STICK TO SIMPLE FOOD.
The American Business Mans Pace
Demands Easily Digested Dishes.

"There was in the old days far less
wear and tear upon the nerves, and,
under such conditions, digestion was
more completely performed" writes
Mrs. S. T. Rorer of "Why l Am OPP
posed to Pies" in The Ladies' Home
Journal. 1.-The mothers Of today must
look more carefully to the building Of
their bodies and brains than their
mothers and grandmothers did. In
deed at the pace at which we Ameri-
cans are going we use u brains at
full speed nearly all the time. What
man can build brain and Drawn on
pies. layer cakes or preserves or any
other mass of material which from its
very compleXity requires labor and
time for digestion, drawing the blood
from the brain to the stomach during
his working hours? Observe those who
eat their complex foods carelessly and
hastily and you will see at a glance
the conditions that necessitate a COM
plcte rest every now and then, or an
early nervous breakdown.
"In my close observation in the last
20 years l find very few people in Il
commo. struggle for existence who can
for any length Of time eat carelessly OF
complex foods. At 40 or 80 a nan may
perhaps have accumulated wealth, but
not health. and Of what earthly use IS
the first without the second? Many
persons in the generation gone before
have eaten pies at least once a day.
but they have not had meat three times
a day. nor have they rushed at our
pace. They gave more time to the d.
gestion Of the pie. People who recon-
mend these rich foods rarely know any
thing Of their complex conditions and
still less Of the complexity Of diges-
tion."

The %chiropodist looked at the major

The major locked the door.

lighted the stub end of a cigar.
"You come out of that and pay this

ed the creditor as he gave two or three
kicks.
The major calmly puffed away and
gnZed out of the window. and the look
on his face would have reminded a be-
holder of buckwheat cakes and mo-
laSseS.
Then I'll lay for you cut here and

The major did not hear. He was per-

whether the Canadian general agency
should be placed in Toronto or Quebec.
