 To PUT BACK A CoLD.-So soon ss you feel that you are taking cold-and you will generally have notice before it amounts to much = place your feet into water made as warm as you can bear, and keep them there about ten minutes. Change them, then, into a vessel containing cold water-if ice water, all the better-and hold them in 1t about 8 minute after which wipe dry and put on warm stockings. This treat ment will never fail to put back a cold, as I can testify from having practiced 1t successfully for over three years. The feet seem to govern a cold, and thls bathing them first In warm water and then in cold leaves them all agiow, the effect of which is soon felt throughout the entire system.-J Parish Stelle.
 THE FooD REQUISITE TO SUSTAIN HEALTH It is difficult to lay down any strict rule as to the amount of food to be taken in twenty-four hours by grown up people. Men require more animal i food than women, and those engaged in active exercise require much more than those who live a sedentary life. Labor CTS can get through much more work in day when we'll fed than when living on moderate diet. The different kinds of food should be well apportioned it IS equally bad to live on purely-farina- ceous diet as it would be to take only fat or meat. What is required for a state of health is to take fair propor- tion of each. It is important, also, that meals should be taken with regularity, as it is a very bad plan to allow inter- vals of varying lengths between meals. It has been estimated that the food re- quired every twenty-four hours by 6 man ill full health, and taking free exer. else, is of meat Is oz., bread 19 oz., fai 34 oz., and of water 52 fluid oz; that is about two and one-half pounds of solit food and about three pints of fluid.
