tCentral Press Corresponding
WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.-when
q doctor ~prescribes the same diet for
q Lot OF his patients, presumably his
theory Is that they viii thrive on IL:
not that the diet will thrive on the
patients.
Even though the medico especially
dayors some particular foodstuff. TIE
only fair inference Is that he bellec-s
those patitnts need plenty of 1t.
Not until we learn that 1t Is a

II his natural desire TO improve the
market for IL may not have influ-
enced him (of course unconsciously)

not follow then that there Is any
thing the matter with 1t as a food
stuff.
No Less Valuable
On the contrary. quite likely 1t is a
firSt-class focdstuff and a first-class
diet. The fact that the doctor is
making a mighty good thing out Of
the combination, as a side line TO his
practice, does not necessarily de-
tract n whit from its value.
Take the recently celebrated "16-
day diet" for instance?
Assistant Surgeon General r. G.
Williams, dietary specialist of the
United States public health service.
speaks exceedingly well OF citrus
fruit.
He mentions II merely as a series
of condolences that the 18-day diet
appears to have originated in Holly
wood, that 1t is a diet especially rich
in citrus fruit. that Hollywood is in
California and that California is a
great citrus fruit state.
All this proves nothing whatever
against the 18-day diet. DIR. Williams
agrees He goes no farther than to
say that 1t May be harmful. How2
Well. explains the doctor. individuals
vary and the things that all them
vary, too.
At best. as he points out the suf-
ferey certainly cannot cure himself
Of q disease which really afflicts
him, by mistakenly dieting for
something else that he Is not a VIC
tim Of at all: and at worst his diet
is liable to positively aggravate hts

A physician should first determ-
inc what the illness Is and then

assistant surgeon general.
AS for folk who simply are over

just q few dishes alone.

either. he adds. for a pound a week
IS about enough. no matter how fat
one may be, o. the reduction will be
weakening; readjustment should be
gradual. For folk In sound health.
appetite Is a pretty reliable guide.
That rule Is not to be overlooked,
observes the specialist.
Agricultural Surplus
Finally. we must not forget that
these are times OF an agricultural
surplus. Farm production Is food

public to eat 1t up7 It that is pos
