An Excellent Article From Succesi Maga
zine on the Quantity of Food
Needed.
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.

RACKET STORE
We have now been handling the WAR
NER CORSET for a year, and we are in a po
sition to talk. For two or three years, people
that have been wearing these goods, would
come, into our store and ask us why we didn't
handle WARNER CORSETS. Now, we are
glad they did, lor the good reports that we are
hearing each day, convince us that we did
the right thing by taking advice from these
people. We still have a few Armorsides that
we .Will sell at 75c. each, after which we will
handle only goods made by WARNER
BROTHERS.
If you have not tried any of these, give
them a trial, and be convinced, with others,
that they wear longer, and give more comfort
than any other goods. Price 45 cts., 90 cts. and 95 cts.
