SCIENCE OF RIGHT EATING Fallaoy of the Theory, “Eat What You Ploase and Bo Healthy." HASTE AT THE TABLE TEMPTS TROUBLE pert on Athletics. Personal experience after a falr trial of Mmeveral diets carefully ohosen, carefully cooked If necessary and -carefully eaten, can be the only e guide. Yet theories a8 to the value of different foods may not be altogether valueless; they may save un- fortunate mistakes The man who has read a book on cricket 18 not necessarily a Grace or a Ranjutsinhji; he need not be able to play cricket. The man who has read—or even written—ea book on food or on physiology meed not know how or what to eat, or, at any rate, he need not betray by his way of living that he knows anything on the subject. There are many well known ‘sclentists” who can tell you all sorts of facts about tissues and blood, and whose diet would lead one to suppose that all these facts wi abso. lute lies. They will tell you the elements of the healthy body and will make no effort to seek these elements and these only when they choose their meals, or when they leave their meals to be chosen by supremely ignorant cooks. How vare is the man who writes and yet belleves! The Genlus-Eater, On the other hand, there are ignorant uninformed folk who keep practically every law of nature by & beautifully correct in- stinet. They know nothing about cancer, epllepsy, spoplexy, consumption, gastritls, ptomaines, toxins, acid fermentations. or even about protelds, parbo-hydrates or cel- lulose. Perhaps thef think that the last named is chiefly used for collars and ping- pong balls. They simply do what is right. Dyspepsia for them is a mere name, per- Baps they can not even afford it. These people are the bane of civilization. They are the genius-eaters, They say: “We only eat what we want to. We are healthy Therefore, you should eat what you want tg, what you desire to eat, what you in- stinctively hun for, and then you will be healthy also.” Hearing this advice from so able a rep- resentative of his creed, off loafs the red- nosed toper to the pub round the corner, for doesn't he want alcohol?—while the fat dowager pufls along to the restaurant and orders the very richest of sweet and fat foods and other such things?

It you are going to become healthy and vigorous you will have to get that notion out of your head. It is only the pure- blooded and strong-blooded that can safely trust their desires. And imagine what that means—to be able to trust your de- sires, to know that whatever you want to do 18 the right thing to do. You will have desires as powerful as those of the Aipso- maniac—caft you imagine ny stronge! and you will enjoy satistying them; but they will be good desires, and to satisty them will be your duty. That is what per- fect health means, and therefore to gain health {5 abundantly worth while, even it fou have to spend a month or six months or & year in doing it. Pleture it for a mo- ment. It 1s one's idea of heaven. Whai ever one wants to do, this one may do, and one should do. Surely there can be no other definition of perfect. health. For we do not always want to be pulling the relns and to be saying to ourselves, “No, you shan't!" Carefulness the Watchword. But till our blood is pure and strong we have to be watching earefully, resisting temptation, using up our energies in this negative kind of work Instead of creating something, instead of being something positively. Now the first thing I want you to under- stand is that, if you are at all unhealthy (and nearly every one is considerably so), then your feel are no eafe guide. And 1 will give you two absolutely convincing examples. My old friend Dr. So-and-So has treated 1 don't know how many cases of all sorts of fliness. He has many ways of restoring Bealth; one process alone he has applied to over 10,000 cases with the most wonderful effects. Water treatments and one or two meals a day are among his favorites. With the muck that he has drawn from the sys- tems of his patients he might have started a large—and, of, course, & successtul—drug shop. What drug shop is not euscesstul? Now he bad one gluttonous patient. She had finished her dinner before 8 o'clock one night and before 10- o'clock ehe demanded supper, saying that she could not sleep on an empty stomach. My friend mseured her that her stomach was amply stocked with dinner. She refused to believe it. He then gave her two es of hot water to drink, and by means of the stomach tube (please 40 not be shocked) he was able to prove to her conclusively that she had still Her Qin- mer within her practically undigested. After this she slept soundly, before this nothing would have convinced her that she was not empty. She had mistaken the craving for food—probably the result of acld fermenta- tion in the stomach—as & genuine hunger due to emptiness. She was suffering, not from dipsomania, but from pelnomania, it one maAy coln a new word. A word is needed for this dlstressing form of mad- Dess. One may doubt which of the three forms of madness s the worst, dipsomania, pelnomania or chrysomania, which is the destre for gold. An Historie Instance. Here is another instance, which has now become historical. It happened that & cer- tain soldier, Alixis St. Martin, had his left side 50 wounded as to leave an external opening at least an inch wide, through which the condition and some of the oper- ations of his stomach could be seen. Here & ohance for those who disapproved of ‘any vivisection except such as had al- ready been produced by war or some other means. Dr. Beaumont made seme very suecessful experiments. He found that the lning of the stomach might be so irritated aod inflamed as 1o be covered with ulcers and eruptions, and actuslly bleed, without St. Martin belog aware of the least suffer- ing and without his showing any sign of disease that any ordinary doctor would be able to detect. Is not this the most striking warning to us? We say: ‘“‘Such and such a thing dogs not hurt us so long as we take it in moderation.” We can feel nothing wrong, therefore nothing is wrong within us. But neither did St. Martin feel anything wrong, and yet here the eye could see the terrible results. The blood cireulates throughout the body and there cannot “exist this iliness in the stomach without the rest of the body being more or less affected. When St. Martin ate greedily and quickly, when he ate coarse food, the stomach became angry and dis- tressed. So Dr. Beaumont con-luded that an extensive, active chronic disease might exist on the membraneous tissues of the stomach and bowels without any appreci- able sense of pain or even of discomfort. If St. Martin had fd that certain things, let us say paper and mustard with ordinary porridge and beer, did not hurt him at all, and If Dr. Beaumont eould point out to you certaln things going,on and it you could see things with your naked eye through that inch-wide hole, would you belleve St. Martin or your own sight? Had 6t. Martin been absolutely pur blooded as well strong-blooded it is probable that the effects of any mistakes in food or feeding would have Immediately produced discomfort, in ¢he same way that those who dp not take arsenic will at once feel the effect of a small dose of arsenic, ‘whereas those who are sufficlently polsoned already will take without appre- clable difference a dose which might be sufficient to kill two or three peopl All May Not Trust Their Desires. S0 when one tells you try to tell your self so-and-so (you know well enough what) does you no barm think of St. Mar- tin, think of your blushing stomach; or, if the excuse should be “I want it because I am hungry,” ask yourself whether you might be llke the eupper lady—whether your hunger might not really be due to a kind of fever in your stomach. Remember how those who have typhold fever go nearly mad in their desire for large meals. No, it you are intelligent you won't trust your desires or feelings unless you are healthy. Then go ahead. You will get there some day, but before you do, you must walk warlly, Your inside is a much-enduring beast or series of beasts, and, when it does com- plain, it generally does so a long time after you have whipped it and bullled it. It often bears in silence injury after injury. What years of faithtul, pathetic brooding it must tolerate! And then at last it either growls or bites. In either case you say, “Ill-tempered cur!" It is really the cruel master tkat Is to blame. Treat the dog well, do not spoil him and do not etarve him and he will be your best friend. But there is another matter. You are probably not alone. You live with others, or you take your meals with others, and you do not want to upset all their arrange- ments, even if you can do so. Very well; then begin carefully; try a change for some one meal. See how the simpler foods with enough nourishment suit you for that one meal. Be sure that you get your staple food or basis of nourishment to take the place of meat. Let it be cheese or some nut- food, or perbaps peas or begns properly cooked. But for goodness’ sake do not neg- lect the materials with which to build and repair the body. May or May Not A sudder rush into a simple diet such a5 mine might perhaps agres with you perfectly, and then, again, perhaps it might nof, who knows?! It agrees with la numbers of people, I belleve, but that is all, and there is sure to be some opposi- tion, especially from those who have the very best intentions about you. And per- baps you bave mot faith in the diet; per- haps even all the athletic feats that have been accomplished on the simple foods do not convince you. You may be sure that you will die, your relations will agree with you, and baek you up (or down). All those who live with you may be perpet- ually {11, if they like, with influenzas, colds, coughs, headaches, grumpinesses. In such cases the explanations will be that these occurrences are ‘‘most unfortunate,” ‘‘so cruel,” *‘such hard lines.” But you, one day, living on the fleshless foods, may look pale. “My dear Augustus,” they will sa: or “My dear Saluberrima’” you are killing yourself with that stupld food of yours.” You have to be disgustingly well alwa and insufferably good-tempered if you want to justify your change. Clue to What is Likely to Suit. But one of the meals in the day of whole meal breed and cheese, slowly eaten and salad dressed with ofl and lemon (not vine- gar), or perhaps some milled nuts and fruits—that is not putting one out much and it will give you a clue as to what is likely to suit; and, if it should not sult, then there are many other varieties. But anyhow, even if you should find out that none of the dlets proposed suit you the one meal a day has not been such a martyr- dom. You will have taken an important step, you will have experimented. And on that you can be heartily congratulated. At first I only read of the slow-eating or chewing plan In a book by Mr. Horace Fletcher, an American, the father of the magnificent athletic clubs in America. I may tell my English readers that these clubs are huge buildings, story above story. In these bulldings there is a gymnasium on one floor, the gallery of which is used as a running track. Other forms of exercise may be had on the other floors. Mr. Fletcher is the leading exponent if not the inventor of the slow chewing plan, At any rate among western people. His idea is that we ought to masticate our food so long as it has any taste; to swal- low nothing foreibly, but to let the food swallow itself automatically. Mr. Fletcher has himself entirely gotten over the trou- bles of indigestion, constipation, depres- slon and fatigue, whether physical or men+ tal. His taste for various articles of food has become singularly acute. He gets the greatest possible amount of pleasure as well as nourishment from his meals, which now take him less than three-quarters of an hour a day. EUSTACE MILES, M. A. BIG CROWD AT KRUG'S PARK at Resort on Hilltop Opens with Every Indieation of Succel At 10:30 yesterday morning the gates of Krug park were thrown open for the season, and within the next few hours hundreds of pleasure seekers passed through them to enjoy the music, to study the “s00” and to witness special performances booked for the day and evening. Huster's band did the music act and did it so well that many were unable to per- suade themselves to vacate the seats about the band stand until the last number on the program had been given. Everyone voted the organization better than any band that had ever played at Krug's. Manager Cole and his energetic assist- ants, Hamilton and Byroe, were there with the glad hand and the good eye for the pleasure of all their guests. Every man, woman and child Was, given & special re- ception and made to feel at home, undred new monkeys were there for the children to feed peanuts to and it will not be the fault of the youngsters if a doc- | tor is not “monmkeying” around out there the remainder of the summer. —8ome of the children had & good time trylng out the the various | burros. Others had to be miserable watch- ing their papas and mammas take a turn at the shooting galleries and bowling alleys. At 3:30 and 7 o'clock there were balloon ascensions. In the evening the “Passion Play” was one of the interesting features of the program. Krug's park has opened successfully. Long before openiug time street cars were crowded with pleasure seekers bound for the resort. The management has nothing to regret and the indications are that the park will be more popular, it possible, than it was last year. Too Great a Risk. In almost every nelghborhood someone has died from an attack of colic or cholera morbus, often before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. A re- liable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has un- doubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more paln and suffering than any other medicine in use. It can always be depended upon. TRAVELS IN FOREIGN LANDS T McKay Returns Ye: D. After in Japan and Other Countries. Seven T. D. McKay, general passenger agent at Yokohama of the San Francisco overland Toute, is In the city conferring with Union Pacll Mr. McKay has spent the last seven years in Australia, the Philippines, India, China and Japan advertising his company and only recently returned to the United States. He talks interestingly of his travels in for- elgn countries and of the great improve- ment and progress of the people in the various semi-civilized places in which he has tacked his signs. “China,” he sald, “is making wonderful progress. The entire country is being cut up with rallroads and the people are waking up In a manner that is eurprising. In Japan 1 have met some of the brightest people that I ever met. Here is a nation that is progressive. It is wonderful how they can get onto things. Recently a friend of mine took a bicycle to a mechanic to be fixed. The mechanic had never seen one. In six days my friend called for the wheel and found that the Japamese had made him a new one exactly like the old. “The Japanese are gratified that the St. Louls exposition has been postponed one year, for they are to have & fair next year, and they will bring to St. Louls some of thelr exhibits. It will surprise the people here to see what they are doin In Australia Mr. McKay said he met the | most hospitable of people. “They treated | me royally everywhere and the newspapers were very kind to me,” sald be. In Manila, Mr. McKay, sald, a wonderful | improvement had been made since the Americans had taken charge. “The people are a pretty ‘foxey’ lot," he sald, “and those islands are attracting a lot of attec- tion. They have wonderful forests there | that will interest investors in a very short | time. I don't remember what they call the timber, but it is on the order of rose- wood and many people have thelr eyes on that industry.” Mr. Harriman Correets Himself. On reaching Chicago Mr. E. H.

At the next meeting of the Board of Education W. R. Homan will press for adop- tion a number of resolutions introduced by him at the last session which have reference to the system of bookkeeping which obtains in the office of the secretary. Mr. Homan in eupport of his resolutions says: “For several years there has beem in practice in the office of the secretary a sys- tem of keeping books based on the calendar year, while the appropriations of the board are based on the school year. To illue- trate, we appropriated this year the sum of $508,900 for the use of the city schools for the school year of 1902-3, beginning July 1, 1902, and ending June 30, 1903. When the February statement was issued 1 was surprised to find that there had been charged against that appropriation the ex- pense of maintaining the schools for the month of January, while, 1 sald, the appropriation, under the rules of the board, would mot become available until July. This has continued regularly since then, the statement lssued April 1, for the period of the first three months of the calendar year, showing that out of the appropriation made for the school year beginning Juiy 1, 1902, the sum of $167,597 had been expended.
