side of the weaker sex by declaring
that in case the engagement was
broken off she could not be compelled
to.return the tokens Of affection 10 the
donor. all the rulings of Betty Vincent
and Others who give aNvice to the love

Anna E. Montfort, 10 years old. was
charged with stealing two diamond

salesman. Miss Montfort, told the
Judge that Palette had been her

as an engagement present: But
though the jewelry was valued at

Diet Of the Old.

A sane diet for person of 70 or rs
should be made up largely of vege-
tables and fruit, some fish. some eggs,
a little meat and simple cereals, If
there is no inclination toward obesity.
Drinking with ones meals is not
considered advisable, especially as IL
auids are apt to wash down the food
before it is properly masticated. Two
quarts Of water, or more, should be
taken between meals, however, during
the day. Hot water is especially good
for one who does not exercise much,
as it Pushes out the entire system.
Stimulants, such as tea and coffee,
should not be very strong.-Harper's
