HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
Rules to BE Observed In the Matter
of Diet and Exercise.

Rules to BE Observed In the Matter
Of Diet and Exercise.
Positively avoid habitual diet com.
posed too exclusively Of one kind Of
food, such as meats or cereals. Such
q diet leads inevitably to- disease.
Many cases of sickness; palpitations,
scurvy, skin diseases and headachs
are directly due to this improper diet.
Bear in mind that sugar and all
sugared or sirupy substances, unless
sparingly used, are the most injurious
Of the foods IN ordinary use. They
render digestion imperfect and by
their seductive taste are liable to In
duce overeating.
Eat sparingly Of fruit preserves,
veal, pork, young lamb, kid, ham, ba:
con, sugar, vinegar, spices, fats, oils,
fried foods, pastries, cakes, rich des-
serts, strong gravies, hot freshly baked
bread and foods which form adherent
pastes.
Avoid cold drinks at 'mealtime, ex-
cept in hot days. Avoid uncomforta-
bly, hot drinks. Avoid eating at irreg-
ular hours. Never overrule your appe-
tite, which is the best index Of the
amount OF food you need, except In
the course Of diseases that require a
special diet ,..... s..,.,...a =
Satisfy your appetite, not your giut-
tony; satisfy your thirst not your
craving. @E
Salt your food sufficiently, because
salt is an aid to digestion, but not
more than needed to suit the taste: /:
Eat less rapidly and chew your food
more. The stomach wants only well
chawed food. The teeth were made
for that special purpose. If they are
Door or missing, seek the dentists aid.
Avoid violent exercise and severe
mental exertion just after meal, but q
moderate exercise, as walking, VIII
aid digestion. - E......-
Wash your hands with soap and Wa
ter before each meal, even If they do
not appear unclean. -.
| Brush your teeth inside and outside
at least once day, and rinse your
mouth after each meal
When your stomach Is out Of order,
give It q rest by fasting half a day or
by taking only little fluid food:
Remember that the wholesoufest
meats are beef, mutton and poultry
and that beef and mutton are most
easily digested and wholesome when
broiled, roasted or stewed, not fried.
Remember that pure water Is the
most natural and wholesome beverage.
A glass Of pure water every morning
before breakfast will 60 far toward
preventing sickness and extending life
toward the century mark. .;..,:.

|. Have you ever. thought what a
change it would make If you believed
with all your heart and soul and
strength and mind that God is. This
one belief would alter every thing.
Some may even think that 1t would
change too much; If we realize God as
He really Is, we could think ofnothing
else. This I do not admit. The
thought Of God should be, to the best
of our thinking, like the sky to other
objects of the landscape = always
there, blue, serene, unifyfng. In His
presence, constantly and steadily real
lied, everything would find its right
place; it would be easy to do right and
difficult to do wrong. In fact the
problem of life would DO solved

Rightful work is often halted by .ear
Of what others will say about it. This
may be even more barrier to work
than the fear of not doing the work at
all. 1t takes courage to do what we
believe we ought to do, when we think
weshall be criticised, or misunderstood,
or scorned. But the real calamity lies
In not doing what We ought. OF this

we shall have courage to face whatever

Vitality inheres In truth, not In error.
Though accepted error has always the strength
Of habit and authority,
Though the battle against 1t must always b
hard at first,
Ths tendency Of discussion b to make the
truth steadily clearer.
That error holds its ground despite long dr.
cussion
Should prompt its opponents to inQudfe
whether their arguments have gone
the roots Of popular belief,
Whether this belief does not derive its supporS
from truths they have not considered,
From errors not yet exposed which still pan
for truths,
Rather than to attribute its vitality TO popular
tnsapsoity to recognize truth.
