Thoughts For The Times.
Dieting. The occupation of daily farming has been open to all the community to indulge in, for many have started it with capital only saved out of wages. All the money they have earned at it has been worked hard for, and to reduce their earnings by law when a favourable season for them comes, is thorough bad statesmanship. The truth is that butter is a highly concentrated food of which too much is often eaten from a health standpoint, and an average reduction of one-fifth the present amount consumed would hurt nobody. The foolish way we spend money on food is shown more clearly in the matter of bread, seeing it is customary to feed our children on white bread, where as if wholemeal bread were compulsory the price would be less and the children better nourished.
