Everything! Woman is in her ele-
n,ent in this sort of work. Her fine
sensibilities and her strong emotional
power especially fit her for it. She is
decidedly the equal of any man in this
field. Indeed, it is my opinion that in
time women will drift more. and more
toward the work and men will leave it
and take up the serious and heavier
side of literature. Fiction and poetry
are woman's best field: history and
politics belong to man.
But the short story is not dying out.

A. and Diet.
If you wish TO construct proper diet,

If you wish TO construct proper diet,
consider. first how old you are. ~.
II you are In the twenties YOU may
safely permit yourself few indiscre-
lions. If you are ten years older. you
would better be decidedly careful. II
you are verging toward the period
known az elderly" eat sparlngly and
consider well the items on your menu.
An essay on diet in Relation to Age
ana Activity has just been published
by Sir Henry Thompson, the British
authority on. foods and feeding. From
this the hospital condenses the follow
ing advice to elderly persons regarding
their. diet
What is called indigestion" as a rule
does not depend upon any fault of the
dieestis. apparatus, but solely upon
/ its being called upon to accomplish
work which is beyond its powers; so
that the remedy is not to be found in
the gastric juices OF the pig, or in the
ingestion of the various chemically pre-
pared messes advertised as being di-
sestible or as being demands made
upon the stomach to it's capacity for
fulfilling them. He (Sir Henry would
leave the pepsin and the Inesses to be
applied, if at all, by skilled physicians
in cases Of illness which may possibly
require them, and lays down, as of
practically universal application. the
principle that the elderly person Meth
or requires nor can. digest as much
food as the young person, and that this
principle should govern the arrange
nents Of his life.
The total amount of his food should
be steadily diminished as age advances.
and this total amount should be diyid-
Cd among larger number of meals
than were sufficient for his wants In
former days. In other words, not only
should the entire daily demand upon
the digestion be diminished, but the
demand made at any one time should
be diminished also.
1t is commonly asserted. and is By
many believed, thai the average dura-
ton of human life has been increased
by dentistry. but Sir Henry inclines TO
the opinion that the loss or failure Of
teeth is one of natures kindly warn
ings that the use Of them. and by i'm
plication the use of foods which re-
cure their active exercise, should be
diminished in corresponding proportion.
The principle which he applies to
food he applies also to all the forms
Of alcohol: and his contemptuous re-
lection of the idea that wine is the
milk of old age" reminds us of Sir
James Paget's frequent saying that
this or that was as false as q
proverb." Sir Henry's little book should
win for him the gratitude OF all who
ere approaching those slopes down
which he has descended so gracefully:
and 1t has the rare merit that. in the
words Of great moralist. the preacher
is the example of his own sermon.
