THE SCIENCE OF LIVING.
Dr.. Gecrge F. Butler Tells How to
Eat and How to AS
simulate.

DR.. George F. Butler, me neal super
lntendent OF the Alma Springs Sani-
tarium, Alma, Mich, in the October
number of How to Live, gives some
interesting as well as sensible rules
for acquiring and keeping health lie
says: without we eat and drink We
die! The provocative 10 do both rests
with the appetite, which, in process
Of time, becomes very uncertain
guide; for the palate will often induce
desire and relish for that which Is
most mischieyous and indigestible.
The old saying Of eat what you HE
is now stunned by everybody Of 20
years experience. Still without appe.
lite, II is a very difficult affair to sub
sist-for the pleasure depends chiefly
upon the relish The relish may be-
come, as has been stated, a vitiated
one but It Is quite possible to make
the stomach, by a little forbearance
and practice, as enamored Of what is
wholesome and nutritious, as Of that
which is hurtlul ana not conc0ctibla.'
Again he says: The delicate
should feed carefully, not abunGantly;
It is not quantity which nourishgs
but only that which assmilates.'
BE careful Of your digestion IS
the keynote Of the doctors argument.
lie says: Health in man, as in other
animals, depends upon the proper per.
Torrance Of all functions. These
functions may be shortly said 10 be
three: % tissue change; (2l re-
moyal of waste; go supply Of new
material For the activity Of man,
like the heat Of tho fire by which
he cooks his food is maintained by
combustion; and Just as the fire may
be prevented from burning brightly
by improper disposition Of the fuel,
or imperfect supply Of air, and "a it
will certainly 90 ont II fresh fuel Is
not supplied and may be choked hy
its own ashes, so mans activity may
be leEs"~"1 by imperfect tissue change
may put an end to by an IN
suhcient supply Of now material and
imperfect removal Of waste products.
I'VE should see TO II that free elm
inatioa Is maintained. for the ashes
must be kept out OF the system IN or
der TO have good health. The skin.
kidneys and bowels must do their
eliminatiye work properly. I; the
bowels occasionally become torpid try
to regulate them with exercise and
proper food, such as fruits. green
vegetables, salads, cereals, corn, whole
wheat or graham bread, fish. poultry
light soups. etc Plenty of water is
also valuable. and a glass full Of cold
or hot water the first thing upon ris.
ing in the morning will aid much in
overcoming constipation. Regular
habit, cold baths, and massage are
very eficacious. In case the cons'i-
patton does not yield to these hygi.
enic measures, some simple, harmless
laxative may be required, such as Cali.
fornla Syrup Of Figs-a nonsirritating
preparation Of SIENNA In fig syrup.
Laxative mineral waters are bene.
fetal in some cases, but not to be en-.
ployed continually.
Above all be an optimist, keen the
heart young. Cultivate Kindness,
cheerfulness and love, and do not for
get that we shall pass through this
world but once Any good thing.
therefore, that we do, or airy kind.
ness that we show TO any human no.
ing LEI us do II now Let us not de'"r
II or neglect II. for We shall not pass
this way again"
