Some riders choose to take no regular
meals at all during their journey, pre-
ferring to carry with them some plain
and simple food and drink, like meat
biscuit aud bottle of cold tea or mix,
and TO partske Of little very frequent
ly as they go along not even caring to
dIsmount for the partaking of the re-
lreshment. We understand that this
plan answers very wei indeed when
long distance has to be made anu there
Is little or no time for rest. 1t is better.
nevertheless, to dismouut take light
meal OF mixed food, rest for a good long
time to let digestion have full swing,
and then on again, gently at first, brisk
ly afterward. Such pan gives good
digestion of the food, quick and excel
lent distribution of it over the body for
nutrtive purposes, and healthy and
sharp appetite for the meal that Is next
to come. The diet itself can scarcely
be too SIMPLE. Animal food should be
fresh, not salted, and well cooked; light
animal foods like dsh an fowl and NUT

fresh vegetables and fresh fruit are al

must speak with some care. 1t is not
very difficult to learn tricycle. without
desire for too much drink of any kind.
But if the beginner does not learn to
breathe through the nose, if he ac-
4uire the habit of breathing through
the mouth, he Is sure to acquire also
the desire to take liquids far too freely.
He will become so dry in the mouth he
viii feel he cannot get on unless he has
to queGch his thirst, and
that is an evil habit even though the
drink be as innocent as the purest water
itself. The first point. therefore, Is to
drink as little AS possible; TO drink as
much as will fill up the loss that Is
made by evoporatIng of the water from
the body and not any more.
