DIPHTHERIA IN CHEWING GUN
The Disease Passed by Little Girl To
Three PlaymaUes.

Bridgeport (Conn.) Spec. to N. Y. Evening Word
About ten days ago little Amy Muir
ply, living at West End, was chewing
gum, and, not feeling we'll, gave the
gum she had been masticating to anoth-
er little girl. The latter chewed it for a
while and then passed it to two other
playmates. All four girls were soon
afterward taken down with diphtheria,
and two have since died. The phys
icians say that the disease was carried
from the Murphy child to the others in
the chewing-gum.

FOOD In OLD AGE.
Most Aged Persons are Very Moderate
Eaters.

From the Fortnightly Review.
With regard TO food We find from Dr. Hum
phrey's report that ~ per cent of the aged per-
sons were either moderate" or small" eaters.
and such moderation is quite in accord with
the teachings of physiology. In old age the
changes in the bodily TISSUES gradually become
less and less active. and less food is required
to make up for the daily waste. The appetite
and the power of digestion ecorrespondingly
diminished, and although for the attainment
OF a great age considerable amount of digest
i've power is absolutely necessary, its perfec-
ton, when exercised upon proper articles Of
Diet is the most important characteristic. In
diligence in the pleasures of the table is one Of
the common errors of advanced life. and is not
lnfrequent IN persons who, up 10 that period,
were moderate or even small eaters. Luxuries
in the way of food are apt to be regarded as
rewards that have been fully earned by life
OF labor and may, therefore, be lawfully en-
joyed. Hence arise many of the evils and
troubles Of old age, and notably in
digestion and equity symptoms in
various forms, besides mental dis
comfort. No hard and fast rules can be laid
down, but strict moderation should be the guild
ing maxim. The diet suitable for most aged
persons Is that which contains much nutritlve
material in a small bulk. and Its quantity should
be in proportion TO the appetite and power Of
be taken sparingly and not oftener than twice
a day, except under special circumstances. DIR.
Parkes advocates rice partial substitute for
meat when the latter is found to disagree with
old persons. Its starch grains are very d.
gestible, and it supplies nitrogen in moderate
amount, well fitted TO the worn and slowly-re-
paired tissues of the aged" Its bulk, however,
Ii sometimes a disadvantage; in small quantities
1t Is a valuable addition TO milk and to stewed
fruits. The amount of food taken should be
divided between three or four meals at fairly
regular intervals. A sense of fullness or OPP
preston after eating should not be disregsrded.
1t indicates that the food taken has been either
too abundant or of improper quality. For
many elderly people the most suitable time for
the principal meal is between / and pm. As
the day advances the digestive powers become
less, and even a moderately substantial meal
taken in the evening may seriously overtask
them. Undigested food is potent cause Of
disturbed sleep, an evil often very troublesome
to old people. and one which ought 70 be care
fully guarded against

but by the simple, silent power of its presence.
1t has grown with the growth of our nation

one century. In another century it may num-
Der 200, 600, 900 or 800, 100000. No nation and
no language has increased with such rapiditv.
With the development of our resources our in
huence in Europe is constantly extending
Europe is getting Americanized very fast L
well remember when the English was taught in
very few schools and colleges when but two or
three German divines (Tholuck and Neander)
could converse in English, and when one
American divine was known in Germany-Dr
Edward Robnson-and he only because his
epoch-making work in Palestine was published
in a German translation by his wife simulta-
neously with the original. But now the English
is almost as much taught as the French and
the English and American classics are re-
published by TauchnitZ of Leipsic for CONT
