Family & Food
Late last Thanksgiving afternoon Mrs. St. Louis Estes gave birth to a girl in the large house near Los Angeles which Cinemactor Noah Beery used to own. Four hours later Mrs. Estes answered her telephone. Next day she was up & around the house. The second day she took her new baby motoring. Four days later she began to feed the infant the juice of raw vegetables. Last week, dressed in trousers and zipper shirt, she sat down on an iron lawn chair and posed for a picture with her 72-year-old husband and the ten children she has borne during 15 years of marriage:
Suzanne Fanchon, 11
St. Louis II ("Sonny"), 10
St. Louis III ("Howie"), 8
Dixie Lou Medora, 8
St. Louis IV ("Fatty"), 7
St. Louis V ("Sugar"), 5
Natacha, 3
St. Louis VI ("General"), 2
Dimples, 1
Esther, 2 weeks
None of the children has ever eaten meat or cooked foods. Neither has their father for many and many a year, nor their mother since she met him 15 years ago.
She was a singer who had lost health and voice. Friends sent her to Dr. St. Louis Estes, "N. D., D. D. S., D. C., S. P., Ph. D.," a dentist who had turned food-faddist. She ate the raw foods he advised and practiced "brain breathing control." She got well, fell in love with him, accompanied him on food-faddist lecture tours, bore him children here & there, grew rich with him.
To tutor their children they employ a person called Prince de Vigni, "last surviving member of the royal family of Silesia." Tutor de Vigni teaches the children four hours daily, reports them brighter and quicker than other children. Summer and winter they wear only bathing suits.
Dr. Estes declares: "A man's ability to become a father is almost unlimited as regards age. So long as a man is in the right condition he can become a father. Even if all shot, he can be rebuilt through exercise and diet, if there is anything left to work on."
He gives himself as proof. In middle age he was crippled, given up to die. "Right food" cured him. Once he was bald. "Right food" grew his hair again. By changing food he twice changed the color of his hair. He keeps it silvery now because Mrs. Estes likes it that way.
