We Eat too Much.

Most of US eat too much at all
times. On such occasions as Christ
mas we eat entirely too much. 1t Is a
serious matter which concerns the
health of all.
More illness is caused by over-eat-
ing than by any other one thing. We
gorge the system with too much food
and our inability to take care of all
that is piled in leads to all sorts of
complications.
There were times when most of
our ancestors lived in the open air
and did hard physical work. Then
big eating was necessary. The hard
er the physical exertion, especially in
the open and cold, the more food is
necessary. Food is fuel. Exertion
eats up the fuel and cold consumes
it.
In these days, however, there is
very little work of a hard physical
kind in the open air for the majority
of us. We ought, therefore. to be
light eaters. But, most of us are not,
and the very large majority of peo-
pie esG entirely too much.

/ The guage at the hydrant showed

The guage at the hydrant showed
pressure of 23 pounds. When the
pump was started the pressure rap
idly mounted to 120 pounds, and at
that time the guage at the main was
down to nothing, showing that the
pump was taking all the water from
the hydrant. At this pressure
streams were tried with the y Inch,
M Inch and IN Inch nozzles.
Without the pump with the smallest
nozzle tip stream of not more than
so feet was thrown, but with the
pump it carried about 14O feet, or
a distance sufficient to reach over
any dwelling on Highland avenue.
At another hydrant the Monhagens
tried the new Nspray nozzle. This
nozzle, while carrying heavy main
stream, casts a spray for a radius of
about ten feet directly in front of the
nozzle-men, keeping smoke and fire
away from them, and allowing to
work very close to the fire.
Later two streams were, used at
once. The hydrant pressure was 80
pounds, and the pump, with two
streams working, increased this to
20 pounds.
The test was declared finished at
about 3:40 o'clock. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion that the fire fighting
efficiency Of the department has been
greatly increased by the addition to
its apparatus of the Monhagen's auto
truck
