From the Public Health Journal.
Eat slowly, mastieating the food
very thoroughly, even more SO, If posi-

more time the food spends in the
mouth the less It will spend In the
stomach. Avoid drinking at meals; at

at the close of the meal, II the food is

dyspeptic stomachs manage dry food
better than that containing much fluid
Eat neither very hot nor cold food
The best temperature is about that of

wants of the system require. Some
times less than Is really needed must

Strength depends not on what is eaten,
but on what is digested. Never take
violent exercise of any sort, either
mental or physical. either just before
or just after "a meal. 1t is not good

Never eat more than three times a.

are better than more. Never eat when
very tired, whether exhausted from

oatmeal, wheat meal cracked wheat
and other whole-grain preparations,
though many will find 1t necessary to
avoid vegetables, especially when
fruits are taken.

The WOOdchuck.

From Country Life in America.
Perhaps no wild mammal is more
familiar to country people than the
woodchuck. Every hillside and mad
ow is dotted with the small piles of
earth which mark the doorway to his
home. The woodchuck prefers a hill
side or a knoll in which to dig his
hole, for here he can easily make the
end of his den higher than the Begin
ming, thus avoiding the danger Of be-
ing drowned out.
What could be more unlike in gem
eral appearance than a woodch1ck
and squirrel? Yet they are cous-
ms, both belonging to the same fam
lily Of mammals. The trim body, sharp
claws and agility OF the squirrels make
II possible for them to lead an arbor-
cal life. jumping recklessly from
branch to branch, while the fabby
form and short legs of the woodchuck
better adapt him for digging than for
running or climbing.
