DO YOU KNOW Do you know what constitutes the main difference between a pink cheek and a pale face? Do you know that the “organic” iron, as contained in foods near to nature is able to build and to maintain the hemoglobin (red coloring matter) of the blood, and that without a supply of this essenti al constituent in the daily food you will grow old before your time? Do you know that the amount of iron contained in your body, though very small (only about four thou sandths of one per cent of body sol ids), is, nevertheless, of the very highest importance in the vital econ omy. Do you know that organic chemis try teaches us and that biological (feeding) experiments corroboraite the fact, that these various chemical constituents (iron, lime, phosphorus, potassium, chlorine, iodine, etc.) in plant life are absolutely necessary to life, both in the higher and in the lower forms of life? Do you know that plants alone have the power to extract these life less constituents from soil, air, mois ture and sunlight, and to organize them into suitable food for man and beast? Do you know that “inorganic” iron, such as is found in the black smith shop, or in mineral waters, or in some of the medicines you take, is absolutely dead, and that you can not make living tissue out of dead food? Do you know that when these various elements are found in plant, life, that those elements are of the very opposite character? Do you know that when the seed of the plant is subjected to moisture and warmth and sunlight, that it soon begins to tprout, and that in so doing, the starch is transformed into a species of sugar which feeds the plantlet until the green leaf emerges into full light of day. Do you know, that at this stage in the growth of plants, the chloryphyll (green coloring matter in leaves) in some mysterious way, binds together the atoms which form the so-called organic molecules, and endow with the mysterious properties of living matter the lifeless particles of iron, lime, and other chemical constituents which enter into the composition and makeup of the human body. Do you realize that when these various inorganic minerals are thus transformed into the red apple, or theluscious grape, or the pungent grapefruit, or the crisp lettuce or cress, or in the wheat or com from which our “staff of life” is ma^e, that then we receive of these miner als in the “organic” form, in which condition such materials are fitted to rebuild an3 construct new red blood ■cells which gives luster to the cheek and pep to muscle, and marrow to the bones.
