The secret of proper feeding
may be told in one word-modera
tion-moderation as to quantity, as
to selection and as to frequency of
meals. | may also add moderation
as the mental condition under
which the food is eaten.
Dietary theories there are with
out end. Every day sees one born.
Happily, almost every day sees one
die. So you see it might be worse.
Suppose all those theories lived?
One man says eat raw foods and
nothing else; another insists that
you eat only vegetables. Still an
other allows you only those vege-
tables that grow in the sunlight,
Another would force down your UNI
willing throat prodigious quantities
of milk. One says, Never mind
chewing another frantically ad-
jures you to go about all day, chew
ing, like a contented bovine being
relieved of her surplus tactical
fluid. One warns you against the
use of water, which he claims is
quite unnecessary. He doesn't tell
you, though, where the body shall
get the four quarts of water which
it pours out daily, and, lastly, to
end the narrowing tale, comes the
ingenious charlatan. who insists
that nice red sand is an essential
article of food. and assures you
that he sells the only sand in the
whole world that is really fit to
eat.
And in this pandemonium of ir-
norance, fanaticism and quackery
the merely mortal man stands be-
wildered. What shall he eat, how
much. how often? How shall he
feed his children?
Now, here's an attempt at the
truth of the food question:
In diet there are three factors.
First and most important is the
mental conditions under which the
food is eaten; second, the condi-
ton of the organs into which the
food is put; third land least inn
poranU, the kind of food eaten.
Food eaten when you are excited,
hurried. angry or anxious will
not feed the body-no matter how
good that food may be. Food taken
into stomach that is irritable.

tressed." And | answered: There
is no food that will not distress
your stomach-now. The trouble
is with the stomach-.not the food"
And then the food? What shall
we eat? Cereal with cream, fruit.

egg in glass OF milk--that for

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept IA
The little brown brother" from
Japan again has San Francisco on
tenterhooks. This time he is not
causing a disturbance by trying to
enter the public schools against
the will of the authorities, nor Is
he threatening to call upon the
armed forces of the mikado to Sc
cure entry into the United States.
His designing eye this time is cast
upon the fashionable shopping dis
trict along Van Ness avenue and
the discovery has been made that
Japanese merchants now control
more leases along this thorough
fare than are held by American
storekeepers.

The principal trading on ex-
change was in Panhandle, the
price remaining the same. The
absorption of these shares indi-

and the price is not allowed to
go above a certain figure nor be-
low a certain point. The cause Of
the present weakness in Snow

that large fault was encountered
in the lower tunnel, indicating
some doubt as to the finding of
the ore in place in the lower level.
This tunnel is now about, 1000

rate of about eight feet day day
