Food .Sugges ions.

No ingredient that is not first-class
should ever enter into any article Of
food.
All kinds OF flour and meal should
be eaten as soon az possible after being
ground, as 1t Is then constantly part
ing with its life elements.
All organic material used as food
tends to decay afrer reaching its high
est stale of perfection, and should be
eaten when most highly endowed with
the life principle.
A monotonous diet is not adap ed
to the proper development of the race
or the individual.
All food tends to deteriorale rapidly
after cooking, and, if allowed to re-
main long uncovered, absorbs atmos-
pheric germs which are disease pro.
duclng.
Nuts, and some kinds of fruits,
though they will keep a long time,
should never be eaten after the flavor
becomes impaired.
Milk, water and all fluids, cooked or
uncooked, rapidly absorb injurious
gases and microscopic germs from
the atmosphere if allowed to remain
unsealed, especially in warm weather.
The majority of people eat more for
mere enjoyment, and to crafty the
sense of taste, than for the purpose of
sustaining the body. and consequently
take more food than is needful. !

Fashion Nttes.

Red is the coming color. There is a
pink shade of red, artistically soft and
pretty. All the tones of purple are
seen in spring goods, and navy blue,
gray. pale green and pale blue in COM
bination with white predominates in
dimities, organdies and the fashionable
foulards.
Black gowns will be much in favor
this season. The old fashioned larege
will be made in colored silks, and gives
touch of gayety to an otherwise
sombre toilette.
Cream net mounted over yellow satin
makes a charming costume for a
brunette. 1t has a short bolero of
orange velvet, slashed and edgel with
lace, over the net blouse. The COM
bination of yellow and orange is clever,
softened ss it is by the cream net.
White cotton soutache and wide
braid will appear on jacket suits, of
blne and brown denim, light and dark
blue linen, blue, tan, black and white,
dark-red and en-brown canvas
The armure-like cheviots in striped
effects and checks make excellent shirt
waists and show distinct touch of
white on light or navy blue, tan, gray,
red and pink grounds.
The all-wool or silk and wool canvas
will be much in vogue for early sum-
mer street gowns. They are woven in
checks and in various small patterns
with two colors, such as blue aud
white aud green and ecru-the latter
a very stylish combination.
Broken checks seem to predominant
IN the new spring goods, while chevi-
OTIS, Scotch tweeds and smooth-faced
cloths come in haIr-llne stripes and
mixtures of all sorts !

Cowardice is the cause Of more
mems failure than inability. They
lack the heart to face adverse circum-
stances.
The man who has finally succeeded
in cheating himself in all things, is
perhaps as happy as fools ever get to
be in this world.
Trust in hard work. Inscribe on
your banner, "Luck is fool, pluck is
a hero"
CIemency, which We make a virtue
OF, proceeds sometimes from vanity.
sometimes from Incidence, often from
fear, and almost always from mixture
of all three.
You cannot purchase success on
credit; you must pay the price of hard,
persistent and conscientious toll.
There are plenty of people whose
virtues are like certain trees; they
blossom regularly enough, but bear no
fruit.
Self righteousness never has any
mercy on itself or nybody else.
We have done too little, when we
have not done our prayerful best.
The pleasure for which we dare not
thank God can not be innocent.
, Every man in his degree has some
things to do for his generation, and
perhaps for future generations, which
none beside him can do.
