AND WHAT TO EAT.

It is entertaining to sec how so many
people eat in Boston. Here, and for that
matter ell over the east, dish Of oatmeal
is deemed tho necessary prepnratiye and
foundation for breakfast. Half tho peO-
pie don't really like the oatmeal. They
swallow it perfunctorily, aud as r sort OF
medicine. It is supposed to give q great
deal Of strength. After they have eaten
the oatmeal and forced it down their pro-
testing stolnachs for sake Of strength, they
turn to and eat warm biscuit, sausages.
ham and other foods for the pleasure That
thereby may be given the palate.
This part OF the world reeks with rari-
Gus kinds Of 'ihealth foods'' and people
who are trying to live on health foods.
A man starts 4 'shealth bread" and q
health bakery He starts little paper
or circular with it to prove how unhealthy
are all other kinds of bread; how, in fact,
the race is dying out from eating all other
kinds Of bread; how he has arisen, sort
of bread savior. just in time to rescue oil
mankind from dying of dyspepsia through
eating other breads; how other breads are
all but poisonous, because the mill that
ground the grain into -four knocked of OF
each kernel Of wheat bit Of substance
about half the size Of an atom, which is
the only part Of the wheat which Gun give
the real stingo, the very essence of Life,
vigor, morality, refinement, animation
and 'sgit up and git" to the mortal body,
and show that's what's the matter with
everybody, because all other mills but his
grind this of and out Of the wheat, fact
which he discovered only after years Of
dyspepsia and meditation on tho subject.
This paper does the whole business.
All other bread after that looks Like loaves
Of poison, disease and death to you. You
travel three miles out Of your way to buy
loaf of this life and health giving arti.
Gle, and go home hugglng 1t under your
arm and clinging to it as your only straw
and hope In life. You can't make meal
without this bread. II you do eat other
bread you are so sure 1t viii give You dys.

after that 1t does give 1t to you, for you
know that you can think yourself into

Just as you can think yourself into any

society that you fix your mind perse-
yeringly upon.
GREAT FOR TILE NERVES.
But this is indeed wonderful age. Ma.
ture has given out -and failed to provide
healthy food for man. Man has come to
the rescue. We have now s'liquid foods"

in Boston don't get any strength from our

MY suffering friend, you who think and
study over every bit you put into your
mouth as to the reception 1t will meet as
it enters whatever Of stomach you have
left, it doesn's matter o continental OF
otherwise what you eat that lies In the or.
binary catalogue OF foods. It's this eter-
nal thinking about Its effect on yon and
wondering OF fearing that it will work the
wrong way and make you feel disagree
able that makes you feel disagreeable. II
you fear that bread won't agree with you
it will be pretty certain not to do so. OF
course, in your present immature and un-
developed state you have not yet arisen to
that degree Of power whereby you can de-
your tenpenny nails, arsenic, oak chips
or wooden clocks with impunity. But you
don't want to devour them. Your palate
doesn't banker after them. Therefore let
them alone. Don't order such things ct
the restaurant or from your grocer.
THEN DON'T EAT 1t.
II you gag at the sight Of your regular
plate of oatmeal for breakfast don' t eat it.
It does you no good when you do
not relish it. No food nourishes that the
palate doesn't relish and take hold Of Wig
orously. Nature put appetite anu taste
and relish for foods as sentinel,
Wariler, a keeper to tell man what was
good for him and when 1t was good for
him. Eat as cow, q horse, bird, 9
squirrel, rat eats-that is, when you're
hungry. Ent what you enjoy and enjoy
what you eat and stop worrying over it
and it will do you good. If you like
oysters and fried oysters at II o'clock at
highland that's the time Of all times
that you most relish then-cat them at
that time and defy dyspepsia and kick out
OF your mind all and every approach OF
anxiety and foreboding over the matter.
You put anxiety into your stomach when
you think anxiety. II you like ale with
your oysters at the eleventh hour drink
it. You needn't drink a barrel. You
