Dr. Fletcher Soya Don’t E*t When Worried or Angry. “In fiv/s years from now It will not be considered respectable to be sick.” Many more such cheerful promises as this one was made by Dr. Horace Fletcher, the famous exponent of rational eating, who has made the term "Fletcherism” familiar on both side* of (he Atlantic, just before he sailed' from New York with his wife and companion on tjie steamship Saxonia for a cruise to Gibraltar, Genoa and Naples. “The greatest source of unhappiness in the worlcL at present," said« Dr. Fletcher, “Is.the mouth. You should eat when you feel like it, eat what you may crave for at the tSme, and above all you should chew your food. You may feel like ridiculing the Idea that It is well to chew-your soup. I will, hoover, ask you to try It. It will Improve the soup and help you. “Never eat when worried, nervous or angry. It is making and absorbing poison to do It. You should chew your food thirty times with every mouthful. If you x do this you will live to a great age.” Dr. Fletcher while in Europe wllk .stop off at Naples and there have a chance to have some Italian spaghetti. He was informed that in eating spaghetti It is necessary to hold the head back and let the food slip down. “Well-^—ah—” femiled and hesitated Dr. Fletcher. “I will chew it just the same.”
