The Palm Beach Post of Sunday,
under facsimile of Joe Earman's
genial features says;
"West Palm Beach resident retires
from Office as president of the State
Board of Health today. To Mr.. Ear
man goes the credit of having
brought the health organization out
of chaos into one of which the state
is justly proud. He saved the state
100000 and he brought the state lab
orat6ry to West Palm Beach. Mr..
Earman took Office on July 16, 1919,
on which date a constructive policy
for the board was started. With a
big balance TO the boards credit the
board, at the recommendation of Mr..
Earman, urged decrease in the tax
millage for health purposes, this
achievement being the only one of its
kind on record in Florida"

The Tampa Tribune clamors to
know who helped Cats issue all those
pardons. The Star had right smart
correspondence with members of the
pardoning board last year, and some
pretty straight information from peo-
pie close to the throne, and it figured
out that Attorney General Swearin-
gen was much opposed to pardons
and Controller Amos even more; and
that Secretary Crawford was so kind
hearted he would be likely to vote for
the pardon of the murderer of one of
his own children if said murderer
could put UP sufficiently pitiful wall.

Because of the Importance Of the
food question. what we shall eat and
what we ought not to eat, we have
been requested to set aside a little
space each week for discussion Of
this subject. This column will be con-
Quoted by Carl Gleeser. and any ques-
tions or suggestions along this ling
should be addressed to him. Editor.
IF anyone should make the state
ment that it does not matter what
kind Of material is used in erecting a
building, even people Of very little ex-
perience would at once decide that
the opinion Of such person with re-
spect to building operations would be
of little value. Now, did it ever occur
to the reader, that the part played by
lumber, bricks. stone, or concrete in
the matter of erecting buildings, in a
similar way the food ingested by hui
man beings serves in building human
organs and bodies?
Agriculturists know that plants can
not grow normally and produce an a.
bundant crop unless the soil either
contains or is supplied with the neces-
sary plant food. Stock growers have
learned that balanced and adequate
rations are essential to the production
of profitable beef, pork, poultry, etc.
Still, there are people who contend
that it does not matter much what a
man or woman eats. provided they
are supplied with enough Of the ac-
customed food, don't overeat, and
pay sufficient attention to the proper
mastication and insalivation Of the
eatables consumed.
Nevertheless, investigation and ex-
Fermentation have proven that a

THURSDAY NIGHT MEETING
is DIETETIC DISCUSSION

The regular meeting of the colon
lists which was held in the hotel was
steered along the lines of eating the
right and wrong kinds Of food. and es-
pecially the right and wrong way Of
eating them.
Mr.. Pickett opened the discussion
by saying that the Colony nurse had
reported an unusual demand for as
pirin and Iaxatives to cure headaches
as result of the increase in the meat
diet at the Colony hotel.
1t appears that during the last few
weeks the Colony has been butchering
Its surplus fat hogs and cattle. and the
meat at the hotel has been so plenti-
full that sickness is being attributed
to too much of good thing.
Discussion Of the processes Of diges-
ton by DR.. Stackhouse and Others led
to the suggestion that the colonists eat
too quickly, and an extension of the
noon hour to one and half hours
was suggested that there might be
plenty of time to masticate the food,
The question of whether an office
worker should eat the same quantity
of the same food as the farmer. arose,
and it was pointed out that many Of
flee workers had educated their APP
petites to the point of overeating,
without realizing the danger of such
practice. To obviate this tendency,
the cafeteria system was suggested
and it is believed that as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made
this will be done.
A column on dietetics in The Dem
ocrat was suggested as one means Of
handling the subject, and Mr.. Carl
Gleeser has consented to edit this de.
partment.

of the younger generation. to the
