RESPECT YOUR STOMACH.
A MEMBER WHICH SOMETIMES RISES
IN REBELLION.
The Idea of tho Ancients-Woman's Gull
nary Horizon-NIcn Eat Too Much and
\ WARMING

Let no man take liberties with his stomach
nor woman neither, for that matter. The
stomach is long suffering member, but
like tn, Worm, it will turn upon occasion.
Most men love their stomachs, but few re-
spcct them But that is where they make a
large mistake Take care of your stomach.
You have only one, and you don't know
when you're going to get another In these
days OF development and discovery, nothing
is moro probable than tho improbable, and
it is risky business hazarding positive and
deinitive statement on any subject; but it is
safe to say that no man will ever get second
stomach any moro than he will second soul
Therefore it bchooves him to be good to
both.
Take care of Your stomach and it will take
care of You. Abuse it and WOO be unto yor
The ancients made tho stomach the seat of
the affections, and with good reason. Some
even s" so far as to center the soul there 1t
is certain that tho hadcs of the divorce court
is filled with cases that can be traced direct
to defective cuisine, and who shall say how
many lost souls have gone down to pcrditon
who dated their first dereliction from duty
back to the deadly frying pan, and their
lal from grace to the diabolical agency of
half baked doushl
HALO OR A HALTER.
Women desire to widen their sphere. Let
them enlarge their culinary horizon. Tho
woman who invcnts II new dish deserves Il
halo or II halter. according to tho dish

her baking. Her children rise up and call

too little And both are apt to forget that
quality has more, or should have more, to dc
with the matter than quantity. Few women
have what may lro called the "aliincntivc
sense properly developed. The average
woman seems 10 consider it her special
duty and proud prcrogativc to cater to that
hisA and nlighty monarch, her lord and
masters stomach and to let her own severely
alone.
But, even i'll this era of cookery schools,
how often can she intciligcnty cater to any
body's stonacht She knows all about cakes,
candy and lickshaws, but when it comes TO
the sllbstantialS where is she! And when it
comes to the aesthetics of eating how many
OF either men OF women arc ''thcres'
Married women eat moro than single wo-
men, not SO much us matter of taste as of
habit, and because food is lying around.
Men must have their regular meals, and what
they don't want, women will cat rather than
see it go to waste
UTTERLY DEMoRALIZED.
1t is notorious that women become utterly
demorallze,l as to their eating, when tho
"mcn folks are away from home for any
length Of time. Whether the family be rich
orpoor seems to make little difference with
women, who almost invariably abandon tho
regular dinner when tho head of the house is
away, and drift into the slovenly and harm
full habit of ''picking up" such odds and
cnds-mostly sweet stuff and picklcs-as may
come handy. If men were good for nothing
else i'll house, they would be we'll worth
their care and keep" just to hold tho wo-
mankind to some sort of regularity and
sense i'll the matter of their meals
1t is the single women, however, who most
need taking in hand-tho working girl,
especially Some of them deny themselves
The neccssarics of life in order to put the pro
ceeds of their lnartyrdonl upon their backs
Poor misguided young creatures! Haven't
they sense enough TO know that bright eyes,
rosy checks and calico arc moro attractive
and will catch n husband sooner than dull
orbs, sallow face and satinss
This is the season of tho year when man
kind generally are likely to be reminded that
they have stonlachs. Tho gala days draw
near when digestive organs do not digest
when baby uxuriatcs in collie, papa curvets
"ith cramps and mamma succumbs to the
'morbus"
There is Il good old saying that an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure The
doctors have slain their thousands, and tho
cucumber its tens of thousands. Remember
this, and respect your stomach.-Mary Nor
ton Bradford in Boston Globe.
