WHAT TO EAT AFTER AGE OF 40.
English Authority Lays Down Diet
Rules to LenEthen Life.

English Authority Lays Down Diet
Rules to LenEthen Life.
DR.. Cohen, noted London physician,
has furnished a diet that people may
eat after middle age to keep from
growing old too rapidly. Among the
foods most likely to have the effect Of
keeping the body youthful as stated
by him are the following, which any
one past forty should use in prefer
ence to the heavier and richer articles,
and which all city people will probably
find most suitable from the age of % or
80 onwards:
! Mutton-It Is better than beef for
sedentary people. The leg is the best,
according to DR.. Burney Yeo. Young
and tender fowl and game. Eggs
| lightly cooked or cooked In every
form.
Milk-It is better always to boil 1t.
1t is as good In puddings, cocoa, coffee,
etc, as alone.
| Potted meats and games, If genuine
and unadulterated, are nutritious and
digestible.
Fish, particularly white fish, such as
sole, whiting, cod, founders, smelts,
etc. Fish Is better boiled than fried.
Grilled bacon.
Sound, pure bread. 1t is best when
homemade.
Porrldge Of rice, tapioca, sago, ar
rowroot, macaronl, made with milk
and eggs (not egg powders).
Vegetable purees of all kinds.
Stewed celery, stewed onions, spin
ach, artichokes, and nearly all vegeta-
bles.
Stewed or baked fruits of every kind
and raw, well-ripened apples, pears
grapes, oranges, Strawberries, etc.
Tea, coffee, chocolate, are all good
Tea and coffee, however, should be
light and quickly made.
Hard water Is probably an active
agent in aging the body. 1t Is said tc
produce calculus and may harden the
arteries With hardened arteries one
cannot be young. Use soft water fol
drinking.
These are only some Of the food,
that may be used. 1t Is a mistake t.
restrict the dietary too much. Mod

With attention to food, air, exercis,
and the hygiene of the mind, most peo

Lord,
And sorrows self shall like to joy ap-

But, Thou withdrawn, l am but as a

Nor rest more than harps which to the

Magnet Lifts Six Tons.

Electro-magnets are much used in
connection with cranes and other con-
veyors for lifting heavy pieces of iron
and steel. The Illinois Steel Company
has a magnet weighing 1.2OO pounds
which lifts six tons. In Belgium mag
nets are used to lift tons of hot metal
in foundries and rolling mills. The
power OF the electromagnetic Is regulat-
ed by the switch controlling the cur
rent. The magnet is lowered to the OBJ
Ject needed with the current turned
off. When the switch IL closed the mag
net becomes active, holds the article 10
be lifted while they are raised and
transported to their destination. When
they are lowered the switch Is opened
and the magnet Immediately releases
them. As the operator of the crane
controls the action of the magnet
through the switch, this one man can
attend to all the details of transferring
heavy metal objects. No assistant is
needed to attach them to the conveyor
or to release them when they reach
their destination. Another use to which
the electro-magnet Is put is in break.
ing old castings so that they may be
melted and utilized. To accomplish this
the magnet is made to lift and drop d
steel bell weighing from one to sly
tons.-Technlcal World Magazine.

The Teaching of Chri.t.

All the teaching Of Jesus was closely
related to the lives that his life touch
ed. He never taught by dogmas or
formal statements, but always by per-
sonal appeal and practical precepts that
could be taken up into life. He never
meant hy truth what We generally
The news=record. [volume] (Enterprise, Wallowa County, Oregon) 1907-1910, 1908-01-23

meant by it-a fact, or body Of facts,
simply; He meant life-principles, some
thing to be lived rather than told. With
this conception of truth the teaching
of Jesus was always penetrated. His
teaching was, therefore, not so much
the communication of certain correct
ideas to the intellect; it was rather the
inspiration of the whole life with new
aims and purposes.

Stockers and Feeders.

Country buyers were numerous TINS
week and competition was better than
it has been in a long time. 1t was
possible to make a pretty good clear
ance of each days receipts, and at the
end of the week there is nothing de-
sirable on hand. Traders consider the
general market 10015c higher than Il
week ago, tho it is very low yet. for
during the two previous weeks the
market Went down something like 40
dD60c. This was the bargain week of
the year. and country buyers who have
been holding back for cheaper prices
did not hesitate to send in their or
ders.
Lately dry weather has been re-
ported from various parts of the terri
tory tributary to the Chicago mar
ket, and that will have the effect of
checking the demand Without pas
lures the cattle feeder will be helpless,
and so a good general rain would help
materially to increase the demand for
the light cattle at this point. Very
few good feeders were available this
week, but the market was quite well
supplied with the light and ordinary
stuff, which sold at low rates. The
bulk of the fair to good stockers sold
at $3.5063S5, and most of the COM
mon and light kinds sold at $3@3.4o.
with few inferior. cattle at $500
800 Not many feeders sold above

they supplanted to large extent the

time, but the cut they made last week
and this was sufficient to bring them
