Food Faddists and the Hired nEam.

FOOD Eaddists and the Hired HRan.
those eminent scientists who are
continually making discoveries that
will reVoIutionize conditions on this
globe have struck II again. This time
slow eating and little food are to usher
In a new era and begin the Job at once.
1t makes no difference to scientists
when they have a new ism to an
nounce that their last production, like
scores and hundreds Of its predeces-
sors, never achieved the results pre-
dicted for 1t. They exploit the latest
output with a blare OF trumpets as
the best thing yet and leave 1t to an
ignorant or an unfeellng world to
speak its doom. "PoltOphagism" is the
name given by the sponsors Of the new
idea In eating. 1t is to end at once the
curse Of eating too much and too fast.
The greatest living specimen Of what
slow eating can do IL the man on
Whose account the doctrine was drst
named "FletcheriSm." Under that la
bel q new idea has a chance, for It Is
familiar and witching. The hired man
could at least grasp II, but not so with
'.poltophagiSm" Scientists will find no
general protest against their monopoly
OF this ugly word and all the virtue
that clusters around 1t. Fletcher's
wonderful feat Of slow starvation loses
much Of its interest and value to the
average man whep II becomes known
that he was the best subject magma
BILE 10 practice the fad and live. He
was rich, with no cares or worries. He
could pick his food, his cooks, hts envi-
FOnment, and take his own time over
eho mastlcati0n and digestion OF the
Eiorsels he allowed himself. He had
surplus body Of tissue stored up to
start with, ate enough to keep his or
gans In play and didn't die Of starva-
ton, as accepted science declared he
would; hence old school theories of
human nutrition are thrust aside, and
q new school rallies around "Fletch-
erism,s which IL TO abolish the curse Of
our country, indigestion, and the evils
that dow from it 1t sounds practical
to all but the hired man. The rich can
afford to ride hobbies and skate along
the brink OF death by slow starvation,
as Fletcher did. But most people have

set before them by the boss the while
they are eating. 80 as to be right on
the job when the whistle or horn
blows. Just whore the curse OF fast
eating bears hardest the new fad
would place another hardship, for the
hired man must DO fed or he cannot
work.

S1,500,000.
Mr.. Wanamaker's home was consid

of ground and the house, which in the

contained some of the rarest prints
and most valuable paintings in exist

The fire made rapid progress from
the start, and almost everything in the
place but a few valuable paintings
were destroyed. Among those savet
were Christ Before PLATE" and
Christ On Calvary" by Munkacsy
These were cut from their frames and
saved. The two paintings are valued
at $25OOO0.
The furniture was the most serious
loss. There were so rooms in the
house and each room was furnished il

ings were collected from the houses OF
royalty and cannot be replaced at any
price.
