TEE FAULT OF OVER-EATING,
Too Great indulgence May Provo Disss
trous to the Organism.

Too Great indulgence May Prove Disss-
trous to the Organism.
Youths Companion.l ..
1t is perhaps true that most Americans
eat too much. The person who eats much,
yet is hungry and grows thin, is not suffer-
ing from lack of food, but from lack of
power to digest the food taken into the
stomach, or from an abnormally rapid tis-
sue waste, and should consult his physician.
Everyone puts into his stomach more food
than is digested by it, but in many cases a
great deal of the material really digested
does not do its full share of vitalizing work
We live by the oxidation of food. Food,
whatever its chemical nature-if it is food
in the true sense-is capable of being
changed into more oxidized material. This
chemical change must go on in a more or
less active way, or death ensues, since the
o1idizing of food is necessary for the life of
the individual cells, whose aggregation con-
stitutes the whole of our complicated struc-
tures
Now if more material is supplied to the
system than it can use, or, in other words,
more than it can combine with oxygen,
much of the supply must pass out of the
body in state not fully exhausted of its
yitalizing power; and it is highly probable
that these unoxidized products are the
causes, direct or indirect, of many troubles
of a somewhat obscure nature, to which we
have applied the names OF rheumatism, sout,
lith@mia, and the like.
Exercise, by promoting oxidation, lessons
the dangers of over-eating. The habit Of
rapid eating, especially when habitual over
eating is INDUCED in, results in an inability
to digest the amount of food necessary to
keep in active condition the various
functions of the body.

At. Atlantic Highlands I encountered the
theatrical colony. There were many foot
light favorites whom had seen before, but
I never should have known them. As
they're almost entirely stage people, they
don't think it worth while to dress up any.
1t is necessary-as have often told my
wife-for me to meet theatrical people, be-
cause I often want to write things about
them. 1t was thus-as 1 atterward e1-

Irma Kickoffski, whose real name is Finne-
gan. She danced at the southeast corner
of the Casino ballet.
