AS TO EATING,


 The following Is from The Brooklyn Eagle and is interesting:
 "A professor of the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale has proved to his own satisfaction, that we all eat too much He has conducted series of experi- ments on Yale professors on students and on United States soldiers, for good many months, which show that the food of all these classes can be reduced by about half without reducing the weight, strength or effectiveness of the sub jects. That would be a. fine way out of the perplexities brought to most of us by the steadily rising price of foods The Meat Trust the Hen Trust and the market gardener seem to have conspired to get the last cent of the salaried work CTS pay. If we were content to put ourselves on Professor Chittenden's sys- tenn of diet we might reduce our grocer and butcher bills by half and save money enough to go to Europe or perhaps to the opera"
