How Over-Eating De
stroys Body and Mind
(Copyright. 1M4, gtar Company.)
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Fifteen yews ago a man noted for his
robust and handsome personality con
tinually offered to eye and ear a refuta
tion of the theory that abstemlus and
moderate diet was
necessary for the
main tennnce of
health and good
look. This man
lived to eat.
Meat, fish, fowl
and eggs were
necessary for Ms
breakfast; four or
five courses at
luncheon alone
could satisfy htm,
and most elab
orate dinners must
he provided to ap
pease hla ever
Increasing appetite.
Meanwhile he was
clear of brain, hla skin was daxzling and
his body active. Then suddenly, some
thing like five years ago. there came a
change. Rheumatism first, then ab
scesses, and today the man, who in years
should be In the very prime of life, fs a
physical wreck, devoting half of every
day In various cures and the other half
to his bed.
He wonders why he has been so af
flicted, lie was not a dissipated man,
nor a man vIcIoim morally, nor a man
who wasted his nights In riotous living.
Now from his sick bed he thinks about
his many virtues, and does not realise
that his misfortunes are entirely due to
having poisoned hla system persistently
for more than two-score of years by
unnecessary foods In unnecessary quanti
ties. Another msn, brilliant mentally, an ath
lete physically, has for years Argued with
ill his friends who were Inclined to i
vegetarianism and to total abstinence
that "good red meat" and "pure rod
wine" were brain builders and health
givers. He contended that all the nota
ble achievements of the world were per
formed by people who ate meat and who
drank pure wines, although he was
strongly opposed to alcoholic beverages.
This man. too, fell by the wayside. Sur
geons puzzled over his maladies, but all
united In the opinion that the trouble or
iginated In the digestive apparatus. The
man's system had become poisoned In
soma way.
TIo, too, failed to realize that he had
brought this disaster upon himself by
unwise Indulgence in meat and wine. He
elleved himself a victim of overwork.

SIXTH EPISODE.
The Sleg of the House of O'Keefe.
CHAPTER III.
Bang! Another spraddling geranium
which had split down the center brushed
Al's cheek as Its pot crashed past.
"Iooky here!" AI Orogg's tone was
chiefly one of surprise.
Other flowerpots followed from Mrs.
Orogg's hands. She had at last dlscov
ered that Al Orogg could be made atrald.
June looked at her a moment and then
trudged up the hill, somewhat frightened
.t her own responsibility In this do
mestic upheavel. The guests had arrived
when she reached the house. Tommy
Thomas! With Tommy was a white mus
tached, pink faced man. The runaway
bride was surprised and puszled at the
appearance of Tommy la this place, but
the white muatached man occupied more)
of her thought. They were finishing din
ner when Mrs. Vlllard was called away.
The white muatached man was trying to
Induce June to smoke a cigarette. June
suddenly looked up and saw In the door
way between the portieres of heavy
velours the dark, handsome face of Gil
bert Elys!
"Tut. tut, Orin!" came the aauve voice
of the black Vandyked man. "I won't
have this little runaway bride taught
bad habits!"
June flushed and turned with some em
barrassment to Mrs. Vlllard. wh3 follow
ed Blye Into the doorway.
Blye! Always Blye! He hovered about
after they had lounged Into the billiard
room and conservatory, but the whits
muetaehed man monopolised June. Every
time aha tired to get awav from him
Tommy Dhomaa managed by some acci
dent to throw them together again. June
finally left the guests and went to her
room. She had decided to go back to the
O'Keefe house ot refuge.
Closer and closer had gathered the
siege on the house of O'Keefe! Bit by
bit, atom by atom, traces had been pick
ed ue.
Closer and closer grew the tolls until
Uarie bo longer dared stick her nose out
ef the window lest some one should re
port her to Ned or to June's father and
mother. But Ned's detectives finally got
leflnlte Information.
One day a long, lean alinker with ca
naverous cheeks csme up to Ned from
lurk alley and looked up at the O'Keefe
residence with solemn Interest.
"Thst s the place." he said.
"Yes. it's the place." Ned Warntr s

appetising dishes which a high priced
chef provided for the family table. I'p
to the present time she has seemed as
vigorously strong as she was radiantly
beautiful, and her devoted parents could
not believe that they were unwise In al
lowing her to follow the Impulses of ap
petite. They do not now believe that her
rheumatic trouble is a result of this self
indulgent appetite and 'It Is doubtful if
they ever will be made to believe It.
A woman of large wealth died not
long ago. a few years past middle life.
In early youth she had married a man
of great wealth, who had provided her
with everything she could crave In the
way of comforts and luxuries. After a
very few years the striking beautv which
had won her husband whs lost in a sea
of fat. The woman be an to develop
maladies of various sorts.
She was sent to fashionable cures, put
on a diet, and returned l me well. After
a few months other msladies developed
and she went to other euros. Something
like twice a year for a period of f;fteen
years she followed this method of life.
Always when at home she Indulged her
appetite and took no exercise. Fhe walked
from her bed to the table, from the table
to her carriage, from the carriage to
the table and from the table to the bed,
but finally she died; and unreasonable
friends wondered why a woman who
possessed everything to make life de
sirable, should be such a sufferer ami
called way before her time.
Heavy eating and a mixture of many
kinds of food In the nun an system pro
duce a process of slow poisoning just as
absolutely as would ground glass, or the
concoctions created by the chemists In
the middle ages, when poisoning one's
rivals, enemies, or Inconvenient relatives
was the fashion.
Over -eating kills more people and fills
more sanitariums and Insane asylums
than over-drinking. It Is also as vulgar
and almost as Indecent a habit. If you
want health. If you want beauty, if you
i want vitality and a cl-ar brain, be tern-'
perate In food. Do not load your system
with fish, fruit, fowls, vegetables, at one
Fitting. Do not imagine that because a
lot of viands appeal to the sight and the
smell they ere necessary to the taste.
One hearty meal Snd two light meals In .
twenty-four hours are all that any'
human system can properly asslmulate;
and the one healthy meal should not con
sist of too many varieties.
It Is true that the human system needs
a vsrlety In the way of food to sustain 'J
its forces, but It does not need this .1
variety all at one time, nor In enormous
quantities. Hearty eating la a habit like
heavy drinking. It -requires will power 1
and self control to overcome. But once
overcome and the habit of a light, simple
diet substituted, enormous dividends will
follow In the way ofcomfort, good looks,
good health drib endurance, and financial
profit..

voice was hollow, but there was a
Jubil-
an- ring In It.
"Go and tell Mr. Moore."
The lean Individual hurried away and
presently came back on the driver seat
of a limousine. Inside were the stern
faced father and the gentle faced mother
of June and June's bosom friend, the
ebullient Iris Blethering, and Bobble
Blethering.
"This Is the place." said stern John
Moore, looking up at the narrow front
of the O'Keefe residence. and, stalking
out, be helped -the others alight.
Sammy O'Keefe .came to the door In
answer to Ned's ring, and a much wrink
led face poked Itself out of the second
story window.
"Does June Warner live here?" asked
Ned.
"No, sir."
The head In the second story window
was Jerked in immediately, and there
was a .hasty shuffle on the stairs lead
ing up to the third floor, a shuffle made
by setting up the right foot first and
pulling the left one up to It. Also there
was a mad scrambling on the third floor.
while Sammy O'Keefe In the front door-
dav looked the throng In the eye with
admirable truthfulness and swore thst
there waa no June Warner there, no
June Moore, no June anything.
"vl hat s the matter here. Sammy?" the
Widow O'Keefe herself asked, panting
considerably.
'Come, search the house," she proudly
dared them.
Borne of them were for holding back.
but Ned Warner waa perfectly callous as
to whether or not he took anv nnt'i
word or doubted It. He meant to find
his wife.
By the circumstance of bringing home
a genuine gourd to little Maeirfa r
June came home around by an extremely
back way and so missed the searchers.
Search the cellar, If you please!"
mocked the Widow O'Keefe. leading the
way. "Maybe you'll look In the kindly
bin. And here's the 'coal chute. Now
come on upstairs. Here's the hall that
you saw before, and here a my son
Sammy, a fine young boy still; snd this
is the parlor. The organ there, sir. Is not
hollow, as you can tell by lifting up the
lids. Open all the doors and see."
The place was vacant. No one was
there. Ned Warner, puzzled and 'de
termined. Inspected the third floor. No
results. The Widow O'Keefe had gath
ered up all the clothes and belongings and
put them In a sheet and poked them Into
Mrs. McPherson's third story window.
June Warner tripped lightly across the
street, let herself In at the Widow
O'Keefe's front door and trotted briskly
up the stairs. She swung round the
curving banister.
"Maybe you'd like to look up the rhlm
neys." suggested the Widow O'Keefe to
the sesrehers on the third floor.
Ned Warner walked toward the bull
door.
June Warner tlaitcd up to the third
floor!

i forward and said:

i IJke the crack of
a whiplash came
another voice:
"You miserable

The two hoys
stood before me,
one with a depre
cating smile, the
other with a blase
of snger in his
eyes. One had ling features, a pale fam.
shifting eyes. The other square ef shoul
ders, round of face and head, and an up
standing little figure of a Mad. They,
were about the same age. 10 years. Botrt'
were neatly but not handsomely dressed. ,
noth were probably sons of mechanic
living In one of the tenements near the'
great downtown office building. But wtiat
a difference in their outlook upon life
and what a difference foreshadows In
their future. One will sneak through life,
the other will march through .lt. One
will slip through the world, apologising
for hla acts, when he Is detected la them.
or when some one resents them. Thai
other will travel life's road unafraid.
unashamed, on good terms with himself.)
Between those boys Is the distance, a
world's width, between those who tiavev!
and who have not self-respect.

his father and mother build the fire. He
will eat all of th- cakes Instead of sav

shuffle along Ufa's highway. Instead of
lining his foot high and stepping over

family dependents. If he marries, his

relation of the family. "There Is always
