WAR DIET IN GERMANY.

THE editor of the Lokal Anziegor, having asked Professor Heinrich Rosin to write an article for him on “Corpulence and War Food,” this eminent specialist tills three columns with a very learned disquisition on the subject, not without its points of interest, and full of unintentional humour. Professor Rosin has been a close observer of the effects of war food on the ordinary citizen. He is amazed that notwithstanding the provocation given by war food, he finds comparatively few signs of diminishing physical powers among the great masses of (he people. Emaciation has become pretty general, he says, especially in towns, but emaciation is seldom accompanied by weakness or the loss of physical capacity. On all sides Professor Rosin meets persons, men and women, who have never before been successfully treated with dietic rides, and who now give almost daily proof that their heavy load of fat tissues is surely disappearing, A decrease in weight of 50 pounds is not a rare occurrence —all the result of war diet. iWen and women are met daily by the professor, who show him with some pride the louse folds of clothes, where in former days all was tightness and pressure. And they are all in good health and all feel comfortable and jolly. War diet is the best anti-fat cure known to Professor Rosin —he says so definitely. He calls it “an ideal cure.” “War diet improves the action of the heart and the circulation of the blood, and makes healthy citizens out of men and women -who have hitherto been a burden to themselves and others.”
