In water. These foods go directly to
maintain animal heat, and to give energy
to the animal frame. Although starch
as found in bread and potatoes is most
important food, the heat-creating power
of all starches and sugars is inferior to
that of the fats and oils. The car
bohydrates aid in the digestion of the
nitrogenous foods, but the exact manner
in which they do SO is not yet salts
factorily explained. Perhaps it should
be mentioned that starches and sugars
are converted into fat within the sys-
tenn, SO that persons who suffer from
obesity should consume them in mod
GRAFTON. That oils and fats are heat
producers is shown by the experience of
mankind concerning the large consump-
tion Of those articles of diet by northern
nations. Further, fats being chem
ically burned in the blood, give rise to
the force which we exert in ordinary
muscular work. Nor is this all. The
fatty products of our diet assist in the
duty Of removing waste products from
the body. AS to the heat-creating pow
ers Of oils and fats, as compared with
starches and sugars, the former may be
regarded as very much superior, the
figures being about ~ to 1.
Mineral Foods.
The mineral proportions of our food
play an important part in the mainten-
ance of the frame. We require iron
for the blood, phosphorus for the nerves
and brain, and lime for the bones. A
variety OF other minerals are found in
the blood and other fluids of the body,
but their use has not yet been accurately
determined. 1t is certain however, that,
although the quantity Of some minerals
(potash for example), required for the
work Of the body is extremely small, de-
rangement of health follows complete
deprivation of them. Common salt
Chloride of sodium) forms an important
part of many Of the secretions, and it
aids the formation and chemical integ-
rity of the gastric juice Of the stomach.
But many persons eat far too much Of
it, with the result that the kidneys are
overworked in it's excretion, and serious
disease makes it's appearance.
Importance of Water.
Water, Of course, is a most important
food, for it can, in the absence of all
other nourishment, sustain life for a
period numbering many days. While a
man will probably die in less than eight
days if deprived of water, and Of solid
food, he may live for fifty days upon
water alone. The great Importance of
water may be demonstrated by the fol-
lowing facts: 1t constitutes about two
thirds of the weight of the body; it
enters into the weight of the brain to

meal-taking, the most important is
founded upon the obvious fact that in
the food we must find the substances
necessary for the repair Of our bodies,
and for the production Of the energy
through which work is performed.
Food substances, from this point of
view, fall into two well-marked classes
heterogeneous and -nitrogenous.
Another classification divides them into
organic and inorganic, the former being
derived from animals and plants, while
the latter is derived from the world Of
non-living matter. Animal and plant
substances, then, represent organic
foods; while water and minerals, both
of which are absolutely essential to the
support of the body, represent inorganic
food materials. From living matter
alone do we derive the materials essen
tial to the generation Of force. Never
theless, the inorganic water and miner
ais are necessary in carrying out the
chemical changes which are continually
taking place within the body.
Taking the usual classification of
foods into the nitrogenous and non
nitrogenous groups, we find examples Of
the first class in such substances as al
bumen, seen almost daily in the ''white"
of egg; casein found in milk; gluten OBJ
tanned from flour, etc. All these SUBJ
stances are very similar in chemical
composition, and it seems as if the
process Of digestion reduces them to an
almost identical state. On this account
they can, to some extent, replace each
other in the daily diet of mankind.
The nitrogenous foods are often called
"fesh- formers" and the name is suit
able one, for, as the result Of expert
ment, it has been ascertained that the
chief duty performed by albumen and
allied heterogeneous substances is that of
building up and repairing the tissues of
the body. 1t is true that they also pro-
, duce heat, as a result of being chemi-
, cally changed in the blood, thus aiding
in the production Of force or energy. In
addition, it is fairly certain that in
some complex manner the nitrogenous
parts of our bodies assist or regulate in
some very exact manner the oxidation OF
, chemical combustion of the tissues

ically of the four elements, nitrogen

learning. While this is obviously a fact,
it is yet the paramount duty of every in
dividual as a matter of self-interest, if
upon no higher ground, to conserve
health; and the knowledge which places
within the grasp of each man and woman
the power of avoiding disease and pro-
longing life, is one which must in time
repay a thousandfold the labor expended
in it's study. If what I have written
appears to contain unnecessary repeti-
tion, my excuse must be that there now
exists in the United States a religious
sect, claiming to number million ad-
herents, which insists that all disease is
apparent, not real; that properly reg
ulated diet is folly; and that knowledge
of physiology and anatomy is injurious
to ones health. While the devotees of
this cult were never so numerous as to-
day, the deaths in New York state dur
ing 1900 were 6,647 more than in 1899,
and 5000 above the average for the past
five years. What part of the increased
death-rate is due to neglect Of ordinary
precautions by Mrs. Eddy's followers, I
cannot say but the figures which I have
quoted prove that well-known laws of
health are being Systematically violated
by thousands of persons
Heal.h-Rules Practical.
What am about to write has been
prepared in order to place within the
grasp of each reader practical and easily
understood details of the principles which
regulate the prevention of disease in
both the person and the house.
Apart from the labor of every day life
in which brain and muscle engage, an
immense amount of work is performed
in the mere act Of keeping alive. No
where in nature is work performed with
out proportionate waste, or wear and
tear of the machine which does the
work. This assertion is as true of the
human body as of the locomotive; and
Just as the machine-whatever it may
be-requires to be supplied with the
conditions necessary for the production
of force, so the living body similarly de-
mands supply of material from which
it's energy-the power of doing work
can be derived. AS the locomotive OBJ
tains the necessary conditions from the
fuel and water which it consumes, so the
living body derives it's energy from the
food upon which it subsists. Food,
therefore, is anything taken from the
outside world, from which the human
body derives the substances required for
the repair of the waste which the con-
tinued work Of life entails. In the
young, food serves another purpose-it
provides material for growth, and it also
affords substance from which the supply
of force is derived In the adult, while
food sunn1ies actual loss of substance. il

Pittsburg, June 3.-At this mornings $
session of the Reformed Presbyterian
synod Of North America, resolutions
We're adopted respectfully urging the
commissioners of uniform state laws to
recommend in their forthcoming report
on divorce laws only such legislation as
is in harmony with the law of Christ;
which sanctions the dissolution of the
marriage ties only for infdelity and
such wilful desertion as admits of no
remedy.
The report of the National Reform as
sociation was read by the Rev. J. M.
Foster and laid on the table to allow
the presbyteries to report. The report
recommended:
First-That we renew our allegiance
to the cause of Christ, the king.
Second-We pledge our lives, posses

IN LINE WITH THE .. S.
Russia's Chinese Policy in Accord
With Uncle Sam

New York, June "a special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Neither Russia nor the United States
will detail troops to garrison the posts
to be established by the powers between
Talku and Pelxin. Russia's determination
to refrain from maintaining troops up
on the territory of a neighboring empire
is another indication of her purpose to
pursue to the end the policy which she
originally adopted.
This policy is absolutely in line with
that of the United States and in fact
from what can be learned, it is the in
tention of Russia to accept with this
government in future questions discuss
ed in Pekin- This attitude has given the
administration much satisfaction The
points between Talxu and Pekin which
will be garrisoned by the powers, Osten-
sibly to maintain a safe egress for the
foreign ministers in the capital have
not been finally determined, though it
seems to be understood that troops win
be stationed at Yangtsung and at one
other point near Tien Tsin. The size Of
the garrisons also remains to be estab-
lished From what is known it is the
purpose of Germany to distribute the
brigade of 4. 200 men now in Pekin
among the legations in Pekin and the
two posts which will be established.
Great Britain and Rance, the latter of
which originally made the proposal for
the garrisons will also have troops in
the garrisons Whether the Japanese
will be represented in the forces to stay
in China IS not known.
