been reasonably regular. have had oatmeal and cream for breakfast all most every day, usually the same or a similar dish for lunch, and almost with
 out exception my dinner has consisted of a club sandwich and a cup of choco- late. This has cost almost exactly $1, and I've not had the slightest desire for anything more. 1t is easy from a critical dietetfc standpoint to explain this requirement of my stomach; the amount, as said before, has been con- trolled by mental ,restraine-a knowl- edge of the exact requirements of the tissues, etc. For example,: Oatmeal is heat-producing-i has certain salts which should be given to a rested stom- ach only; it's fat and proteid, assisted by that of the cream, makes 8 perfect
 winter-morning food. Two ir1stalments of it are better than one. The club sandwich is a peculiarly well rounded dinner, with chocolate, which, as every one knows, is one of the most nourish- ing liquids. Indeed, I could wish for nothing better. The toast I have of whole wheat bread-my stomach never calls for ordinary wheat bread. Then there is vegetable acid and certain val uable salts in the lettuce and sliced tomato. The bacon has all the proper ties of meat and a sort of fat that is invaluable, and the chicken with the cream dressing adds to the palatable quality of the dish. I have the dress ing specially prepared; it is not rich, like ordinary mayonnaise dressing, and the toast is not buttered. T would not advise this diet for ev- l cry one. I do not claim that all people would get the required nourishment from it; but, on the other hand, see no reason why they could not, and I have certainly demonstrated that I can. The trouble with most people nowadays is that their appetite has never been disciplined, and merely runs riot with
 their body. They answer every whim of their desire, usually abuse every wish, and as a result have broken digestion in few years, no endurance, and no knowledge of what their stom- ach wants. You can't know your stom- ach without studying it and experi- jmenting on it. With study, care, and experiment any one can not only live on twenty cents day, but they will find that, with the proper amount of open air and eercise, they will have bet ter health and wonderful endurance.
 l HIS SYSTEM OF EATING.
 l "I am fifty-four years old, and have
 been working on this system the great
 CT part of my life. Not month ago
 took the strength test at Yale college
 gymnasium, just to see what I was
 good for. As the records will show, l
 beat out some very famous athletes,
 and I believe my endurance test was
 above them all. Some of this may be
 due to my natural power, but most of it, firmly believe, is due solely to what
 I eat and how and when eat it. My rule is this: Get acquainted with your
 stomach, find out what it wants-thar
 eat that in as small amount as you can
 Half the ills in the world are due,
 think, to unwise and extreme eating Just as to be skilful at game vol
 practice it. so to be wise eater vol
 practice eating. The day has passed
 when we can go along like donke,
 with our nose on the ground and ea 1 whatever strikes oru nose, and trust tt our stomach for the rest. Our life is 2 unnatural, and we nuts adjust our hah
