ofits elaborate and timely article:
again, when milk-pails and dairy
utensils arc not properly cleaned, particles
of milk left in the corners and cracks de-
compose, and become mass of fungous
germs, which thus find an easy entrance to
the milk from day to day. And as these
germs are not killed by coming in conta, t
with hot water short of 2l20, or boiling

Why Late Suppers are luxurious.

We never sleep we'll when We eat a lac
supper. This is an argamcnfum nd homi-
scm from experience. A larger number Of
men that cat late suppers die suddenly
than of those who do not. This may be
called begging the question: but facts
prove it. Many of our politicians, who
are almost compelled to take late suppers,
have died suddenly. Witness the late
Governor Andrew, and the Hon. Mr..
Pond, President of the Senate, and this
without any moral delinquency We once
said to hale clergyman, past the meridian
of life, who was making hearty supper at
a late hour of roast.beef and mince pie,
Doctor, do you dare to eat heartily at this
late hour, 80, my food never hurts me-
= In few weeks his sudden death was re.
ported.
There are physiological reasons for late
suppers being injurious. 1t takes food
usually three hours to be digested, and
some kinds six hours. As the process
proceeds, more blood flows to the stomach
than when it is empty. This, of course,
creates greater action and as the old
theories of digestion, such as trituration
and decay, were completely exploded by
the observations of Dr. Beaumont, who had
the privilege of locking into the stomach
of Alexis St. Martin, and seeing the food
as it was dissolved by the gastric juice,
and as this juice was not poured out so
freely when he was asleep, this is reason
why food taken so late at night cannot
be digested so readily as when taken at
other times.-Good Health.
