) Ancient of days (who
had lived and wrought for many cen
turies and is to be the Messiah) seated
himself (in the presidency of the
United States), whose garment was
white as snow (in spiritual light), and
the hair of whose head was like clean
wool (in inspiration); his chair was
like flames of fire (In Its successful
warfare, and his wheels like fire that
burnt (and left lands In ruins); a
stream of fire (In war) Issued and
came forth from him (at his com
mand) ; thousands times thousands
ministered to him (in assistance), and
myriad times myriads stood before
him (as soldiers); tliey sat down to
hold judgment (of the history and
condition of men) and the books (of
the Old Testament) were opened (in
explanation). I looked then because
of the presumptuous words which the
(Prussian) kingly horn had spoken—l
looked till the (German) beast was
slain and its body destroyed, and given
over to the burning fire (of the con
queror). But concerning tho rest of

MILITARY TACTICS IX MUD
Sand table work is acknowledged
to bo one of the most important
means of Instruction in military
science.
The sand tables used are ten feet
long, four feet wide J.nd three and I
one-half feet high to top of box, and
the box is eight inches deep. Sand is
put in the box to a depth of six
inches. It is well watered with an
ordinary watering can.
Two sets of implements are used.
One is known as the terrain set. The
fortification set contains eight gabions
(round, bottomless baskets, filled with
earth), four fascines (bundles of
sticks bound together), four hurdles,
twenty bags for sand, one box of
blocks, representing sod, and one
bundle abatis (obstacle composed of
felled trees). Besides these, accord
ing to the Popular Science Monthly,
there are trench models and material
to represent hills, woods, streams,
railroads, bridges, concrete, king
post, queen post, pontoon, railroad
trestle, one train, railroad, wator
tank and about fifty buildings, as well
as glass for representing bodies of
water. Thin set teaches map-reading
and contours, and with It It is pos
sible to do work In outposts, scout
ing and other problems in minor tac
tics, far more satisfactorily than on
the map.
the beasts, they had their dominion
(of empire) taken away; yet a longer
duration of life (as kingdom's) was
given unto them until the time and
period (of the end of the dispensation
in the Feleration of the World). 1
looked in the nightly visions and, be
hold, with the clouds of heaven (in
spiritual inspiration) came one like the
son of man (in appearance, though
inspired) and he attained as far as the
Ancient of days (in the completion ot
his work) and they brought him near
before him. And there were given
him dominion and government and
dignity (as president of the entire
earth), and ail peoples, nations and
languages had to serve him: his do
minion which shall not pass away, and
his kingdom is ono which shall never
be destroyed."
Daniel relates that after this his
spirit was deeply shaken within him
and his head troubled him! He con
tinues: "I came near unto one of
those that stood by and asked him
something concerning all this: and he
spoke to me and made known to me
the interpretation of the things.
'These great beasts, of which there are
four, are four kings wlioare to arise
on the earth. But the saints of the
Most High (who are liis servants) will
obtain the kingdom, and possess the
kingdom (in ruling over it) to eter
nity, even to all eternity.' Then I de
sired what is certain concerning the
fourth beast, which was different from
all these others, exceedingly dreadful,
whose (armed) teeth were of iron,
and whose nails (munitions) were of
copper (metal), which devoured,
ground up and stamped with Its feet
what was left (of the beasts or king
doms that had gone before); and con
cerning the ton hornr (kings) which
were in its head (of tho state) and
concerning the other (German Em
pire) which came up and before which
three fell down—even concerning that
horn which had eyes and a mouth
speaking presumptuous things and
whose appearance was greater than its
companions. I had seen how the same
horn had made war with the saints
(of liberty and righteousness) and pre
vailed against them (in the present
war); until the Ancient df davs came
and procured justice unto the saints of
the Most High, an the time came and
'he saints took possession of the king
dom. Thus said he, 'The fourth beast
signifleth that a fourth kingdom (the
German Empire) will be upon the
earth which is to be different from' all
other kingdoms, and will devour all
the earth and will tread it down and
grind it up. And the ten horns out of
this kingdom signify that ten kings
will arise; and another will arise after
them (the Empire) and he will be
different from the first (Prussia) and
three kings (of Russia, England and
Italy) will he bring low. And ho will
speak words (of materialism) against
the Most High, and the spiritual saints
of tho Most High will he oppress, and
think to change the festivals and law
of religion (as Haeckel); and they will
be given up unto his hand until a time
(a thousand) and times (another
thousand) and half a time (half a
thousand, or 2500 years from G2 B. C.
when the chapter is computed to have
been written until 1938 A. D.). And
they win sit down to hold judgment,
and they will take away his (the then
German emperor's) dominion, to de
stroy and to annihilate It unto the end.
And the kingdom and the dominion
and the power over the kingdoms un
der the whole heaven will bo given to
the Saints of the Most High, whose
kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and all governments are to worship
and obey him (the Messiah)."
