economizing his own health. For
nearly everyone will agree with Miss
Annie s. Peck, the world famous
mountain climber, who says that
most people not only eat altogether
too much, but die wrong kinds of
food.
Miss Peck as a mountain climber
has had to make a study of her diet.
While living in New York City she
has been highly successful in getting
the greatest~amount of strength from
the least amount of food at a cost
of twenty-five cents a day. Some
times she eats at a restaurant where
she can get a small steak, potatoes,
bread, butter and coffee for twenty
cents. But she does much of her
own cooking. Buying her staple gro
ceries in fairly large quantities, thus
getting them much cheaper Fruit
cereal and coffee form her break
fast. A cake of milk chocolate, a
banana or a dish of oatmeal with
raisins in it she finds a satisfying
luncheon. Her dinner she gets at a
delicatessen shop where she says she
can buy enough for fifteen cents to
last two days.
Miss Peck has stated that on such
a regimen she has kept in excellent
trim and that she finds a generous
