Chinese Food is Universally Recognized as Ranking 

 Among the Best on Earth 



In the dawn of Chinese civilization, its tastes in food and in cook- 

 ing- were originally classified under and based upon the five princi- 

 pal elements of Nature: viz, Mineral, Veg-etation, Water, Fire and 

 Earth. 



The genuine methods of the Ancient Chinese are adhered to by 

 the cooks in the New Shanghai Cafe in accordance with the instruc- 

 tions of Fong* Wan, the most eminent herbalist in America. Its 

 divisions of food and taste are as follows: 



1. Food that tastes bitter belongs to the Mineral Element, leading towards 

 the lungs. 



2. Food that tastes sour, like vinegar or greens, belongs to the Vegetation 

 Element and attracts the action of the Liver and Gall. 



3. Foods that taste salty belong 'to the Water Element and have an influence 

 upon the Kidneys. 



4. Foods that taste hot, such as those containing liquor, belong to the Fire 

 Element. They rush to the head and influence the action of the Heart. 



5. Food that tastes sweet belongs to the Earth Element. It is craved by the 

 Stomach and by the Spleen. 



Equalization in the combination of foods is beneficial to all parts of the 

 human body. 



The New Shanghai Cafe, 425 - 10th Street, Oakland, serves both 

 American and Chinese Foods. It is noted for its cleanliness, its 

 quiet, and its truly Oriental atmosphere. Its patrons are mainly 

 family parties and merchants who lunch there.
