We EAT TOO MUCH.

Most people eat too much. Doctors
tell us so. We recognize the fact IN
their bills for services rendered. The
average man overloads his stomach and
impaIrs his activity and usefulness by
over-feeding. People of sedentary oc-
equations are particularly affected by
this habit and find themselves handi-
capped by an after dinner drowsiness
that renders them unable to get the
most and best work out Of themselves.
Travelling men almost invariably COM
plain of overeating. In fact most of us
eat gluttonously. That IS, we eat be-
cause we like the food more than with
a desire to be nourished. The mo
breakfast" fad and dozens of other ex-
pedients for curtailing excessive feed
ing and the cultivation of abstemious-
ignition of this general cault.
In the Popular Science Monthly
Professor r. II. Chittenden mentions a
discrepancy which he has observed be-
tween fact and theory regarding the
amount of food a man should take.
Volt, of Munich. and Atwater, of Mid
Gletown. Conn, for instance, have set
UP certain standards, which are fairly
close together. A person doing mod
crate work say these experts, should
take from Us to 125 grams of proteids
and enough fats and sugars to raise the
total food value of his rations to be-
tween 5000 and $500 large calories."
For .'heavy work" they recommend a
diet yielding from 1870 to $500 Galleries
daily. Careful experiments with a
laboratory assistant at Yale showed
that forty-five grams Of proteids, with
fat and sugars sufficient to develop only
1900 calories. would keep in splendid
condition. He maintained his weight
perfectly, and met physical tests in the
Yale gymnasium in surprising fash
ion. The comparison suggests the pos
sibility that the food allowances of
Volt and Atwater are wasteful in a
pSSdAisliy SSi3SC, Gilu lld!llpSE lH6 SyS-
tenn by involving unnecessary work in
digestion and elimination.
This test is not given by Professor
Chittenden as standard. Different
persons require different amounts of
food His article suggests that each
should observe his own needs and dis
cover for himself the amounts and
kinds of food necessary to keep him
self in the best physical and mental
condition. While the average man or
woman will pay but slight attention to
the professors suggestion and will go
on eating as much and of what he
pleases the growing death rate from
diseases of the digestive organs makes
his proposition one valuable and
worthy Of individual consideration.
Americans are a nation with "stomachs
and nerves." which trace directly to
what we eat and our habits of eating.

Why should dealers keep, and sell, the
