The Starvation Cure,

Starvation as a means of cure is by
no means new idea. It is very old.
Most good things are old, and things
altogether new are seldom good. Very
few original discoveries are made now
adays.
Long fasting is one of the most eff.
fectiye means Of securing thorough go.
ing constitutional reconstruction. 1t
c0mbels the body to feed upon itself.
In the rebuilding, defects may be left
out, and healthy conditions may be
re-established.
But this result may be secured by
other and generally safer means. 1t
is not so much the withholding Of
food, but of certain elements of food.
which secures the benefits of fasting.
1t is the proteids, from which the Sys.
TEN in diseased condition manufac.
lures the pOisons. which give rise TO

ceases of necessity. and thus the dis
turbed functions return to their nor
NAL state and the health is restored.
BY diet of fruit this condition may
be secured as readily as, perhaps more
readily than, by any other means. The
fruit diet is really proteid starvation,
as fruits contain practically no pro.
teids.
Certainly a fruit diet is far more
agreeable than total abstinence from
food. Fruits contain predigested food
elements which do not clog the Sys.
TEN, and which are valuable in sus-
tanning the strength.
Fasting is a good thing in certain
cases; but long fasts are rarely need
ed and fruit diet is preferable in all
essential particulars. except in certain
cases in which fruit acids are irritat
ing, as in gastric ulcer

Men Are in the Majority.

Taking it "by and large the male
sex is in the majority in our country
by some 1,63S,321 according to a re-
cent census bulletin. In some of the
states, however, the women exceed
the men in number, notably in the Dis
trict of Columbia, Massachusetts and
Rhode Island.
Usually men are in excess in sparse
ly settled communities, and women in
thickly populated regions; cities, for
example, as rule, have more females
than males. In the later years of life,
the women exceed the men, which
seems to indicate that they are longer
lived. In the period from sixteen to
twenty-five years of age, also the re-
ports show them to be in excess.
Not being able to give physical
reason for this, Prof. W. f. Wilcox of
Cornell university, who discusses
these statistics on behalf of the cen
sus bureau, suggests that it is due to
the unwillingness of many women who
have passed this period to confess the
fact to the census-taker.

Do Not Wave the Handkerchief.

At a meeting of the WOmens Chris
lian Temperance Union in Cincinnati,
one OF the speakers was welcomed
with the usual Chautauquan flutter Of
handkerchiefs throughout the auditor
ium, and the compliment was accepted
with proper satisfaction. Soon after
wards, says Good Housekeeping, an
inconveniently practical and learned
delegate created quite sensation by
declaring that this handkerchief salute
was most unhygienic performance,
which was quite competent to account
for the colds and coughs that it was
apparent had a wide distribution
among the delegates. 1t was moved
that the delegates. like sensible peo-
pie, keep their handkerchiefs in their
pockts, where they belonged except
when in necessary use, and that the
saluting be done with little silk flags
provided for the purpose
The proposition met with lively OPP
position, and it was argued against
with no little acerbity. but in the end
common sense and faith in the mi
crobe theory triumphed, and the mo-
ton was carried by vote of one hun.
dred and thirty.four to ninety-0ne.
That this reform has already taken
hold" is attested by the fact that when
a party of woman suffrage delegates
departed for Europe they were waved
away by fluttering cloud of little
flags. In commenting on this the
Medical Record says, 1T is a grave
sanitary question whether the hand
kerchief does not do more harm than
good, as it is ordinarily used. Most
nasal catarrhs are of an infectious
character, notably those of grip ORR
gin. Worse than the nasal discharges
are the expectations that find their
way into the pocket The good women
In the convention certainly deserve
great credit for calling atenta.n to the
dangers of the handkerchief

A Window Tent.

A medical journal describes a win.
dow tent devised for the open air
treatment of tuberculosis. 1t consists
of a frame to fit the lower half of the
window, to which is attached inside
the window an awning of waterproof
duck, stretched in quarter-circle. The
bed is placed parallel with the win
dow, so that the invalid's head and
shoulders are within the awning, en-
trance being made through a flap in
the side of the tent The lower edges
of the duck at the head and side Of
the bed are long enough to tuck under
the mattress, and thus air from the
room is thoroughly excluded. The
frame of the tent does not quite fill
the lower half of the window; for the
escape of warm air from the room
there is left space Of three inches.
which can be reduced at will. For
protection from storms the roof of the
tent projects slightly beyond the win
