The Fletcher system of Eating.

|
 Those persons who have suffered from indigestion-and who has not at some time in life?-take an interest in the Fletcher practice,' said a profes- sional man, "and all such will be glad to read the news of Dr. George U. Ur- quhart of Chicago on the absorbing subject of diet.
 'Dr. Urquhart was in Washington the other day and to a representative of the Post he said, in discussing the American ailment indigestion: Eat what the appetite craves. Chew it most thoroughly until it dissolves in the mouth Stop when your appetite is satisfied and you will be healthy. This is the Fletcher system of living."
 " Fletcher is man. continued the Chicago physician, who was turned down a few years ago on applying for life insurance because of stomach trouble That frightened him. and he began to think over the question of what he ate and should eat. He came to the conclu- sion that food swallowed before 1t is dis solved is very much like cinkers in the turnace-likely to cause trouble and the use of a great deal of energy in getting rid of it.
 '' So he decided to chew everything he ate until it had thoroughly dissolved in his mouth. If any solid matter remained oughly he treated it as he would cherry pit He did not restrict himself at all in the mater of food When he sat down at a table he asked himself the questions: What is 1t I want most :? What makes my mouth water?' Then he ate that thing slowly and chewed it. as l said And he always stopped as soon as his appetite was satisfied.
 s" He found that in this way he ate far eating. His health grew very much bet ter.
 The Fletcher method has not been adopted in many of our hospitals yet. I have been trying it for the last two or three months in certain varieties of cases with obsese patients. They grow fat be- cause they overeat. They overeat because their appetite demands more and more food. Under this system their appetites are satisfied with far less food than they have been in the habit of eating and the | superfiuous flesh falls off.
 "1t is useful also with thin persons, | who have been bolting down their food and contracting indigestion in conse- quence. They eat less food, too, under this system, but they get fat under 1t. 'I do not indorse the Fletcher theory absolutely. I should not try 1t on all pa- tients Fletcher thinks, for instance, that unearned appetite is an evil. He thinks | you must do some work before you are entitled to have an appetite. Consequently he fayors small or no breakfasts. This theory has not as yet been proved to be | conclusively correct !"

Regarding O,Near's Probable Major

Regarding ONenI's Probable Majority.
 'I hear various estimates of ONeaFs majority" said man of political ex- perience, "but those who are putting 1t at 30,G00 or more are not going to be disappointed. Some men are fig uring on 10000 to 15.000 majority for O'Neal, but when the returns are in 1t will be found that Marcus Weils fore east publish about To days ago was not a bit too high. He predicted that ONeal would carry 50 of the 67 coun- tise In the state and that Mallory would have small majoritles in most of the counties in his column.
 While a few prominent men who helped to defeat the amendment last fall are now supporting Colonel Nal lory. the mass of the people who voted against constitutional prohibition will vote for Colonel ONeal and not only so. but a large majority of the men who were disfranchised last fall be- cause of unpaid poll taxes are now qualified; and a very large majority of these voters are for ONeal."

Chicago, July 16.-What havoc
cupid has wrought with the hearts
of Mary Mannering, tht actress, and
Frederick E. Wadsworth, millionaire
Detroit boat builder. is a question
which troubled friends of both yes
terday when each denied, refused 20
deny and hesitated over rumors that
they were engaged.
These two of the most talked of
divorces in the public eye today
added mystery to the romance into
which popular belief has thrown
them by Offering the public the same
stereotyped excuses and denials.
Il don't care to deny it, said NJ
Wadsworth at his home in Detroit.
1T makes a man look like a cad"
at is a foolish rumor and l don't
care to deny it," said Mary Manner
ing. as she stepped out of her dress
ing room at the Garrick theatre just
before the curtain rang up. 1T
makes one seem so cheap to deny
such stories"

Better KEEP away from her." ad-
vised her manager, E. B. Triton.
"She is pretty sore She denied the
story positively this morning. 1 don't
know why she refuses to deny IL
now, but I will wait until after the
show to ask her"
There was a rumor about the the

day. but Miss Mannering refused so
much as to frown when asked to con-
firm the rumor.
