A Thirteenth Century Drink

Thirteenth century tastes in food
had few limitations. Besides the fowl
of Africa and the rare gadwit of Ionia"
mentioned by Fitzstephen, gourmets in
the time of King John used to regale
themselves on herons, cranes, crows,
storks, cormOrants and bitterns. Some
would wash their meals down. with
wine, but the majority drank mead or
metheglin. Mead, according to Holm
shed, was only the washing of the
combs after the honey had been taken
from them, and so poor a beverage
that it had to be spiced, peppered or
made palatable with sweetbriar or
thyme. But metheglin contained one
hundredweight of honey to "a gallons
of water and must have been much
more intoxicating than the strongest
old ale of the present day.

How an Alaska Hunter Got a Bear.

Joe Kanaka, Jap. was in pursuit of
large game few days ago in the vicin-
fty of Knik. Instead of being armed
with thirty-thirty or any firearm he
carried only coil of rope. Seeing a
black bear feeding near a prost ector's
Grail he sprang upon the bears back
and quickly had a moose of the rope
around Bruins neck
The Jap held to one end of the rope
and succeeded in tangling the bear in
Its coils, but the bear tore Kanaka's
clothing to shreds. When the bear
was thoroughly tangled the Jap boat
him into submission and led him into
Knik.-Valdez Prospector

miles day IN the fresh air should
keep one in good condition, with the
additional moving about that is done
in the usual routine. If, 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 one 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 woman in 10000 makes a
daily practice of the exercise. One
need not make elaborate preparations
for it. 1t should be done Immediately
after arising, before putting on cor
sets, and in a room which has been
freshly aired But it 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.

Eliminating bread, meat anu pota
toes from the daily menu seems like
a sweeping revolution. But it is sur
prising to see how much that is good
and nourishing is left. And one of
the pleasant discoveries in life is the
revelation to each individual of how
easy it is to change and modify the
diet. A few weeks of self-denial al
first and the victory is won for all
time. One loses surprisingly soon
a taste for dishes that. were once
thought indispensable.
In even the most casual mention OF
food the subject should not be dropped
without tribute to that most admir-.
able fruit-the apple. Few realize
the value of the apple as food. ZAP.
pies" said great doctor, actually
throw light on the brain" And it is
also claimed, with truth l believe
that habitual apple-eaters never de-
velop tumors or malignant growths OF
any kind
The question Of water is also of the
utmost Importance. Two quarts q
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 the remainder
should be discriminatory taken dur
ing the day-nOt,s of course, at meal
times. AS to whether it should be
hot or cold, opinions differ. Hot wa
ter in the morning is an excellent
thing. The stomach is not quite
ready for cold shock. For the rest
woman who is too plump will dc
well tC drink hot water freely, as it is
very thinning. The slender and an
aemic woman should avoid it. Il
thins the blood, as well as the body.
The whole matter can perhaps be
summed up in the words of woman
who is in great demand as a physica
trainer for eastern society women.

The question of exercise is of the
utmost importance. A walk of two
The Winchester news. [volume] (Winchester, Ky.) 1908-19??, 1909-03-02

With baths, proper clothing, fresh
air and exercise comes the problem
of food-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 one
big truth is rising-tbe general ac
acknowledgement by the best physicians
that we all eat 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 the increased consumption of
meat. In cases of govt, rheumatism
and kindred diseases arising from
the presence of uric acid in the sys-
tenn, meat is stricken from the pa
tents dietary as a recognized factor
in the cause. According to the new
theories, no one 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 of 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 bread. Fresh bread has
always been an abomination 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.
Toasting alone is no longer sufficient
AS this Injuries the complexion, il
will not be popular among women.
Nevertheless, as there is little nour
ishment in white bread and it 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
uRpopularity of bread Like it, theJ
contain little nourishment and make
special demands on the digestive ap
paratus.

Small Force Clerks Will Have
TO Work Overtime Until
First Of July.
ANOTHER CLERK NEEDED
BUSINESS THIS MONTH HAS
BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY HEAVY
At UNCLE SANS CONCERN
SOLICIT BUSINESS.

The necessity Of an additional clerl
at the postohnce has been demonstra.
ed time and time again. However
never more conclusively than at tn
present time when more than thons
and dollars worth Of postage is BIZ
fore the regular force to be cancellc
by July /. Postmaster Spekenhier il
speaking of the condition this morn
ing stated that business had been so
good, in fact SO exceptionally good,
that this fail he would recommend to
the department officials at Washing
ton, that another clerk be put on the
force.
The forces at the Marion and Ko-
komo offices are larger than the cler-
ical force Of the local office, although
the receipts for the past few years
show that the local office is doing a
larger business than either of those
offices. With this as a basis Of Argyll
ment. Postmaster j. A. Spekenhier can
see no reason why the local office
should not be accommodated with an
other clerk.
Average Long Hourc.
The postal department tries to main
tain an eight hour schedule for the
clerks. This schedule is demanded In
the carrier department. However In
the local office. the clerks often have
to work ten or more hours day, and
It Is probable that the average for the
year will be nine hours a day.
Business has been exceptionally good
due to the push Postmaster Spoken
hier and his force have put in the
work. Instead OF allowing business
to come to the office 1t has been So
ltcited. Recently the American Seed
Ing Machine company OF this. city pur-
chased more than 81 600 worth OF sup
plies. Yesterday and today the plants
circulars and catalogues were brought
to the postoffice to be cancelled and
sent out July /. It Is estimated that
there is 81 900 worth OF postage In
this one batch of mail. With this as
an addition to the usual business done
by the office the postal receipts for
June should DO $1,000 in excess Of
those for the corresponding month Of
HOS.
