FOOD AND WEATHER.

The old army ration for the tropics
has been very sharply criticised lor '"e
reason that it consists of articles OF
food that any person even sllghtiy ac-
on,inted with the elements OF 1000
knows is not adapted to the needs OF
the human system in hot weather.
Nature shows forth in the selection OF
food by inhabitants of various couh-
tries: for instance, the EsquimauX IN 4
cold climate selects heavy. carDonace-
Gus foods. talIow, bacon ana such.
while the Hindoo and inha Oh
hot countries turn to the cereals lot
sustenance.
We should follow this hint of nature,
and particularly in hot weather shooiu
avoid much butter. meat or any Oh tha'
class of food. Perhaps little meat
once a day is not amiss. even in not
weather. but the breakfast ana lun-
chcon should be made of fruit, one or
two slices Of entire wheat bread ana
some Grape Nuts and cream. "raPe-
Nuts are mentioned, because they
furnish the ideal cereal food in most
