and a new one fitted on to give the
patient chance to grow, but the
doctor declared that the occurrence
was by no means phenomenal.
Many illnesses do not result in
emaciation. especially down in this
part Of town." he said Scores OF
poorly fed patients that are brought
TO the hospital in a skinny condition
take on flesh amazingly while under
treatment. This is especially notice
able in the case of an accident where
a plaster cast is necessary. Then the
arm, the leg, the body even that is
thus incased increases in size under
hospital fare, until the patient is in
positive pain from the pressure and
has to be relieved with larger cast.

MAKES IDEAL FOOD
VALUE OF CHEESE TOO FIRE.
QUENTLY OVERLOOKED.
AS Staple, as Addition to Cooked
Foods, or in the Form of Dessert
II Is Highly Recon-
nended.

The American has yet to learn the
food value of cheese as it is recog-
nized abroad. While generally eaten
uncooked, it adds to cooked foods in
4 number of ways. Potatoes, toast,
rice, baked tomatoes, eggs, maca-
roni, and even soups are made more
uourishing, and to many people more
Appetizing, by the addition of a graf
ing OF cheese.
In all the high-class Italian restau-
rants in this country. as abroad. a
small dish of grated Parmesan cheese
is brought on with the soup tureen.
each adding to his plate to suit indi-
vidual taste.
When it comes to cheese as a part
of the dessert, in contrast to the pas
tries and other CONNECTIONS more COM
monty found, one ought to cultivate
the taste for it as one may have cult
waited fondness for olives.
Among the hardy Swiss it is a
staple, second only to bread. Among
the Bulgarians, whose longevity as a
people stands first among all nations,
cheese runs a close second to their
loppered milk, the yaourt or Zoolak
so highly Endorsed by scientists.
Among the Italians and Germans its
use is extensive, the peasantry in
many cases eating scarcely any meat,
using cheese in its stead.
Indeed, the use of cheese as an arti-
Gle of diet is as old as history itself
1t was a common article of food
among the Hebrews and is mentioned
three times in the Bible, although in
each case the original word is differ
ent. In First Samuel where Jesse
commands David to carry ten cheeses
unto the captain of their thousand it
implies ten sections of curd or soft
cheese.
In Second Samuel where "Shobi, the
son of Nahash,' is recorded as bring
ing David and his men long list of
necessities running the gamut from
beds and basins" to honey and
butter and cheese" the root means
scraped or grated cheese. In the
third case where Job expostulates
with the Lord concerning his Attic
tons he mournfully asks, Hast thou
not poured me out and curdled me as
cheese?"
Cheese is mentioned by Aristotle
about $50 B. C. The Romans intro
duced the art of cheese making into
England about the time of the Chris
tan era, where it was received with
high favor. In fact, scarcely any old
English play or story comes to us
without some reference to this popu-
lar Wand.

The favour of Postum, when boiled
according TO directions, is always the
same-mild, distinctive, and palatable.

FASTING AS A RELIGIOUS RITE
Ceremonial Observed BY the japanese
Twice Year.

From time out of mind, says the
Japan Times, certain devotees of that
country have visited a celebrated
temple at Martha twice a year TO per-
form the pious act of fasting within
its sacred precincts. y fasting hall"
has been specially erected for their
accommodation and the number enter
ing this hall is on the increase. Those
who have already tasted in the fasting
chamber this year number 226 men
and 80 women OF the whole number
So tasted less than week. ia tasted
one week, ten, continued fasting two
weeks, II tasted three weeks and one
went without food for five weeks.
Inquiry as to the motives of the fast
ers showed that 169 men and 25 wom-
en- desired to rise in the world, Is
men and two women wanted to in
crease their business profits, 16 men
prayed for the safety of their families,
13 men and four women sought cures
of diseases and ten men wanted gen
eral good luck.
Only three persons, two men and
one woman, tasted in gratitude for the
fulfiilment of former prayers. 1T need
scarcely be said,'' remarks the Japan
Times. that the period of their fast
ing was the shortest"

largely for material and supplies, in
the manufacture of which labor is
the largest item.
THE loss to the entire country on
account CT inability of railroads to
purchase supplies is as serious to the
public as the forced reduction in the
payrolls. Last year the total amount
of the railroad purchases was one and
a quarter billion dollars. At the pres
ent time they are only buying at the
rate of one-half billion dollars per an
mum, which at this rate means loss
to the manufacturers and the general
trade of the country Of more than
$750, 100000 a year, or two million
dollars a day. If to this is added the
approximate one million dollars a
working day which the railroad en-
ploye is suffering of this heavy loss,
ii is apparent that the business of the
country is losing at this rate approx
imately three million dollars a day on
account of shrinkage directly connect
ed with railroad operation.
