Mysteries of the Dining Car.

The kitchen of dining car is a
most exaggerated example of the
economy of space. Every inch h
used. Water tanks are suspended from
the ceiling. One wall is lined with
the big range and heating ovens, re.
ceptacles for pans, pots and Other
utensils, and a row of cupboards up
under the ceiling. At one end. be.
tween the kitchen and the dining car
proper, is little pantry, which serves
as sort of vestibule. That is where
the walters place their orders and
receive dishes.
Every separate article of food and
equipment has its place. Every cor.
ner and nook in the car has particu-
lar function. The silver is in one
place, the milk and cheese in another,
the meat in another, and so on
through the list. Everything perish.

cooked, unbeefed, unstarched, un-
sweetened or otherwise made gener-
ally disagreeable to a normal palate
and civilized palate and civilized
stomach. Every one should UNDER
stand that such restrictions and modi-
fications of diet, with others too
numerous to mention here, are often
absolutely necessary-in fact, they
a. often the best weapons with which
to fight disease--when prescribed by
a competent physician, familiar with
the case in question. Unfortunately
applied hey have done untold harm,
and many serious break in health
has been traceable to an i'll advised
experiment in nutrition.
For the average healthy individual.
especially during youth and middle
age, a mixed diet, and generous one
at that, has proved most satisfactory.
We must never lose sight of the
fact that we are converters of energy.
We should try to so manage our lives
that the best possible balance is pre-
served between the consumption OF
food and the output of energy, with
no undue wear and tear on the mech
anism of the body. If We succeed in
maintaining this balance We shall
have the best chance OF retaining
health and efficiency for the greatest
number of years.
or late we have grown accustomed
TO the oft repeated suggestion that we
all eat too much, far exceeding the
demands of the body. This is an ex-
cellent example of the kind of advice
that causes untold trouble. The few
who really need it and might profit
thereby rarely find themselves in a
mood for the perusal OF such distaste-
full reading and those who take 1t
seriously are usually already below
par physically aad need advice of
very different sort.
Ny observation and experience
l.ad me to the belief that the major
i.y az women, esDeelally the self-sup-
porting. eat too little and eat poorly
balanced meals. Occasionally there
may be too much bulk and at the
same time too little nourishment,-

nInltitudes and Mnnliness.

Thou shalt not follow multitude
to do evil.-Exodus, 1922.
This ordinance in the book of Ex-
odus is an evidence of that wisdom
which marks Moses as the greatest
statesman of ancient days. The warn
ing of this old command is simply,
Don't follow the crowd
The peril of the city Is the ex-
cess of the instinct for association.
Civilization, progress, is the growth
and development of the associate life
of man, but the peril of city life Is
that this instinct is overdone.
People hate to be alone. What
proportion of the ten thousand wit
nesses of a football match would
stand for an hour or more in the
wind and rain If each man were iso-
lated from the rest of the crowd and
saw only the players?
In spite of dirt and disease, con-
gestion and high rents the cities are
growing at an enormous rate, while
the towns and villages are diminish
ing. This instinct to be in a crowd is
one of the most serious developments
in modern civilization. New York
is not civilization; 1t is a great rail-
way station" The inevitable result
of association in crowd is to do as
the crowd does. The temper of
Broadway, which is damning thou
sands of careless lives, is the subtle
cry which calls, DO as the crowd
does"
All about us are people who lower
their standard to suit the crowd. 1t
is astonishing how far we are influ-
enced by the practice and opinion of
our fellows. Fear of unpopularity, a
desire to be one with the rest, has led
many prodigal into the far coun-
try. The history of the SHINING
world in nutshell is simply doing
as others do, going the way the crowd
goes. Obviously. those who follow
others come to have no autonomy of
their own. They lose the power of
Independent judgment, the strength
and disposition for personal initia-
tive and finally the sense of personal
obligation.
That is the kind of atmosphere
in which many of us are living to-
day-eager, restless to be in the cur
rent of things, where is the ceaseless
fret and foam of the sea, the mans
identity is lost and his personality
merged in the great composite.
Moses, speaking to ancient Israel. ut
tered warning and command which
was never more potent than to-day:
Thou shalt not follow a multitude
to do evil"
Resistance is power Life has been
defined as the sum total of the forces
that resist death. Resistance is life.
In the centripetal force which keeps
the planet from flying off into space
there operates the law of resistance,
whose might Is the secret of creation.
In the moral and spiritual world the
secret of life is the might of ones
, resistance.
I When ones sense of personal re-
sponsibility and obligation is lost
his resistance is gone, and when his
resisting power is gone the man Is
gone. Follow not the crowd. but the
challenge of thine own soul. Be
whole man to the whole life and veri-
tably thy feet shall be established.

Temperance Notes.

The alcoholic has lowered vitality
greater metabolic arrangements and
feebler power of repair. Comparison
Of the mortality of diseases both med-
ical and surgical bring out this fact
very clearly.
Every man in the United States
should be an advocate OF temperance.
The man In the United States who
let's whisky and all ardent spirits
alone Is fortunate man. He is the
man that succeeds, he Is the man to
be trusted, he is the man that Is
wanted.
Blows on the head and conclusions
are followed by greater variety and
more serious symptoms out of all
proportion to the injuries received In
the alcoholic.
The churches have never been so
deeply moved on the drink question
az now. They have learned beyond
any possible dispute that the drink
has been the Shareholder OF the
masses OF the people.
The Governor OF Oklahoma recent
ly said: 1T will cost to enforce pro-
hibition Ave per cent. OF what 1t will
cost TO punish crimes, keep orphans,
paupers and criminals that the whisky
trafic creates"
