The Effects of OyereatinC.

That not few dig their graves with their
teeth is an undeniable fact. There are some
the class is largely ma lie up OF women
who are insuificiently fed, but by far the ma
jority of people eat too much, and hence
severely tax their digest We organs. Those
organs are active and strong only as the rest
of the system is so. A powerful robust man
has strong digestive powers, while he with
muscles soft and habby from disuse must be
weak in those important functions. Coarse,
hearty food is well borne by the one, while
the other could not properly dispose of it,
and would suffer in the attempt. 1t is safe
TO say that very much of the sickness which
now exists in the world would have been
avoided hal those who suffer wisely chosen
their food, eaten it at pro Der intervals and in
proper quantities
If a man employed all day at his desk, I'M
able to take other exercise than u short walk
to and from his place of business, eats
heartily for breakfast of sausages, boiled
eggs and sweet potatoes, washed down with
a cup of strong coffee, the chances are he
will find he has overtaxed his digestion. But
at dinner time he will have, very likely, re-
covered sufficiently to feel equal to dsposing
of a boiled dinner or food nearly as hearty.
For two or three hours ter that he is some
what dull and heavy, anu cannot seem to ac-
complsh much. Yet, on reaching home, he
has for supper cold meat, very likely fried
potatoes, possibly eggs on toast, some sauce
and cake or pie
When he goes to bed lie does not sleep at
once, or, if he does, ne is disturbed by
dreams The next morning his tongue is
dry. or he has a bad tastB and his head feels
| dull and heavy. The significance of these
| symptoms he does not try to understand, but
| very likely attributes them to smoking be-
| fore going to bed, or some other influence as
| far from the right one. And So he goes on
| day after day, until at asst he is absolutely
| forced to realize that he is a chronic dyspep-
| tic and his whole system is broken down. AT
| first it would have been easy to remedy mat
| tiers, but not so after the fault had existed
| for a considerable length of time. Once dys
pepsia is acquired and become chronic, it is
| not so easy to cure, as all who have suffered
| from it know. And the person who has it is
made liable to many otner serious diseases
especially those which come on insidiously
A strong digestion is the surest safeguard
| against many of the ills of modern life

Divorces in England are re srded as al

The English wife is freer Still she is very
submissive to her good lord as a rule But
in society's doings she is autocrat absolutely.
An EnSlishman may not drag tom, Dick

he takes such friend or friends to his club.
Business topics are never canvassed at Eng

cuss mans business occupation. Often the
nature of it is unknown to even intimate
friends.
An English woman counts the bearing of
children as her truest womanly dignity.
