EXCESS FOOD

Perhaps centuries ago some of the lords or barons overindulged in meat and game. Today nearly all overeating is in the field of cheap, plentiful, easy-to-eat carbo- hydrates. For instance, even after 8 square and satisfying meal any fool can still pack in a huge dish of ice cream> or toy with wedge of of cake, and most fools do.
 If only natural carbohydrate foods were available or included in the diet it is my opinion and belief, this abnormal desire or crav- ing for excessive carbohydrate would seldom occur. But the present day practice of refining the natural carbohydrate foods Especially re- fining wheat into white flour and refining sugar syrup, cane or beet, into white sugar. removes from the natural food constituents which are essential for normal metabolism, and the body reacts to the lack of those constituents by a vague de- prayed hunger or craving which leads the individual to taking still more of the food which should but does not supply the desired nutri- tional factors. This vicious circle, I think, explains why people get too fat on refined food, flabby fat which slows down and handicaps them in every way. It is not merely the ex- tra calories in a glass or two of sweet ened carbonated beverage or in piece of candy or in a dish of pud- ding. It is the constant nagging urge to take more of the same.
 It doesn't matter in the least wheather you take the purest sugar or a chunk of raw potato or a bit of cooked corn or piece of toast it must go through the ordinary course of absorption, digestion and assimilation anyway, and, provided you chew the solid food as you should, the end result vii be the same in any case-so much giu- cose, and only so much (probably less than 6 teaspoonfuD will reach the blood within so many minutes.
 Provided you chew the solid food, I said. This is a little health secret I offer especially to young persons who are putting on stacker flesh and to mature adults who are training for diabetes - that is adults who have perhaps inherited the tendency or potentiality and are doing what they can to help the tendency to develop into actual diabetes by putting on and holding betics cary ten per cent excess or moderate excess weight. Most dia- more for about ten years before they discover what they have been training for. The secret is this: If you masticate natural carbohy- drate food as you should you not only get the vitamins and minerals out of 1t but through insalivation during the mastication the starch or sugar is largely converted into maltese, soluble suguar, and this di- gestion continues for as long as an hour after the food( well masticat- ed) has been swallowed for, con- trary to the old belief that the acid reaction of gastric juice stopped the action of the ptyalin of the saliva immediately after the food entered the stomach, scientific observation has shown that some of the food in an ordinary meal may remain in the fundus of the stomach for an hour untouched by the acid secre- ton.

And instead of being able to sit in Washington issuing decrees from swivel chairs to cooperative, organized retailers, the price fixers will be forced to chase up and down the back alleys of the nation in vain attempt to catch black market operators.

NEW ENGLAND HOSPITALITY
Boston PoSt)

The boys and girls in the armed forces of the country, who come from all parts of the country, are lout in their praises of their treat ment in Boston. On the West coast a gerat deal of attention is given those in the service. particularly in Hollywood, but, for real hospitality, they say no place compares with New England, Unfortunately, the famed Southern hospitality does not seem to exist. so far as the soldiers are concerned, many of them say, Boston Is showing the way. and in so doing Is making new and loyal friends daily, friendship that will be lasting.
