Dr. Wiley has written another important series of food articles for the readers of The Star. In this series he tells what to do wity food. That is, the right thing to do with food. There is a wrong way to handle the very best, the freshest and the purest of foods, you know, and it is against that way Dr. Wiley is striking. To begin with, he will tell what dieting is, and what good|nas been a success?” is accomplished by it, sick or well.

He will trace the history of a bite of food from your teeth tlear through your body.

Therefore it behooves one who would eat food to eat the’ : right kind of food, in the right place, in right amounts, and at the $ P age right time. Dr. Wiley will try to make clear the answers to the ques- tions arising from the preceding paragraph. The first article on dieting is published today.
