Nature has fixed no particular hours EoF

it is Of great importance to adopt fixed
hours; when it is irregular, we ought 10 be
guided by the real wants Of the system as
dictated by appetite.
A strong, IabOriOg man, engaged ia
hard work, will require food Oftener and
in larger quantities than al indOlent or se~

As general rule, about FIVE hours

shorter lift be very active.
When dinner is delayed seven or eight
hours after breakfast, some light refresh.
ment should be taken between.
Young persons when growing fast, re-
quire more food and at shorter intervals,
than those do who have attained maturity.
Children under seven years Of age, usu-
ally need food nearly every three hours;
a piece Of bread will be a wholesome lunch,
and child seldom eats bread to excess.
During the FIRST months Of infancy there
can be no set times Of giving nourishment.
the best rule is TO satisfy lheIeal wants of
the child, but never tempt it to take food to

hungry.
Those persons who eat q late supper
should not take breakfast Gill one or two
hours after rising. Those who dine late
aud eat nothing afterwards, require break
fast soon after rising.
Persons of delicate constitution should
never exercise before breakfast.
Ifexposure Of any kind is to be incurred
in The morning, breakfast should always
beItaken previously. The system is more
susceptible Of infection, and Of the inllu>
,enco of cold, miasWa, &Sc, ID the morning
before ealing than at any other time.
Those who walk early will find great
benefit from taking cracker or some little
nourishment before going out.
Never go into a room of a morning,

Ia setting out early TO travel, a light
breakfast before starting should always be
taken; it is great protection against cold,
fatigue and exhaustion.
Ia boarding schools for the young and

not be kept without food 10 the morning
till they are faint and weary.
Never eat a hearty supper just before
retiring 10 rest.
II is injurious to eat when greatly heated
or fatigued. Il would very much cOnduce
