On the subject of eating, we would mention Eating for
Perfect Health, by Mrs. Milton Powell (Lutterworth, 3s. 6c1.). She quotes Sir William Roberts saying that " one generation of scientific dietetics would produce an influence upon humanity second only to a new creation of the race," and all her recom-. mendations for food reform are worthy at least of attention. To avoid sham foods, that fill without feeding, and to eat less meat is surely wise advice. Mrs. Powell reinforces her plea for vegetarianism with Cowper's dictum, " I would not enter on my list of friends . . . the man who needlessly sets foot upon a worm," and proceeds to give us much interesting information on vitamins, food frauds and health diet. By taking the author's advice, many a reader might save many a costly consultant's fee. * * *
