EATING TOO MUCH.
overnutrition Is Just as Harmful as
Malnutrition.

1t is an acknowledged fact that al
most every soul of us eats too much.
The digestive organs are constantly
overturned and finally weakened.
When wisely followed, the practice of
fasting can be most beneficial. An ex-
pert on the food question has said that
one should rise from the table with
the feeling Of hunger, which is an ex-
perience known to very few of US
On the contrary, the majority Of peo-
pie leave the board with sense Of
burden which only an hours siesta
can alleviate. This is not 80 much
owing to the fact that the food is I'M
commonly rich. for the rule of the
simple life obtains now in the fash
ionable cuisine, but it is the quantity
taken. There is large community at
the present moment which fasts from
is question II it is wise to leave the
stomach entirely without food during
all those hours, but there Is no ques-
ton that the lighter the lunch taken
the better will be the health OF the
Individual. BY light lunch" In this
instance Is meant what most people
would not call lunch at all-that is
to say, few crackers with cheese
"a much maligned article of diet.
few nuts and bit of fruit or cup
Of cocoa with dry toast. Such a
feast" prevents the craving for food
and in no way taxes the digestive or
gans. Overnutrition is just as harm
full as malnutrition and is far more
frequently the cause Of maladieS.
With judicious fasting the system re-
covers its lost tone, and mental work

with surprising lishtness, for the brain
is one Of the chief sufferers from over
eating. York American.
