Dieting ConsurAptives
Must Eat Six Meals a Day at
Ole Massachusetts, State Sanitarium

Six meals, day constitute the regi-
men at the State Sanitarium for Con-
>sumptiVes at Rutland, Mass. The first
meal is, of course, breakfast, and this,
says a writer in the New England
Magazine, is ready at a quarter to 8
o'clock At all meals special diet is
served when directed by physicians,
but the usual breakfast menu is a
cereal, chops, steak or eggs, mullins
and cold bread and butter, tea, coffee
and milk. After breakfast the patients
are ready for outdoor exercise. This
as we'll as every other detail of the
patients life, is under careful surveil-
lance. Some are allowed to walk a
number of miles, some only short
distance; others must lounge in the
open air in hammocks or reclining
chairs Zero weather Or snow does not
interfere with this order of things,
heavy furs providing the necessary
warmth and fresh air the stimulant
that all soon learn to depend upon.
At half past 10 luncheon is ready in
each dining room; and it matters not
if the patient has most interesting
book, or a camp is being built, or the
top of hill commanding an unlimited
view is almost reached-alI must turn

James K. Hosmer in the Atlantic: If
George III. and his ministers were en-
barrassed by opposition at home, says
James X. Hosmer in the July Atlantic,
the American patriots were no less en-
barrassed. An energetic minority, it
has been said, brought to pass the rev.
olution, which proceeding, especially
from New England, was carried
through in spite Of majority in the
colonies-a majority in great part quite
apathetic, but to some extent actively
resisting. The emigration Of forces,
when the day at last won, was rel
atively as great as that Of the Hugue-
nots from France after the revocation
or the Edict of Nantes. The total num-
Der is estimated to have been at least
one hundred thousand. In this multi
tude were comprised only such with
their families, as had been active for
the king. The Indifferent, who had
lent no helping hand to the patriots,
must have been multitude much
larger; these remained behind, inertly
submitting to the new order Of things
as they had sWayed inertly this way
or that, foil lowing the power and airec~
ton Of the blast Of war.
