A SAFE DIET RULE.
Eat the Smallest Amount of Food
That Will Preserve Health.

That VIII Preserve Health.
How shall one determine how much
food to eat? Too much mystery has
been thrown about this subject. Let
your sensations decide. 1t must be kept
In mind that the entire function of d.
gestiOn and assimilation is carried on
without conscious supervision or con-
currence. 1t should be entirely unfelt
and unknown, excepting by the feeling
Of bien etre which accompanies and
follows its normal accomplishment
Safety is bad. 1t implies a sensation
of fullness in the region of the stopn-
ach, and that means that too much
food has been taken. The exact cor
respondence In a healthy animal be-
tween the appetite and the amount Of
food required is extraordinary AS q
rule, the meal, unless eaten very slow
ly, should cease before the appetite is
entirely satisfied, because little time
is required for the outlying organs and
tissues to feel the effects Of the food
that has been ingested. If too little has
been taken, 1t Is easy enough to make
1t up at the next meal, and the appe-
tite will be only the better and the food
more grateful
No one. was ever sorry for having
voluntarily eaten too little, while mil
lions every day repent having eaten too
much. 1t has been said that the great
lesson homeopathy taught the world
was this-that whereas physicians had
been i'm the habit of trivinU tho notio1t
the largest dose he could stand, they
have been led to see that their purpose
was better subserved by giving him
the smallest dose that would produce
the desired effect. And so 1t is with
food. Instead of eating, as most peo-
pie unfortunately do, as much as they
can, they should eat the smallest
amount that will keep them in good
health.-Roger S. Tracy in Century.

FRENCH POLITENESS.
II Is Widespread, Oppressive and
Time DevOuring.


During one summer which 1 spent
among exclusively French people in q
hotel at Saint Germain 1 estimated that
lost quite twenty-four hours out of
each week saying good morning and
good evening to the men, women, lit.
tie children and dogs about me. If you
encounter the same person twenty-five
times in the same day, you must smile
rapturously, pause, at least shake
hands if you do not kiss, tremendously
inquire how he or she is "going" and
tremendously bid him or her "au re-
voir'' at parting. Not only every man
and woman expects this, but all the
little children toddle up to you, shake
hands and exact the same amount of
ceremony. Then every well regulated
French family has a dog that more
than likely occupies a chair and eats
off plate beside you at the table, 50
that 1t is considered churlish If you do
not also stop and tell the dog "bon
jour" and Eau revoir" a dozen times q
day, pausing to take the paw which he
is prettily taught to extend to you.
When the washerwoman brings home
your linen, there are at least five min
utes spent in tremendously greeting
and parting from her. In the operation
of receiving and paying for linen you
exchange 'mercis" and 'pardons' not
fewer than ten times. Any other serv-
ing person or tradesman who comes to
do business with you throughout the
day you similarly receive with "bon
jour, monsieur" and Eau revoir, mon
sieur," and you thank him and beg his
pardon as often as you can possibly
get the words into the length Of time
he has to stay.-Harper's Bazaar.

No "Spooning,, in Parks,

Last winter Janesyille was electrified
by the ordinance introduced by an ambi-
tious alderman, Y hich if passed, would
have prohibited loving couples from
'spooning" on the school house and
church steps. The ordinance was defeat
ed by the efforts of Alderman Council,
the only bachelor member of the Council.
At the last meeting Of the Council an
other bombshell was sprung by Alderman
Matheson, law partner of Senator White
head, which, if passed, will cause electric
lights to be strung in the vicinity of all
the secluded places in the city parks to
prevent lovers from "spooning. Alder
man Council has again objected strongly
to this measure and by his persuasive
power the ordinance was held up until a
later meeting of the Council. Council
has been flooded with letters Of thanks
from GAINESVILLE young women.
