make up, will continue to be held by the grains, of which
there are numerous varieties to select from and which are
of inestimable value in their time and season as well as
climatic conditions. There are times when one should
have barley and at another time oats or rye, again we
should alternate with corn and rice, buckwheat and wheat
and so forth. Still the zvheat will continue to remain the
main product in any clime filling the bill of fare sustain-
ing perfect health.
The wheat, as well as all other grains, is an improve-
ment due to the ingenuity of man prompted by inspira-
tion. But altho most grains are homogeneous to this
planet in a wilder state, the wheat is a cross of grains per-
fected by the world-renowned agriculturist and horticul-
turist, Zarathushtra, who lived many thousands of years
before Plato, according to Greek chronology.
Upon thoro examination and analysis, it is found that
the wheat contains all the essential ingredients correspond-
ing to the elements of the human anatomy. The arrange-
ment of its various qualities is of such a nature that, be-
ginning at the glume as its life center and following layer
upon layer to its outer coating, every element conducive
to health is embodied, performing or assisting the organs
of the body to perform the diverse functions as com-
manded by Nature. In the glume we find the soluble
phosphates in quantities sufficient to quicken the ganglionic
system; next to it, in the inner halves, something likened
to the ovaries, and which constitutes the greater portion
of the kernel, are the starches and albumin, imparting heat
and energy; inclosing these ovaries are the nitrogenous
substances so necessary for the sustenance of the muscular
tissues ; encircling it all like unto a protecting layer of the
skin are seed coats containing potassium, sodium, calcium,
and sucn salts that assist to convert starch into sugar and
consequently quicken digestion and promote assimilation ;
the layer next to this contains such fixed phosphates, sul-
phur, silicon, chlorine and other minerals which sustain
the bones, teeth, sinews, etc. ; the outer skin has Iron,
magnesium and such minerals that are absolutely neces-
sary to promote peristaltic action, assuring proper flushing
of the system, giving zest and vigor to the allmentaries, a
6
condition absolutely necessary to sustain harmonic opera-
tions thruout the more deHcate system, assuring mental
brightness and sustaining man in his premise that wiU
keep him in tune with the Infinite.
Altho thru manifold processes, predigestive and of elec-
trification, all other grains may be improved to take the
place of wheat, the latter will continue to hold its own,
owing to the fact that no process can be devised to im-
prove upon what Nature has so fully determined in the
crystallizing of organized elements. Even as no waters
can be distilled to a point to equal fruits, so no preparing,
however scientific, can turn other grains to a point as
highly developed as wheat. Wheat for this reason has
become the ideal food of man for thousands of years and
has ever been the ambrosia, the manna of heaven, unto
the health of the nations.
