There are Rockefellers ed with each other, but they don’t have to speak when they meet, any more than do those representatives of different castes in more polite society, It is when some Arnold Rothstein is “taken for a ride” that eyes are rubbed and the good folk of a great city look about them and ask, in- credulously, “Can such things be?” Rothstein was, insofar as Manhat- tan went, king of the gamblers. And because he was the biggest of them all he cannot be accepted as typical. He must _be categoriéd as an indi- vidual. For, in the underworld as elsewhere, the distinctive personal- ities reach the peaks, or the depths if you prefer. hen one considers that some such sum as $285,000 dropped in a stud game was mentioned as a Pos- sible cause of the Rothstein shoot- ing, eens nips in a few eve- nings of play can be properly appre- ciated.

Through the course of these many hundreds of gener- +}ations the digestive system of man has undoubtedly accustomed itself to cooked foods. In fact, most civilized live entirely upon raw foods, notice Pronounced gastric disturbances be- cause of the increased difficulty in digesting vegetable foods not prev- iously softened or sterilized by heat. Some foods, such as string beans, Peas, wheat, artichokes and brussels sprouts, may be eaten raw, but their flavor and digestibility are improved by cooking. : The purpose of cooking food is not only to increase its digestibility and improve its flavor, but to kill dan- gerous organisms, which can be de- stroyed even at’as low a temper- ature as 150 degrees Fahr.,— a tem- perature far below the boiling point. It is unfortunate that the entire development of the art of cookery in the past has bexr more influenced by flavor than by nutritional value. Many of the complicated modern human beings, upon attempting to | Heat applied to dry starchy food will convert into a soluble form of dextrin, and when applied to wet starch causes it to swell and burst | Dr. ee! will gladly pth perso! juestions on heal and ‘diet, arent to him. e of the Tribune.

Fats are less affected by heat than j the proteins and starches, but it is true that when they are subjected to lan excessively high degree of tem- perature, some portions of fatty | acids are liberated which make them | more irritating to the stomach than | cold or uncooked fats. dishes are indigestible abominations. Fortunately, many chefs are now making a study of dietetics, and a few dietitians are making a study | of the art of cookery so that some day we may look forward to res- taurant food which is not only appe- | An untrained cook can spoil per- | fectly wholesome food and render it | either valueless or actually harmful by improper preparation, whereas, a scientifically trained chef increases the nutritive elements of almost every food by breaking up the touch- er particles with heat and dissolving the cellular portions so that they can be more ‘readily acted upon by the chemicals within the digestive tract. The evils of bad cooking are, far- reaching and may lead to disease, a craving for drink and stimulants, in- digestion, headaches, and mental melancholia which may so interfere vith the life and personality of an individual as to result in financial failure and early death. It is not surprising then that the victims of Poor cooking turn to stimulants, such as alcohol, coffee, tobacco, drink and candy. Under-nourished people are over fed, but are still starving for the right foods out of which they can secure the proper elements to build and repair their bodily tissues. Crav- ing something else, their appetites try to secure satisfaction by the use of sweets. This is particularly true of the earnest student of dietetics who in his experimental years may attempt to live on an exclusive un- cooked diet. The craving for sweets seems to be always present and is never satisfied, and in place of delib- | erately choosing a good steak he will ice cream, candy and soda drinks, To cook properly it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the effects of heat on various foods. For instance, vegetable and animal pro- teins are coagulated at a temper- ature of 178 degrees Fahr., far below the boiling point, which is 212 de- grees Fahr. When a piece of meat is heated far above this point it is hardened and shriveled and its diges- | tibility proportionately lessened. tizing but wholesome as well. | invariably fill up between meals on | hi: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Pot-Beliied . Question: Mrs, G. F. P. writes: “My baby took ultra-violet ray treat- ments all last winter for rickets and seem to be cured, but her abdomen extends out and she is sort of “pot- bellied.” Should a support be worn to correct this, and if so what kind? She also has flat feet. How can tat be cured? She is 18 months old.” Answer: Your child should have a diet of pure Holstein milk, each feeding to be preceded by a plenti- ful amount of orange juice. In six months or so some non-starchy vege- tables, such as spinach and carrots, should be added to the diet. Keep up the ultra-violet treatments oc- casionally but you must depend upon correct dieting for a perma- nent cure. An abdominal support will not help any, but the abdominal distention can be corrected when your child is old enough to take the proper exercises. This is also true about the flat feet. Send your full name and address on a_ large stamped envelope, and I will send You special articles on developing a flat abdomen, and also for curing fallen arches, Orange Juice as Blood Purifier Question: R. B. asks: “Is orange juice good for the blood?’ Answer: An exclusive’ orange juice fast is a valuable blood puri- fier. Oranges are best used by them- selves rather than with other foods. Twitching of Eyelids Question: C. A. S. writes: “Be kind enough to advise what you would recommend for spasm of the eyelids. Have had this for over a year, but the last few months it as shown a marked improvement, in fact, disappeared almost entirely. but now seems to be about as bad as when it started.” Answer: First, go to an opto- metrist and wear glasses if he ad- vises you to. If the fault is not with eye strain, it is caused by nervousness and enervation which can be cured through strict agher- ence to the hygienic rules for health- ful living which I recommend in this column each day. Manhattan, Nick the Greek is likely | to live the longest and have the fewest enemies. The reason is that he generally loses. doesn’t play steadily. He may make a profession of gambling, but he flits in and out. He may drop a for- tune, but unlike the other profes- sional gamblers of Broadway, he doesn’t hang around to get it back in one way or another. He doesn’t try to fix races, or prizefights, or engage in all the various and sundry by-products of the gambling racket. He wins quickly or he loses quickly. In any event he’s here today and gone to- morrow. If he loses, he disappeats into the west or middle-west. He stays away for many months. And when he comes back he has big money. No one ever has learned how or where he gets it. No one has asked. Nick is a real “sport.” He wins and loses like a gentleman. He never squawks, and he always Eays-up. a Rothstein was, of course, a “lone wolf.” Qne has tobe to become biggest man in anything. A gam- bler who runs nothing into millions has to play a lone game and hit out for himself. He has to have the “house percentage” and he. has to be “in the know” when the big wag- ers are on, whether it be a fight or arace. He has to invest his owe as Rothstein did—tying it up in apartments and clubs and businesses. And he has to, some day before he is very old, get ready for “the wor —for no man can win millions with- out leaving a trail of foes. GILBERT SWAN, (Copyright, 1928, NEA Service, Inc.) {BARBS eo.
