Most people, said the watchmak-

get up in the morning at our regular
hour, whatever the hour at which we
went TO bed, and so by winding 1t then
we may insure regularity Of wind.

THE DIET OF CONSERVATIVES.
Overlooking Recommended, But Prop
er Digestion Must Be Assured.

Herbert c. Clapp, Of Boston. writing
In the Medical Record, says that diet
Is most important factor In the
treatment of tuberculosis. A con.
sumptive is much more likely to eat
too little than too much. Systematic
overfeeding with proper digestion of
the food are the accepted remedies.
The food must be palatable and well
served and the amount must vary
with the patient and his circum.
stances. The outdoor air will enable
him to assimilate large amounts. Milk
and eggs are the best foods to pro.
duce fats, which are most necessary
to the patient. The author advocates
three solid meals day, with lunches
between of milk and eggs, about three
quarts of milk and six eggs day be-
Ing taken. Fresh meats are especially
necessary for these patients. but
mixed diet is undoubtedly the best
borne. Meat Juice is valuable. Pastry,
candy. fried foods and cabbage should
be let alone. Alcohol Is not advisable.
hit coffee, tea and chocolate may bo
taken moderately.
