live and the game and fish commits

Some people may be disposed to
laugh at the Boston clergyman who
asserts that the world is becoming
hopelessly wicked because We have too
many good things to eat The Boston
dominic. however, Is merely the
evolved product Of that dleteuc phil.
osophy, fashionable just now, which
teaches that you cannot possibly find
anything wholesome to eat--that one
thing will destroy your stomach, an
other will annihilate your liver and
still another will ruin your kidneys
A consensus of the experts in this line
would undoubtedly show that our only
resource Is to starve to death, since
there is nothing at to eat or drink
The Boston preacher has not got quite
that far along, but he Is in a fair way
to arrive. A reaction from this food
phobia Is about due. Indeed, II Is al
ready in progress, since a great many
people who undertook to follow the
instructions of the food sharps have
given 1t up In despair, going back TO
the old principle of eating what they
like and in quantities to satisfy them.
We hear less about people digging
their graves with their teeth and SINH
lar wise saws. There Is not now so
much solemn, didactic humbug on the
subject. People will shortly realize
that the average adult has pretty
good idea-gained through experience
of what he may safely eat and that
he is a better judge Of his needs and
limitations In that direction than any
body else can possibly be. That is, II
he finds that certain things 'agree"
with him and other things disagree"
with him he would be very foolish to
ignore this self-attained knowledge
and accept the dlctum Of some self
constituted oracle who lays down a
diet for mankind without regard to in
dividual idiosyncrasies Man is, after
all, an animal, and he retains some
thing Of the instinct which warns the
lower animals against unwholesome
food. Where his instinct Is at fault
moreover, his reason, basing its deduc-
tons upon his experience, will guide
him safely in matters dietetic. AS a
general proposition 1t is safe to say
that man will be best off as regards
his stomach If he eats what his fancy
calls for. If he finds that his appetite
Is misleading him then it will be time
to take counsel Of the food sharps-
who will promptly advise him to quit
eating altogether.

Just before dawn, when the morning
