FOOD IN OLD AGE
Strict Moderation should In All Cases BE
the Guiding Maxim

strict Moderation should In All Cases Be
the Guiding Maxim.
With regard to food, we find from
DIR. Humphreys report that ninety per
cent. of the aged persons 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 It's
sues gradually become less and less
active, and less food is required to
make up for the daily waste. The ap-
petite and the power OF digestion are
corresponding diminished, and, al
though for the attainment of great
age a considerable amount of digestive
power is absolutely necessary, its per-
lection, when exercised upon proper
articles of diet, is the most important
characteristic. Indulgence in the
pleasures of the table is one of the
common errors of advanced life, and
is not infrequent in persons who, up
to 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 law
fully enjoyed. Hence arise many Of
the evils and troubles of old age, and
notably indigestion and equity symp-
toms in various forms, besides
mental discomfort No hard and
fast rules can be laid down, but
strict moderation should be the
guiding maxim. The diet suitable for
most aged persons is that which con-
tains much nutritive material in a
small bulk, and its quantity should be
in proportion to the appetite and
power of digestion. Animal food,
well cooked, should be taken sparing-
ly and not oftener than twice a day,
except under special circumstances.
DR.. Parkes advocates rice as partial
substitute for meat when the latter IS
found to disagree with old persons.
ats starch grains are very digestible,
and it supplies nitrogen in moderate
amount, well fitted to the worn and
slowly-repaired tissues of the aged. !"
It's bulk, however. is sometimes dis
advantage; in small quantities it is a
valuable addition to milk and to
stewed fruit. The amount of food
should be divided between three or
four meals at fairly regular intervals.
A sense of fullness or oppression after
eating ought not to be disregarded.
1t indicates that the food taken has
been either too abundant or of i'm
proper quality. For many elderly
people the most suitable time for the
principal meal is between one and two
p. m AS the day advances the di-
gestive powers become less, and even
a Observation-Disclosures meal taken
in the evening may seriously overtask
them. Undigested food is a potent
cause of disturbed sleep, AN evil often
very troublesome to old people, and
one which ought to be carefully
guarded against.-Dr Robson Roose,
In Fortnightly Review.

FACTS ABOUT LIFE.
Merchants Live Longer Than Others and
Clerks Are the Shortest Lived.


Clerks Are the Shortest Lived
The statistics recently published
by leading life insurance company
contain many interesting points.
Americans live longer than our for
eign-born citizens.
Among foreigners, next to the
Americans, stand the Irish, English
and Germans, in the order named.
Few Germans or Englishmens die of
apOplexy.
Germans furnish the highest per-
centage of suicide.
Native Americans are comparatively
free from diseases of the liver.
Typhoid fever has the most victims
in the Northwest and the fewest in
the South, but in the latter section
there is large mortality from other
zymotic diseases and more liver dis
ease. but less kidney disease.
According to the facts collected by
this particular insurance company the
conditions in the South are less favor
able to life than in other parts of the
Union.
The report says:
From a comparison of the various
statistical tables it appears that the
occupation most conducive to longevity
is that of merchants. Next to these
in expectation of life comes farmers.
then follows in succession doctors,
lawyers. clergymen, shopkeepers and
hotelkeepers. 1t may be mentioned
that among hotel and saloonkeepers,
brewers and wholesale liquor dealers,
the deaths from consumption, heart
disease and zymOtic diseases are COM
paratively few, while the rate for nerv-
Gus diseases and diseases of the liver
is extremely high. Brokers follow
next to hotelkeepers as regards aver
age length of life, and then mechanics.
while the very last on the list. rank
ing even after those engaged in occu-
pants classed as hazardous and I'M
healthy" are clerks and persons en-
gagged in similar wholly sedentary Oc-
cupation. The statistics show that
one of the chief causes of short dura-
ton of insurance for this class is the
prevalence among them of consump-
ton, which causes the death of almost
one-third of the to tai number"
As these statistics are based upon
two thousand cases watched during
the past twenty-six years they are of
considerable value. but they are not by
any means conclusive. Atlanta Con.

FactS about Lnmps.

Oil has been burned in lamps for many
centuries, but no real improvement in oil
lamps was made until about 100 years ago,
OF about 1888, when NJ. Argand,a Swiss,
who lived in London, invented the
cylindrical wick and burner, which has
since borne his name. Soon after the
glass chimney was introduced and light
ing oil was fully rcyolutionized.
These two improvements multiplied the
hight to be obtained from Il lamp, and by
producing u perfect combustion of the
oil obviatcd the smoke aud bad odors
previously inscparablc from the use OF oil
lamps. Other improvements followed,
one of the most notable being the placing
Of the reservoir of oil below the burner
instead of above, making the lamp much
more convenient. This was discovery
Of Philip Girardc, Frenchman, about
1907.
