” Sarah’s Food Boss Is Here to Diet Us” was the way Mr. Hearst’s New York Journal announced the arrival in this country of Dr. Julie La Salle Stevens, of Paris, former dietitian of Sarah Bernhardt. She proposes to impart to the American populace some of the dietetic principles which made the divine actress one of the seven wonders of the modern world for her vitality at an advanced age. Bernhardt’s diet was simple and salutary — orange juice, stewed fruit, eggs, whole wheat bread, baked potatoes, salads, etc. Many Americans are undeniably foolish eaters, but Dr. Stevens will find that American dietitians have been proclaiming such principles with good effect these many years.
