ABOUT BOARDING HOUSES AND SUCH. | There is much to be commended in this advice, from a physician, printed in a Brooklyn newspaper: “Never eat unless you ape hungry; always skip a meal if you have mo appetite.” Thousands of intelligent so- called human beings eat -themselves inta early graves, but rarely, indeed, does anybody voluntarily starve to death.” :It has been contended by some of the early writers that the nearest map approaches to spiritual perfec- tion the less he eats. ' It has also been observed that the good dle young. As they are not accused of eating themselves into early graves there is a discrepency somewhere in these two ideas.” Those who over-eat are gluttons. They are bad. So the holy folk say. .Those who, over-eat dig for themselves early graves, Therefore, the bad, not the good, die young. The functian of eating ls receiving more and more attention every day. Probably' this is because. of the war. Foodstuffs are running short. Crops aré not as’ plentiful’ as:the demand requires. There Is a world-wide shortage of food.

The. . propaganda now directed against the elimination of waste in faodstuifs could have no better slogan than this of the Brooklyn physician: “Never eat unless you are hungry.” No appetite, no meal.. Carrying on the same ‘line-of thought, Never sleep unless you are lxeepy. never, - rest unless you ‘ro uua ‘We have come to tho conclusion that there is an extravagance of eat- ing in the human'family, This has been brought about by the custom of. soing to meals at’ certain stated inter- vals. Whoever originated that custom started the practice of killing off the human race through faulty feeding. "Getting back to nature, man. gen- erally follows the animals of the field, Living in their pristine state, no re- spectable cow, or horse, or sheep, or even a dog would answer to the breakfast bell, or the dinner bell, or the supper bell. These are the folk who never eat unless they are hungry. If they have no appetite for any par- ticular meal they skip it They, seemingly, eat when the spirit moves them, when they so desire, | * So far as we have been able to as- certain, the three-meal-a-day sched- ule now in vogue in America was first formulated in boarding schools and later perfected in boarding houses. The idea in the first place was not so much to gppease hunger as to curb appetite. lere never was a healthy boy or girl in & baarding school who could not, if permitted, eat at_least one meal more than the law allowed. The dinner and supper bells always ring one hour or 8o too late for these youths. The least said about profes- sional boarding howuses, the better. We believe with the Brooklyn physician that men and women should never eat unless they are hungry; that they should always skip a meal when they have no appetite. But we believe, further, that appetite can be coaxed along, or ruined, just as the individual desires. A little exercise now and then will help the poorest appetite; just as the lack of exercise will help destroy the best. Hence a good argument for Uncle Sam’s plea, “‘Plant a Garden.” Mr. Bryan's Loss.

WOULD DRAFT PHYSICIANS, Volunteer System Fails,- Council of Pefense Is Informed- ‘Washington, June 25.—The draft- ing of physicians selectively upon a ‘basis of federal classification by a medical census similar to the one recently taken in New York state, in order to obtain them for the Medical Reserve Corps, is urged by Major Karl Connell, Major Richard Derby, and Captain Frederick Van Buren of the New York Committee for Nation- al Defense, Medical Section, in a re- port to the Council of National De- fense. They hold that the volunteer system of recruiting physicians has been a failure. . Coincident with phis recommenda- tion it was made khown through the Committee on the Council of Na- tional Defense that there was a de- cided shortage of physicians ‘who were ready to volunteer’ for war work. In a report to the General Medical Board of the Councll, the committee sald strong efforts were being urged through the state organ- izatlons to obtain these medical offi- cers. A Seasonable Gift.
