DAILY DIET HINTS
BY DIR. I. j. ALLEN
Food Specialist.
EATING SLOWLY.

Cereals and vegetables should
be eaten very slowly. Vitality is
wasted by hurried eating. But
the benefit from thorough mas
tication is not so much In the
conversion Of starch to sugar In
the mouth and in avoiding the
work of reducing food In stom-
ach and intestines as in the ef-
feet upon the nervous system.
The relation between food and
thought is intimate, retroactive.
Hurry Is worry, poise is a con-
dition Of health. Measured eat
Ing balances the nerve supply
and that means, other things
equal, health. Measured eating
is q natural sedative-to be
taken with each meal.

THOUGHT AS LIES RUDDER.
New Year Sermon by the Rev. John
Reed Shannon.

With the statement that "cur thoughts
are the rudder OF our life'' Rev John
Reed Shannon began series OF New
Year sermons to young people at the
Metropolitan NJ. f. Church. He described
thoughts as forces more real than granite
mountains. Low, groveling thoughts lay
terrible assessments upon the body. Catas-
trophies in moral life come because evil
thoughts have been cherished. The tree
falls in the storm, it's trunk breaks
asunder and reveals the fact that decay
has been going on within the tree weak
ening it, Men fall because moral decay
in the form of evil thoughts, has been
going on in their minds.
High. wholesome thoughts have for
the body preservative and curative
energy; they are better for ones physical
condition than drugs.
"All the water on the outside of the
ship cannot sink the ship. 1t is water
on the inside of the vessel that imperils it,
So the Christian is morally safe so long
as he keeps evil thoughts out of his mind.
Then he can keep his robes unspotted
from the world
IF a mans life is like broken harp
whose strings jange out of tune, the
cause is found in his thoughts. If a

AIMS TO EvANeEL|zE WORLD
J. C. WHITE HOPES FOR MIL
LION CONVERTS YEARLY.
Urges z. M. C. A. and All Christians
to Donate Price Of Postage
Stamp Daily.

How to reach the very last man in all
the half billion of men now outside the
church was explained to an audience of
Y. NJ. c. A. men yesterday afternoon in
Masonic Temple by J. Campbell White
of New York. general secretary of the
laymens missionary movement.
Mr.. White predicted that the time was
near at hand when missionaries would
million converts year. He contrasted
this with the work of a century to gain
a million converts. and the work of the
twelve years between 1896 and 1908, in
which a million souls were turned toward
Christianity.
He said that If the 1900 missionaries
now at work are able to bring under the
Christian influence all the men within
their various spheres. 3o5.0O0,000 more
converts will. he made in this present
lifetime.
Mr. White said that not less than
s50,oO0.0O0 was expected from the United
States this year.
IF each church member in the coun-
try should give the price of a dish of ice
cream "a week to us we would nave the
money; or a postage stamp every day,
I'VE have gained commercial suprem-
acy" he continued. That is conceded
primary religious responsibility of the
entire Christian world will rest upon us,
even If it does not now?
Washington is not only the Capital
of this country. but in an important
sense is the religious capital of the
world What is more fitting than that
the campaign to be opened in six months
time should start here? 1t must be done
upon national scale.
Now the churches are deciding to
double and triple their donations. The
history of the work has been one of
great progress. although there is a Gu
rious notion i'll the popular mind that
missionary effort has been more or less
abortive. John Sleman. who has been on
the, ground and has first-hand knowledge,
can tell you better than that"
Mr.. White was introduced by Commits
sioner Mcfarland, who spoke briefly on
the future Of Washington.
AS the result of Mr.. Whites visit to
Washington the Twenty-four-hour-a- da y
Club the missionary organization of the
local Y. NJ. c. A., will .redouble efforts
toward keeping at the head of subscription
lists. A social will be given by the club
