Do We Eat Too Much.

Psychologists say that the japanese pre-
sent the most perfect physique of any race
of the world. Most Of the diseases COM
mon to the Occident are unknown to the
subjects of the Mikado, and this happy con-
dition they themselves attribute to the fact
that they eat sparingly and only of plain,
nourishing food. A Japanese visiting this
country is appalled, at the quantity of food
consumed by his host in one day Is
pecially is he impressed with the extrava-
gauce of our poorer people In Japan
meat once day is luxury even among
the well o-do. 1t has often been said
that to enjoy perfect digestion one should
