It is believed that after reaching
Peruvian waters the movements of

though the reason for this statement

"We Eat too Much"
So Says Prof. Chittenden, of Yal
University, in His Latest Book on
tho "Nutrition of Man" Tho
Latest Word on Food from
this Scientific Authority
It is an oft-repeated statement
and one that doubtless holds true
with many pecmle that we do not
care what we eat so long as it tastes
good. The average person in good
health gives little thought to, tho
"fuel value" of the food he eats, nor
is he greatly concerned about the
quantity of "proteids" or the num
ber of "calories" in his daily diet. It
is only when his stomach cries out
in protest or the signs of inal-nutri-tlon
show themselves in gradually
decreasing strength that he begins
to give the food question serious or
intelligent study.
Within the last few years how
ever there has been a popular awak
ening on the question of food and the
nutrition of man. Pure food laws
have been enacted and scientific men
are making experiments to determine
just what kind of food and how much
food is required to maintain health
and a proper amount of energy in all
kinds of employment, mental and
physical. Professor Chittenden's
book is one of the results of this
popular awakening. It is an ex
haustive work of 321 pages, covering
all sorts of dietetic experiments on
men and dogs.
Professor Chittenden believes that
we all eat-too- much-'-especlally. too.
much meat and that 'the -greatton'a-jorlty
of our bodily ailments may
be traced to this cause. It is inter
esting to note the prominence given
throughout the book to Shredded
Wheat Biscuit as being an ideal, per
fectly balanced food, containing all
the proteids and calories that are
necessary to perfectly nourish the
average man or woman. In outlin
ing a simple dietary showing what
will provide a proper quantity of
nutriment for the average man ho
suggests the following as an ideal
breakfast menu:

It is also interesting to note" that
Shredded Wheat is the only wheat
breakfast food mentioned in the en
tire volume, which may be regarded
as the latest scientific, authority up
on the question of food. It merely
tends to confirm the general belief
of physicians -and dietetic experts
that Shredded Whole Wheat is be
coming more and more recognized
as tho one standard - cereal food
which contains in well balanced pro
portion and in a digestible form all
the elements that are needed, for
the complete nouriahment of the per
fect human body. It is always
clean, always pure, always the saine.
