"How did you do itl" asked the reporter
"Eyery night just before / stepped into
BED ate as much Of stale bread crusts and
Roquefort cheese as l could comfortably
swallow, and jumped into bed. That sounds
strange in view Of the fact that we are told
that the worst thing we can do is 10 eat just
before retifing. Well. l confess, IL was
very disagrteable TO try 10 go to sleep with
a stomach ftll of food. The first few nights
couldn't get wink OF sleep, but grad
ually became accustomed TO the diet-in
fact, il not only agreed with me, but got

day put myself on the scales and fouad

lying down without going to sleep as often
as could do so during the day. l took no
exercise to speak OF whatever. All the
while kept my kidneys under close obser-
walton, and increased my consumption OF
liquid. This was, practically speaking, all
Idid."
The doctor is In his ordinary condition
well-nourished man, free from all signs OF
chronic disease, and trife above the aver
age weight.
Prof. Detweiler, German physician OF
high standing has sanitarium in Silesia
where he treats persons who are wasting
away with disease. He has been very sue
cessful and has accomplished many astound-
ing cures. He uses no medicine at all. His
system is to get his patients to eat as much
and as often as they can In plain words,
II is nothing more or less than a system a
forced feeding. At his sanitarium the ta-
bles are always set, and besides a number
of irregular luncheons each guest is obliged
to eat eight regular meals a day. II a per-
son suffers from an impaired appetite the
doctor soon corrects the difficulty and then
he begins TO pile in the food. No restric-
tions are placed upon the patients save that
they are not allowed to indulge in amuse-
ments that require mental or muscular ex-
ertion To make sure that the patients do
not bolt their food DIR. Detweiler generally
sits at the head Of the table and beats time
to each mouthful, just as a band-master
compels his musicians to hold q note. II is
an odd sight to watch the patients eat 10 O
musical time-beat, but it has telling effect,
and few people leave the sanitarium after a
soiourn of two months with less than twen-
ty pounds more flesh than they had when
they en- tered the institution. All the while
the patients are required to sleep in tents
in the open air, and are not allowed TO do
work of any kind. Even In cases where the
emaciatlon results from consumption or
chronic disease of long standing Dr. Det-
weller has succeeded in effecting cure.
OF course when disease is present II is
treated in the regular way.
The rule TO be observed by those persons
who feel that they ought 10 be trife
stouter is simply this: Avoid excitement
and keep your mind as much as possible in a
state of repose and free from worry. Peo-
pie Of nervous temperament should control
themselves. Learn TO sit quietly for a long
period and don't rush about consuming
muscular tissue by unnecessary move
ments.
After carefully observing this Injunction
for brief time, If there is a loss Of appe-
tite that does not depend on aggravated in
dieestion, it viii soon give place to keen en-
joyment for food. Eat all you can and as
often as you can, avoiding hot things, such
as hot bread and that which Is made from
the finer grades OF wheat. Stale bread
made of -four containing a portion OF the
chaff is far more nutritious than light,
freshly baked bread. The diet should con-
sist OF such articles OF food as are largely
composed OF starch and sugar and oil. Meat
in large quantities should DO avoided. All
things should be thoroughly cooked in order
that the raw material can undergo the
chemical change that otherwise would have
70 be done by the stomach. by al means
educate yourself TO enjoy malt liquids ike
beer, ale and porter, aud, lastly, sleep ss
long IS your time allows
These rules and such suggestions as you
wilooserve by watching yourself viii soon
add all the flesh 10 your frame that you
went The ma.n point after having gained
the required muscular tissue is 70 keep on
watching yourself
