THE wf5EETNC DAILY TUESDAY MORNING NOVEMB

and nourishing articles that should COM
nose This meal. Vegetables Should enter
largely into this meal.
Wadd has told MS that "among the ASIA
tics there are Brahmins who pride them
selves ubon their. extreme eorpulency'
Their diet consists OF farinaceous .vegeta-
bles. milk, sugar, sweatmeats and ghee::
They look upon corpulency as u proof oil
opuiency, and many arrive at q great ae-
gree OF obesity without tasting anything
that has ever lived"
DIR. Fothergill stated that strict vege-
table diet produces exhuberant lat more
certainly than other means.
Another value Of vegetable food, II il
stimulating. In fact, recent observations
have demonstrated that It is the best form
OF diet to control the desire OF stimulants.
Condiments, spices, acids and stimi-
Iants, unless very mild, should be avoided.
Cold water should also be cschewed, as II
chills the stomach and thoroughly weak
ems il. The drink should be chocolate or
milk. This meal should be eaten slowly
with pleasant company. An half hour
rest or siesta should then be INDUCED in,
II possible. The whole force OF the body
shouldnow be concentrated on digestion
and assimilation.
II our business men should follow this
plan. insisting on their employees doing
likewise, fewer Of them would "break
down" or up, and more and better WORK
would be the result.
Persons who are broken f-their rest ut
night, rs physicians, for example, can re-
crnit the brain by INDUCING in a hearty
meal, which is Supplying.
II this meal lays heavy on the stomach,
as IL often does with dyspeptics, l have
found that drink Of plain hot water
(sweetened or sailed to taste), aids nicely
to complete digestion.
About 3 or 1 r. NJ, drink OF water
should be taken. Precipitation at this
time OF the day is often relief, II not ex.
cessive.
The eveningmeal should Delight. Bread
and tea with mild form OF sauce Is not
amiss. The tea should be weak and well
MIXED. Bread and milk, or oat meal musll
and milk is almost too substantial, unless
the person is exhausted and hungry. The
milk should be warmed with water. The
general system, at this time OF day, needs
rclief-a cleaning out-and this accom-
plished by the light stimulating food. A
hearty meal at this hour clogs the circula-
ton, and makes sleep heavy and unrefresh:
ing, unless late hours are INDUCED in. II
the person must be up for four or five
hours more, this meal should be more
substantial than II one is to retire ut nine
o'clock. Children and old people should
retire early. Artificial light taxes the brain
and nervous system, and the less OF 1t the
better for health and sound sleep.
Before retiring half glass OF water
should DO drank. This quickens the cir
culation, aids the elimination OF post
organic matter from the tissues, and en-:
surcs quiet and refreshing sleep. Little II
any brain work should be done at this
recruiting time. The brain needs diver
sion. This Is the time for friendly society:
II habit OF night-work has been acquired
it should be broken UP as speedily rs pos
sible. The fact that consumptives, IS q
rule, are "owls," should be evidence
enough that night-work OF any kind is too
consuming. There Is more truth than
poetry in the maxim,
''Early to bed and carly TO rise
Mako man healthy, wealthy anu wise.
