Horace Fletcher concludes that the aver
age human being eats three times as much
as is good for him; that by eating only

even more thoroughly than by Glad
stones famous thlrty-two bites OF each
mouthful, a person is assured Of unfalling
health. Strength. contentment and lon
gevity. In word. he will have annihil-
ated the chief cause of all disea So indi-
gestion. Mr.. Fletcher conducted expert
ments at Vale and Cambridge Unlversl-
ties, and made tests under the auspices
of the United States Army AS result
of his experiments he advocates that
people should ignore false appetite and
wait for return of normal appetite,
which is indicated by desire for some
particular simple food accompanied by
a watering of the mOuth-al OF which IS
good advice, but great many Amerl-
cans, both men and women, are thin, paie

they have already ill-treated their stom :

by consuming alcoholic beverages. or by
too close confinement to home, office or
factory. and in consequence the stomach
must be treated in natural way before
they can rectify their earlier mistakes.
The muscles in many such people, IN

son, do their work with great difficulty
As n result fatigue comes early, is ex-
treme and lasts long. The demand for
nutritive aid is ahead of the supply. TIC

Although some physicians were awar
