The shock of the statement. however
led me to consider my own case to
recover my health. | believed the
lault, at bottom, was malnutrition.
Authorities on dietetics that con-
suited held opinions so confused that
was led to infer that no one had
struck the golden mean of truth.
Il argued first that if these disa-
bilities are the responsibility of the
individual suffering from malnutri-
ton it's fair to suppose that the viola
ton of natural requirements occurred
before the loss of control of the food.
II so, it must relate to either the
selection of food or its treatment in
the mouth before swallowing. This
conclusion led first to a considera-
ton OF selection but finally tended
more particularly to the treatment
of food in the mouth.
Il began with taste. To study
taste | found it necessary carefully
and Obseryantly to masticate solid
tood in the mouth and to sip all
liquids that have taste in much the
same fashion as wine tasters and tea
tasters do. While experimenting
this way | found that many foods
which had been considered compare
lively tasteless acquired a sweetness
hitherto unknown and that many con-
sldered quite palatable ceased to be
so. These | discarded. Much less
food now completely satisfied the APP
petite, and that satisfaction was more
complete than formerly had been the
case with larger quantities. In two
or three weeks there was was a
noticeable decrease in the waist meas
urement and obesity became modified
in progressive degree, until at the
end of four or five months the insur-
ance standard for normal weight was
regained and the diseases which had
been declared chronic and dangerous
had apparently vanished. There also
had been a notable diminutiOn in the
waste products of the body and an
increase in working energy"
Mr.. Fletcher said that he got the
first test of his added physical en-
durance one Fourth of July while re-
siding in Paris. On that day he rode
his bicycle out to FOntainebleau and
continued his ride with an eXplOra-
ton of the forest, and upon his re-
turn his cyclometer registered about
10 miles for the day. He was less
fatigued than when in his younger
days fifty or sixty miles was a
great performance, and there was
none of the muscular soreness, or al
most none, whereas in former years
the soreness would last for days
On his fiftieth birthday Mr.. Fetch
er started on a bicycle run as a

that night. He covered 304 kilome-
tiers (about 1870 miles,, with loss

WANTS STATE SENATORSHIp
Peculiar State of Affairs Over in
Tenth District.

Peculiar State of Affairs Over in
Tenth District.
An unusual state of affairs exists
over in the tenth senatorial district.
Originally the district was composed
of Lee, Dougherty and Worth coun-
ties, but when Turner county vas
created it was added as the fourth
member of the senatorial group.
Under the rotation plan. which has
been in existence in the district for
a number of years, it is Lee county S
time to name the senator who will
be elected this year. 1t is understood
that Hon. j. P. Galloway will be a
candidate for the office.
Turner claims, as the youngest
member of the senatorial family,
the privilege of naming the senator
should be allowed her this year, Lee
naming the senator in 1910 and the
four counties in regular order there
after. There is little doubt, however,
that Lee will name the senator this
year, Turner's status only being
definitely fixed when the senatorial
convention meets.

There are hundreds of professors
and thinkers in the colleges and uni
versities who cut very little figure in
the newspapers and who modestly
and earnestly are developing them
selves to their chosen parts in work

is not easy to measure. But so many
university professors cut such foolish
capers before high heaven as to Gre
ate the impression among those OF
hasty judgment that the average uni
versity professor is suffering from
some sort of brainstorm or exagger-
ated ego. The University of Missouri
has a Professor Elkin who has put
his Welsh rarebit dreams into the fol-
lowing propositions:
/. That every village and city
must have a public physician who
must not only cure people, but keep
them well.
2. That the government must sup
mort LAWYERS who will give legal adj

8. That the clergy must take a
brace and quit initiating.
4. That the colleges should PRINT

5. That insurance should De d

6. That railroads should charge

Mr.. Fletcher told of tests of his
ideas at Cambridge and by a num-
Der of distinguished scientists of
Europe, all OF which went to prove
that his case was not exceptional.
Then Prof. Chrittenden of Yale began
elaborate experiments with Mr..
Fletcher's ideas and changed from
scOffer to a convert. DR.. Anderson
put Mr.. Fletcher through his PAGES
with Yale oarsmen { exercises that
are drastic and fatiguing," said DR..
Anderson) and Mr.. Fletcher got
away with them with ease. 1t proved,
he said, that if you will but chew

down as it should, and don't think
about troubles and worries while din
ing, and select what you like to chew
we'll, and select it only when you
feel you want it you always will be

THE only rules of the expert
ments,' said the speaker, were
thorough mastication of all food, and
obedience to the calls of the appetite
as to choice and quantity of food and
time of eating. The results were a
natural reduction of proteid and thor
ough mastication reduced the con-
sumption of food one-fourth, with
a net increase of 80 per cent. in mus
cular endurance, together with de-
cided gain in mental efficiency, and
in the case of the Yale students the
ease with which college tasks were
performed.
