When one considers the amount of care and attention devoted to the proper feeding of our domes tic animals in order to keep them in good physical condition, wheth er for work or exhibition pur poses, it Is surprising to note the carelessness of the human ani mal in regard to its own food. Pick up a book on the feoding of any of our domestic animals and you will be struck by the repe tion of "Don't overfeed." It is not a question of quality but a question of quantity that is dwelt upon. in the case of the human ani mal, the cry has been nourish ment and more nourishment un til one is led to believe the human system a yawning furnace yearn ing for food. Loss of appetite is considered a dire calamity. Grant ed; but in ninety per cent, of cas es this loss of appetite is due pri marily to overeating. The irn mediate cause may be one of a score of minor ailments, the treat ment for which is a more or less thorough cleaning out of the sys tern to get rid of the surplus. The result is satisfactory; your torpid liver or bowels or stomach was at fault. But why? Too much nourishment overeating. B y overeating 1 am not referring to quantity judged by weight, as a comparatively small amount of a concentrated food may do as much barm as a larger amount contain ing a similar percentage of actual food value. Fuel is as necessary in the run mug of the human as manyoth er engine. Excess of fuel causes trouble in any case. For exam pie, feed your auto engine too much gasoline and it "chokes"; you get less power, and a carbon deposit which requires an over hauling of the engine. Or, a care less fireman feeds his furnace too much coal, resulting in smoke and soot with less available heat and clogged flues. The remedy is to clean the boiler. But in all well conducted plan ts the fireman is either warned or discharged for incompetency. How about pur poor human engine? Occasionally we eat enough to be uncomfortable and are more or less sorry, according to the degree of discomfort. Verv often we blame some one particu lar dish for being indigestible; so we take a digestive tablet, a stim ulant or a laxative, and ail is well. Is it? What about gout, rheuma tism, dyspepsia, headache, const! pation, etc? How about "that tired feeling"; that sluggish cir culation? Do you notice it more after eating a hearty meal or aft er eating a frugal one? Try it Something over two years ago an old college friend of mine, a physician, came to me with a his tory of headaches, constipation, torpid liver, rheumatism, and a general lack of tone. They bad all yielded to treatment for a time, but had always recurred. Ho had been treated for everything, from simple gastritis to cancer of the liver; with diets and drugs and internaland external baths galore, both here and abroad, with the same result, a more or less tern porary improvement. He decld ed there must be something radi cally wrong. I agreed. He wore the brands of the overfed luster less eyes and muddy complexion; dull red mucous membranes in stead of the bright red of a heal tby man. I asked him, "How about your appetite?" He an Bwered: "I have always managed to keep that good." "You mean that you eat three hearty meals a day ?" "Yes." . '' "Anything between meals?" "No, except occasionally at night, after the theater, or some thing of that sort." "I suppose when you say that your appetite is good you mean that you enjoy about as large a meal as when you were in college, with perhaps a little more care as to quality." "Well, yes, just about." "In choosing your food, have you given a certain amount of con alderation to the actual food val ue and ease of digestion ?" "Yes." "Then you are actually getting more nourishment now than when you were growing and develop ing mentally and physically and living a rather active life; when your tissues demanded food aud your energies fuel?" "1 suppose that is true." "Well, now that you have ma tured and it is a question of refin ing that which has grown, you will find that you do not need more than one-half the food re quired during your college days, and that It is this excess of nour ishment which ts at the bottom of all your troubles. My advice to you' is: Within the next two weeks gradually reduce the quan tity of your food until you are practically on half your present ration, and in three months write me." "As he left he remarked, "How often in our search for health we lose sight of the obvious !" In two months I received a let ter: "1 am a new man, I am eat ing half as much and feeling fine. . I did not know there was so much ginger in me. . . It was a little hard at first, especial ly when I was detained for an hour or so beyond my regular meal-time, as I would develop a headache, but even that Is right ing itself. The results have been permanent." In a recent letter he said: "If I could take the ex cess food eaten by most of the people in Chicago in one day, 1 could feed all the underfed for a week." Now, Mr. Businessman and Mrs. Societywoman, Mr. Clerk, and Miss Schoolteacher, and all the rest of the family of grown ups, think it over. Do not over feed your engine. It will run longer and better on too little than it will on too much. ' The reward will be ample; I hear it every day: "Doctor 1 get more actuil eDjoyment out of a simple little dinner than 1 used to get out of the most elaborate dishes in days gone by." "I do not have to rack my brain to think of something that will taste good" "I have forgotten what Indiges tion feels like," etc. We are all trying to realize our own little heaven on this earth, and, believe me, there is mote chance for those who are afflict ed by the devil of too much drink thau there is for those afflicted by the devil of too much food. A drunkard may be quite gentle manly when sober, .but the glut ton is a beast all the time. Do not use up your energy digesting and getting rid of a surplus of food save it for the day's work or the day's play, ' whichever it happens to be. NEW FIXTURE. R. C. McQuade Purchases Weirhing Ma chine That Almost Thinks for Itself. That McConnellsburg mer chants are not only quick to take advantage of new and approved methods of doing business, but are bound to warrent the confi dence of their customers to the fullest extent, is shown by the recent purchase of R. C. Mc Quade. , He has just received the most modern weighing machine, which almost thinks for itself. It not only- weighs, but computes the cost, showing the exact amount of the purchase in dollars and cents without any hand or men tal operation whatever. You just place the commodity on the plat form and the scale doss the rest Customers always like to see just what they are getting; and, op this scale the amount is plain ly indicated on the customers' side of the device. The subject of Bcales has occu pied a great deal of the time and attention of city officials and city sellers in all parts of the country. Many scales have been found un reliable and condemned. The spring scales especially have been found to be . inaccurate, tor, as we all know, a spriug will not "spring" the same after it has been used for sometime. Springs are also affected by heat and cold, and scales that contain springs, cannot be relied upon. This scale is sprlngless and can not wear or change. It has beea found td be absolutely accurate and is recommended by officials everywhere. This fixture will make a hand some furnishing for R. C. Mc- Quade's store, and he is to be commended for bis enterprise and for the open above-board weighing which allows his cus tomers to "see the wheels go around" for themselves.
