An English hygienist of repute says
thai a large proportion of the ills which
aff1ict men past the middle of life are
due to errors in diet, chiefly in the d.
rection of excess in quantity. He even
goes so far as to make the deliberate
assertion that more mischief in the
shape of lessened resisting powers.
actual disease and shortened life comes
to the inhabitants of Northern Europe
from their habits of eating than from
their abuse of alcoholic liquors.
And what is said of Englishmen ap-
plies with equal force to Americans.
We not only eat too much and too
often, but we eat food that is too nu-
tritious in proportion to its bulk; in
other words, we eat too much meat
Not only are govt and rheumatism
favored, or, as some eminent authori
ties contend, solely caused by too much
meat, but even certain tumors are
thought by many to be fastened in
their growth by the same means.
For the majority of city jewellers, es-
pecially brain-workers, three meat
meals day are too many; two are all
sufficient for most people, and many
are better off with meat only once in
the twenty-four hours. The other
meals should be slight, consisting of
bread, butter, cheese, milk, green veg
etables and fruit.
There is an unfounded prejudice
against nuts, which are regarded as in
digestible, but that is because they are
eaten at the wrong time. Both fruit
and nuts are excellent foods, but they
should be taken at the beginning of
breakfast or luncheon, instead of at the
end of the meal.
The dietary rules for lenten observ-
ance which the Catholic Church i'm
poses upon it's members are hygienical-
ly irreproachable, and it would be bet
ter for nearly all of us-unless the doc
tors be excepted-if these rules were
followed, not only by Catholics during
lent, but by everybody all the year
round.
