How Much Should We Eat /?

How. asks DR.. Nichols in The
Food Reform Magazine. are we to get
at the proper quantity OF food? Ami
mails living IN q state of nature do
over-eat themselves. They stop eat.
ing when they have got enough.
There are no prize cattle on the
prairies. 1t is the stalled OK, and the
pig in his pen, deprived of exercise.
that can be fattened into diseased
obesity. Horses escape this process,
because men do not to any great ex-
tent knowingly devour them. The
hunter and racer are not overt fed. All
animals expected to do their work are
carefully FED as 70 quslity and guam
tity. If human beings were fed as
wisely, they would be as healthy.
There are some good rules for feed.
ing as to quantity. When our food is
simple and natural in kind and quail.
ity and mode of preparation. there is
little danger of eating too much.
There is little danger, for example, of
eating too many grapes, apples, pears
or bananas. Salt, sugar, spices and
luxurious cookery tempt to excess.
With men, as with animals, natural
diet is self limiting, and we are dis
posed to stop when we have got
enough. The more artificial the food.
a al inr Inv A.
feast, the more the liability to overload
the stOm ach, OYertask the digestive
power, and overweight the forces of
life. Simplicity of food is condition
of health, and promotes longevity.
The quantity of food which enables q
man to DO his daily work without loss
OF weight is precisely what he re.
quires. He supplies the daily wastes
no more and no less. This quantity
may vary q little with each individ-
ual, but everyone can easily ascertain
his own measure of require ent by
reducing the quantity OF daily food
until he finds balance of force and
weight. 1t is my opinion that the
average quantity OF water-free aliment
required, say by business and literary
men, is twelve ounces. Men of great
muscular activity may require sixteen
to twenty ounces. have found my
self in very good condition for seden.
tary work on eight or ten ounces.
When anyone is in good condition for
his work and keeps his normal weight,
he has food enough. DR.. Nicholls's
advice is, find this quantity by expert
ment, and then habitually keep to it.

expended in the purchase of boxes for

Beautiful light from heaven above,
Beautiful emblem of Gods own love-
Beautiful sunset crimson and gold,
Soft, dim twilight, gray and cold
Night puts on her mantle of gray.
Beautiful daylight passes away.
Beautiful moonlight overhead,
Beautiful stars their soft light shed:
Breathe from their spaugled home above,
Beautiful thoughts OF Gods changeless love-
beautiful rest rom day of care,
Beautiful hour of sacred prayer;
Beautiful thoughts win our last ones be,
