POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. Frederick r. Green,
Editor of Health"
OUR NATIONAL CRIME
n HE most common mistake of Amer
u leans is oyereatinp

THE most common mistake of Amer
= leans is overeating.
With all our grumbling and COM
planning there is probably no country
in the world, today, where the major
ity of the people get as much to eat
as in this country.
The three kinds of food in which we
are particularly prone to overindulge
are sugar and starches, which are very
much the same, and fats.
The consumption Of candy, Ice
creams and soft drinks, all containing
large quantities of sugar, has enor-
mously increased In this country In the
last 25 years The general use OF
white breads breakfast foods and 9TH
er cereals has also increased.
Our forefatners, who were raised on
diet of cornmeal, whole wheat bread
made of home-ground -four, bacon,
ham, fresh meats, eggs and fresh vege-
tables, did not have an opportunity Of
eating the quantities of sugar and
starches that we have on every hand
today.
Now, sugar and breakfast foods are
good foods.
The trouble is that we have retained
our forefathers' diet and have added
our present-day improvements, instead
of using the present forms of confec-
lions and cereals as substitutes for
some of the older forms of diet The
&c thof
allowance and are suffering therefor.
Fat is the surplus food which the
body does not use and which has to be
carried around as extra weight.
During the years of growth the body
needs plenty of food for proper nutri-
ton and body building, but after growth
and development are completed only
enough food is required to replace the
natural loss and to keep the body func-
tioning properly.
Every extra pound is q handicap.
Stand on the corner of any crowded
city street and watch the people go by.
1t doesn't matter whether you select
Michigan avenue in Chicago, Fifth
avenue in New York, Commonwealth
avenue in Boston, or Market street In
| San Francisco. Neither does it matter
whether you observe people in the
tenement-house district or on the bou-
levards.
The great majority of Americans are
overweight.
We are eating too much because we
have 1t to eat and we haven't learned
yet to eat what is good for us rather
than to eat all we can get.
And this in spite of the fact that the
best evidence obtainable shows that
the individuals who live longest and
| enjoy the greatest activity and the
best health are the hound dog" type
lean and lanky and why.
Avoid fat If you want TO live a long
and healthy life.

FATIGUE

WHAT is fatigue? What happens
when we get tired? Everybody
knows the sensation, but just how is It
caused? What does it mean when we
say that we are "all in," and just what
has happened to us?
In the first place we have probably
not had enough fresh air, or, putting it
the other way around, we probably
have had too much air that wasn't
fresh, too much stale. vitiated air.
We have probably stayed too long
in rooms that were overcrowded or
overheated.
Then our eyes have probably been
exposed to glare from unshaded lights
that fatigue the muscles of the eye and
make us feel tired
Or perhaps we have been sitting too
long on uncomfortable chairs or
benches.
1t doesn't matter whether we have
been in an Office, factory, or a thea
ter; sitting too long at time on seats
that are improperly adjusted to our
bodies is firing, whether we are work
ing or playing.
Maybe our clothing IS uncomfortable.
In spite of the freedom of present-day
dress, such as the 1apper costume, for
instance, many people still wear I'M
comfortable clothing, especially uncom-
Portable shoes. which restrict the mus
cles and cause irritation End fatigue.
Perhaps we have been sitting too long,
walking too long, or playing too long
and have so tired out one group of
muscles without resting them by using
another group.

persons who were Irritating or annoy

When one is tired, his resistance to
disease is lowered, so that his suscept-
Utility to infection is increased.
The sensible individual, when he Is
unusually tired. instead of going to the
theater, the ballroom, or the crowded
public places for recreation, will lie
down in quiet, cool. well ventilated
room and rest until his mental and
physical balance is restored.
He will then be not only in better
condition to enjoy his recreation, but
he may also guard himself against pos
sibility of a serious illness.

London-German opposition to the
program for launching the Dawes plan.'
laid before Chancellor Marx and his
colleagues, is not expected to be d.
rected in the main against the actual
agreements arrived at in the Downing
Street conference room, but rather
against an issue which has been kept
entirely outside of the conference
that Of military evacuation of the
Ruhr.
According to high American au-
thority, there are but two points in the
program to which the Germans can
raise even a technical objection, one
Is the extension of deliveries in kind
Of coke, dyes and coal beyond the Yer
sailles treaty date of 1880. The other
is arbitration of the question whether
financial maneuvers are taking place
in Germany to defeat the functioning
of the Dawes plan.
On technical grounds both of these
objections would have to be consid-
cred. Extension of deliveries in kind
beyond 1890 were anticipated neither
in the treaty nor in the Dawes plan.

Meat Costs Laid to HOUSEWIFE

Chicago-The lazy housewife who
will not study cookbook to learn to
prepare all kinds of meat in all kinds
of weather is blamed for the high
prices of meat by the United Master
Butchers Association of America, in
convention here. Coats meat would
help lower prices, if housewives would
only learn how tastily 1t can be pre-
pared, they say. The passing of the
market basket and the waning of that
day when wives delighted in frugal
marketing for the family table is an
other cause of high food prices.
