Besides his new tent and the diet
indicator, Prof. Fisher has also in
vented new machine for the testing
of endurance. 1t has been installed in
the gymnasium at Yale University,
and is there used in elaborate expert

ing with athletes and others in order

are no patents on Prof Fishers con-
trivances. Everybody may construct

Some years ago Prof. Fisher was
himself consumptive. He cured him
self Of that dread disease by open-air
treatment and proper dieting. His
personal experience turned his
thoughts toward the subjects Of diet

met the cost Of his expensive and
elaborate experiments and researches
