sailed meat is much less nutritious
than fresh. 1t has been ascertained
chemically that brine extracts from
the muscular tissue much of it's nutri-
tive principle.
Dalton places next after beef, as
being most valuable as nutriment,
mutton and venison; then the flesh OF
fowls, the various kinds of game birds,
and lastly, fish.
The opinion of modern French
scientists, as presented in the article
on food in the "Nouveau Dictonnaire
de Medicine may be noted and read
with interest. According to this
authority, Fish is only slightly nutri-
tive, out easily digestible. Its exclu-
tive use would soon produce a diminu-
ton of muscular force, paleness of the
tissues. and all the signs of an alimen-
tation insufficient in quality.
"Fish is more digestible than the
white meat of fowl.
'sThe flesh of shellfsh crustaceans is
hard of digestion.
Roast meat is more digestible than
boiled.
Eggs very slightly cooked and
dairy products are more digestlble
than white meats.
nOf vegetables the feculents are the
most digestible.
New bread is heavier than stale
bread.

art gives a liquid or semi-liquid form
are in general more digestible.

Add to these facts the remark of
Dalton:-"Cheese contains the nutri-
tious elements OF the milk in a con
densed but somewhat indigestible
form"
Nevertheless, you will eat a little
cheese after your dinner; for, as Bril-
lat-Savarin hath it, IA dessert with
out cheese is like a beautiful woman
with only one eye."
OF the vegetable tribe, ~lentils, beans
and peas are the most n~ourishing.
Fruit, when perfectly ripe, is most
easy of digestion, because the juice of
fruit consists of pure grape sugar (glu-
coseI and water, and it is in the form
of grape sugar that all starchy food is
finally absorbed into the system.-

OOh a. 4VNA -
In speaking of her husband a
woman never makes a mistake if she
calls him "Mr." or my husband" 1t
is sometimes difficult to decide when
the husband has a title just what the
wife should do with it. This is the
severest rule. In speaking of her
husband she should not say General
A. or doctor b." but "Mr. A.
.'Mr. b. No matter what he is
Judge, Governor, captain-to her he
is and should be plain "Mr. A." Mrs.
Grant never even when her husband
was President spoke of him as other
than Mr.. Grant, though it is the GUS
tom of the Presidents wife to speak
of him as 1.-THE President"
The one exception to this rule oil
ignoring her husbands oficialor pro-
fessional titles is when the wife pres
ents him to anyone else. Then she says
s'my husband, Senator Smith," OF
simply, ''Dr. Jones'" The reason fol
this is evident. 1t gives the proper
clue to the stranger, who would wish,
of course, to address the new acquain.
lance with the proper title.
Last of all, let any wife take heed
how she wears her husbands title and
allows herself to be spoken of as Mrs.
Governor Jones" or Mrs. Secretary
Smith, No matter what title her
husband has, she has no more right
to wear it than she has to wear his
shoes.-PhIIadelphid Inquirer. 3,
