DANGERS OF DIETING

tualIy. provided he keeps on suppress
ing his natural and therefore unScien-
tic instincts.
But just here lies a danger 1t is
true that one can accustOm himself to
a much smaller quantity of food than
that to which he has been habituated
and that eventually he will desire that
smaller quantity and no more, but
when he attains to this condition his
digestive power will have been re-
duced by One-half. As result he will
lose from ten to thirty pounds in
weight; that is TO say, his muscles and
organs will decrease by so much in
bulk and strength. Now. if the heart
decreases. considerably in strength
there Will always be danger Of itsscols'
lnpse, particularly if it be subjected TO
any extra strain. as when one runs for
Il car or rapidly up Il flight of steps.
Excitement alone may be fatal to a
weak heart
Rigorous dieting to reduce weight is
always dangerous. A better plan is TO
work off the superf1uous flesh by eX-
ercise
Lack of sleep has depressing effect
circulation diminishes, when the blood
can devote itself TO the rest of the
body.
Eating before going to bed, particu-
larry if one is up late, is q good prac-
tice. ii being most favorable TO thor
ough body repair that the blood at
night be rich i'll nOurishment.
Accustoming the digestive organs TO
Il small amount of food results In a de-
cline of appetite. whereas our object
should be TO increase appetite and
thereby strengthen our digestive pow
ers by judicious exercise IN the open
air or in we'll ventilated room.
If the doctrine that small appetite
Is preferable to n large appetite be
true-and this is what economy IN
nutrition" teaches-then open air eX-
ercise, which manifestly increases ap-
petite, must be injurious to health. Or
why should we exercise TO Increase ap-
petite If we may eat only so much?
The notion is wholly absurd. The
first sign of illness in man or an ami
NAL is loss of appetite. And usually
appetite is a measure of health.
To build up the heart and muscular
exercise the muscles.
1t is not enough that one should stuff
himself; 1t is all important that he
should desire every morsel he eats,
and this he will do only If he under
goes general physical and meRtaI ex-
ercise. Food that is ingested, and even
digested, will be absorbed only by
those organs that need it-that have
been exercised. This fact explains
why many persons that are good feed
ers" are yet inadequately nourished.
If they are brain workers and take no
physical exercise their brains absorb
what nourishment they need; the rest
is eXcreted.
Magnificent as are the results of
brain work we must bear in mind that
there could be no result without the
cooperation of the body. and that the
body I'm its turn depends primarily on
the integrity of its heart. lungs and
stomach.-G. Elliot Flint in New York

Professor A:e.:anGcc Eaig. an Eng
lish dietary expert, has written from
London to the medical fraternity of
New York warming Americans against
the popular belief that the average
man eats too much. He SAYS that the
Increasing uumLer OF Deaths from heart
failure is largely due to underfeeding.
The notion that science is more
Uinerring guide than is nature is con-
Stantly gaining ground. In the good
old days men drank when they were
thirsty and ate of whatever they wished
Until their hunger WAS satisfied. Now
science condemns such fooiShness as
primitive. 1t prcscribes one glass of
water one hour before meals and one
glass one hour after meals-no more
no less. If You L,jppen not TO he thirsty
at those times. no matter. drink that
amount anyway. If perchance you are
thirsty and would like two glasses you
must not yield: il is only nature that
prompts you. and nature is an unsafe
guide. Or, you may be 'abnofmally"
thirsty at meals: nevertheless do not
drink then.

Undertaken For Pet Birds.

An old branch of business conducted
by a New York esta adjustment devoted
to supplying and boarding feathered
pets is that of bird funerals. Children
who have lost their canarieS or other
songsters through disease or accident
bring the little cadavers there to be
laid out in becoming style.
Tiny collins just large enough for
bird are kept in stock; also quantities
of pale pink and blue cotton. The lat
ter is used for filling the bird coffin.
and on it the bird is laid. The effect
when BRIDES remains are .'decently"
composed upon the pink and blue is
excellent, sufficiently so to console the
little mourning master or mistress.
The children then convey their coffin
away for interment. Funeral expenses
are light-New York Press.

New York Tribune: One result of
the ravages Of the boil weeyil in Texas
has been the practical abolition Of the
credit system between farmers and To-
cal merchants. Before the coming of
the pest the cotton grower was in the
habit Of securing advances on his crop
from these merchants Discounting the
future in happy-go-lucky fashion, the
small farmer frequently found himself
at the time of the annual settling up
the happy possessor of a jug of whisky
for himself and a calico dress for his
wife as the net surplus for his years
work. With the possibility of a ruined
crop the merchant is now chary of Civ
ing credit, and the farmer pays cash,
effecting a saving of about % per cent
on his supplies besides forming more
proyident habits. Thus the dreaded in
sect has proved in some cases bless
ing in disguise.

Perfumes.

Perfumes have been used from the
earliest times. The burning of per-
fumed incense was one of the rites of
the Hebrew and pagan religions, and
perfumes of various sorts were used
by nearly all the nations of antiquity.
Both the Romans and the Greeks were
skilled in making perfumery. 1t was
from the Arabs, who possessed the art
Of preparing perfumed waters, that the
use of perfumes was introduced into
medieval Europe.
