HOW TO ENJOY YOUR FOOD
Chew Everything for All Il 10 Worth,
and Get All Taste Out OF Il Be-
fore Swallowing.
By HORACE FLETCHER, A n. New
vOrir

By HORACE FLETCHER, A n. New
York, N. Y.
Sip and taste soup, and milk, and
chew mushes for all the taste there is
in them, and thus give the juices Of
the mouth (saliva), q chance to mix
with them. That 10 the right way to
eat, and If you eat that way you will
not only know how to eat, but you
will enjoy your food as you never have
enjoyed It before. And it will not
take much longer to eat!
At nrst 1t will take little longer
to eat meal, and fully satisfy the APP
petite, than before, but in little while
the Juices of the mouth will become
stronger and the taste will become
keener. and appetite will be satisfied
with much less food.
While you have eaten less food you
have tasted it more, and have enjoy
ed It much more.
Eating right is twice as profitable,
in two or three years. as eating
wrong.
Knowing how to eat, and taking ad-
vantage Of that knowledge induces a
person to be careful and always eat
right. 1t is the best life insurance in
the world. It doesn't cost anything,
in the form Of premiums, to begin
with, and hence there are no extra ex-
penses to pay. It results in eating less
food, but in eating 1t more. Eating
less means less cost, and eating 1t
more means more enjoyment.
Besides, eating right makes meats,
and other expensive foods, less pleas
ing; and bread, and potatoes. and
I vegetables. and fruits, taste SO good
that the appetite demands them In
preference to meat.
When a family begins Fietcherizing
faithfully; that is, when all the mem
bers eat carefully, as above advised,
the inclinations lead to the simpler
and cheaper foods, and SO much more
satisfaction is gotten out OF a less
amount Of food, that 1t Is safe bet
ting proposition that the cost of the
food for the family will be cut down
by one-third, at least. This is the best
way to "get the best" Of the terrible
High Cost of Living"
When you hear anyone say that they
haven't got time" to eat slowly, you
can assure them Of the following fact:
that in eating more than in anything
else, "haste makes waste" II you
have only two minutes in which to
eat, It is Of utmost importance that
you should eat SO as to get all Of the
taste out Of each mouthful Of the food
In two minutes. you can eat two good
mouthfuls in a way to get all Of the
good there is In them, out Of them. II
you have ten minutes you can gel
enough goodness out Of ten mouthfuli
to serve as a good square meal"
If you shovel in the food, or, gulp II
down, IL it is liquid, two-thirds Of Il
will have to rot in the stomach, OF
somewhere In the intestines. The rot
ted food takes different forms. Some
OF it becomes putrid. and II there is q
bad smell when the waste Of that
gorge" is expelled from the body. Il
Is a certain sign that you have mo-
eaten right.

Any corn just loves to be cut and
gouged, but it's mighty rough on you.
Plasters and salves usually take away
some of the toe with them, and leave
the corn to flourish.
The new corn cure "GETS-IT"' Is per-
fectly harmless to the healthy flesh, but
IL does go for corn, bunion, callous
or wart right off the reel. The corn
shrivels away from the healthy flesh
and drops off.
You can apply "GETS-IT'" in two sec

Pretty soon you'll forget you ever had
