THE HYGIENE OF FASTING.
Founders of Religions Have Prescrib-
ed Abstinence for Their Disciples.

Founders of Religions Have Prescribe
ed Abstinence for Their Disciples.
Translation in the Literary Digest.
Almost air the great founders Of religions
have deemed 1t salutary to prescribe GER
tain amount OF fasting for their disciples.
The reason for this, says a writer In the
Blaetter fuer Observation-Disclosures is not
only the knowledge that it is we'll for man
to conquer his bodily DESIRES but also the
experience that most persons eat too much.
To overload the stomach with food is not
less unhealthy than to deluge Ii with bev-
erages; the more nutritious the food the
more hazardous are the consequences when
excess is habitual. OF all the sins of nu-
triton, the immoderate use of meat Is GER
tainly the most grieyous. 1t gives to the
body in a form that Is favorable for easy
assimila ton the albumen that is absolutely
necessary to Hfe and hence the earliest
effect of its excessive use must be to sur
charge the body with nutrients
The chief point here is the critical exami
nation of what Is called hunger. Many
persons believe that any and every sensa-
ton of hunger must be satisfied Immediate
~, but this Is great mistake. An equally
great, If not worse. mistake is the opinion
that one must eat until sense of safety
arises. These two mistakes combined lead
to an unfavorable development of the hu-
man body, for the weight of the body
grows TO a degree tAdt Is determined TO the
activity of most of the chief and finer
gans. For every stature an approximate
weight may be stated that may be accept
ed as normal. and in accordance with this
weight are adjL.ted the vital organs. par
tcularly the heart. When a heart has
volume sufficient only for a body of $50
pounds and is put to work to satisfy the
demands of a body of 300 pounds 1t soon
shows that 1t is unequal to it's task. 1t Is
just If an engine that was built to pull
only prescribed weight were used to pull
a large additional weight. The activity of
the other organs as well as of the heart Is
hindered by the fat that is deposited about
the latter. Excessive nutrition injuries the
mental capabilities also OF the particular
consequences of excessive nutrition, such

refers the reader to the region of the abdo-

From the Electrical World and Engineer.
Since the Matching OF an egg results from
the application of heat, it makes little diff
ference whether this heat is applied by
the hen or by artificial means. 1t is claim
ed for the artificial method that the chicks
can be produced SO as to be ready at the
time when prices are best. Hence artificial
incubation has come into extensive USE
and as the most extensive application of
these machines is in agricultural districts,
where the kerosene lamp is the standard of
illumination, 1t Is not surprising that this
same lamp has come to be the standard
source OF heat.
About two years ago the writer witnessed
the destruction by FIRE OF the poultry
houses connected with q large New York
state institution. the origin Of the fire be-
ing directly traceable to an incubator lamp,
and 1t occurred to him. that here was an
other legitimate field for electricity In the
heating OF incubators and breeders. Since
that time experiments have been carried
out. and with gratifying results.

Brought 10 Augusta.

Deputy Sheriff Bean went to Port
land. Tuesday, and returned with
James Clifford Of TOgus, who has just
completed sentence Of 20 days. for
assault on William O'Gorlnan, an in
mate Of the Home.
The assault took place on the morn
ing Of Friday. July ~. OGorman went
to GiffOrd's house and according to his
own story in court purchased two
drinks Of Mrs Clifford. He did not see
Clifford during his stay there, which
was short. When he started to return
TO the Home he took q, path across the
government grounds frequently used
by the veterans in going and coming
between the Home and GifYord's place.
He had gone but a short distance when
someone struck him upon the head a
blow which knocked him down, the
blow being given with a club.
OGOrman said something in remon-
STRANGE when Clifford said that he
would not only kill him but that ne
would serve all the soldiers the same
way. He was then beaten on the head
until the club broke in two places. and
the infuriated man seized a stone the
size of ones two fists and raised ii
above his head as if he would hurl it
at his victim. For some reason he
changed his mind and threw the rock
I"ay. OGorman's pockets were re-
l'e\ed of watch and pocketbook but
