BYRON DIED FOR SLIM WAIST
New Subjects for Conversation
prayer.”
The President called attention to
That Lord Byron, famous English
poet and romantic figure of more than
a century ago, died at an early age
because he insisted on keeping his
waistline slim, is the claim of Sir
James Crichton-Browne, diet expert.
The young poet, atworging to Sir
James, was threatened with becomi
fat. Being one of the handsomest an
most dashing-looking personages of
that day, as well as of history, he
looked with dismay on the impending
catastrophe. To maintain his attrac-
tiveness and particulatly his slim
waist line, of which he was somewhat
vain, he existed for years on a daily
diet consisting of one slice of bread, a
few vegetables, a little white wine
and some sugarless tea. To satisfy
his hunger which was peristent, ow-
ing to the exceedingly active life he
led, Byron resorted to tobacco and is
said to have used it to excess when in
a weakened condition.
The summer of 1823 was perhaps
the most active period of his life. It
was then that he sailed to Greece,
plunged into the political chaos, and,
with his influence and money, aided
that country in its struggle for inde-
pendence. Long hours of tension on
little food exacted their toll. His
health began to fail, and overtaken by
a shower one day while on a long trip
on horseback, the fever and rheuma-
tism set in which caused his death.
Sir James warns modern emulators
of Lord Byron of either sex, who are
desirous of retaining their figures at
all cost, against overdoing in the
matter of diet. He points out, how-
ever, the greatly improved nutrition
of the British population during the
past fifty years, which he attributes
mostly to foods preserved by canning.
“Far from being unwholesome,” the
English dietitian states, “foods pre-
served by canning or otherwise, are
largely responsible for the improved
British nutrition.” ;
Variety in the diet, offered by
canned foods is probably one of the’
biggest factors in the improved Brit-
ish condition. Whereas fifty years
ago, England was a land of roast beef
and mutton, today fruit and vegeta- :
bles grown in all parts of the world
are scientifically canned and widely
sold in England, just as they are in
every other country. Even a diet, if
it be a sensible one, has no dangers
for the person who varies his foods
with the almost unlimited choice of
healthful, non-fattening vegetables
and fruits now available in cans.
Pineapple, for example, one of the
diet foods recommended by physicians
because its natural fruit sugar is
quickly converted into energy without
adding fat and also because of its
powerful digestive properties, was
not generally known anywhere in the
world twenty-five years ago. In Eng-
land, it was grown in hot-houses for
rich people. The “Smooth Cayenne”
variety which Hawaii now gives the
world in its finest form at everyman’s
price, was developed, in Byron’s time.
only by English plant breeders at the
Royal Botanical Gardens in London.
When Sir James speaks of the
wholesome properties of canned foods
he refers to foods as they are canned
in modern sanitary canneries in such
a way as to retain the health-giving
properties of the raw foods. Under
home-cooking methods, of necessity :
slower and less scientific than can-
nery-cooking methods, some of the
valuable vitamins—more or less vol-
atile by nature—are apt to escape. It
is practically impossible, also, to han-
dle foods at home in the strictly san-
itary way in which they are handled
in a modern cannery.
Most canned foods are never touch-
ed by human hands. = When some
special process is necessary the work-
ers in canneries wear rubber gloves.
Automatic machines do the washing
and cleaning. The tomato is an ex-
cellent example of healthful food
scientifically canned. As tomatoes are
brought by farmers to the cannery
they go into a receiving tank, and are
washed. They are then scalded suffi-
ciently to loosen the skin but not so
long that the pulp and flesh become
softened. The scalding is accomplish-
ed by conveying the tomatoes through
boiling water or live steam. As they
emerge from the scalder they are sub-
jected to sprays of cold water or are
immersed in cold water to check fur-
ther cooking and crack the skins.
After peeling, they are fed into a ma-
chine which fills thousands of cans
hourly. From this machine, the cans
march on to be exhausted and sealed.
- . Forecast Big Turkey Supply.
The 1928 turkey crop in the lead-
ing producing States is about 4 per
cent. larger than the 1927 crop, ac-
cording to the Federal-State Crop Re-
porting Service, Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture. ary
The greatest increase this year is
in the western States, particularly in
Washington, Oregon and California. |
This is attributed in part to the de- |
velopment of commercial hatching
and the sale of day old poults. |
The North Centre States also show
an increase in production while the
Southern States have a noticeable re-
duction. i
The Pennsylvania crop is reported
as 98 per cent. of the 1927 production, :
with the birds in fairly good condi- |
tion.
“Weather conditions on the whole |
were more favorable to turkey pro- |
duction this years than last in all
areas,” the report states, “except the
South, although excessive rain and
coolness of weather in June caused
considerable losses in many sections.
With feed supplies plentiful and rel- |
atively cheap, the conditions of the
crop by the end of November should
be average or better, if the weather
continues favorable.” |

peace and uanquiliny and the pros-

The next follows:
. “The season again approaches when
it has been the custom for genera-
tions to set apart a day of thanks-
giving for the blessings which the
Giver of all good and perfect gifts has
bestowed upon us during the year.
It is most oming that we should
do this, for the goodness and mercy
of God which have followed us
through the year deserve our grate-
ful recognition and acknowledgment.
“Through His divine favor peace
and tranquility have reigned through-
out the land; He has protected our
country as a whole against pestilence
and disaster and has directed us to
the ways of national prosperity. Our
fields have been abundantly produc- |
tive; our industries have flourished;
our commerce has increased; wages
have been lucrative, and comfort and
contentment have followed the undis-
turbed pursuit of honest toil as we
have prospered in material things, so
have we also grown and expanded in
things spiritual. Through divine in-
spiration we have enlarged our chari-
ties and our missions; we have been
imbued with high ideals which oper-
ated for the benefit of the world and
the promotion of the brotherhood of
man to peace and good will. |
“Wherefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, :
President of the United States, do |
hereby set apart Thursday, the 29th
day of November next, as a day of |
general thanksgiving and prayer, and |
I recommend that on that day the |!
people shall cease from their daily |
work, and in their homes, and in their |
accustomed places of worship, devout- |
ly give thanks to the Almighty for
the many and great blessings they |
have received, and seek His guidance |
that they may deserve a continuance |
of His favor. i
Autoists Pay Billion in 10-Year |
Excise Tax.
Since 1918 automobiles owners
have paid into the federal treasury a
total of $1,100,000,000 in excise taxes
on automobiles and parts, the Ameri-
can Automobile association reported
today.
The federal government’s part in
the road building program since 1918
has been $613,000,000. The govern-
ment’s share in the mileage now un-
der construction will be $108,748,746.
The A. A. A. is urging the applica-
tion of all automobile taxes to the
road building program by the federal
government, on the theory that good
roads bring national prosperity and
argues that the government still
“owes” motorists $500,000,000 worth
of good roads.
