it is n subject of remark that the great
majority of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy medi-
clnes.
Naturally, under the conditions, the
question of food is very prominent.
A young man states thnt he had suf-
bowel trouble, had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheuma-
tism and his stomach trouble got
worse. One da" at breakfast the wait

he did, and found the food agreed with

And we roared toast to the Tory host as
we tossed his liquor down:
"Long life to General Washington! He's a

Then we DOTTED the hat as down we sat,

By his own wide hearth twas a matter for

We had ridden fast, we had ridden far,
and under the stars had slept;
Out of the. night for the foray fight we
into the dawn had crept;
Long and late we had laughed at fate, and
had hungered oft, and now
Twas a goodly thing to feast like King,
and his vassal, my great Lord Howe!
We had kissed our mothers and kissed our
wives and kissed our sweethearts

in the work we had to do;
We were "Rebels" all, proud name, God
wot! because we would not bow
Our heads to a thing like tyrant King,
and his vassal, my great Lord Howe!
"To saddle, lads!" was the word we heard
leap blithe from the Captains tongue,
So we raised rouse for the Tory house as
out of the door we flung:

But death to a thing like a tyrant King,

ATTITUDES, February brings sudden changes
OF temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 90 degrees in

Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole OF North
America:
Ventilation
The sleeping rooms should be well ven

Bathing.
Those in vigorous health should take
a cold water towel bath every morning

should take a brisk dry-towel-rub every
morning.
Diet.
The diet should be generous one, in
Guiding meat, and occasionally fresh vege-

Sunshine.
The nights being long aud the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during the
day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
