The great majority of women have been
taught the lesson that sound health and
good looks have the relation of cause and
effect to each other. No woman can be
called good looking who has a bad COM
pleXion, and no woman who is in perfect
health will have one. AS complexion, good
or bad, is largely the result of CORE
spending quality of digestion, it is of the
greatest Importance to regulate the diet,
eating and drinking only those things which
are easily transformed into the necessary
substances of the body.
Different seasons demand different Diet
ing, if health and comfort are being sought.
Not only the instincts of human beings in
this matter, but the provision that nature
makes, different foods, being more acccssi-
BILE by production and price at different
seasons of the year. point to the advisa-
bility of changing the bill of fare as sum
mer comes around. In winter, when the
bodily heat needs keeping up, game is album
dant and easily tracked. In summer, when
the main object is to keep down the tenn
perature, vegetables are cheap and pro-
fuse, and the strength can be KEEP up by
making these a large part of the meal. The
fresh vegetables, lettuce, tomatoes, beets,
ETC., reduce the bodily temperature, and yet
contain nourishment, and fresh and cooked
fruits are always wholesome.
Eggs are. as every one knows, very
nouriShlng and form a desirable summer
food. Milk is food in itself, and contains
all the qualities needed to support life;
some physicians resort to its exclusive use

foods are cereals fresh vegetables, ripe

A Specialists Claim.
Some diet specialists claim that no meats

could well be replaced 10y one of fresh fish
A bill of fare for which is generally claimed
first place in summer is as follows:
Breakfast--Oatmeal and mix
Luncheon-Bread, eggs, fruit.
Dinner-Soup, vegetables, q little meat
Chicken or lamb, or broilcd or boiled fish.
On this selection one is able to work best
and keep in best condition during the sum-
mer The general suggestion to 'eat less
in summer is followed with advantage by
every one, especially those past middle lifc
and those with a tendency to corpulency
These people are in much better health
when they abstain from hot soups. fat and
meat and take but little animal food of any
kind. Looked at from the point of view
of hygiene, the present huge price of meat
is really of beneficial effect, as it restricts
the great use of it. and other forms of
food are substituted with good result in the
summer. To view the beef trust as a
philanthropy would not be impossible if re-
suits and not motives are undec considera-
ton.
The total quantity of food0consumed can
with beneficial results be reduced one
sixth or even one-fourth during the heated
term. This condition usually regulates it
