How He Would Eliminate

Side of His Campaign. -

The poisoning OF mind and body,
hence the lntoxication resulting from
overindulgence In meats, is very sim

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 "the 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"

"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 a 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.
ut will be difficult without actual
demonstration" says Mr.. Fletcher, ito
convince the advocates Of total absti-
nence' that any whisky can be taken In
seemingly harmless form, but 1t is
true that thorough insalivation of beer,
wine and spirits until disappearance by
involuntary swallowing robs them of
theiv power to intoxicate, partly be-
cause appetite will tolerate but lit
tie.
"As a matter of fact, whisky taken In
this analytical way is sure means Of
breaking up desire for It, and 1t Is an
excellent protection In drinking as well
as eating Many of our test subjects
have been steady and some have been
heavy driukers 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 1t.
at is also true that, taken In the
way suggested, the body refuses to
tolerate more than sips and thimble-
fuls of these liquids and then only on
rare occasions, so that the epicurean
habit is the best possible insurance of
temperance"
To insufficient mastication and disre-
gard of the teachings and warnings Of
appetite Mr.. Fletcher attributes most
of the dietary evils of the hour In 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.

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
Apacnes were notorious as uevastators,
warlike ravagers, merciless slayers.
They were most ravenous eaters Of
meat.
1.-THE Pueblos were home builders,
dwelt in established villages. They
worked industriously. They titled the
soil, 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
riod 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 total population Of 100000
people only 5000 cases of criminal &C.
tivlty were brought before the au-
thOrities."
Those 5000 cases were principally
of the minor class OF crimes, known as
mlsdemeanors.

Mr., Fletcher went on to state that
nations and tribes that indulge i'm
moderately In foods and gorge them
selves with meats produce the largest
number Of criminals compared to to-
tai population and exhibit lower
degree OF morality generally. Their
death rate, moreover, is proportionate-
" 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 all 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
improperly digested food. From this
intemperance or intoxication criminal
acts readily spring, as authenticated
prison and police court records con.
clusively reveal.

Yes, quite remarkable until one meets
this unassuming gentleman Of the

and talents and time to uplift not only
the poor, but the rich as well. and
whose one weakness is a kind heart.
The personality Of Horace Fletcher

The tremendous campaign Mr..
Fletcher is waging against interna-

amount eaten by the individual is so
much less In amount and cost and the
increase OF the efficiency Of the lndi-
vidual is so markedly increased that
oil classes OF persons can add to their
usefulness while reducing the cost OF
living Owing to the thousands Of per.

Mr., Fletcher. In enabling them to cut
down their food bills 40 to 60 per cent.
has brought about saving OF over
$20,000,0O0 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 statistician Is
authority for the statement that more
than 100000 families are saving from
a dollar 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.

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 n voluminous report, In which
he said, "Our conclusion in brief Il
that Mr.. Fletcher's claims are justi
fed"
