Eating Too Fast.
| DR.. Wiley says that eating too fast
/ is another evil of American life, anu
i (what sounds more strange) that the
reason for this is not SO much that
| we fail properly to masticate our food
under such conditions, as because
when we eat fast we eat more than
| we should. An average man requires
| 1000 calorics of food a day. If we
could measure the amount of food we
ate before each meal we would be
more healthy than we are, but nature,
| taking care of this, has placed our
appetite as the register of what is good
/ for us. When we eat fast the bal
ance the appetite should strike is lost,
and we eat more than we want.
less Food Needed i'm Spring.
when spring comes on said DR..
/ Wiley, remember that your body does
not require as much food as it did
during the winter and moderate your
appetite accordingly.

earth, with all its mineral foods, mag

Don't eat a great deal while you
are working; eat after the work has
| been DONE" said DR.. Wiley. "You are
always drawing your strength from
the food you have taken the day be-
fore. For instance the laboring man
should make supper his heartiest
| meal, so that he would not be bother
ed by the labor of throwing off the
waste from a heavy meal while he is
working.
The Doctors Own Way.
DR.. Wiley was asked by a reporter
of The Sun in an interview after the
lecture for diet for the different
meals of the day
after what have said there is lit
tie to add" he replied. 'For myself,
l usually eat a couple of eggs, a po-
tato, perhaps, and bread and coffee
for breakfast Luncheon ] seldom take
more than a bowl of soup, a roll and
glass of milk. l eat hearty meal
at dinner time and seldom do night
work.
In reply to a question, DR.. Wiley
said that the popular idea that the
stomach is not in condition to re-
ceive a hearty meal at breakfast after
its 10 or IL hour fast is erroneous.
ct should then be in condition to do
its best work." he said, ''but one
should not eat hearty breakfast, be-
cause work usually follows break
fast

from that of a man? Well, / should
say so. You know, / regard woman

OId-Time Dishes Wholesome.
do you believe in the modern
breakfast foods which are being eaten
so extensively the chemist was
asked

whats the use of paying so much
for a fancy name?' he asked. Whats
the matter with old-fashioned mush,
hominy and all the other old-fashion-
ed things. all of which are extremely
wholesome and much cheaper?

you don't want that. Often the
food which requires the greatest
amount of time to digest does you the
greatest amount of good"
How To Keep Young.
AS for the man who is eating some
of the breakfast foods and beans and
peas in all the varieties of the family,
eschewing meat, with the idea that
meat contains poiSons which do him
harm, he might as well call a halt
upon himself at once and limit himself
to potatoes. hominy, rice, corn and
bread, for so long as he eats the first
named he is eating chemical matters
which. narrowed down to the fine
point to which DR.. Wiley takes them,
are the real inwardness of meat"
they contain the nitrogen which is
corroding the innumerable passages
through which his food must pass
and which will make him old before
his time-which will "Oslerize" him,
as DR., Wiley said.
"I'm not a crank on dieting" said
DR.. Wiley. 81 believe in a man eating
what he likes, but j believe in a man
keeping young, and he can do this
best by avoiding an excess of nitrogen
in his food, and this nitrogen is con-
tanned in meat"
Results Of Experiments.
The chemists experiments with the
IL young men under him Will nave
passed the third year next July. The
subjects have been fed canned peas
containing sulphate of copper used TO
color the vegetables, and other adul-
terated foods. I'VE have proved that
borax, which is used largely in adul-
terating American foods, is injurious"

Everything the young men eat is
weighed and chemically analysed.
