EAT HALF TO ONE-THIRD
LESS AND BE HEALTHIER

The average man eats from two to
three times "a much food as he needs
to keep him in perfect physical health
ana vigor. If he will divide an ordin-
airy meal into three meals he will be
healthier and never have a Crouch"
Such j. the contention Of Prof. Rus
sell II. Chittenden, director of the
Sheffield Scientific school of Yale, who
recently has conducted Il series of eX-
periments to determine if the average
human being i not eating too much.
Prof. Chittenden read a paper be
fore the National Academy of Science
at Washington. describing the results
of his experiments. He also calls at
tention to his own good health and
vigor. and declared he had been expert
menting on himself by cutting down
the amount of his own food. The pro-
feS>or >aid three classes of men were
experimental on-severaI professors
at the school. several students. and n
squad of United States soldiers.
There was a gradual reduction of
meat and other proteid foods. with
little increase in starch and other
foods i'll nearly all the tests. No fixed
regimen was required in any case. the
endeavor being to satisfy the appetite
of each subject. In only one case was
meat entirely eliminated from the
diet.
At the end of the experiments.
which lasted from six months until
nearly year. and were concluded
only few days ago. the entire lot of
men who had been Prof. Chittenden's
subjects. were in the best of health.
Their weight in some cases was
almost exactly the same a. when the
experiments were begun. and in some
slightly lower. Their bodily vigor was
greater. partly owing To their regular
physical exercises during the expert
mentS and partly owing. Prof. Chit
tenden believes, to the less amount of
food eaten.
The daily consumption of food at
the close of the experiments was much
less than the recognized standard and
from a third to half as much as the
average man eats.
