DIR. PARKER's VIEWS.

DIR. W. w. Parker gives the following
very wholesome advice;
adults, as a rule, should eat three
times a day. Some invalids and children
four times. CNot forty) 1t Is not well
to eat, Immediately on rising from bed.
This many do from necessity. This meal
had better be light. We have no time
10 argue this point, or any other, in this
brief letter. ! give you my observations
for what they are worth. Never put one
meal into the stomach till the preceding
has been digested.
"The table in the organ should be
cleaned off and scraps removed. and
allow to cool down before a second
meal is introduced. This I called atten-
ton to in the Dispatch a decade ago.
Since then hundreds OF men and women
have gone TO premature graves on this
account The stomach is a wonderful
organ. but can't stand everything.
Don't eat when very tired. This Is
an important rule. If II must be done
the food should be liquid. Milk is gene
rally the best article glassful is a
plenty. II necessity compels, little
stimulant before hand will help. This,
my temperance friends will veto. But
never mind that; l must tell the truth.
.sThe man in this case is out OF health
and needs a little help-not more than
two tablespoonfuls in half glass of
water. No sugar. The stomach SYM
pathizes greatly with the general fatigue.
Great many people here eat hearty
dinner at 4 and a respectable supper or
tea at 7:S0. II the stomach had
tongue IL would protest, and II has pro-
tested in a hundred ways. but was not
needed.
81 attribute much OF my good health to
the habit for nearly 80 years of taking my
tea alone-say, from TO ii. IT Is only
tea and bread Shamei shamel upon the
man. who. after giving the stomach the
herculean task OF digesting big din
ner of a dozen articles half chewed and
lust as the blood Is about to leave the
organ and go 10 perform other duties IL
Is rudely called back to work on three
slices OF cold bread. three glasses OF Ice
tea. and sometimes tough steak. This
overwork is bad enough for few days.
but 10 continue Il for years Is deliberate
suicide.
This practice is much worse in sum
mer than winter About twice as much
food is needed In winter than In sum-
mer. A law should be passed protecting
hogs from themselves.
ADVICE FROM DIR. KuYK
Here Is what DIR. ID. A. Kuyk has to
say ON the subject:
.sro maintain health during the heated
season. avoid sudden chilling OF the body,
cold baths and iced drinks. 1t Is much
better TO encourage free perspization than
70 check H.

utes before drinking. as the sensation VIII

AS to the threats of violence on
the part Of the Pharrites they did
not materialize. Had they been so
injudIcious, measures had been
taken to suppress any disorder in
short order. Their movements
were watched from all parts Of the

The late election has emph ASKED
one fact more forcibly than any 9TH
er, and that is that the debased ig-
norant purchaseable vote (be it
white or black must be eliminated
from future political contests by leg
al methods, or a large portion Of the
intelligent, patriotic white vote will
voluntarily disfraDchise itself. This
would possibly suit the political
tricksters, but it will eventually
bring ruin upon the State. A very
important provision Of any election
law that may be passed must insure
to the elector absolute secrecy in
the casting of his ballot and protec-
ton from the influences of exacting
and arbitrary employers.-New Ibe.

The lbervilIe South publishes a
brief communication signed white
Man." to the effect that David s.
Ferris, secretary of the National
Republican State committee, a few
days since went up on the Texas
and Pacific Railroad in company
with the negro, "Hon. Senator
Henry Demas," the former joining
the latter in his lunch and wine
basket. The South thus makes com.
ment.
Why. there is nothing surprising
in this. Has any white mar ever
joined hands with the negro without
going down eventually to his lowest
depths of degradation?
Let our correspondent take the
history OF any Of these Republican
movements in the South, Where
has each and every mi of them
led? These men who haye gone
over to the negro party are not one
whit better than hundreds of white
gentlemen who have fallen before.
And that they will and must fall, as
all Of their predecessor have done,
there can be no reasonable doubt.
But those white men who remain
true to their race will continue to
exercise the God-given privilege of
the Caucasian and will rule as long
as blood flows through their veins,
America IS the home of the free and
the brave, and above all a white
mans land, ever to so remain" :
