the great telescope of the Naval Cd

Most Of US have strong prejudice
against leaving the table hungry, or
0miting meal. We desire not to be
satisfied into stupor, but to have a
comfortable sense Of satisfied appetite.
For us it will be wise 10 increase the
keenness Of appetite by getting as
much outdoor air and exercise as can
be compassed, and making our meals
consist as largely as possible Of appe-
tizing fruits and vegetables. There
are a few things Of which it is very
difficult 70 eat too much: Dead ripe
biaekberrieS, pears or peaches picked
from the trees in a state Of absolute
ripeness, sweet apples that are mellow
through, and grapes as SWEET as honey.
A really hygienlc dinner for Thanks
giving or Christmas would include
turkey or chicken without dressing,
vegetables and fruits without pastry
or pudding. The occasional over
eating Of pure foods gives merely a
temporary feeling Of inconvenience,
while surfeit Of rich substances leads
to sick headache, an attack Of rheu-
matism.
In its effects, undertaking Is worse
than oYereating. Bread and water,
crackers and tea, will give health TO
US all. The food Of those who fear
they oyereat should be full Of nourish-
ment, and free from grease and spices,
sugar, vinegar and drugs - Good
Houstkoepinq.
