Booze In the Form Of Beef.
The poisoning Of mind and body,
hence the intoxication resulting from
overindulgen in meats, is very sim
liar In the last analysis to that occa-s
stoned by alcoholism It is what Mr.
Fletcher describes as taking booze in
the form Of beef
According to his philosophy, there is
as much evil in ..food drunkenness
as there is in alcohol drunkenness.
For instance, he states that .sthe body
throws off the effects of alcohol drunk
enness much easier and more quickly
than those Of food drunkenness, and
in the latter form Of intoxication the
dangers from uric acid are probably
greater than in the former =

the best or the most injudicious in the
world. He subscribes to the following
catholic doctrine:
It isn't what one eats; it's how one eats.
There is not a thing which cannot be
eaten If it is eaten rightly.
There should be no restriction on the
eating whatsoever. This is not a fad at

~ UGH was the astounding state
ment Of Horace Fletcher, the
n world famed authority on foods
and feeding, made to the writer
in his last interview given before his
departure for Europe. The originator
Of the system, revolutionary in the
world Of matters dietetic, known as
fetcherism or fetcherizing, does not
consider his claim as to the elimina-
ton Of crime to be at all sensational.
He is habftually and characteristically
retiring and conservative In his words
and thoughts. AS a patient disciple Of
moderation and founder of the new re-
ligion Of dietary righteousness Hor-
ace Fletcher offers logical arguments
and cold facts to substantiate his
statement.
talked with him for several hours
in his sitting room in the Phipps model
tenement No. 1, in New York's tragic
east side, where this kindly souled,
gray haired humanitarian has chosen
to dwell in preference to his costly
marble palace, Palazzo Saibante, on
the Grand canal, in Venice, a palace
800 years old.
The effect Of nations food on a
nations minds" said Mr.. Fletcher, s.is
too easily ascertainable to be under
estimated. While have never made a
point Of naming arbitrarily what per-
son should or should not eat, have
spoken and written as to how and
when and how much to eat. Persons
who overeat in their consumption Of
meats become mentally different from
those who eat normally or who depend
chiefly or wholly on vegetable forms of
diet. Large, abnormal quantities Of
meat as diet are for sayagery. They
create an unnatural condition Of mind

meat eat ii, but don't overeat, and eat

meat eat 1t, but don't overeat, and eat it
rightly.
Eating rightly is to cease eating when the
appetite ceases to call for food; to masti-
cate thoroughly, chewing the food scores
of times if necessary to mix it SO COM
pletely with the saliva that it will be
swallowed in semifiuid, practically invol-
UNFAIRLY; to get all the taste out of liq-
uid food; to stop eating the minute the
saliva stops flowing freely resting your
appetite before it gets tired to eat only
when you are cheerful, for you won't di-
gest enough to make it worth while
Don't eat when YOU are sad or when
you are mad, but only when you are
glad you are alive. And that is all Of
fietcherizing.
"Cure Intemperance by Drinking"
Mr.. Fletcher makes another startling
assertion-one that has well defined
relation, moreover, to the influence of
diet in crime. He says:
whisky can be taken in seemingly
harmless form and in such manner
as to cure the craving for drinking in
excess, thus promoting temperance
+ The food scientist relies on the eff
fects Of holding the fluid in the mouth
to thoroughly insalivate it, SO that the
muscles governing the swallowing i'm
pulse will sooner or later send it down
the throat automatically or involun-
tarily.
1T will be difficult without actual
demonstration, says Mr.. Fletcher, ito
convince the advocates of total absti-
hence that any whisky can be taken in
a seemingly harmless form, but it is
true that thorough insalivation Of beer,
wine and spirits until disappe by
Involuntary swallowing robs them of
their power to intoxicate, partly be-
cause appetite will tolerate but lit
tie.
As matter Of fact, whisky taken in
this analytical way is sure means of
breaking up desire for 1t, and It is an.
excellent protection in drinking as well
as eating. Many Of our test subjects
have been steady and some have been
heavy drinkers, but persistent atten-
ton has cured all Of them of any de
sire for alcohol. and In time 1t surely
leads to complete intolerance of It.
It Is also true that, taken in the
way suggested, the body refuses to
tolerate more than sips and thimble

habit IS the best possible insurance Of

and so lead to state in which crime
is more readily committed.
The respective careers of the Indian
tribes OF. the Pueblos and the Apaches
afford an Illuminating comparison. The
Apaches were notorious as deyastators,
Warlile raYagers, merciless slayers.
They We're most ravenous eaters of
meat.
'aThe Pueblos We're home builders,
dWelt in established villages. They
worked industriously. They titled the
soil, a peaceful agricultural people,
and their tribe exists today in mate
rial numbers. The Pueblos have al
ways been moderate in their eating.
Consuming very little. meat, they have
subsisted for generations on different
kinds Of grains and other vegetable
products.
In Japan during the Tokogawar pc
Rod Of about 800 years the simplicity
of the diet and life Of the nation
found marked reflection in the Grim
inal records of the country. The mod
crate diet, consisting chiefly of rice,
fish and fowl, was responsible for the
practical elimination of crime as Sc
rious factor in the economics of the
country, as witness that in one year
in a total population of 36,OO0OV
people only 5000 cases of criminal &C.
tiyity were brought before the au.
thorities.' -
Those 5000 cases were principally
of the minor class of crimes, known as
misdemeanors.
Overeating Lowers Morality.
Mr.. Fletcher went on to state that
nations and tribes that indulge inn
moderately In foods and gorge them
selves with meats produce the largest
number Of criminals compared to to-
tai population and exhibit a lower
degree OF morality generally. Their
death rate, moreover, Is proportionate
sly larger than that Of other countries,
and intemperance Of varying sorts IS
shown to increase. His arguments do
not necessarily demonstrate, nor does,
he SO claim, that ell crime produced
by improper diet proceeds directly
from the blight Of overeating or that
Of eating IN an improper manner In
many cases there may be an interme-
diate stage produced from which, IN
turn, actual crime may result For
instance, intemperance as to alcoholics
may result from efforts to- overcome
the effects Of improper amount OF or

or bad effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night.
Swamp-Root is not recommended for
everything but if you have kidney, liver
or bladder trouble, it will be found just
the remedy you need. It has been thor

OF the dietary evils Of the hour IA all
lands, He pronounces the late Premier
Gladstone's rule Of Chewing every
mouthful thirty-twO times as based
on false theory. The number Of times.
food should be chewed varies accord
ing to the nature OF the food. Thirty
two cheWs might do for some sorts Of
pabulum, but others might require
300 or 400 to prepare them for involun-
tary swallowing. .
Saving Millions For the Public.
The tremendous campaign Mr..
Fletcher Is waging against interna-
tional dietetic protiigacy has a vital
economic side. Under his system the
amount eaten by the individual is SO
much less in amount and cost and the
Increase of the efficiency of the indi-
vidual Is SO markedly increased that
all classes of persons can add to their.
usefulness while reducing the cost OF
living. Owing to the thousands of per-
sons following the teachings Of ..the
man of many chews" today 1t Is esti-
mated by recognized statistician that
Mr.. Fletcher. in enabling them to cut
down their food bills 40 to 60 per cent,
has brought about a saving Of over
$20,O0OOOO a year in the United States
alone. And his propaganda has spread
wider proportionately in foreign coun-
tries than In America because Of his
long residence In Italy
Another competent statisticfan is
authority for the statement that more
than 100000 families are saving from
dollar a day upward as the result Of
the practice Of Mr.. Fletcher's teachings
This estimate was made more than a
year ago, and the number is increas-
ing in geometric ratio
Students Of political economy are
amazed at the possibilities of fetch
erizing as contributor to the ma
tons good. When nine Yale univer-
sity students, Messrs. Bauer, Edwards,
Lagerquist, Lawton, Mike, Parmelee,
Reeds, Taylor and Weyman, were
formed into an eating club to test Mr..
Fletcher's claims that he could in
crease their physical endurance
through proper mastication, many pro-
fessors scoffed. Yet at the end of the
test period Irving Fisher, Phi D., pro-
fessor of political economy at Yale,
wrote yoluminous report, in which
he said, "Our conclusion in brief is
that Mr.. Fletcher's claims are justi-
fed.

Demonstrations at other institutions
in England, Belgium, Italy and Amer
lea have shown conclusively that Mr..
Fletchers teachings produce unmis-
takably the following results:
First.-Reducing half Of the former cost
of nourishment
Second.-An increase of so per cent to
200 per cent in physical endurance
Third. - Immunity from sickness and
that tired feeling
Fourth.-suppression of craving for al.
coholic stimulants.
Fifth.-Suppression OF morbid desires.
SiNth.-Restitution of nerve soundness
SeVenth.-Elimination of various poi
sons from the body, natural purity.
Eighth. - Progressive recuperation Of
muscular and mental tone in those al.
ready past middle life who had begun to
decline, renewing youth and memory.
Nlnth,-ReneWal of native assurance,
confidence and ambition.
Tenth.-0ptifnisn and happiness instead
of pessinlism and unhappiness.
A Gentleman Of the Worlds School.
Theodore Roosevelt has said that
Sour greatest national physical asset
is our national health No man is do
ing as much to put American health
and happiness bonds above pal. as the
discoyerer Of fetcherizing-thi man
who persistently refuses to consider
financial return for himself to be i'm
portant. Quite remarkable, quite I'M
belieyable one might say, for re-
former to be laboring purely for re-
form and not with motives of gain.
Yes, quite remarkable until one meets
this unassuming gentleman of the
worlds school, who has lived without
losing his ideals, who uses his wealth
and talents and time to uplift not only
the poor, but the rich as well, and
whose one weakness is kind heart
The personality Of Horace Fletcher
is greater force than any of his
teachings, any or all of his books or.
his theories, for all of these are but
outer manifestations of his personality
and character. They are but frag-
mentary testimonies Of the spirit
which actuates him in dwelling in the
diminutive rooms Of the Phipps tene-
ment, giving free instruction in living,
with lessons in hope, to the stricken
poor, while his silk cushioned Condo
|alas swing idly in the tide at their
moorings beneath the marble balconies
Of the Palazzo saibante. on the Grand
canal.
