miles a da, 4 the fresh air should
keep one In god condition, with the
additional moving about that Is lone
In the usual routine. IL, for any rea-
son, this walk is not practicable, the
windows should be thrown wide open
and one should practice faithfully for
at least ten minutes night and morn
ing the ordinary calisthenic exer-
cises with which every n is more
or less familiar. Special attention
should be given to breathing exer.
cises-drawing in ten or 20 long,
deep breaths and ~exhaling them again
slowly.
Every one realizes the value of this
as an aid to health. We all know that
to flush the lungs with pure air is as
necessary as to battle the body. Yet
not one m in 10000 makes a
daily practice Of the exercise. One
need not make elaborate preparations
for 1t. 1t should be done Immediately
after arising, before putting on cor
sets, and In a room which ha been
freshly aired. But 1t can also be done
at any time during the day and in any
place where the air is pure and the
seeker after health is free from curl
Gus and interested observation.
With baths, proper clothing, fresh
air and exercise comes the problem
OF foed-a most vital one and bearing
more than any other on the general
health of the individual. Here again
eminent authorities fiercely disagree.
But out Of the smoke OF battle n
big truth is rising-the general &C
acknowledgement by the best physicians
that we all cat too much meat. In
recent years one of England's great
est specialists has expressed the
theory that the alarming increase OF
cancer In that country Is due in large
part to tho increased consumption OF
meat. In cases of govt, rheumatism
and kindred diseases Arising from
the presence OF uric acid IN the sys-
TEN, meat IS stricken from the pa
TENTS dietary as a recognized factor
In the cause. According to the new
theories, nc CHE should eat meat
more than once a day. Red" meat
roast beef, steak, chops, etcetera,
should not be INDUCED in more than
twice a week. All kinds OF fish and
game may be eaten, especially the
white meat If chicken and turkey.
The dark meat IS rich and not es-
pecially wholesome.
Another good old friend that must
go, according to the notwithstanding
verdict. IS b. 'resh bread has
always been an abomipation in the
Doctors sight, Now even stale white
bread Is relegated to the background.
A number Of the best physicians advo-
cate eating bread which has been
baked In the oven and then toasted.
Toastiry alone is no longer sufficient.
AS this Injuries the complexion, it
will not be popular among women.
Nevertheless. as there is little nour-
islment in white bread and 1t Is sim.
ply a tax on the digestive organs,
thoughtful men and women are elimi-
mating it from the daily menu and
substituting crackers or the various
health breads. Potatoes share the
unpopularity Of bread. Like 1t, they
contain little nourishmen: and make
special demands on the digestive APP
paratus.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1908-01-03

Eliminating bread, meat and pota-
toes from the daily menu seems like
a sweeping revolution. But 1t Is sur.
prising to see how much that is good
and nouriShing is left. And one OF
the pleasant discoveries in life is the
easy it is to change and modify the
diet. A few weeks OF self-denial at
first and the victory Is won for all
time. 0ne loses surprisingly soon
a taste Tor dishes that were once
thoaght indispensable.
In even The most casual mention OF
food the subject shoald not be dropped
without q tribute to that most admir-
able fruit-the apple. Few realize
the value of the apple az food. ZAP.
pies" said a great doctor, actually
throw tight on the brain" And 1t Is
also claimed, with truth l believe,
that hahitual apple-eaters never de-
velop tumors or malignant growths of
any kind.
The question of water Is also of the
utmost importance. Two quarts a
day should be drunk by every adult,
according to the best authorities. One
pint should be taken on rising, after
the bath, one pint just before going
to bed at night and ihe remainder
Should be discriminatingly taken dur.
Ing tie day-not, OF cours3, at meal
times. As to whether 1t should be
hot o. cold. oriaions differ. Hot wa.

a womaa who is too plump will do
well to dirk hot water freely, as 1t is
very thinning. The slender and an.
aemic oma should avoid 1t. II
thins the blood. as well as the body.
The whole nattar can perhaps be
summed up In the words of a woman
who Is In great demand as a physical
trainer for eastern society women
