Doom Of the Luncheon.

When you go for a long tramp do
not bother to take lunch with you.
Just put half dozen Jumps of sugar
in your pocket and eat them when you
get tired and hungry. You will at
once find your strength and freshness
renewed. This is what DR.. Lee. pro
fessor of physiology at Columbia uni
versity, and author of several import
ant works on the vital processes of
life, firmly asserts. Fatigue, according
ITO Prof. Lee, is a result Of certain
chemical changes in the body, due to
muscular exertion. Sugar, taken inter.
nally, arrests and prevents these
changes. The sugar. to be specific,
replenishes the carbohydrates that are
wasted by exertion and causes the
fatigue due to this waste to disappear.
