WRITE us A LETTER
EXPERT ADVICE ON EATING.
Authorities Tell Us What Foods W.
Should Consume and Avoid.

Cicero told us long az, tt~t re
should eat to live, not live y ca, and
Prof. Gautier of Paris, arr, lifia3 that
wise pronouncement in to Course Oh
a very interesting article on How We
Ought to Eat" The professor is the
sworn enemy of all culinary articles
the object of which is to stimulate
taste, excite the appetite and induce a
man to eat without hunger and drink
without thirst.
These, he says, are prejudicial to
the maintenance of health. When one
has an appetite for plain bread, veg
etables or meat unmodified by any sea-
soning then and then only can one be
said to be really hungry. Another
paternal recommendation which the
professor makes is the old advice of
our grandmothers, that we should al
ways leave the table with slight SEN
sation of hunger not entirely appeased.
1t appears that we lose every day
from IS to 100 grams Of albuminoids,
corresponding to 42O or $50 grams OF
muscular flesh or analogous tissue.
An inhabitant of Paris, for instance,
recuperates on the average to the ex-
tent of 102 or 1913 grams day
AS a guide to what we should eat
the professor tells us that the best
meat is that of animals fattened on
pasture land--heef and mutton. Then
comes poultry and pork fed on prod
ucts of a vegetable origin, whether
grain or herbaceous.
One should always avoid the flesh
Of animals fattened to excess on mus
cular flesh and also, to a certain ex-
tent, that of animals which are too
young. Veal is not good for either
equity or arthritic people. 1t is not
recommended for people with fragile,
irritable, eruptive skin.
Fish, excellent in itself when it Is
quite fresh, is easy to digest, but It Is
not suitable to eczematous persons or
those who have any other skin dis
ease. Black meats or game excite the
kidneys, predispose to gravel, to he
patio COMPOSITIONS and to arterio-scle-
rosis. One may live absolutely with
out meat; one can not do without
vegetable ailments.
Prof. Gautier deprecates all exag-
gerations and sums up as follows: Boil
your drinking water when an epidemic
is raging; boil milk, cook beefsteaks
sufficiently and sleep peacefully. A
emp Of light and savory smelling bouil-
Ion, slice Of roast beef properly
cooked, a small glass Of Bordeaux and
even Of Burgundy never killed anyone.
Eat with regularity and in accord
ance with the demands of hunger such
dishes as have always been regarded
as innocuous and remember that, as a
rule. it is neither meats nor bouillon
nor wine nor spices nor coffee which
poison us, but their abuse.
