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
