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. In general, it may be

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

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

Of the societies the Tologelons and
Adelphlans held their regular meetings?.
The Adelphian programme was devoted to
the "Home-." 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."
