result?

The champion Watertowns OF the

pennant winner, at Sheboygan on Sun

Three costly errors on the part OF the
Chairmakers' inner works in the fifth,

proved to be enough to win for Bert

"HOOVERIZE" FOR HEALTH.
| Personal interest, as well as patriot
ism, dictates hearty response to Mr..
Hoover's program of partial fast days.
1t will not hurt us bit, therefore, as a
part Ut our cont ibution to national de-
tense TO endure triHing privatlon or
to develop taste for perfectly good
articles of food which have not been
popularized, hitherto.
There is something about the Hoover
idea and the manner in which the
people are responding to it that sug-
gests spirit OF what might almost be
called religious consect alton. This in
turn suggests the part that fasting has
played in practically all of the old
religions. There is very good reason
for believing that, as religious rite,
it has had as great health and political
significance as religious.
In the early days Of civilization, the
priests, as the best educated persons
n their respective communities, were
the physicians and health officers as
well as religious leaders. This being so,
what could have been more natural or
commendable than that they should
have given to some of their health
rules, the force of sacred religious ex-
ercses and disciplineY
1t may be true, also, that in their
function as statesmen their regulations
were inspired in part as food conserva-
ton measures similar TO our present
one. Certainly one cannot read the
Old Testament without being impress
ed that famines were frequent enough
to cause grave concern to the public
leaders and teachers.
Nothing is detracted from the force
of fasting either as religious or a
patriotic exercise by the knowledge
that it is health exercise as well.
Possibly, it will be shown some day
that the general participation in
wheatless and meatless days has con-
tributed something cutting down the
prevalence of kidney and heart al.
seases which have apparently been
very much on the increase for the
past few years. If $50, this would be
some payment for the direct suffering
and loss of life war is responsible for.
