PATH Bi dw el l Sc ho ol d on at es t o wi nt er s he lt er It would be so much simpler during the hol- iday season to stay in control and main- tain one's weight if it wasn't for that darned need to eat. Think of how thin we'd be. Consider how much money we'd save at gro- cery stores and restau- rants. Imagine watching television without being tempted by those choco- late kisses ringing in the New Year. Alas, 'tis not to be — or is it? Science marches on. In researching past breakthroughs in diet- ing, I re-discovered "Le Whif," produced by David Edwards, a Professor of the Practice of Biomedical Engineering at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. A few years back, professor Ed- wards invented a method to get past all that pesky cooking and actual con- suming of foods, describ- ing Le Whif as "a new way of eating." Hmmm…ponder with me. How might one add to the eons-old experience of preparing foodstuffs, put- ting them in one's mouth, and chewing repetitively? The answer was as clear as the red nose on Ru- dolph's face: breathe your food. Yep, you read that correctly. However, before you try pounding a fruit- cake and turkey into your nostrils, you might want to know a little more. Said Edwards: "Over the centuries we've been eating smaller and smaller quantities at shorter and shorter inter- vals. It seemed to us that eating was tending to- ward breathing, so, with a mix of culinary art and aerosol science, we've helped move eating habits to their logical conclusion. We call it whiffing." Personally, I don't buy the basic premise. I do agree that we've been eat- ing in shorter and shorter intervals. After all, can't one describe "non-stop" as the ultimate short in- terval? Yet, if the quanti- ties were getting smaller and smaller, I doubt that we'd be dieting and diet- ing, and our waistlines would be expanding and expanding. Nonetheless, Le Whif came burst forth onto the marketplace with all the drama and excite- ment as $99 big screen TVs on Black Friday, de- livering about 200 mil- ligrams of chocolate per puff, which is less than one calorie. The FAQ for the product explain how it could help with dieting, "When you eat a choco- late bar, most of the choc- olate passes through your mouth without actually contacting your taste buds. From a taste point of view, most of the choc- olate is not serving you, apart from delivering cal- ories through digestion. By whiffing, the choco- late has no chance to pass through your mouth with- out falling on your tongue or other surfaces in your mouth. Most of the choc- olate you whiff, you taste. If taste is driving you to eat more than you wish to eat, Le Whif can help." Okay, that kind makes sense to me; but I just drank three alcohol egg- nogs. The device makes a great stocking stuffer, ap- pearing as a cross be- tween a lipstick tube and an Asthma inhaler, and, in addition to choco- late, one may inhale four other flavors: mint, rasp- berry, mango and plain. Of course, all are calorie- free. Personally, I under- stand why chocolate is in the list; maybe even the others. However, wouldn't "plain flavored aerosol" just be air? Couldn't I just take a big old deep breath and have a full whiffy meal without paying for it? I see a hole in the busi- ness plan. For example, I envi- sion a future holiday party. Company enters the house, donned in gay ap- parel, conversations en- sue, hugs are shared. Af- ter the small talk, the pa- rade into the kitchen begins. Each person pulls out a chair and gathers around the table. "Oooh! What flavor are we having tonight?" asks one of the guests excit- edly. "Plain," comes the reply. "Take a deep breath. En- joy. And please help your- self to seconds, there's plenty for everyone." By the way, apparently there was not much of a market for Le Whif be- cause if one goes to the website that used to pro- mote it, one is redirected to a site to download an app to watch movies on your phone. I'm assuming the movies weren't block- busters, most likely they "stunk."

McCoy of Company H has decided to retire from the head of the local military company just as soon as the matters of the organization are places in shape. The decision of the part of Captain McCoy was taken after due delibera- tion. His business and fi- nancial interests need his daily attention. Then again Captain McCoy is a man of family and the military end does not meet with the approval of his family, and he feels that along with his business interests that the care of his family comes first. Captain McCoy is the owner of an 80-acre farm in the Antelope valley. Be- fore the call for border duty he was busy planting this eighty acres to prune trees. Now that this has been done he finds that his en- tire time will have to be given to this farm in order to make it the paying prop- osition that he anticipated at the start. — Dec. 2, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...
