FRUIT AND OLD AGE.

Psychologists claim that growth
from infancy to old age is process
OF gradual Justification. and that the
stiffness Of age Is caused by the de-
posits of calcareous matter or earthly
salts. Therefore, diet containing a
large proportion Of these salts. food
rich in nitrogen, such as the cereals,
beans, peas and meat. increases the
natural tendency Of Justification. says
Health. For this reason diet made
up largely of fruit, which contains a
minimum amount o this calcareous
matter, is scientifically best adapted
to persons In advancing years.
Large eaters add to the liability OF
ossific deposits from overworking the
eliminating organs by an excess Of nu-
tritive material until their healthful
activity is destroyed, and the whole
system suffers in consequence. Old
age indicates less food and q maxi.
mum amount Of fruit as the diet.

CLEANLINESS.

Cleanliness and neatness ought to
be watchwords Of the kitchen. The
cooks hands, nails and apron should
be immaculate. Cotton dresses that
will bear frequent washings and
smooth aprons minus gathers and
trimmings Mother Hubbard
wrappers. kimono sacques or discard
ed old clothes fit for the rag bag
should be worn for kitchen work.
Strange as it may seem. 1t is possible
for housewife to be clean without
being neat. Her stove may shine, her
cooking utensils be bright, her hearth
and floor scrubbed to snowy white
ness-yet her kitchen table, dresser
and closet shelves "cluttered" with
things not put away from the last, or
time before last, cooking. Her hair
may be frowsy, her dress. though
clean, without collar, or belt A word
to the wise is sufficient.

sARDlNE AS HEALTH FOOD.

It is encouraging in these days
when every thing nice is condemned
by scientific faddists as nasty, to have
the high authority Of the Lancet In
support of the popular theory that the
sardine is Of great dietetic value.
The sardine is good. the Lancet tells
US, because, for one thing, 1t encour-
ages the consumption OF oil, which
tends to avoid many Ills, and espe-
cially those associated with wasting
diseases and equity dispositions. Z
This consumption OF sardine oil. II

the tissues with heterogeneous waste
products and digestible fat favors
nutrition considerably. The sardine
supplies also an excellent proportion
(25 per cent? Of heterogeneous material.
and so 1t becomes a real and econom-
ical food. In addition to this the sar-
dine has appetfzing qualities, and
