SAYS OVEREATINC
KILLS AMERICANS

Overeating cripples and kills and
the American people are fast being
injured by the pleasures of the table,
is the view of DR.. BOardman Reed. a
retired physician. as published in the
Diatetic and Hygienic Gazette. Of
New York.
The physician, who now makes his
home at Alameda, Cal, says that he
is giving this warning in the hope
that Americans will heed His note
Of alarm follows the recent report Of
the New York Board of Health for
1910. which slows. as interpreted by
the Registrar Of Vital Statistics, that
the increased death rate in certain
diseases is due to lack of proper care
in the taking Of food and drink.
while the average span of life is
being heightened" writes the doctor,
-by the better care of babies, by the
recent marvellous advances in both
medicine and surgery. and especially
by improved sanitation for the entire
population, including a stricter quar-
antine against contagious diseases
the ailments largely attributable to
over indulgence in the pleasures OF
the table arc constantly increasing"
DR.. Retd mentions appendicitis, OBJ
esity, liver dicease, rheumatism. dia-
betes, eczema and neuresthenia. He
also declares that cancer and insani-
ty are on the increase at an alarm
ing rate among the highly civilized
nations, although rare among saw
ages, who must pelsorce fare less
sumptuously.
"To Irrational and unscientific
fashionable dinner" continues the
physician, besides providing for
such an extraordinary and harmful
amount of stimulation with resulting
oveffndulgence, contains in its nu-
merous proteid courses a proportion
Of albumenous substances. amount
ing often TO one-half OF the whole,
instead Of the fifth part Of the tenth
shown by the experiments Of Chitten-
don and others 10 be all sufficient for
iaboring men. Such a dinner with
its exciting accessories usually pro.
vokes the taking of an excess Of the
sUbstantials.
breakfast in the majority of
American families is also excessively
hearty. The luncheon is often nearly
as superabundant as the dinner and
generally equally unhygienic.
"rhen, at the top OF all this, our
society women when they entertain
callers or go out calling themselves
must have afternoon TIA, with cake
and candy. Finally, 81 the frequent
fstherings or after .ie play or tho
opera, there must be a supper Is ii
any wonder that our social leaders
break down while yet young or in
middle life. And that our states
mon and masters Of .iaancs so often
die suddenly II the age when they
should be AZ their pest? Even that
turgh old japanese sailor Admiral
Togo. was knocked ou' by one short
round of American dinners"

NOTE OF WARNING
 TO ALL SHIPPERS Industries Will be Dangerously Crippled if Cars Continue
 to be Held Up

Believing is letter of warning rel. atfve to the alarming shortage or ems to cripple industry unless every effort is made to avert the impending danger.
 The letter is issued by j. Nj. Belle vile, president of the National Indus trial Traffic league and is addressed to all railroads and shippers:
 The National Industrial Traffic Lea que, representing practically all com mercial orga aniza tfons and shippers throughout the United States, appre- ciates to the full value of cooperation by it's members to the end that freight equipment, during the period of extra ordinary traffic movement predicted, may be utilized to the grea test de gree possible. It accordingly has is- sued a, circular calling the attention or all it's members, and of all shippers and receivers of freight, to the neces- sib bIe, of limiting orders for cars both as to the time of ordering and num- bering of cars ordered to actual neces- sities. and of loading and unloading patch.7
 Similar circulars of warning have nlercial bodies, and by Traffic Man agers of practically all of our large industrial concerns. members of our Organiza ton.
 In addition to the above action, and as supplementary thereto. the League now wishes to call upon the railways ana urge them 10 QO Chelr even LlOTe important part in the matter by mak- ing adequate and thorough prepara+ tions for the threa tened shortage There are certain places in the co'an- try where, to-day, a. ongestion4 of freight is reported, at least to the ex- tent that prompt transportation and switching service are not being fur nished on account Of congestion in freight yards or other. railroad causes.
 The League urges the railroad com panies to make special efforts in1ms- diately to clean up their roads com pletely; to employ all the extra forces necessary to put their freight equip ment-end their motive power, particu- 'larly switching power in as complete repair as possible, and to hurry for ward all proposed additions to side tracks, yards or other work that have been laid out, so that when the enner- gency comes they will not be delayed by heavy construc ton work that SO seriously delays traffic, also to urge upon their operating departments the simportancezof promptly unloading coal and other material for com pany use. By appropriate and concerted action of carriers and shippers. the coming expansion of business may be an un- alloyed blessing through the elimina- ton of the congestion-t delay and ear shortage that in the past have almost. so invariably accompanied extraordin-3 T ary traffic movement, and have so seriously restricted 'Progperity.'
 What is inperatively needed in the present crisis is real co-operation of the broadest kind, and for this the Ma tional Industrial Traffic League stands ready. #s T A E BST
