ut will be breakfast time soon and
| our engineer will go to his morning
meal. Let us hope he will be as wise
in putting fuel into his stomach as he
! has been in using fuel in his furnace.
''He not only used the right kind OF
fuel but he was careful not to use too
much. He did not choke his fire. Let
us hope he viii! be temperate in his
meal, sufficiently so to suffer no dis
comfort from eating.'
"Again notice that he uses only the
pnrest of water in making steam
straight water, nothing else
What is true in making steam for
the propelling of machinery is also
true for the running of the physical
machinery in the human system
Nothing so good as pure water in
making steam for machinery and Moth
ing is so good for the physical system.
An impure water in a short time de.
stroys the generative power for MAX
ing steam. Impure drink does the same
in the BODY
''Impure water will clog the pipes
and the apertures and cause explos-
ions. Impure water and alcoholic
fluids will clog the circula ton, cause
arrangements in the body which re-
suits in DEATH
Again we notice that the engineer
does not allow his fireman to feed his
engine too often The wise man does
not gorge himself and spoil digestion
with too frequent times of eating"
again we notice that the enginee:
has complete stock of tools and alp
planes for taking care of his engine

causes him to at once repair the weak

Our healthy, strong man is equal;
wise. Has he an ache or pain. He
keeps all the necessary appliances in
his medicine chest for immediate Use.
AS the engineer uses the hammer or
wrench at once when his locomotive
gets in the slightest degree out Of
order, so does our man, in excellent
health, apply the salves, the ointment
and the curative medicine with the
slightest approach of what may other
wise be fatal disease
''Does that locomotive require sleep
like the human being, Doctor
"Undoubtedly. 1t must have it's pa,-
iods of rest for the purpose of recuper-
alton. 1t then cools off and UNDER
goes a period of relaNation.''

"Can there be any rule given as to
how much should be eaten during the
day?"
mo. AS you see, that locomotive
will take fuel in proportion to the
steam required. If she is to draw y
heavy load today on an up grade, a
good deal OF steam will be required
and more fuel must be applied. But
care must always be observed NOT l.,
feed so much as to prevent rapid conf
bustion."
''The same applies with the work
ing man. In proportion as his work is
heavy he will need more food but care
must be observed not to feed too much
and it should be food that readily
digests."
"These things seem simple and easily
understood, Doctor. Why don't people
observe them more generally and thus
avoid sickness?'

understand these rules. And in thu
