EXPERT ADVICE ON EATING.
Authorities Tell Us What Foods We
Should Consume and Avoid.


Cicero told us long ago that we
should eat to live, not live to eat, and
Prof. Gautier, of Paris, amplities that
wise pronouncement in the course of
a very interesting article on How We
Ought to Eat" The professor is the
sworn enemy Of all culinary artifices
the object of which is to stimulate
taste. excite the appetite and induce q
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 So 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 103 grams a 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-beef and mutton. Then
comes poultry and pork fed on prod
ucts of vegetable origin, whether
grain or herbaceous.
One should always avoid the flesh
OF animals fattened to excess on mus.
cular flesh and also. to n 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 1t is
quite fresh, is easy to digest, but 1t Is

kidneys. predispose to gravel. to he.
patio congestions and to arterio-scle.

out meat; one can not do without
vegetable ailments.
Prof. Gautier deprecatos all exag.
gerations and sums up as follows: Boil

is raging: boil milk. cook beefsteaks

Pluck.


How often you hear one business
man say Of another who has been sue
cessful: "Ain't he lucky?" Luck has
nothing to do with anyone's success.
1t is pluck.
Pluck and enthusiasm are the pow
ers which make the winner. With
these two qualities, which are in
variably found together, man will
succeed.
Business men who have achieved
greatness In their line are those who
possess an abundance Of enthus-
iasm.
A possession that is better than any
thing else to man is that determina-
tion Of character known as pluck, and
an enthusiastic confidence that he will
succeed.
To persevere against great odds.
and TO make victorious fight in the
face of almost imposAbiities, Il re-
quires pluck which is not governed by
impulse.
To cultivate pluck one must encour-
