digestive injuries, steady tssking the
brain is a sure way to overthrow the
nerves altogether. The harm done

Of various degrees of unwholesome

spring from two causes indigestion
and want of fresh air.
The diet of schools and students
everywhere needs special supervision,
which it will not have till the skill OF
the physician, cook and gsstronome
combine in one person. Doctors are
not SC far out OF the way when they
ordain for i'll nourished rich girls the
least amount of study which will be
tolerated by school authorities. They
see further into life than college presI-
dents and do their best to make the
trail outfit of strength last into the
future.
Natures instinct for self-preserva-
tion prompts much of the Sinking
which tries the souls OF high minded
teachers. Let them take this encour-
sgement to heart and make themselves
allies of nature instead of waging per-
petual wasting war upon her. Simpli-
~ study to the last degree, shorten
tasks till they cannot be burdensome.
Then insist on Tecitations being letter

Experience proves beyond question
that the condensed activity OF modern
life cannot be kept up without ample
supplies OF the food which is readIest

beef and mntton aud other flesh which

cereals and milk. The latter is a most
important fool, supplying the mater

All the young love apples, and q
or two should be eaten before break
last. and the same before dinner. Then
walk around leisurely. Let this be
lbout half an hour before your meal.
Play if you choose, but DO no work.
Then eat lightly OF beef, mutton, fowl,
or fish. Use apple sauce or boxed
spples. Eat vegetables that you like
n moderate quantities. Let pastry en-
;Irely alone. You do not needit. You
nave eaten enough. For supper par
lake of fruit sauce aud cereals. Drink
chocolate if You find it sgrees. With
this diet yoa will gain strength faster
Than with more meat and less fruit.
You will not lay on fat, but muscle, |
and your whole ply sical economy will

RolliD, speaking of the athletes of
Greece, says that their chief food was
igs, nuts. soft cheese and coarse bread.
Modern Greeks are peculiarly athletic, |
md their food is black bread, With o
ounch of grapes and some figs. The
ooatmen OF Constantinople rejoice in a
iplendid physical development, yet
their diet is chiefly bread, with cher

ruit. In short. the experience ofman-
Kind shows that simple food, including
much fruit, conduces to strength and
