a sufirmary
of

its length
:

Over-eating
is
one
of
the
most
wonderful
practices
among
those
who
think
that
they can
alford
it.
In fact,
authorities
say
that
nearly
all
rvho
can
get as
much
as
they
desire,
over-eat
to
their
disadvantage.
This
class
of
people
could
save
a
great
more
food
than
they
can
save
by
missing
one meal per
week
and
at the
same
time
they
could improve
their
health
A
heavy
meal
at night, the
so
called
dinner ,
is
the
fashion
with
many
and
often
it is taken
shortly
before
retiring
It
is
unnecessary
and
could
be forgone,
not
only
once
a week
but
daily without
loss
of
strength.
From
three
to
five
hours
are
needed to
digest
foorl. ldrhiie
sleeping,
this
'food
not
being
required
to
$ve
eneirgy
for
work,
is in
many
cases
converted
into
excess
fat,
givinl
rise
to
.
over-weight.
The evening
meal
should
be
light,
taken three
or four
hours
before
retiring.
This prevents
over-eating,
conserves
energy and
reduces
the
cost

food.

It
was
very

before
the court.
A
short
middle-aged
man
with
grey
hair ancl
small
blue
eyes
was
now
standing
before

The
man had
a
foolish
expression
on
his
fhce
and
he kept
looking
around
stupidly
as
if
he was
trying
hard to
understand
what
was going
on.
The
man
was
accused
of
breaking
into
a house
and
stealing
a
cheap
watch.
The
witness
who
was called,
did
not give
a
very
clear
account
of
what
had
happened.
He
claimed

night,
but
on
being questioned
further,
he
confessed
that
he
was
not
sure
whether
this
was
the
man.
The
judge
considered
the
matter
for
a short
tinre
and
,rrm
J lr. l;;*
there
was
no real proof,
the man
could
not
be

guilty
of
any crirne.
He
said
that
the
case
was
dismissed
and
then
rose
to
go.
Ide;n*nhilr,

very
puzzed.
It
was
clear
that
he had
not
