Waiting convenient season is only an easy
way of decelving yourself into doing nothing
at ali. The earnest man or woman VIII make
all seasons convenient. The very opposition
he encounters Will be an incentive to the &C
compllshment of his purpose.
Ii you wait for a convenient season you VIII
miss every opportunity IN life that Is worth
the having All the pleasures of life will slip
past you, because you are not quite ready TO
take advantage of them. Every bright pros
pect for lettering your condition will pass
away and leave you, Iaggard in the race, TO
bemoan your sad fate, while you see others IL
full possession of coveted good things.

yenient season. Every time you say 90 thy

NAV pine all your life long To possess. con-
yenieut season is like the morning that comes
with rosy-tipped fingers knocking on your
double barred blinds. The morning is bright
and benefeent 1t is laden with chaplets of
roses and measures of grain. But suppose you

thy way; when i have slept a little mere 1
will awake and run after thee?" Will the
morning wait? VIII the sunshine tarry? Are
chaplets of roses to be gathered from the lap
of darkness, or golden grain plucked from the
wings of nigbt2 Enjoy your sleep, aud revel
in the fances of your slumber! But when you
awake. and the shadows and dews of the night
are heavy about you, what viii avail your
repinings?
o idiers, waiting a convenient season, rise!
Open your darkened w.udows! A miracle OF
bounteous nature is passing above you. Tut
on the glad garments of opportunity 90 out
into sunshine. Hold up both hands for your
portion. Ran after the elusive steps OF destiny
and do not let her go. he is dupe and dolt
who believes in a convenient season. Be nei-
tber Make all occasions convenient and show
your wisdom in the mastery OF all.
DIET FOR INvALIDs
Certain articles of food are particularly de-
sirabe for invalids and for the reasons assigned,
while, for equally good reasons, other articles
should be avoided.
Game, as it is rich in phosphates, is always
valuable.
Bruiled bacon, busted with cayenne pepper,
will Otter agree with delicate stomach when
nothing else viii, as il is an easily digested
form of fat.
Boiled onions are soothing to the mucous
membrane. and in inflammation of the stomach
are helpful, when piece of white bread could
not be digested.
Vanilla should never be used as havoring
for sick people. 1t is unpleasant in its medici-
nal action upon the kidneys and other organs
Eggs, well beaten and mixed with milk or
cream. are quickly absorbed by the stomach
and highly uutrtive. If cooked, let them be
either very soft or hard enough to be crum-
bled.
Soups, made largely of cream or milk, are
more digestibie than those rich in gelatine.
Pepper may be used when slight stimulant
is required, Tut white or cayenne is less irri-
tating than black.
Sugary and starchy food should be avoided
by those of diabetic tendencies but oysters
fish, meat, poultry, game, ETC., may be used in
plenty.
Thin people, with weak digestion, should
avoid fine flour products, pastry, sugar. and
fats, as they keep the system in a ieverish, dys-
peptic state.
Consumptive people should be well supplied
with fat in the form of cream. sweet butter,
fat OF roasted or boiled meat the fat of ham
and corn-beef, oil, salads, corn-meal. oatmeal,
etc.
