And for one person to compare herself to another is futile. It proves nothing, for no two humans are alike. The daughter can cut her meals in two and fast one day a week, and she will doubtless do more work than at present, and require less sleep.

For over-eating is one great cause of over-sleeping. Any sort of bodily exercise, including digestion, places the demand for more sleep that the Life Power may accumulate energy to renew the broken down tissues. People of active living, like growing children, need much sleep. And people who eat much need much sleep, for it takes much Life Power to dispose of the food.

One person cannot be compared justly with another in such things; but one can try different methods of living, try them faithfully and prove which is best, thus measuring himself by himself. So far this correspondent seems to have tried only one sort of living.

To eat all one really needs and no more, because the elimination of unneeded food requires Life Power or energy that would better be directed in other channels --- this is the intent of the new physiology. Sensible, is it not?

--Elizabeth Towne
