ailments. Thin people are prone to
eat too often. and fleshy people too

Interest In food matters has brought
about remarkable transformation In
the American dietary In recent years.
We are more careful about the foods
we buy: we have learned to examine
labels more cautiously. to demand
what We want and not accept substi-
tutes Of ''iust-as-good" foods. As a
rule we are more moderate In our
meals. But there IL still room for i'm.
provement.
People not handicapped by obesity
are learning that up TO q certain limit
the less often they eat the better.
Many sufferers from stomach trou'
bles have found complete cure simply
by adopting the two meals day sys
TEN. Others who have restricted
themselves TO one meal day have
obtained even more remarkable re
suits.

day Ia enough for all except those In
cliued TO accumulate flesh too rapidly
such persons usually find frequent
eating beneficial. provided the NEAL
consist OF the non.fattening foods. TIT
only reason for advising the flesh!
person to eat often Is that It impair
his appetite and prevents the assimi
lative organs from converting thu
food into fatty tissue.
Once a person becomes aecustome'
to cutting down the number OF meal

the old three meals day system. II

and that he has better appetit
than he ever dreamed Of having.
One does not know how good foo

diet In this manner for q while. Their
returns a relish to the foods not O.
perienced since childhood. And die
arians agree that food benefits us

good Il does Us. The exception hold
again for the over corpulent perso
whose appetite is generally too goc
and needs curbing.
