Eat Potato Peelings If You Wish to Live Long

Special Despatch to The Herald.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—Unless you're eating your apple peelings regularly you are overlooking a bet. According to Dr. C. E. Boynton of Bellingham, Wash., who read a paper to-day before the Society of Physical Therapeutists at the Hotel La Salle, apple and potato peelings are quite essential to the diet.

Sour milk and oatmeal, he said, also were to be recommended. In Bulgaria, where the people went in for sour milk, Dr. Boynton observed, they lived to a green old age. And the reason the Scotchman was so hale and hearty, he added, was because he lived on oatmeal and the grace of God.

But it was the apple and potato parings that Dr. Boynton insisted on.
