A story Is told somewhere Of an ex-
Ieellently brought up child. He was
guarded with the utmost care from
everything that could possibly harm
him. His toys were carefully steril-
lied and 50 was his mouth several
times a day. The nursery was built
with rounded corners. where no germ
laden dust could lie. and with solid
fioor and composition walls that could
be washed with an antiseptie solution
daily.
Especially was his food looked after
with the greatest care. Nothing passed
his lips that was not down In the diet
books as most innoxious-no pork. no
pie. no beans even. but only the bland.
est. the most nutritious. and the most
digestible OF foods.
He grew apace and seemed 20 thrive.

To the perfectly healthy stomach a
