the amount of money they would have TO

FOOD, WATER AND AIR.
The Essential Things Out of Which
Blood Is Made.

Blood Is Made.
These are the things out of which
blood is made. If the food is nutri
tious and properly cooked, if the air is
pure and full of oxygen, if the water
is clean and free from impurities, the
blood will be rich and red and full Of
vitality.
Barring physical accidents, there is
no sickness except that depending di-
rectly upon a want of food or water
or air, sometimes all three When any
one is sick the presumption is that he
has been trying to subsist on poor
food or vitiated air or bad water, one
or more.
In order to have good food a person
ought to have the first eating of it.
Food that has been mussed over and
left by one person is not fit to be eaten
by another.
In order to have good air a person
ought to have the first breathing of it.
Air that has been breathed by other
persons is not fit to breathe again.
Water should be fresh from some
spring or well. If hydrant water must
be used let it run bit, as the house
pipes are apt to be of lead and not
iron like the pipes that convey the wa
ter through the city.
Food that is relished, air that cools
and invigorates, water that is quaffed
with eager thirst-these are the things
that make blood. Put fresh air into
the lungs, good food and pure water
into the stomach, and nature will do
the rest.-Medical Talk.

The Hookah In India.

The hookah is smoked as a refresh
ment and sign of fellowship by the
natives of India and not merely as
luxury. When a group of natives are
seated together and, as is the custom,
the hookah is passed around to each in
turn it is considered very bad manners
for any one to decline to have few
puffs. If the hookah is thus refused
in a friends house or while one is the
guest of another it is regarded as an
insult. If for any reason native Is
put out of caste the fact is strictly
marked by his former caste fellows
refusal to smoke with him, and any
one who eats, drinks or smokes with
an outcast is himself outcasted.-
