EAT MORE OFTEN.

Eat more often is the latest idea for healthy people, declares a special correspondent of the London "News-Chronicle." It is a mistake, he says, to deprive a hungry hody of food in the interests of some fad or dietetic regime. Leading industrialists have proved that the provision of refreshment during working hours has resulted in a marked improvement in output and efficiency of factories and workshops. The \ ii tues oi eating more often have been proved scientifically both in England and in the United States. Yale Professor Dr. H. W. Haggard, who has been preaching the doctrine of meals between meals for workers during the last ten years, once established a lahora" tory in a shoe factory, where he tested the health and production of workers who had cakes and milk while thev were working at machines or benches, and those who preferred to carry on without the additional substance He found that the better-fed workers sewed far more shoes in a day than those who worked without eating. And in nearly all cast's the worker at the end of the dav* was fresh and ready properly to enjoy the'leisure hours of the evening. Other workers went home jaded.
