How to Eat Correctly


In an article on the ssGrowth of
f lie c b eris sm," in the March
Worlds Work. Isaac 4. Marcosson
gives Horace Fletcher's following
rules for eating, which are given
to all patients of the Harvard Den
tai School Dispensary:
l. Eat only in response to an
actual appetite, which will be salts.
fed with plain bread and butter.
2. Chew all solid food until it is
liquid and practically swallowe
itself.
8. Sip and taste all liquids that
have taste, such as soup and lem
onade. Water has no taste and
can be swallowed Immediately.
4. Never take food while angry
or worried, and only when calm.
Waiting for the mood in connection
with the appetite 1s speedy cure
for both anger and worry.
5. Remember and practice these
four rules, and your teeth and
health will be fine.

A barrel of salt is. produced
in the United States each year for
every four inhabitants, says the
New York World. New York is
the leading salt producing State,
the yield being one barrel for each
inhabitant. We buy $500, 600 worth
of salt from other nations, and sell
only 100000 worth, largely to
Mexico, Japan and Canada. Salt
costs the producer less than one
tenth OF q cent a pound. Never
mind the grocery price. Uncle
Sans 1904 figures are 1882 cents
for each barrel of 2O8 pounds. Salt
is IN many European countries a
heavily taxed government monopo-
", Italy patrols its beaches to
prevent poor people from evapo-
rating sea wafer for low grade salt.

How to Water Plants

II is much wiser to give plenty
Of water once every few days than
! little each day. The latter
method keeps the surface moist,
and the roots naturally rise for the
moisture, 80 that they are near the
surface and will be injured by the
heat Of the following day.
Give enough water to go deep,
or else Just enough to wash the
leaves. The amateur should by
preference water at night, for then
the moisture has = chance to do Ito
