WHY Men Eat Too Much.

Eating Is the greatest OF all our
standard amusements. A great mum.
Der Of people obviously eat a great
deal more than they need, and 1t is
entirely credible that a large proper
ton of the moderate eaters might
thrive as well and look as handsome
and work as hard and live as long on q
very much restricted diet. But would
the Joy Of life continue unimpaired for
them? The native-born might raise
plenty Of children If they could subsist
for eleven cents a day. but would they
think life worth living on eleven cents
worth of food a day? No, they would
not. That is one thing that ails them.
