the stomach by q chute. how could
one feel when he had enough? Only
by the sense OF pressure or oppres-
sion. II food Is eaten very slowly. that
Is. naturally. there is registry on the
nervous system that causes the flow
OF Just the right secretions to digest
II and a sense OF satisfaction comes
as the amount the system actually re-
quires Is ingested. But suppose one
must catch a train or hurry back TO
business? Then one must use the
chute. In the quick lunch room. IL
the mind Is more on the danger OF
missing the train or OF not being able
to write all the letters-you are pre-
pairing for the hospital. or the sani-
tarium. II the habit is long continued.
Eating is delightful But to enjoy
II you must have good old crust Of
bread. and-yes. a little peanut but
ter. not 10 make Il slide down easier,
for that is what you don't want. Like
the man who doesn't often enjoy q
good glass OF whisky. because he can't
get II often. you wish your throat
was q mile long" You want with
your delicious crust a fair spreading
OF the best sauce, real appetite, not
that gnawing, "all.gone" sensation that
results from overeating but the gen.
uine, old-time, schoolboy appetite, and
you will never really enjoy your work
or your play again till you get that
kind OF appetite.
How? To begin with learn TO eat
only two square meals" as advised
In the preceding article. Rooseveltian
sport is good, even In homeopathic
dose. Eat as few things at time as
the present state Of civilization will
permit, and let 1t be largely live, that
is, uncooked food. And eat what you
eat. Don't chute It! Taste II. Keep
every mouthful in the mouth as long
as you can, even II 1t is soup or milk.
but the harder and dryer the food Is,
the better can you comply with this
rule.
Now have used my space for the
treatment of leanness and / haven't
said word about what TO eat to grow
fat. II is useless TO eat the right food
II you don't eat right and think right,
and water, air, and exercise right.
Fat makes fat. The Eskimo hasn't
brains enough nor business enough to
worry, and he eats fat and grows fat.
Fat is produced in the system from
other food, but II certain amount of
fat is supplied, 1t is directly assim.
ilated, and saves digestive work. In
living on proteid only. as meat, one
makes the needed fat from that. but
the product produces a severe
strain on the kidneys, auto-intoxica-
ton is encouraged, and rheumatism,
Bright's disease, or other disease due
to kidney failure (heart failure, per-
haps), must in time, ensue. Fat can
more easily be made from the car
bohydrates. starch foods. bread, ba-
nanas, potatoes. etc., and fruit sugars,
prunes, figs, dates, ETC., but oil is
worth about two and half times as
much for heat and fat, and II little
more than the system can use Is taken
II does little harm, but great good in
facilitating bowel action. Nuts. the
chief natural food, contain, on the
average, so per cent. fat and We shall
yet learn the sad mistake OF the race
in substituting so much starch, es-
pecially In fine white bread, for. fat
and fruit sugar (not cane sugar.. If
your staple diet is not largely nuts,
take spoonful of vegetable fat with
a glass of hot water or cocoa an hour
before the morning and evening meal
fat coats other foods and interferes
especially with proteid digestion. A
spoonful or more may be taken, how
ever, with buttermilk made from
good unskimmed milk, especially in
stomach disorders. Olive oil Is much
better than animal fat, but the most
easily assimilated oil is peanut oil
not peanut butter, for that contains
much coagulated albumen. but refined
peanut oil Take half teaspoonful
of peanut butter, beat 1t with q table
spoonful of peanut oil. add pint of
warm water and you have a perfect
vegetable cream. which a year-old-
baby will assimilate better than milk,
and 1t Is clean. fit food.
Don't en-, more than two ounces o.
proteid food daily (uncoagulated), and
prefer toast to fresh white bread.
Avoid mush. Prefer baked potatoes,
