WORRY A CURSE.
SAYS SIR ARBUTHNOT LANE. LONDON, November 21. "Worry is the curse of civilisation and it is largely due to our bad food What wc ought to do is to put people back on the land, where they ought to be. 77 declared Sir Wiliam Arbuthnot Lane, speaking yesterday, on “The New Health Society, 77 at a luncheon at the National Liberal Club. It was strange, he said, that while medical men were supposed to teach people what they should eat. there was nobody to teach the doctors what to teach. Doctors generally told the people to eat what they (the doctors) liked best. (Laughter.) Within, a very short time they hoped that some man of ample means would be able to put forward the money for a Chair of Dietetics in the University of London. Holding up a. roll which had been beside his plate, Sir William, amid laughter, said, “The curse of our age is that wo are provided with white bread. 1 did not oat mine. You can’t feed rats and mice on white bread, and yet you give it to your guests. I noticed that our distinguished chairman (Lord Lincolnshire) drank only water with his luncheon. I am not at all sure that a little alcohol is not good for you.” (Hear, hear, 77 and applause.)
