For no person with ordin ary powers of observation can fail to see that a far greater number of peo ple have suffered from too much meat and starches and sugar than have ever suffered from too much strong drink. The torpid livers, the noxious gases pressing upon the heart, the poison ed blood flow, the dyspepsia, the cor ruptions and cankers, the pains and the untimely deaths that have re sulted from immoderate eating what a frightful record they make: the habits of people who are privil eged to eat as much or as little as they want to.) And so you ate and ate that is, if you were like me and most of the folk I know. On the anniversary of the day when Jesus was born in a manger you did your gormandizing en famile; and on the days that fol lowed you had your friends in, and they had you in, for more of the same thing. When you drank your little cock tail or two before passing into the dining room you were committing what has been thundered at from the platform and pulpit for generations as a sin. But when, at the table, you stuffed your already overstuffed stomach with a cruel surplus of fats and proteins and starches you wero in accord with the godliest of men and women.

First this pro ducer, then another has wrangled some special privilege from govern ment, each taking his toil or "gry" from the consumer until finally the consumer no longer could buy. It is high time, therefore, that fi nance and the law look at the other side of the picture, see what cen be done to build consuming power. Or.co consuming power is restored, production will largely take care of itself.
