The Vice Of Eating too Much.

There are, as we all realize, some
unhappy people in the world who do
not have enough TO eat. even some who
die. of starvation or what amounts to
the same thing, in land of plenty.
But for every person who dies of star
walton or suffers for lack of food, there
are a large number who die from over
eating ard go through their shortened
lives suffering ills which result from
eating too much. Scientists agree that
the average individual eats more than
is good for him. OF course, such eX-
cessiva eating is simply form of m
temperance and often a form which is
as harmful and as prompt in its results
as intemperance in regard to liquors.
There is perhaps a moral difference be-
tween the Incorporate eater and the
Incorporate drinker. but it is often
net so great as the former suproses.
But that is another story. The edi-
tor of the London Review of Reviews
has secured statements from 10 men
| English scientists. and men of
letters giving information as to their
| eating and drinking habits. 1t is in
teresting to note that seven of the 10
have always practiced great modera-
ton in eating as we'll as drinking. OF

In the first eight months of the pres
CIT fiscal year the excess of American
exports over imports has reached the
stupendous total of s520.000,000. These
figures beat by $4,000. 900 the record
for any similar period in the past. In
February the United States exported
goods valued at slS7 900 900 and its i'm
ports were only $4,000, 600 The peo-
pie of this country bought from
foreigners last month $4,000, coo less
than i'll February 1907. but managed
to sell them $S.000.gO0 more. All this
demonstrates that when America wants
TO keep its money at home it can ges
along very nicely without most of the
things which it buys abroad when it
is feeling flush and extravagant. The
figures also demonstrate that Europe
cannot get along without the cotton,
wheat, corn, copper and manufactured
commodities of America. 1t buys these
things in increasing volumes, not be-
cause it wishes to but because it must.
