Tabulated Diet.
An idea Of what the boys In blue now
eat may be gained through study Of the
regulation army diet which the soldiers at
Yale followed in the first part of the ex-
periments, and which were tabulated by
Prof. Chittenden

Beef boiled potatoes, onions, bread. coffee sugar.

another:

So ran their menus, week in and week
out. AS they say in the vernacular. when
1t wasn't one thing it was another'-of va
rious meats, roast beef predominating and
meat being on the table three times day.
Evidence of Betterment.
By the end of the six months or SO the
experiments lasted the soldiers were eat
ing very little meat their strength had In
creased their endurance wonderfully SO,
and all through a trying winter at Yale,
with rather monotonous ways of life-for
United States sodiers-they were remark
ably free from colds and other ailments.
Tests indicated a slight increase of mental
alertness, but were not carried far enough
to furnish positive evidence Of betterment
in this direction.
In England and other European countries
where Horace Fletcher is known as widely
as In America. and where his ideas are at
tracing certainly as much attention-and
the attention here has grown wonderfully of
late since the publication of Prof Chitten-
den's new book and the publication of the
reports of Prof. Irving Fishers notable ex-
periments in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS au-
thorities are seriously considering the new
dietary methods.
1t is obvious what an advantage 1t would
be In the administration of the most diff
cult. perhaps of all military problems that
of the commissariat department, to have
soldiers and sailors adopt the new ideas
There would be the saving of money, there
would be the saving of weight carried by
individual soldiers. and by the food wagons
and transports; but, most important of
all other things, say the upholders of these
new ideas, would be the increase in the
strength, endurance and health of the men
by the practice of rational ha bits of eating
and drinking.
When Prof. Fisher had concluded his
elaborate and exhaustive studies of endur-
ance recently at Yale with nine healthy
students who adopted (and have since kept
up the practice of thorough masticat ton, he
says that the improvements the men made
were almost incredible"

But even they would be better off If they
reduced their eating of meat. The healthy

dous amount of work without breaking

much OF the unnecessary work athletes put
upon their bodies by over-eating can be
done away with to advantage, the time must

"New Epicureanism."
DR.. Anderson hopes that Yale may supply
this body of athletes. When the fall term
at Yale opens he will begin a systematic eff
fort through a series of lectures to the I'M
dergraduates to arouse their interest in the
pra ctical benefits he declares flow from the
ideas of eating and drinking which he ad-
vocates and which, when his son, a Yale
student, was practicing certainly did not
prevent even If they did not help his win
ming the collegiate and intercollegiate gym
nastic championships of America.
And so 1t may be that the way to ath-
1etic victories through the paths of the
new epicureansm Horace Fletcher
prefers to term his method of eating-doing
SO because he insists that unless you take
real sensuous pleasure In your food, eat it
with the gusto of an epicure of refined
taste. 1t is worse than useless for you to
adopt his system-may be shown by Yale
to all other colleges if the New Haven ath-
letes should follow DR.. Andersons plan.
1t is the hope of increasing the students
endurance. their general strength and men
tai as well as physical fitness, it may be
supposed, that leads DR.. Anderson to this,
well the hope of seeing his flock trl-
umph In athletics.
Tests of Endurance.
Horace Fletcher has Just concluded
series of tests of endurance at Yale under
the observation of Prof. Chittenden and
DR. Anderson. Last week it was related how
he had broken the record set by the strong
men of the university and established new
one for lifting of weights on Prof. Fishers
testing device double that of the
old record; but an even more wonderful
fact Is that the tests-reports of which VIII
soon be made by Prof. Chittenden and DR..
Anderson-prove through scientific demon
straton that Mr. Fletcher has improved
fully 100 per cent in endurance since the
date of his work at Yale four years ago. at
the time when he astonished the scientists
by his feats.
1t was through arousing the interest Of
Gen. Leonard Wood and of Maj. Gen.
o'Reilly of the Hospital Corps, both Of
whom Mr.. Fletcher met on shipboard
shortly after the officers mentioned had
been working shoulder to shoulder with DR..
Reed at Havana in the attack upon the
yellow fever plague that Mr.. Fletcher made

evidence of army interest in the subject was

A Dog That Led Double Life.

A prominent business man of st. Louis
was surprised not long ago by the appear
ance at his rear door of a fine fox terrier
pup. knowing a good dog when he sees it,
he welcomed the canine and patiently
awaited the appearance of an advertisement
or other notification that his master wanted
him again. But 1t came not, and Fido was
taken from the rear shed. where he had
been made prisoner for week or two, and
a fancy collar and chain were bestowed
upon him. He was made an honored mem
Der Of the family and seemed well pleased
with his new surroundings.
1t is habitual for this gentleman to walk
out Lindel boulevard on Sunday afternoons
with his children, and as F'ido has become
quite friendly with them ALL he was allowed
to 60 too. He frlsked about the sidewalks
leaped upon strangers. did everything else
that silly fox terrier pups are In the habit
of doing when in a highly contented mood
and his fine points drew many an eXclana-
ton of admiration from people whom the
gentleman passed during the course OF the
afternoon.
When the sun about TO set and the
gentleman started for home the dog was no
where to be seen. He sought about back
yards of that locality, under barrels, In
chicken yards and under doorsteps, for the
fox terrier, but in vain. He was undouUt-
eddy lost.
that he had learned to prize SO highly. the
gentleman started for home by his former
route keeping his eye out for the missing
animal He arrived before "A friends house
ON Spring avenue, who was standing In his
front ward What are you looking FOR,
s. asked his friend, seeing his anxious
gIances about.
THAT so? Why. old man, I've Just found
mine" Then, walking out to the sidewalk
he resumed: What kind of dog was
yours?"
The thought flashed through the gentle
mans mind that perhaps it his
friends dog he had had in captivity for
several weeks, and he answered with great
presence of mind:
Mine is fox terrier" answered the
man who had but recovered his animal,
"and l wouldn't lose him for anything. lie
just strolled off a few weeks ago ana we
were unable to locate him.
cold sweat broke out on the gentle
man who had owned Fido but few short
weeks. as he feared that he might dasn
from the yard any moment and with JOY
full recognition give the situation De
cidedly unpleasant turn. SO he hustehcd
on without losing any time.
Some days later, to his amazement the
dog showed up again. He paused between
doubt and fear about keeping him. He
thought of going to his acquaintance and
offering him payment for the dog, but
this might cause suspicion OF his having
kept him in custody the first time. If he
returned him to his owner it would also
look rather strange, SO he decided to think
the matter over.
The next day he met the owner Of tho
dog on the car. With an impulsive rush La
exclaimed:
"By George Jim. ! found my dog"
well Smith, I've lost mine again" re-
piled Lis friend. And then there followed
silence.

Six months later, in the fashionable

Another hours trip east from Worcester
brings the traveller to Boston, where winter
and summer there IS much to allure the
thoughtful and curious. Some of the best
mural paintings which have yet been pro-
duced in America are to be found here in
the public library and state house. Then,
also. there is the art museum with its
many excellent collections and for the ben
eft of summer visitors especially exhl-
bition of paintings set forth under the au
spices of the Copley Society in Copley hall.
1t was the COpley Society which was ac-
countable for the Whistler and Monet me-
mortal exhibitions held In Boston several
winters ago. and its ability to assemble no
table art collections has been many times
demonstrated.
The present exhibition, which opened on
July !, is composed largely of the work of
local painters. but its lists are open to all,
and a number Of the exhibits have come
from New York and Philadelphia. 1t is a
very uneven exhibition: some Of the ex
hibits are extremely good, but others fall
far below the standard. Nor is 1t well ar
ranged or related: so that while 1t con-
not appear TO advantage.
Henry b. Fuller's large mural painting
Life Disarmng DEATH has been given
the place of prominence at the end Of the
gallery over the stage, but the lighting is
bad and the wall draperies inharmonious
so that its effect Is materially injured. It
is difficult problem to place such paint
ing and to present 1t with the right envi-
ronment There is less evidence of the in
huence of Monet and Whistler in this eXhi-
bition than In the one held last year-less
imitation and more individual strength
manifested. Never has Mr.. Hassam pro-
duced a more noteworthy work or better
indicated the cause of the French i'm
pressionists'' than in his painting entitled
"Irnder the Cliff" which Is to be seen In
this exhibition. Herman Dudley Murphy Is
also seen at his best In a portrait of n lady
in black. which is painted on a coarse can
vas with thin pigment and shows exquisite
refinement and splendid values. Charles
II. Woodbury. is represented by two snow
scenes in oil and no less than five ma
rines in water color: Mrs. Adelaide Cole
Chase sends two portraits, one of a young
girl and one of Mrs. Parlen, while T. w.
Derring sends The Letter, clever, but
comparatively unattractive work. And be-
sides all these there are a dozen or more
contributors W hose names have not yet be-
come familiar through catalogue induces,
but who merit earnest consideration and no
small amount of praise-men and women
who possessing courage and individuality,
will undoubtedly in time help to leaven the
