DIET AND NUTRITION.
Some Valuable Facts About the vari-
Gus Foods We Eat.

Milk is the only one food that COM
bines in itself all that is necessary
for human nourishment. All others
have an excess or a lack of somethin z
that the system needs: hence mixed
foods are desirable. Scientists have
calculated that the following is a
reasonable mixture: Lean meat fifty
parts, milk seventy. bread sixty. pota-
toes thirty. butter six. and water three
quarts daily. The amount of water
seems large. but as a matter OF fact
tie average person takes three pints
Of water with what he regards as sol
id food. For instance. beefsteak Is
two-thirds water. dried beef one-half
water, bread two-thirds 20 aore.
There, are fifteen chemical elements

Thursday, 9th.

The presentation of 'Parsifal' in
Americas on next Thursday, 10th, is
already a subject of absorbing interest,
and probably the largest audience of
the season here will welcome Wagner's
masterpiece, Owing to the unusual
length of the performance, the curtain
will rise on the first act promptly at
7:45 p. NJ. There are four acts, each
one of which requires about forty min
utes for it's enactment. The intermis-
sions are comparatively short and the
final curtain falls at eleven o'clock. 1t
is one of the rules of the performance,
and the management gives the assur
rance that the rule will be strictly en-
forced, that everyone must be seated
before the theatre is darkened, which
means before the music begins. Late
Corners will not be shown to their seats
until the conclusion of the act.

Bright, breezy, trimming and bub-

and the Critical annex delighted a large
audience at the opera house last night.
For two hours the stage was a fun fac
tory working overtime, and everybody
got a dividend of the product. Comical
clever comedians, carload
of pretty girls whose talents ran more TO
singing than to dressmakIng; gorgeous
stage etfects-all combined to render the
piece one of kaleidoscope beauty and
delightful withal. If the play possessed
a plot the fact was not at all noticeable,
but nobody cared for that. 1t was
gem of It's kind, the audience liked the
kind, and Hoity Toity was voted up
to the minute as gorgeous success.

EpHRAIM TO HIS IDOLS JOINED
Tom Black is Going to selI Shoes
Again.

Several months ago that veteran
knight of the grip and infestor of the
day coach, genial Tom Black, those
who love him best call him Tom
bought a pretty farm near Americas,
and announced TO the world that until
the trumpet sounded he would dwell
with nature there and grow old grace
fully. No more would he pack samples,
chew railway sandwiches, or do other
drummerical deeds. And he really
thought he would not. But it didn't
work. The butterflies butted, the
whangdoodle whanged and country
scented it to be; but as the children
of Israel cried aloud for the tieshpOts
likewise did Thomas allow his thoughts
to revert to the old glad life on the
rail; the clatter of the ears was an aeO-
liam harp, while the corn pOne and the
tiuted chitterling of the country hotel
were as locust and wild honey, milk
and mamma to the man who sold the
shoe. He was tempted; he yielded and
fell. The farm, the frogs and the owls
are now waited to the realms of obli-
won. Instead, he scents the aroma of
the smoking car and catches the dulcet
