From the New York Herald: "A
thoroughly healthy person is never
hungry" Thus says Dr. William Henry
Porter Of strathmore. who Is a recog-
nized authority on dieietics. Up to
this date a huge appetite has almost
invariably been considered as evidence
Of good physical condition. Many
persons will realize. after weighing the
doctors remark. that their great desire
for food at certain times Is a warning
that all is not well with them. DR..
Porter supports his startling statement
by some interestiAg explanatory facts.
The healthy person does not slight his
meals. II must be understood. but does
ample justice 10 them. Yet not until
he tastes the food before him. says DR..
Porter, does he realize the need OF II.
He could 20 about and forget his meal
times but for the force Of circumstanc-
es. The pangs OF hunger are felt "a
an effect OF imperfect digestion.
DR.. Porter gives some valuable In
formation on the question which and
OF what kind shall be the principal
Woodworking. noon or night. In
speaking OF this he said:
AS In the running OF an engine. the
most intensive consumption Of fuel
must be just prior 10 and IN accord
ance with the amount Of work TO be
performed: so. In man. the time for
taking. and the quantity and quality
OF the meal ingested. or the determine

gin his daily labors between and ia

necessltates the taking Of a good and
liberal breakfast az an early hour be-
fore beginning active work. especially
so N the last meal Of the day previous
has been a light one AZ 6 o'clock. as Is
the common habit Of this class. Habits
Of this kind naturally call for the heav-
lest meal. which also may be called the
principal meal. at noon. or near that
hour.
"on the other hand. II the custom IL
10 rise between G and in the morning
and the largest amount OF work is per-
formed between In the morning and
the succeeding midnight. an entirely
different arrangement Of the meals
must be followed. In this class light
breakfast Is In order az about In the
morning; a stronger, more substantial
meal al ! o'clock in the afternoon and
the heaviest and what Justly deserves
to be called the principal meal should
be taken from to in the evening. be-
cause this Is more nearly In the mid
die OF the working hours. When the
labors are continued until midnight
and the hour Of resting Is after this
time a light meal should be taken at
II o'clock.
"In any OF the instances cited. II the
food-stnffs taken have been easy Of d.

several hours sleep and abstinence

ioodstufs taken require considerable
time for their digestion and are slowly
absorbed and oxldized. the heatpro
ducing supply may not be exhausted
completely during a somewhat pro-
longed abstinence from food. or during
the hours usually spent for sleeping. "
