intendent of the Alma Springs SAM
tarium. Alma. Mich. in the October
number OF How to Live" gives some
interesting as well as sensible rules
for acquiring and keeping health. He
says: without We eat and drink. We
die, The provocative to do both rests
with the appetite. which. in process
OF time, becomes a very uncertain
guide; for the palate will often induce
desire and relish for that which Is
most mischieyous and indiSestible.
The old saying of eat what you like
Is now Stunned by everybody OF 20
years experience. Still. without appe-
tite, IL Is a very difficult affair to sub
sist-ior the pleasure depends chiefly
upon the relish. The relish may be-

one. but II 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 hurtful and not concoctiblc."

the keynote of the doctors argument.
He says: Health In man, as In other
animals. depends upon the proper per
formancc OF all functions. These
functions may be shortly said to be
three: ~ tissue change: t2) re-
moyal OF waste: (3) supply OF new
material. For the activity OF man.
like tho heat of the iire by which
he cooks his food. Is maintained by
combustion: and Just as the ilrc may
be prevented from burning brightly
by improper disposition OF tho fuel.
or imperfect supply OF air. and as II
will certainly go out II fresh fuel Is
not supplied. and may bc chokcd by
It's own ashes. 30 mans activity may
be lcsscncl by imperfect tissue change
and may bc put an end to by an In
sufficient supply OF new material and
imperfect removal OF waste products.
