We have much to learn from the little
republic, says the London Court Jour
nal. From the age Of ten all boys go
through a compulsory physical and
gymnastic course until they are IS,
and after this age for four years they
have to take up rifle shooting in ad-
dition to gymnastic training. Every
Swiss from his goth year to his 44th
year is liable to military training.
Very useful work is accomplished In
Switzeahand by rifle clubs, which are
encouraged by the state for the pur-
pose of improving craftsmanship. The
population is under three and a half
million, yet there are $500 such as.
sociations, with over 200, 600 members.
On this basis we should have over

Food sense is still hampered with
fads. but 1t is becoming a science and
a custom. No qualified authority is
ready to say that a meat diet can with
the best results be abandoned. What
the qualified men do say is that far
less heterogeneous food than Is usually
consumed in America suffices for nu-
triton and is better for general
health, showing its benefit In longev.
fly. Science will not say that slow
and thorough mastication will stop
disease or perfect digestion, but It is
peremptory in advising a mastication
as thorough as the proper appetite for
food permits. Too much holding Of
food in the mouth may cause dislike
or indifference, and the proper di.
gestive action depends upon enjoy.
ment. Human beings can live a long
time In bad atmospheric conditions,
but we know positively that oxygena.

that fresh air Is a remedial agent of
more potency than ten years ago we

Try this with California prunes, and
