JAPs HAVE THE BEST PHYSIQUE

(From Rochester Post and Expressj
Once more the question is raised.
DO We eat too much? This is one of
those interesting questions that come
up at regular interyals-when the ma
tiUnal liver is ont Of order as il were
Just now the question is raised be-
cause of the interest Of psychologists
in the Japanese, who are said to pre-
sent the most perfect physique OF any
race in the world Most diseases com
mon 10 the people Of this hemisphere
arc unknown among the subjects Of
the Miksdo. and this enviable condi-
tion they themselves attribute 10 the
fact thar they eat sparingly and only
Of plain, nourishing food. There IS a
popular Japanese proverb that goes
something like this: Il am happy be
cause ! am hungry" Apropos of this.
there is good sorry told Of the lap
anese minister at Washington in the
current "Iiousekeeper." The minister
was a guest Of honor at a banquet.
After the first two courses of oysters
and soup, as the walters were bringing
in the FISH. he exclaimed: What
Can anyone possibly want more to
eat2" During the remaining six
courses he opened his mouth for the
exclusive purpose OF conversation. /
When his ahstemiousness was com /
mented upon he said Il am salts
fed. feel bright and wide awake. (
If | were to eat as much as you do
I should fail asleep, and then could 4
not make my speech Most OF the
men around this table are fat, be
cause they eat too much It is
to be so fat. am stronger
than any fat man" There are two
sides to this question, however, and It
is plain that What is good for one
race would not serve for another.

TOBACCO HEART.

From the Baltimore Herald
It is estimated that about 20 per
cent Of the young men who recently
applied to enter the Naval academy
have failed in the physical test, and
the failure was largely due to the
use Of tobacco. resulting in the irreg
ular beating Of the heart. Nowadays
physicians speak of "the tobacco
heart a trouble caused by the exces.
sive nse Of the weed When the smok-
er develops into a cigarette fiend"
the services of a physician are neces
sary, but before this point is reached
the heart may be permanently injur-
ed The trouble is often Of gradual
growth. and it is only when the young
man IS subjected to a physical exam
nation that the extent of the disorder
becomes known.
