Fads in Food.

Fads in Food.
From tbs Chicago Tribune.
A man who has won considerable pub.
licity as a faddist in food theories was
taken to hospital the other day in q
serious condition as q result of his
method of living.
The man had announced that 2s cents
a week was enough for q person to spend
on food. He set out to prove it by SUBJ
Isisting on limited rations of oatmeal
crackers. The doctors now declare that
he brought himself to the verge of death
from starvation by this mode Of living.
Other faddists in the East recently
claimed fasting a cure Of all sorts of
diseases. They would substitute fasting
for the surgeons knife, and the operat-
ing table. Usually the faddist proved to
be a man with Temperament" He
also knew the art OF the press agent
At the close OF a lengthy interview to
the newspapers on how cancer or some
equally malignant disease could be cured
by fasting. the man advertised new
novel or play which he was just finish
ing
Once these faddists get into the news
papers and advertised themselves thor
oughly they suddenly dropped out OF
the public eye. Among the nearest
friends It was known that they had re-
turned to the old-fashioaed idea Of three
square meals . day.

Can Pick Married Couples
By Bored Expressions.

If YOU desire to get line on how
little companionship there Is be-
tween the great majority of hus
bands and wives watch them a the
theater. or at the restaurants. or
any of the other places of public
amusement You will see them
sitting UP in a silence so thick that
YOU could cut it with a knife,
yawning in each others faces be-
tween the acts of the play. and
stuhing themselves on bread and
butter al the restaurant while they
wait for their order to be served
Not a word have they to say to
each other unless they get into =
scrap about what they shall have to
o7t. or whether they put the cat
out Of doors when they left home
In any company you do not need
diagram to show you which are the
married couples You can pick
them out by their bored EXPIRES
sions.
Then did YOU ever notice the pit
iful paucity of conversation in the
home? Husbands and wives seem
to have literally no topic in COM
mon except the bills and the chill
