D. A YOUNG MAN eighteen years of age writes me as follows: “Is smoking harmful to your health? I have often seen in ad v e r t i sements that athletes smoke, and they say it does not impair their wind nor weak en the heart. I also observed that most doc tors smoke. “I am just eighteen years old and have not started to smoke yet, al though once in a while I feel the urge to. I Dr. Clendening do not think I would really care to smoke, but l do not want to be different. If you could give me one good reason that would prejudice me against it, I would make it a point not to.” I can give at least one good rea son against smoking, which is that it is expensive. But that is not on the health side, except that when you are broke you worry and that makes you sick. The question as put—“ls smoking healthful?” —would have to be an swered in the negative. But if you were to put it, “Is smoking unhealth ful?" that would also, I am afraid, according to quite abundant re searches, have to be answered “No.” There was once a standing offer. Slow, Fireless Cooking »j Practiced by Primitives By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. FOOD IS A POOR heat conductor. The heat penetrates it slowly. Ac cording to U. S. Department of Agri culture Bulletin No. 21. the interior of a piece of meat weighing nine pounds, aft er four hours boiling, was only 88 degrees C. or 12 degrees below the boiling point of water. The t e mperature close to the bone of a leg of mut ton which had been roasted for several hours was 186 degrees F. If, therefore, a piece of meat is cooked very rap ■ b.tfaja) lip Dr*. Clendening idly and intensively the only result is to waste fuel, the outer parts of the meat are overcooked, the inner parts raw. Much better to cook with moderate heat, slowly and over a long period. This fact accounts for the popu larity of the tireless cooker. A serv ing of food once thoroughly cooked has its surface sealed, it can then be put in a semi-thermos arrange ment. left alone for 12 to 18 hours and be found to be thoroughly cooked all through. Fireless Cooking Primitive Slow and tireless cooking is one of the most primitive forms of the art, as can be seen from the following account of the Kanakas of the Friendly islands: "A hole is scooped in the earth, in which a fire is made (of wood), and kept burning until a fair-sized heap of glowing charcoal remains. Pebbles are then thrown in until the charcoal is covered. Whatever is to PAGE SEVEN machine 19—Doctors (ab.) 21—Light slippers 23 Independent island in the N.

The originator was an elderly lady in Massachusetts, who was very much opposed to tobacco* 5 but who was unable to prove that J it was harmful and was too iiitel * lectually honest to propagandize 5 against it until it was proved. The reward never was claimed. As to the question of athletic* and t training, here, too, I am of the <-•»in * ien that there has been a gre: ; leal ■ of senseless, or unfounded, p ibi tions. At the world series g.- s f met an old friend of mine who yed 5 for a year with the New York G nts. ! He says he spent all of his time on ’ the bench except in practice—but he ■ learned a lot about baseball players. 1 One particular thing that struck l him, as contrasted to his college ath- letics, was the complete absence of t training rules among baseball clubs. 1 As far as I can learn that .* tilt ob -1 tains. The players don't get drunk, but they are not always total ab stainers. They smoke and eat as they choose. The only rule was that on the road they had to be in bed by 10:30. The real training was to wind and heart bv the intensive nrnctfce. especially running, every day It is pretty hard to expect .» group of men to stay in strict "l ainbie'' for the period of the entire liiarhail season The football players are bet ter off.

A long time, of course, is needed for the viands to get cooked through, but so subtle la the mode that overdoing anything ia almost impossible. A couple of days may pass from the time of ‘putting down’ the joint, yet when it is dug up it will be smoking hot, retaining all its juices, tender as jelly, but* withal, as full of flavor as it is pos sible for cooked meat to be. No naU ter how large the joint is, or hovr tough the meat, this gentle suasion will render it succulent and tasty J and no form of civilized cookery caa in the least compare with it" , NOTES BY NOTABLES ' Comparative anatomists have tablished that the natural life ex pectancy of an animal is usually five times the period needed for full skel etal development Since 21 years i* required for full skeletal growth in man, the age of 105 might be set as the approximate normal human limit —Journal American Medical Asso ciation. j “How many children have you?** asked the doctor, taking the history. “Eleven —three grownups, two run arounds, four yard children, and two creepers.” it i EDITOR’S NOTE: Six pamphlet! by Dr. Clendening can now be ob tained by sending 10 cents in coin, for each, and a self-addressed envelope stamped with a three-cent stamp, to Dr. Logan Clendening, in care pt this paper.
