BOSrON's IDEAL FOOD.-At the session of the
yesterday, Prot. Atwater, of Wesleyan univer.
s;ty, Mlddietown, Conn, In speaking on the
ECONOMY OF Food, argued at some length
that, owing TO ignorance, there is, especially on
the part of the poor, heavy ex penditure for
what Is OF little worth and great waste of ma
terial: Because of this condition of facts the
statistician has an important work to perform
in celebrating the food question. Prot. At
water aftirms that a mixed diet is one that is
best In every way, and that chemistry shows
that the New England dishes, pork and beans
and goldfish and potatoes approach more nearly
than any others the standard Of the ideal ra-
ton.

Mrs. Mary McElroy is the Presidents

The facial likeness between the brother
and sister is remarkable, but she is be-

hair are dark. The lady is exceedingly
affable and pleasiug.

Destroy that Sign.

One may feel that he's getting old,
but he naturally dislikes that anything
about his appearance should advise
others of the fact. Yet nothing does
this so effectually as thin and falling
hair. No woman wants to marry a
man, and business firms hesitate to
employ a man, who shows this fatal
sign. Parkers Hair Balsam Is worth to

weight in diamonds. Use ii, and have
