Rules of Health.

Don't battle too much; once a
month is enough in the summer. If
too busy wait month or two long
er. Take a sponge bath at that
time if too busy for a regular bath.
You may not think it necessary,
but your friends may.
Never sleep with closed windows.
To make sure you have plenty of
fresh air open all the doors and
windows. 1t may become necessary
to weight the bed clothes with fat
irons to prevent being blown out
of the window, and a stray bolt or
two of lightning might enter your
dwelling, but-fresh air above
everything.
Eat all varieties of vegetables,
provided you do not consume more
than one pound of each kind at a
meal. But do not taste such vege-
tables as cabbage, potatoes, to-
natoes, peas, cucumbers, beans,
beetS and corn.
Eat onions morning, noon and
night. The best time for eating
onions is in the evening say ten
or twenty minutes before going
to some social function. Should it
be dance to which you are going,
take an onion along to nibble at
while waiting for partners they
may be scarce at your end of the
hall.
Do not dig the butter too fire.

may have wiped their feet in the
yellow stuff. Yes, butteris danger

the editor; he will use it because he
does not expect to live long.)
Father Kneipps idea of walking
barefooted is good. While walking
on the lawn you might as well push
the lawn mower. When tired sit in
the hammock and let your toes see
the grass.
Learn to breathe correctly. Stand
on your toes, close your face and
inhale a few yards of oxygen, then
exhale slowly through your mouth.
If you keep this up for a year or
two you will become so chicken
breasted that your diamond stud
will play peek-a-boo with your gold
filings. Always breathe through
your nostrils. Should your Ger
man friends be eating limburger
cheese to windward of you, breathe
through your teeth.
Use toothpick; decaying animal
matter is the dentists strong pull.
If you can't find a toothpick use a
fork, or ask the hostess for
string. You might pass the string
around after you get through for
others to use.
Avoid pastry of all kinds. We
can't emphasize this too strongly.
Of course, if the stomach Graves it
pie or two will do no harm, while
such innocent food as cream puffs,
pudding and dumplings are always
safe.
Iced beverages are very danger
Gus, though ice tea, pop on ice, ice
cream soda and fruit sundaes can
be INDUCED in with impunity.
Eggs are healthy in any shape
except fried or scrambled; and do
not eat them boiled or raw. Some
eggs are called tom" When
Tom goes into partnership with
Jerry it is claimed they make a
remedy much used against micro

people are afraid of microbes and

may be sailing down the all
mentary canal drink cold beer;
some one glass, some a dozen or
more; quite a few don't count the
glasses depends on the number
of microbes they are harboring. In
order to kill any microbes in the
beer, many take generous doses
of an antimicrobe procrastinator
called rye Tor SNORT.
Eat no candy. Of course bon
bons when put up nicely are all
right; the more gold string and
lace paper they have the better
they are. Such delicacies as cara
mels, chocolate drops, taffy, stick
candy, dipped almonds and marsh
lnallow drops are not bad if
you limit yourself to two
pounds at a sitting.
Fruit of all kinds is healthy.
Yet it may surprise our readers to
know that all fruit has, like the
mushrooms, it's edible and poisonous
varieties. 1t is therefore advisable,
in every case, to bring the editor a
sample of any fruit you contem-
plate eating. 1t sometimes requires
more than one sample to make a
healthy decision. We are especially
