HEALTH-How TO PREVENT
SPRING DISEASES From DIR.
Halls new work, "Health by
Good Living" we extract the fol.
lowing valuable hints:
It's an indisputable, physiolo-
gical truth that if the instincts
of nature were yielded to in the
spring; were cherished in her de-
sire to take less and less food as
the weather grows warmer, as
they are yielded to in the autumn
in taking more, a very large a.
mount of the diseases of spring
and summer would be avoided.
The great practical lesson to be
learned in reference to the sub
Ject, a question of health and
disease, yes, in multitudes of cases
a question of life and death, is
simply this: as the winter passes,
and the balmy spring-tims comes
on, do nothing to increase the ap-
petite; eat no more than is called
for; do not be uneasy because you
have little or no relish for your
food; eat less every day. The
very way to increase your pleas
ure of eating is to change the
quality of food; use articles less
carbonaceous, less warming; send
from your table the pork and ba-
con, and fat meats and oils, and
sugars, and starches, and sage and
the tapioca buildings, and the
dumplngs, and the rich pastries;
get hold of the early "greens, ;"
the spinach, the salads, the turnip
tops,the radish, the early berry and
fruit, and lean meats; pay increas-
ing attention to the cleanliness of
the skin; be more in the open air
sleep in better ventilated rooms
let your windows be raised high
1t night and your inner doors be
eft wide open.

A Physician on Dancing.

plishment of dancing, SO pervert-

the nervous fearfuIly predominant
with great irritability of the
system, peevish, passionate, dys-
peptic, sleepless, exactiHg, arbi-
trary and uncomfortable; the poor
child looked sad, old, morbid and
miserable. She had, been to
school, because her parents thought
it an amusement for her to be with
other children. After critically

"The same as my owp," she re-
piled. "Then the child is doubly

to restore her to health. Divorce
her Immediately from anything
mental, so far as memorizing is
concerned; send her to dancing
school, that she may combine ex-
ercise with order and melody, and
thus some of her rough edges may
be rounded" The child's eyes

A nice afternoon school revived
the little girl who grew in health
and harmony every month as she
followed the hygienic rules pre-
scribed for her. Dancing is a
beautiful, graceful recreation, and
is not responsible for the abuse
luxury has thrown around it. The
vulgarism and excitements of the
ballroom have no more to do
with the simple enjoyment of the
dance than the rich wine and
sumptuous banquets of the gour-
mand, in whom they induce dis
ease, have to do with the temper
ate repasts that satisfy the natu-
raj wants of the body.--Dr. Il. K.
