commonly discussed. the whole subject Ii
but vaguely underI .0od.
The fundamental fact Ii that most
people eat too much. II isSprobahly no
exaggeration to say chat the average
person consumes twice as much food as Is
needed to supply the needs Of his body,
This, of course, is to put the case very
crudely. Mrs. Jones, for instance, may
consume less protein than she properly res
Yquires, while taking into her system three
mines as much carbohydrates and fats as
she ought, A suitably balanced diet Is
much more important than quantity,
The Public Health Service says: "Re-
fore commencing any plan for reduction,
one should observe carefully for several
days the quantity eaten at meals and be-
tween Iu6d1Ss Tile nGNJ lining TO 90 Ia
% to eat Is to so per cent less, and
(2) to avoid fat-making foods" !,
But (says that high authority the re-
duction should not be too rapid. A loss
of one to one and half pounds week
is satisfactory, and from four to six
months should be allowed for reduction
of twenty-five pounds. Slow reductions
are more easily, accomplished, and the
weight is more easily maintained at the
final level reached. In other words, the
tendency to renewed accumulation of
fat is less.
Most of us have had opportunity to OBJ
serve instances in which very fat persons,
wen advanced in life, have lost flesh with
great rapidity and left this world soon
afterwards. In such cases it is disease
that is accountable. It may be diabetes,
or cancer, or disease of the liver. The
malady impairs "metabolism" ri. e., the

and the only thing FOR the afflicted person

Conspicuous instances Of this kind are the.
fiat ladies' yefitable mountains of

museums. They never live long.
TO be greatly overweight Is sign of
physical degeneration. On the other hand,
to be much under-weight Is an Indication

show his keep, Or The doeant make good
use Of his vittuaIs." The latter phrase
expresses the, fact with remarkable &C
curacy, though crudely. What It means
Is that the processes Of metabolism are
imperfect.
Extreme cases Of this kind are repre-
sented by freaks of another type, the
sO-called Giving skeletons, They are
victims of chronic nialnutritioh, more
than half starved to death though supplied
with unlimited food.
Inasmuch as (according to figures COM
piled by the Public Health Service and
by life insurance cOmpaniesl women, on
an average, live nearly four years longer
than men, it may reasonably be imagined
that In the days of the Biblical patriarchs
there were female persons who attained
ages even greater, than were reached by
the patriarchs themselves
Certainly the average persons chance
of reaching the century mark is so small
as to be negligible. Of 1000 female chill
dren born, thirteen live to be ninety years
old; but only seven in 1000 males attain
that age.
However, the moral of the story here
recited is that, if one is anxious to survive
to an advanced age, one should avoic
the accumulation of too much fat. e.
cess weight tends to impair health an
shorten life. Better to look forward 81
being skinny old man or woman ever
somewhat skeletonized toward the end
than to die earlier from an overload of
adipose tissue. In a word, stay thin and
live long.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-01-14

easily get rid of the excess. and there is
consequent danger to health. Which also
means danger CT shortening life.
Did you ever notice how q very fat
person puffs and pants inlgoing upstairs,
arriving at the top more or less breathless
and exhausted? It is because the heart
Is so encased in fat as to interfere with
its proper functiOning. 1t has difficulty IN
pumping blood through the lungs fast
enough to keep it well supplied with oxy-
7 gen when even a little more than ordi-
nary exertion is required. u Hence the
breathlessness.
That is one of the chief reasons why
excess fat Is undesirable. 1t sccurnulates
about the heart, 1.-THE liver, the kidneys
and other vital organs, impairing their
working efficiency. Naturally, the older
q person gets the more serious such inn
pairment becomes.
The over-fat person is carrying around
something that he is not using-so much
surplus baggage, as it were. As already
explained, It is derived from carbohy-
drates (starches and sugars) and animal
and vegetable fats. Butter Is a familiar
animal fat olive oil is an equally familiar
vegetable rat. rats OF elLhef KIND are
much more fattening than any other food
substances.
But the stuff in feeds that builds our
tissues and makes our blood is something
different 1t is called protein" What
is to be said about that?
Protein is not stored in the body; it
cannot be so stored. Nevertheless, too
much of it is Dad for health. In the early
half of life an excess of proteinis burned
UP in the body furnace and, disposed of in
that way. Later on, nature does not SO
easily get rid of it, and surplus of it is
liable to cause indigestion, headache or
skin eruptions.
This is matter that demands recog-
milton, especially by elderly people; for
the older one gets the harder it is to get
rid of an excess of protein Foods that
are exceptionally rich in this element are
meats, fish. eggs, beans and peas.
Space is lacking here for the giving of
detailed information about the con-
stituents of foods. Anybody who wants
it can get it by writing to the United
States Public Health Service, or to the
Nutrition Division of the Department of
Agriculture, with request for publica-
tions on the subject.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-01-14

OF the body to digest and utilize food
properly, thus tending to bring increased
fairness.
Therefore, persons who suffer from
overweight should take steps to get back
to a normal weight, the regaining of
which promises improved health, greater
enjoyment of life and more years to
i've"
Take look around and observe for
yourself. You do not often see a very
old person who Is very fat. Why?
There are two reasons. One is that
most of the very fat people do not live
to be very old. The other Is that fat
people who live long lose much of their
Tat In the later years of life.
Grover Cleveland, when President, was
also, like Mr. Taft, very fat man. Long
before his death he lost most of his sur
plus flesh.
As everybody knows, the fat-maLing
foods are starches. sugars and fat. They
serve as fuel to run the body engine. If
more of them are eaten than are needed
for that purpose. the surplus Is likely to
be stored in the body in the form of fat.
The latter may thus be regarded as so
much stored fuel.
A limited reserve of such stored fuel
Is desirable. In case of wasting illness
It can be drawn upon to help keep the
body engine going. But beyond that
point 1t is simply so much excess baggage,
so TO speak, interfering with physical
activity and even obstructing the-proper
functioning of the vital organs.
Up to middle age person who is over
tat may get along very well, the surplus
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-01-14

being no more than an inconvenience. But
after that time of life 1t becomes stead
lily increasing discomfort, and even dan
ger. Old age cannot carry excess weight
without detriment to health.
The point is that excess fat Is just so
much useless material which the body is
obliged to carry around. Nature will put
up with it in the earlier half OF life, as
she puts up with other things which in
later years she will not endure. But as
time goes on she resents the overplus
more and more, and her objection to 1t Is
liable to show itself in the form of dis
ease, or in a general physical deteriOra-
ton which represents a progress toward
the graveyard.
The typical very aged person is thin to
the point of attenuation. That is q de-
scription which will apply to almost any
man or woman you know who is we'll
along in the eighties. Such an individual
may seem hardly more than skeleton,
with muscular tissues SO shrunken as
scarce to cover the bones decently, as one
might say; yet he, or she, may enjoy really
excellent health, with a good digestion
and satisfactory working Of the vital
organs.
Now, nature, being abhorrent of excess
fat late in life, will commonly try to get
readiest way 70 dispose OF surplus of
stored fuel, Thus a person who is over
fat at fifty may be, and ought to be, much
thinner ten years later.
But nature needs fair chance. If the
over-fat person keeps on stuffing himself
with fattening foods the body cannot

at the age of 68 years. Death
was due to pneumonia. He was

ANDY the packer has passed

who was friend to all, a kind
