How Much Shall Eat2

Harvey w. Wiley. formerly chief of the
United States bureau of chemistry, writes
an interesting article entitled Intelligent
Eating" in the October Woman's Home
Companion. He says in part:
Every pound of useless fat which the
human being carries is ar impeachment to
proper activity. A man six feet tall
should weigh approximately 200 pounds.
II by strict attention to his diet and eX-
ercise he can reduce this weight to 100
or 1S5 pounds 1t would probably pAove
beneficial, but II his weight is allowed to
rise to 210, 220, $50, or even 240 pounds,
he units himself to that extent for his
duties.
Let anyone who is accustomed to
physical exercise, and suited thereto,
climb a long steep hill. If his weight is
normal and his health good, he can do
this without any great fatigue; and car
ry a weight of 40 pounds, and note the
effect that this will have. The man who
weighs 40 pounds more than he should
and there are thousands of them in this
land of ours-is forced constantly to car
ry this quite unnecessary handicap.
Food for special activities or special
public or private duties, is a matter
which has not received any very great
scientific attention. No set amount of
food can be arbitrarily chosen for the
brain-worker or other professional man,
In general It may be said hat a man of
little exercise will eat less than one per
cent OF his weight OF dry food per day.
Any marked excess of food, or excessively
starchy or sugar food, must also be avoid
ed by the man and woman of %sedentary
habits"

MADAM Butterfly" Nov. a..

The presentation at the Auditorium
Thursday evening, Nov. IA, will be
Giacomo Puccini's beautiful masterpiece,
Madam Butterfly" not only one of the
most amous works of all the modern
composers, but probably the most sue
cessful and popular opera produced
within the past decade. When this
composition was brought out first a few
years ago, it Immediately captured the
entire musical world, for it has double
the appeal of scholarly workmanship on
its score, which wins the approval of
the most critical listeners, together with
exquisite melodies, melodic beauties
which can be enjoyed and appreciated
by the average person with little or no
musical education. Added to all this, the
story Is one of the most romantic ever
incorporated into a grand opera libretto,
founded on the play of the same name
which was one of the greatest Belasco
successes. The drama, by David Belasco
and John Luther Long, was founded on
one of Longs charming short stories
of Japan, and the libretto for the opera
was constructed to follow the same plot,
scenes and dramatic sequence as they
had already given in the play.

CROPS OF VERMONT.
Valued at s27,447, 900 in 1909, an Increase
of Sill Per Cent.

The total value of the crops of YER
mont in 1909 was $27, 447. 900, according
to a bulletin soon to be issued by Director
Durand of the bureau of the census,
which gives the complete results of the
agricultural census for this state with
reference to crops. This was 5l.l per
cent greater than that in 1899.
There was practically no change in the
total acreage of crops for which acreage
was reported. there being a decrease in
the acreage of the cerals and OF potatoes
and an increase in that of hay and for
age and of vegetables, other tina ,pota-
toes.
The general character of Vermont ag-
riculture is indicated by the fact that
only 81 per cent of the total value of
crops in 1909 was contributed by the ce-
reals, while about three-ffths (59.5 per
cent? by forest products. The remainder,
representing in value 17.5 per cent OF
the total, consisted mostly of potatoes
and other vegetables, maple sugar and
syrup, and fruits and nuts.
The Leading Crops.
The value of some leading crops was.
hay and forage, SIG, 1886. 900; potatoes, ST.
743, 900; oats. 81, 1853, 900; and corn, 81, 102,
900. Vermont appears to be declining as
a grain growing state, and about sta
tionary in the production of hay and for
age. y decrease III corn acreage is
shown in 1909 as compared with 1879,
while wheat has slightly less than one
thirtieth of the acreage in 1909 that 1t
occupied in 1879.
Vegetables.
In 1909 the total acreage of potatoes
and other vegetables was 80, 40S and their
value 50, 615, 900. Excluding potatoes and
sweet potatoes and yams, the acreage OF
vegetables vas S54S, and their value
SS72, 900. both acreage and value being de-
cidedly greater than in 1893.
Small Fruits.
Strawberries are by far the most i'm
portant of the small fruits grown in Yer
mont, with raspberries and loganberries
ranking next. The total acreage of small
fruits in 1909 was 469, and In 1899. AIS, an
increase of 1872 per cent. The production
in 1909 was s26. 900 quarts, as compared

England Invaded by American Automo-
blies.

The invasion of England by American
automobiles has alarmed their manu-
facturers. n they v found out why
We can make cars cheaper under a pro-
tected tariff than they can under free
trade. An English manufactures who
came over to attend the Detroit meeting
of automobile engineers gives his views.
He tells his associates hat the American
car Is by no means a result of cheap la
Dor or of cheap material. The cars, he
admits, are of excellent quality. Pro-
lection of the motor-car industry ~
recognized as the cause of the good
times for our manufacturers, the tariff
being such as almost entirely to shut
out foreign cars. The visitor found
that the reason why American cars can
be made so much more cheaply than Is
possible in England lies mainly In the
absence of trades unionism here. In one
factory the Englishmen noted that 80
men were employed merely in putting In
shafts, while the work of 20 men in the
same factory was confined to putting
pistons on engines. Any man, he found,
could be taken out of the streets ana
trained in two or three weeks TO do a
certain job in the American shops.

Orchard Fruits, Grapes and Nuts.


The total quantity of orchard fruit pro-
duced in 1909 was 1,492, 900 bushels, VAL

nearly all of this quantity, and pears

The total value of maple sugar and

quantity of sugar beets and sorghum cane
was produced for forage.
Forest Products.
The census schedules for 1910 called
