NOT help considering to be an ex-
tremoly greedy one. However, trif-
ling may be the function, society will
not willingly patroni2o II the proceed

and drink"
Among the men OF present day ar
fairs, too, the theory that pessimism
and even ineffectivenoss go hand in
hand with overeating is actively held
by David Belasco.
Half mans efficiency" said
he recently, comes from an empty
stomach. A man who is overfed acts
sluggishly, thinks sluRgishly and is a
natural pessimist I think II is GER
tainly true that the average man eats
TOO much and that his work suffers
accordingly, Whenever | have a par-

my eating"
And Mr., Belasco's ordinary scale of

sufficient; for luncheon an apple and
piece OF pic eaten while he works.
For dinner some chicken, some salad
some ice cream and some apollinaris
water often constitute his meal This
would seem 20 suggest that "A high
activity Is not in the least interfered
with by this very modest scale of diet,

In fact, all the leaders Of the the

a day viii suggest,
Breakfast, two eggs, coffee, hot
milk but never cream; luncheon, a
sandwich and couple Of apples; din

cream, coffee No liquors no wine.
II will be remembered also that
Russel Sages usual luncheon was a
couple OF apples, and he attributed
his long lie largely to his sparing

the reasons for his success the habit
Of eating little and laughing much"
The usual preface OF n working day
for Senator Depew Is one egg, slice
OF toast and an orange.
The Athletes food.
Those athletes, too, who have made
study Of health suggest that the
high cost Of living would lose many
OF its terrors II the average person
ate properly. william Muldoon Is
very emphatic upon the influence Of
plain food In not too great quantities
upon health.
