Smoking Expensive , Useless ,
ffw# Ao/ Harmful to Health
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. 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

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

as I remember it, of a reward cf ten
. thousand do’lars to anyone who
would prove that tobacco is injurious
to health. 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.

It is pretty hard to expect .» group
of men to stay in strict "l ainbie''
for the period of the entire liiarhail

gram of health rules is a little more
than human nature can stand for
any long stretch.
But theie is no question that to

then thrown back into the cavity and
well stamped down. 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" ,
