! the popular prejudice against eating at
night. Let me tell you my young friend.
that unless your stomach Is out of order.
it is more benefit to eat before going to
bed than it is harmful. Food of a SIM
pie kind induces sleep. At what hour
did you dine?" Six O'Clock" "Humph
Just what l thought. Fourteen hours
between dinner and breakfast. Enough
to keep any man awake. BY that time
the fuel necessary to send the blood
coursing through your system is burned
out. Animals sleep instinctively after
meals. Human beings become drowsy
after eating. Why? simply because the
juices needed in digestion are supplied by
the blood being solicited toward the
stomach. Thus the brain receives less
blood chan during the hours OF fasting.
and becoming paler the powers become
dormant. Invalils and those in delicate
health should always eat before going To
ness is call for food. Waketulness is
rftentimes merely Il symptom of hunger.
Crafty the desire and sleep ensues. The
feeble will be stronger if They eat on go
ing -- 80 persons ale exhausted
merely by the process of making their
toilet in the morning. A cup OF warm
milk aud toast on retiring. or of beef tea
on awakening, will correct it," But is
it not essential that tile stomach should
rest?' Undoubtedly. Yet when hun
cry we should eat. Does the infant
stomach rest as long as. the adults? Man
eats less often only because his food takes
more time for digestion. Invaids and
children at night may take slowly warm
milk, beef tea. or oatmeal. The vigor-
Gus adult can eat bread, milk, cold beef.

food. OF course it must be done in
moderation. You start home now and
