why Men Eat Too Much.

Eating is the greatest OF all OUT
standard amusements. A great NUN.
Der of people obviously eat a great
deal more than they need, and it is en-
urely credible that a large proportion
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 sub
sist for II cents a day, but would the!
think life was worth living On II cents
worth of food a day? No. thH
wouldn't. That is enc thing that ais
them.-Harper's.
