Statistics recently published on cancer state that the large proportion of sufferers from this dread disease are among the rich and well nourished. Even ten pounds of overweight is a menace to health. A decrease of a pound or two a week is a most simple matter. Cut down on the fats and sweets. Eat everything you like but stop eating after a reasonable amount has been taken. Again, Fletcher says, if we cut down our food, we would be well nourished, live longer and feel better. It Is such an Important habit to form early, the one of well masticating the food. Begin with the and the problem will be settled forever for flesh one-thir- two-year-o- that child.

Food Is what produces human energy, physical and spiritual. Food Is what builds the body and conditions the f growth of the mind. By means of proper victuals the blood maintains its neutrality, the heart its regular beat, the nerves and muscles their ready response to every impulse. The f dyspeptic has always been remarkable Jfor his Jaundiced temper and erratic ways ; the anemic man marked by his flack of virility. Chronic Indigestion means chronic mental depression, ac- 1 cording to Doctor McCollum, author of "The Newer Knowledge of Nutrition, and he on to say: "Intolerance 1. tends to goes develop in those who are continually in low spirits, and there can be no reasonable doubt that the diet Jmay deviate in the United States to ta degree which can easily cause the fresults we see." l However much you may feel that our appetites determine what you jshall eat, there is ultimately very little free will for most of the world In the hoice of food. Most men are born to a certain bill of fare just as they are born to their racial environment. For the average man his diet, like his religion, Is largely a matter t of tribal custom, and it persists more strongly 4than his hereditary Ideas about God. It Is as inescapable as childhood mem-lorie- s. r It lasts through his life, even though he wander far from home. The Bostonian who has resided In the Middle West for the last thirty years still Icherishes an attachment for the beans and brown bread, the clams and the jclam chowder of his childhood At home you must dine according the family customs; in Rome you eat as the Romans do. The ijinust e of every one Is unconsciously limited by the community he lives in. PeopIe eat what their neighbors eat, fand will continue to do so whether the effects are good or bad. It becomes almost a matter of This Jwas illustrated in the recent epidemic Kf in southern China, where the coolies continued to demand instead of unpolished even ter the former was shown rice, to be the rause of the disease.

Fresh onions and lettuce should be a dally diet In any growing family; lettuce is rich in vitamins that promote growth. Grated carrots added to any fresh lettuce salad, or served with a few chopped nuts and a bit of finely cut apple and a good dressing Is a good one to serve often, especially when cooked carrots are refused. d slice or two of crisp slice of toast, butbacon, a half-inc- h tered with a generous amount of butter, an egg and a cup of coffee with a tablespoonful of thick cream, will make a good breakfast, if slowly masticated. A doughnut may be added for the thin person but is not necessary. Going without a meal seems to be a good method for some people, but It Is not wise to cut down on the food too rapidly at first, let the body adjust Itself gradually to the change. In a few weeks the normal weight will be A from Germany. Whereas France, with Its piquant cookery, has borne a nation of volatile wits, among whom have been Rabelais and Voltaire. On the other hand, a species can be strengthened by better diet. Japanese children born in this country are uniformly taller than boys and girls of the same age in Japan, where there Is practically no milk supply. Milk is always a great factor in producing physical size and strength. The vigor of pastoral peoples is well known. In the high pasture lands of central Asia the Aryans and Mongols developed. There, in a climate of extreme heat, cold and drought, originated the virile people who have conquered climate and soil in every direction more favorable to easy existence. Abstemious nomads, who knew no indulgence and were every year brought face to face with the disaster of scanty rainfall, they left their homes In wave after wave and dispossessed their neighbors in more fortunate lands. The Arabs, who are a direct survival of the early Aryan tribes, are well developed, athletic, courageous In caring for their flocks under trying conditions. Their cupboards contain meat, cereal and dates, but chiefly they live upon soured milk goats and camels milk In the form of cheese and dried curds. The Cossacks, too, who are noted for their brawn, eat a great many dried curds. From such facts Doctor McCollum is led to generalize: Wherever dairy animals are abundant in proportion to the population, fine physical development is seen." Fine mental development does not always accompany it, we must add. For the Kaffirs of South Africa, drinking quantities of milk, are perfect milksops, while China, entirely without dairy products, built up one of the greatest civilizations the world has ever known. It Is hard to say just what foods will accelerate the mind, but It is perfectly easy to tell what will clog mental and physical , activity notably, too much meat and too few vegetables. In some ways a strictly carnivorous diet is good, Illustrated by the Lapps, who live almost wholly on reindeer herds and fish. They are a short, heavily made people, of good body development and great endurance. So were the primitive Eskimos, who, subsisting also on a carnivorous diet, did not even have a word for toothache in their language until seventy-fivyears ago. But these people have the same, reluctance as carnivorous animals to exerting themselves. Like the well-feHon or tiger, they are lethargic and remain Idle as much as possible. They work only when hunger makes them, and they never think, except under strong pressure. Doctor Grenfel e d v states that the Eskimo is a poor fisherman, and will catch only one fish to a white mans ten. This is attributable In part to intoxication from poisons of bacterial origin, due to putrefaction of proteins in the Intestine. The meats of industrial nations, It different from those The latter people. of an animal, and the vitals as well, whereas our meats consist chiefly of muscle-cut- s steaks, chops, joints, etc. But in either case, excess produces lethargy.' Consider those Britishers who live upon mutton and black pudding, and know the reason for their stolidity. It used to be supposed that meat was what made a man and prizefighters were fed raw beefsteak to make them doubly ferocious. Now we know better. Green , vegetables, once considered harmless, appear to have a much more savage effect. We hear how the Turks will arise from a meal of cucumbers, and go out to massacre Armenians. The vegetarian, after all, Is the man to be feared ; and we feel how fortunate it is that no people is strictly vegetarian, In the sense that certain animals are. Since food can so affect the behavior of races and persons, it follows that control over a mans diet means control over his conduct. Prison authorities have always known this. They feed the convicts saltpeter, which, as the exact opposite of an aphrodisiac, keeps down riots in the jails. This offers an interesting suggestion to housewives who have not yet discovered that the hand that fills the larder is the hand that rules the world. In the kitchen, the mother of a family has a power for good and evil which she hardly suspects. But if she will only select three wise, meals a day, she may expect that the home fires will not fail. is true, are very of a carnivorous eat all the flesh the marrow and well-mixe- d Surgical Pencil Among the most Interesting pencils made is one intended for the use of surgeons.

Add a teaspoonful of peanut butter to French dressing, smoothing It Into the oil before adding the lemon juice or vinegar; It adds greatly to the flavor, if one likes peanuts. For those who are too thin, there Is another problem. Plenty of butter, cream and eggs. Potatoes dressed with cream and butter and all easily digested foods are necessary. Especially valuable are the green leaves, lettuce, endive, and all green vegetables. Here, too, long mastication Is necessary, so that the food may be properly absorbed and assimilated.

Put the onion in the salad bowl and pour over four tablespoonfuls of French dressing; with a salad fork and spoon turn the slices of onion over and over in the dressing.
