DO WE EAT TOO MUcHq
Generally Acknowledged That Preser

Generally Acknowledged That Present
Generation L. Overfed,
The question whether or not we eat
too much is just now agitating tie
scientific world, and some direct and
practical efforts are being made to an.
sWer the query. Prof. Crittenden, ot
Yale, has taken the matter In hand
and, with the sanction and aid Of the
War Department, is about to instl
tute some food experiments on a select
group Of sturdy soldiers. They are to
be fed scientifically, and due note 10 %
be taken Of the chemical constituents
Of various viands and their respective
nutritive quality.
1t Is quite likely that the minimum
estimate Of quantity and quality, Of
nutrient material required will be sur
prising to most people.
This assumption is predicated on tho
generally acknowledged fact that the
present generation is very much over
fed. We may go even further by say.
Ing that the Americans as a class are
notable examples of this oVerindul'
gence. Dyspepsia is veritable Amer
lean disease, due as much to the over.
loading Of the stomach with rich food
as to the hasty manner in which the
act Is accomplished.
AS regards the actual nutrition to
be obtained. 1t is the old. story OF tho

rein and Is spurred by the multiplied
trickeries Of fancy dishes. In the good

hunger took care of itself. 1t was not

this or that dish, not SO much Whas
the boy had to eat, but how much OF
good bread and butter he was alloWed
to eat. He never had occasion %

The good doctor who advised the
rich dyspeptic to take only one meal
day, and first earn it, was perhaps
an extremist, but for his particular pa
dent he evidently had the right view'

land have been sold by private COM

ulation is shown In the crop reports.
The farmers of Manitoba produced
more than fifty million bushels of
wheat in 1901, whereas the yield of
the province ten years before was only
twenty-three million bushels. The
increase in the wheat production of
the Dominion, from sixty-one million
bushels to eighty-tve millions, is due
to the growth Of this province. Amer
lean farmers need not fear the COM
