OF IL, or nervous,
pert, pallid boys and girls who go about
with eyeglass strings dangling at their but
tonholes. The more physical improvement
is talked about, the wider mistakes are
made, from the propensities of mammas and
teachers to take a part for the whole and pin
their faith on some fad in bringing up their
boys and girls instead of narrowly watching
the whole round of physical care.
The dumpy girl, weighing from 14o to 100
in her teens, is trial to her mothers eyes
and Jest to the other young folks Her
flesh does not promise we'll for her future
and it is in the way of her study and spirits.
The fault is not her own, but that of the
person who provided her daily food from
her toddlehood. She had the child's liking
for slops of every kind-oatmeal and milk,
mealy potatoes, mashed and swimming in
milk or gravy; puddings foated with cream
sauce-food which makes little use
of teeth and goes to lympnatic, fabby fat.
THE PIE CRUST PRODUCT.
The pie and pickle product of humanity
is not yet extinct and you can trace II
through life by peculiar unbaked tenacity
of taste and ideas. The lard pie and dough-
nut flavor is so thoroughly inwrought that
tions in perspiration, vote and opinion-a
general clogg and lardaceous condition of
brain and body. The piecrust complexion
of the Eastern States is more marked and
less attractive than the soda, bilious sallow-
ness of the Mississippi lowlands.
The best fighting troops in the late war,
with the clearest heads and most reserve of
strength, came from the part of the coun-
try which affords the best bread-the North
west. They did not talk so much about
their work as most other regiments. They
went in and finished the fighting. That
was before the days of corrugated -four,
however. 1t is doubtful if the same State s
could make as good a showing at the
next call, after aageneration fed on baked
paste in lien of sound bread. What the
children of to-day want is new sort of
breadst aff principally. The childish par
tiality for crisp, crumbly crackers ought to
inform us of the nutrition nature takes most
kindly. A cracker Of the entire wheat
kernel, ground into a meal which divides
the scaly envelope as fine as the starchy
-four within, mixed with milk, water, salt
and little shortening of any fat but lard,
baked crisp and nicely Drowned, is the food
for sound health, brilliant, lucid skins and
strong, slender bones.

DEMANDS THOROUGH BAKING.

The Scotch oatcake, the favored bread of
English farmhouses, the Indian and Turk
ish, Russian and German provincial bakery
is after this sort and it is the wholesomest
and pleasantest bread in the world. But it
demands more baking than it ever gets. The
brown crust or cracker undergoes change
which renders it less capable of acidifying,
and it shares with charcoal the property of
neutralizing morbid contents of the stomach.
Children will be saved half their small
miseries if from babyhood their bread and
crackers are toasted brown and crisp through
before eating. Persons of uncertain diges-
tion should eat no bread that is not toasted
brown and dry. Ahost of unpleasant symp-
toms will give notice by their absence of
the soundness of this advice from the best
physicians. Obese people should eat toast
brown throughout to keep down flesh.
All our food needs much more cooking
than it gets, especially cereals and vege-
tables. which should boil with slow heat
fully an hour to develop their best flavor
and tenderness. Cereals are much richer
in flavor for being cooked and fried with a
very little butter or the cotton oil fats till
crusted brown on both sides. Fried with
quick fire, which produces dry crust,
not soaked with the fat, is perfectly we'll
borne by invalids besides being very
toothsome .'

COOKED FRUITS ARE SAFE.

Apples or pears, baked all night into
iellied richness, apple sauce, ready to
thicken with its own sugary gum; apples
cooked clear in syrup thick as honey,
plums in violet syrup-most healthful Of
fruits-and pale peach preserve, all these
are recommended for sensitive digestions,
contrary to the received tenet that rich
sweets are unsafe. Those who cannot eat
ripe fruit or plain stewed fruit without dis
tresS find the syrupy preserves acceptable
and easy of digestion, because first, the
fruit has been thoroughly cooked, the sugar,
antiseptic in itself when pure, has been
boiled and clarified from every germ of
ferment and the blending of highly purified
sugar and fruit juice is most grateful to the
system.
The concentrated forms of sugar are we'll
taken in advanced disease, rock candy and
clarified syrrIps proving the finest nutrition
in consumption and nervous disorders. Make
your own syrups, or at least reboil them at
home, and you may allow your children
their natural sweets without fear. Perfect
ly pure sweets seem to afford much the same
nutriment as meat in different shape, and
the avidity with which herbivora and car
niyora alike-horses, dogs, cats and sheep
will eat sugar is enough to disprove the
theory Of its unhealthfulness.
MEAT AND LOVE OF SWEETS.
A disordered digestion may not be able to
take sugar any more than hundred other
natural things which are none the less
healthful. Children are better allowed a
moderate quantity of rich sweets at meals
than frequent nibbling at sugar and candy.
Children denied sufficient meat will crave
rich sweets immoderately, and must have
them or their nerves will suffer. Give
them more meat in shape of
gravy or rich broths, and the appe-
tite for sweet things will disappear, or

THE BOARD OF LADY MANAGERS.

When lovely woman stoops TO public Office and
finds too late that she must fight just like the
horrid men, nobody can regret it more deeply than
The Tribune. That gentle, timid, sweet-voiced
woman should be obliged to jerk the hair both
natural and artificial, out of the head of her
feow-women, or should have to rush into court
that most absurd place where reason is given
such ridiculous promincnce-or that she should
find it necessary in any similar way to assert her
self after the manner Of men TO secure her rights
is one of the most melancholy things in connection
with the advanced civilization of the present day
But surely as the paths of glory lead but to the
grave, just surely do the paths of women in
public Office lead hut TO personal encounters and
lawsuits. We need not refer TO the recent case
Of Alderman McKeon and City Treasurer Bartrom,
who brought great scandal upon the Westward,
