The Weekend Holiday
Responsible for Indigestion.

An expert has put forth the theory
that the half holiday on Saturday and
the holiday on Sunday in the summer
are the cause of half the severe attacks
of Indigestion.
People have time to eat too much and
they take advantage of it. They eat
more sparingly when they are facing or
finishing long hours of work. When they
have this interim Of leisure between Sat
urday and Monday mornings they put in
many hours pleasing the appetite.
He says also that half the cases to
which he is called in the winter are on
Sunday nights or the nights following a
holiday. There il something in the
minds of the many that associates holt
days and feast days together.
If men and women would take a great
deal Of exercise to Offset this plentiful
eating on Saturday and Sunday there
would not be so much acute Indigestion.
But. as a rule, they sit around the
house and do not aid the stomach in any
way to take care Of the unusual amount
of food dumped into it.
Not only is the weekend holiday re-
sponsible. but both women aud men
seem to think they can eat unusual food
when they are not at work.
III a doctor or another person wise
in such things. tries 10 restrain others
from eating all kinds Of unusual food. he
is held in check by the remark: 1t isn't
a holiday if | can't eat what ! want.
And ii isn't a holiday the next day. fer
that person either goes to bed aud has
the doctor, or makes life miserable for
every person near by.
When wisdom and statistics 20 to-
gether il is surely silly TO be defiant.
Every man and woman has a chance
TO face the situation and decide now.
The summer weekend holidays are be-
ginning Warm weather, haif-ripe fruit
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1908-08-07

and vegetables are inclined to do then
worst
The questions are: viii you put your
self out If commission half the season
| because of eareiessness in eating on two
days Of the week, or will you let your
head govern your palate and NOT run
such a risk !!
There are few rules that may help
you in doing justice 10 your stomach:
Don't change your food too abruptly.
If You are used TO a heavy dinner and
light lunch. go easy on heavy lunch
and a light supper. Your system has TO
be coaXed into taking care of so much
food AT an unusual hour.
Don't eat a quantity of fruit candy,
fancy cakes, and vegetables all in one
day and 1t odd hours. Be very sure
that both fruit and vegetables are en-
tirely ripe. before indulging.
Don't drink quantities of tea and coffee
when you are not used to them just be-
cause they are served and you are oil on
holiday. They are Overstimulating and
throw the whole system into confusion.
If you go TO the country don't think
You can drink quarts of buttermilk be-
cause you have heard it is heaithful
thing to do. 1t is poison TO some sys-
tens, and affects them in such a way
that food isn't digested for days.
If you are used to a light breakfast be-
fore going out to do the days work,
whether social or commercial, don't try
to eat a heavy breakfast made up OF
things YOU never touch. You start tue
day badly.
The other way around is also true. Ii
you are one of those healthy, vital per
sons who like and eat substantial
breakfast, don't take coffee and rolls
alone.
If you are at the seashore exercise quad
ripple care over what you eat, IT you III
tend to go swimming afterward. or have
gone before. When those who live
against the sea warn you about food in
connection with your daily swim, listen
TO what they have to say.
All this isn't nonsense. Neither is 1t
a preachment against all pleasure of the
palate 1t is an essay on moderation.
Just be careful, Watch out for the
first symptoms of summer indigestion
and remember this: That you are the
aggressor, the criminal, and the victim.
You have the matter in your own hands.
No one else can help you in the begin
ming.
If the stomach once gets out of order
and rebels against holiday indiscretion ii
remains peeyish and unruly for more
time than you can patiently stand.

To Freshen Bread.

Bread dries out quickly in the summer,
yet a whole or half loaf of bread or
biscuits can be made as good as new
by wrapping them in a wet cloth, plac-
ing them in the oven for the steam to
penetrate the bread. Biscuits can be
hastily dipped in water. placed in a pan
and rebaked. but bread should be rolled
in a cloth and steamed. Light bread
should be used for bread puddiEgs or
soaked in buttermilk to form the batter
for breadcrumb breakfast cakes.
