There are bakers dozen of students at Yale whom
the other students facetioueiy nickname the Starvation
army. These men, who United States regulars take
it in good part, for they declare that they have soft
time with little nothing do but to attend their
diet exercises.
These exercises conducted by of the professors
consists taking just little each day will sus-
tain the body comfortably without to the heavy
fare of the ordinary man. while careful watch Of the
results is kept by the instructor Prof Chittenden.
One of the starvation thirteen, Horace Fletcher has
been living for long time entirely milk maple sugar
and prepared kind Of cereal OF this he has eaten all
he desires It transpres that in spite Of the demand for
heavy exercise made him he has kept up his weight
lost all desire for the heavier kinds Of food.
The diet taken by Fisher proved entirely sufficient for
weighing 165 pounds To find out whether he
could keep his weight such diet he subjected to
course of training in the Yale gymnasium which would
have tried the endurance Of the toughest blacksmith
shipwright
The Yale boys may laugh at these experiments. but
at least poor students who obliged struggle through
college light and what would call insufficient diet
will find nothing laugh at Economy in food is just
much virtue anything else net carried far.
