JCOoprright, 1S07, "Charitiea and The . , Commons, New York.) (Profeaaor Fisher and Director Chit tenden of Tale, are authorities of world eminence On diet and physiological ehemistry. The assertion of both that St man' working - efficiency can be doubled and hi food billa cut in half by th faithful following of Horac Fletch er' simple rule of diet brings , India-' potable authority to a mooted question. Onoe generally appreciated and applied ;"Fletcherism" is wU calculated to rank a on Of the moat tremenduously aig nlfleant of modern economic facta.) I HE METHODS by which American health standard may be improved are various. . They Include tha in creased federal regulation of - publlo health, ' especially as related to the pollution tof in terstate 7 river and the regula tion of pure food, as well as improve ment in state and local administration. It Is a great mistake, however to sup pose that the primary method of ele vating health conditions is by enacting new laws, or enforcing old legislation. The motive power must com from pub lic opinion, and in order that such power have almost no control. The practical Froblem for man is how to select hla ood, how much of it to eat an-3 how to masticate it Mr. Horace Fletcher. The man who more than any one else haa insisted on the value of thori ough mastication is Horace Fletcher. At Tale two year ago, a hand of nine students, volunteors, undertook sn ex periment to test the virtues of Mr. Fletcher's rules of thorough mastica tion. The rules which tho men followed were two: First, to thoroughly maati cate every moraol of food with the at tention, however, not on the maattcation it self but upon the taate and eniovment of the food. The direction of the at tention on enjoyment, rather than on the mechanical act of mastication is more important than might appear at firtit. For it has been shown bv actual experiment made by Pawlow with doaa In St. Petersburg that appetite is the principal means of exciting gastric juice. Consequently those who make nor or eating ny nitrogenous' food such as meat and eggs. This Is particularly true In America. That a reduction in the uao of meat and eggs is physiologically right and beneficial has been thorough ly shown by Professor Chittenden in hla famous experiment with- United States soldiers and Vale students. Profeesor Chittenden's work lias put the. science of dletetca on an entirely new basis. 4 ft has, however, nothing in common with tho Vegetarian cult ex cept that It advocates a reduction In the use of flesh woods. This result, however,; is directly at variance with the common practice in America. w.. have all been taught that meat gives strength.11 and trainers for athletic events have" always given a irreat denl of . beef to their men. In order to test th correctness of this opinion, and to teat the Comparative endurance of those practice of thorough mastication, wrote IMPROVED sr Simple Rules must not be confounded. The subjects In the experiments which have been mentioned were not In general any stronger by reason of the thorough mastication and the lowering of the consumption of meat and eggs, but thwir endurance- was conspicuously greater. To distinguish strength and endurance, we may say that the strength of a muscle is measured by the utmost force it can exert -once. Its endurance is -measured by the number of times tt can repeat, a given exertion Involving a certain fraction of its strength. ' ' T . Most of us ar far more interested In improving our endurance than in im proving our strength, We do not care to be Snndowa. but we do wish to be workers. A working man in a factory in New Jeraey who had taken up tha the Kurama. were designed by Japan ese engineers, as all of the battleships recently built in Japan have been. The keel was laid at Kure in May, 1107, and immediately a double force of men was put at work. The naval office de nies that any special effort was made to rush the cruiser through to comple tion, but the Japanese papers say that the bureau was not averse to a demon stration of Just how quickly a fight ing machine could be turned out by Its artiaana. Every ounce of steel used In the con struction of the new cruiser came from either the Kure steel foundry, which n who -used meat and 'eggs in abundance and those;-who used them sparingly or not at all, an experiment was rhada with 49 subjects, about half of whom were Tale students and half other per- sons in various parts of the country.

The benefits which working men might obtain from the practice of ra tional dietetics,, ap well as of other hy giene, In ridding themselves of fatigue and sickness. Is Incalculable. Incalculable, too. would be the total saving; to the working people resulting from a general adoption of diet princi ples which tend to the diminished use of the more expensive foods, and to the reduction in quatlty of all foods. The working man. therefore, more community, should take an active In terest and active part In the modern health. President Roosevelt has said.
