I 1 i i ; rv : , PORTLAND DISCIPLE OF "FLETCHERISM TELLS OF NEW IMPETUS TO MOVEMENT Mordaunt A. Goodnougl Explains How His Master of This Old-New Science Discovered the Great Benefit to Human Health Derived from Economic Nutrition. M ORDAVNT A. GOODNOCGH, one of "Portland's enthusiastic disciples of Fletcherism, has given to this new-old science a most careful and dis- criminating study. In a talk with Mr. Goodhough lately he said, in speaking, of the .recent impetus given the movement: "Fletcherlsm is the name assigned to certain teachings of the now eminent Horace' Fletcher, whose writings' along social and dietetic lines" have obtained wide popularity, especially durinx the la?t two years. Of consummate impor tance is the new light Mr. Fletcher has Hhed 'upon' an old subjei-t, viz., mastica tion, and It Is to "the elucidation of this subject that the term Fl.tcherism- has been applied' ; '' "At the age of 44, Mr. Fletcher was fast becoming a physical wreck, as a result of the usual methods of living among those highly engrossed with business, club and social duties. His condition be ing such 'that he was refused admission to a life insurance organization, he be took himself to a serious-study of physi ological laws.- He soon learned that his troubles came from too much of many things, especially food and worry. Fol lowing along the path marked by Cor naro, who was the first to suggest eco nomic nutrition. Mr. h ietcher found a way ' to derive greater enjoyment :from a mall quantity of food than he ever did before from a large supply and at the same time to increase his physical and cental effectiveness. , Show ltapld Improvement. "Rapid Improvement In health, from the start," fully convinced Mr. Fletcher that his eminent predecessor, Cornaro, was right when ne asserted, 3u0 years ago, that practically everyone ate too much, some even six times as much as was their most economic need. Cornaro, also, was a physical wreck at middle life, at which time he adopted economic nutrition, and he lived to be 100 years of age to prove his theories. "But this all happened several centuries ago and Fletcher plainly saw the need of modern and exhaustive treatment of the subject. Although working alone at first, he soon rought. in 'the pursuance of his experiments, the association and col laboration of physicians and physiolo gists of the highest rank. Among these may 'be mentioned Professor Chittenden, of Yalo; Surgeon-Oeneral O'Rilev. IS. S. A.; Xr. , Kellogg, Battle Creek Sanator ium; Or. Somereh. of Venice; Or. Hig- gins, or camoritige; Professor Bowditch, of Harvard, and others. 'However. Mr. Fletcher's first published work. . "The New Glutton or ripicure.' was in general circulation before being ac corded full scientific and professional recognition. Still later. 'The A B C of Our Own Nutrition' was issued, which Is a volume of 2 pgs and contains complete reports Q the.' scientific experi ment which "have been carried on . for some years by Mr. Fletcher and his col leagues. Many thousands of private In dividuals have taken up the practice and Kill further verified the scientific ex periments. On nearly every -hand, en thusiastic indorsement has been accorded the movement. ; Should ;Take More Time. ' in actual practice among all classes. some, .difficulty has .been experienced in for meals, especially business men who feel that they cannot spare the time to masticate their food properly during the rush hour at noon. The practicability of Fletc'nerizing remains unshaken, even in such cases as these, for every one must admit that it is only the amount of nourishment which the system Is capable of assimilating from any given quantity or rood, tnat is. of value in sustaining life. The body gains more nourishment from a small quantity of food, thoroughly masticated, than from a larger quantity eaten with even moderate rapidity. The first step in digestion should take place m tne mouth, by means of complete in- nvation (mixing with saliva) of the food: this applies to liquids also; conse quently soup, coffee, cocoa and similar drinks, except water, are to be chewed. The business man, or anyone else who eats hastily will sooner or later suffer from the effects of food which is only partially digested in the stomach and either ferments or, later, undergoes Intes tinal putrefaction. Where Method Is New. "But what is there new about Fletcher Ism?' you say. 'We have, from childhood, been told to chew our food well.' Cer tainly in its basic principles, there is nothing new In Fletcherlsm; but the manner and thoroughness with which he presents the subject to us Is new. It Is a case of welcoming -with out-stretched arms an old truth, in new garb, which otherwise might pass unnoticed. Never theless, Fletcher has revealed some in teresting sidelights upon the subject which were not known before, or if known, were not known In their entirety. Among these may be mentioned the rela tion of normal appetite to the selection of such food as the body requires; the in voluntary swallowing impulse; the ln oftensiveness of the digestion ash, in per fect health; the complete exercise of the sense of taste and removing from the mouth that which is insoluble. "Fletcher asks of his adherents that they distinguish normal from false ap petite. Normal appetite always announces its presence in an unmistakable way, especially by watering of the mouth and the desire for some simple food. If one is really hungry, a crust of bread will taste delicious. On the y other hand, false appetite with its indeterminate cravings, imaginary hunger and 'all goneness' is merely a symptom of pres ent or previous indigestion. Having adopted the rule of never eating unless actually hungry, It naturally follows that we should ceaee eating when appetite Is satisfied. This is a difficult matter for most people and while the new Fletcher Ite may sometimes err with the rest of mankind, in overeating, he is not nearly as apt to do so. Gorging Is merely a habit, like the needless spending of money by the poor; with a little will morsel of food, which has been retained In the mouth some time, . is the most delicious and satisfying of all. "Under Fletcherlsm, the sense of taste will become more discriminating and presently you will enjoy flavors hitherto undetected, especially if "you have aban doned the foolish habit of using condi ments and spices to excess. No other form of gastronomic pleasure equals the Fletcher way of deliberately tasting simple foods, when really hungry. The old-fashioned gormands are simply not in the race. A modern revival of the old Roman vomitorium, where one could dis gorge after a big feast, might bo a happy thought for a certain class of our present population. The trick is easily learned and one can soon tit himself to accept all dinner and drinking invitations falling a .half-hour apart. That portion of the food which cannot be liquified after vigorous mouth treat ment, should be removed from the mouth; this would include corn hulls and the skins of peas, grapes, cranberries and any fibrous or tough substances. The tongue readily acquires the habit of re jecting that which is mere rubbish, which act, after all, need not be any more offensive to table etiquette than refusing to eat cherry stones. Acquire New "Impulse." "A most interesting phenomenon, in relation- to the Fletchsrite's act of swal lowing, is here to be obstrved; It Is the acquirement of the 'lrvoluntary swallow ing impulse' and, in connection, of a cer tain reflex muscular movement which not only prevents the too early swallowing of improperly prepared food, but moves the same to the front of the mouth for further reduction. The fauces (back of the mouth) will allow to pass only such food as has been properly reduced by in salivation -and mastication whereupon the food will disappear by an involuntary action fluite distinct from the swallowing now generally practised. Two months Is about the time required to establish the habit of correct swallowing. AVards Off Many Ills. "Fletcherlsm will markedly increase mental and physical powers in every way and, at -the same time, decrease the cost of food supply about half. Indigestion, constipation and numberless disturbances having relation to these complaints, are all impossible.

"Taking only small mouthfuls of food, then, you should chew, munch, taste, until the food is not only completely liquified, but Is also rendered tasteless by reason of the exhaustion of its flavor.

Nell Caulneld, of Chicago, who was hanged to a tree three times by Union soldiers during the Civil War be cause he was suspected of being a Southern sympathizer, anu whose death Thursday in Chicago was mentioned in Associated Press dispatches, was the father of Mrs. H.

Purchase of 30-Acre Tract at Gar den Home Ratified and AVork on New Plans "Will Begin. Ai.a well attended meeting in the of fices of rr. William L. Wood last night the old Portland Hunt Club formally dis banded and In its Dluee the new Portland Hunt Club Association was organized, and the following directors elected: R. B. lAi'naon. Dr. J, JC. Coghlan, Dr. R. J. Chlpman. Ralph" Jenkins and A. M. Oronin. Th object of the new organization, as set forth in The Oregonian several days ago, 4s 'to Increase the scope and possibil ities .of tlie famous riding club, which Uae iwretpfiffe been practically without a home. According to the plans of the new organization, -which last night ratified the proposed purchase of a 30-acre tract at Garden Home, the Portland Hunt Club Association will erect a handsome club house and build a half-mile track on the site. By possessing a track of its own the members of. the association will be en abled to hold a matinee meeting when ever they- so desire, and furthermore, will be atTordVd an opportunity of work- lng out their mounts on a well-ballasted track at any time they wish. In addi tion to the rnce-tr:ick the club also plans to build a polo ground and add this sport to the list it. Intends to foster. The in stallation of polo is one of the games of horsemanship with which Portland Is entirely unacquainted. As an innovation it will undoubtedly prove extremely pop ular with the expert riders of the club, of whom there are not a few. The site of the new clubhouse at Ciarden Home Is within 20 minutes of the city by the OreJgon Klectrlc Com pany's llne,, which passes directly In fnont "Of the property. Those who do not wish to go to the clubhouse by the cailine may drive out. lty this latter route it is but six miles, from,, the eitv, and the road Is in excellent condition for cither- driving or automoblUiig. . on the new grounds, in addition to the handsome clubhouse, will be erected stables and a garage for the accommodation of the members. The club will Install a first-class mechanic,- who will be In charge at all times. The stables will be built on the latest improved order and will be kept in good condition. An additional feature of the new association- Is feumK nKlde 10 of the 30 acres, which will ba dlideo into acre tracts and sold to members of the club for the erection of either Summer or permanent homes, as they choose. The site of these Summer homes will be facing the track and polo grounds and is almost identi cal with the location of the grandstand at the Portlaml 0untry Club. ' Alfeady several members of the club have slgnlned their desire to purchase the home sites and It Is thought the Vork of building these - Summer homes will commence about the time of the erection of ttte liew clubhouse. Launching the new proposition by members of the Hunt Club means the progressive advancement of this organi sation in many ways. The benefits ac cruing will more than repay the efforts and expense in securing the alte, for as Portland grows, the property enhances In valu. - - - - Thomas Hall Passes Away.

OW that Spring is here the athletes are turning their attention to the track and baseball. Track Manager Run yan expects to be able to pick out a number of good short and long distance men from the squad that turned out for the cross-country run Monday. Through the eltorts of Manager Dabney the base ball men and their friends have raised a fund to secure a coach for the devotees of the diamond. They are fortunate in obtaining Coach Hathaway, who got the basketball men into such good form. Mr. Hathaway reports " a good supply to choose from, as those reporting for prac tice run above 70 In number. The team will play a practice game with Multnomah on Saturday. Ten minutes have been added to the study period in the morning. The zeal with which the students apply themselves to their studies during that time seems to indicate that they appreciate the extra time for preparing their lessons. At the regular faculty meeting Tues day, Mr. Davis submitted the mid-year report received from the University of Oregon In regard to the Lincoln High School students in attendance upon that institution. The report applies only to freshmen and sophomores. There are 46 of our students attending the State Uni versity, not Including juniors and seniors. Of these, 17 are taking their major in some one of the engineering courses; 8 in economics. 6 in mathematics. 4 In English, 3 in German, a In French, 2 In the natural sciences. 2 In education and 1 in Latin. -The 46 students attempted 2 1-1 courses.

Roselle Pickering spoke on "The Home as the First Great Train ing School for Life." Althea Hembree showed the importance of music in home life. The programme closed with a de bate on co-education. Gertrude Ost and Esther Oieson held that co-education Is beneficial, winning over Gustave Ever son and Adolf Una, who supported the negative. The Tologelons -were visited by the Philolexlans. For their impromptu they took up , "Self -Government in High Schools." Don McClaire and Marvin Howes spoke for the affirmative, Gus Apple and Willard Houston for the neg ative. The former received the decision. The regular debate was: "Resolved. That Every Abie-Bodied Male Citizen of the United States Should Serve at Least Two Years in the Militia." Cecil Altnlan and Roland Jeffrey maintained the af firmative, losing to their opponents. Herbert Stott and Earl Pearcy. , Fred Sohauer joined the society. AVashlngton. N Monday morning all the Latin students of the school were called to the assembly hall to receive a talk from Mr. Fenstermacher, head of the Latin department. He explained that the method In use of translating Latin was at fault, and a new method was ex plained. Mr. Fenstermacher also gave notice that he was aware of the fact that "ponies" were used by some of the less diligent Latin students, and advised that they be discontinued. On Tuesday morning the manual train ing boys were called to the assembly hall, where Mr. Standley, the manual training supervisor, gave a talk. He had a very beautiful design for a clock, which ne desired the boys to make. It is Mr. Standiey's Intention that the clock be constructed and carved and sent to the faeattle air, and then afterwards be pre sented to the Board of School Directors for their meeting-room. Considering the high quality of the work that has al ready been done by these boys, it is thought they will be able to make their exhibit a creditable one. Mr. Herdman explained that the exhibition of some of tne manual training work from the school was a good thing, as everyone is anxious to see what is being done. In the assembly hall on Friday morning the school was told of the delights of chicken-raising. The meeting was held to get members for the Portland Junior Poultry Association, which is being or ganized. The school track men are getting Into shape for going1 out and showing the school their worth. It is expected that the school will make a good showing this year, and all are Interested. Basketball and football have been forgotten and the interests of the school are all towards track' events. Those who visited the Eukrineons, Fri day listened t- a programme which they found worth while. Nisbet came first with a report on baseball, which will soon be a topic of much Interest around the school. Following Nisbet came the de bate. "Resolved. That employers are justified in not recognizing labor unons." Glen Johnson and Henry Bauer were for the affirmative and against them were Herbert Cook and Edward Garcia. Both cook and Garcia made forceful debates, but the victory was wrested from them. An interesting and timely impromptu de bate came next. It was '"Resolved, that fraternities should be prohibited in the public schools." Raymond Sineletarv spoke In the affirmative, Byron S. Houck in the negative. Although this wis an impromptu it was well executed. Houck won much praise for his argument, but Singletary won the debate, on account of his more extensive experience. As usual, the Phrenodikens" programme was right up to the mark. "Mr. Crewe's Career" was reviewed by Alice Holman at first. Then came Mr. Galloway's talk on the art of debating, the third of a series. No one could fail to profit by Mr. Galloway's talk, and both the Phrenodi kens and the Eukrineons have learned much from him. The debate was, "Re solved, that a system of self-government should be adopted in High Schools." For the affirmative were Eiinor Chase and Mary C. Davies, while Royala Loomis and Judith Joy were for the negative. This debate had especial significance to all present- The affirmative won. Next the Phrenos' able critic gave her opinion of the programme, which was considered good, as usual. Lillian Downing then read the Phreno paper, "Quips and Cranks."
