mind us strongly Of the latter.
You should have regular habits OF
eating and know something Of the &C.
ton OF food itself. as. for instance. that
TO take soup or broth before . meal
stimulates the stomach and helps diges-
uon. The best appetizer In the world
Is a cup Of broth or bouiilon.
o late year, there has been much
talk OF the pasteuriDation OF milk and
the sterilization OF food. Such prepara-
ton OF food IL Of little value unless
the mouth IL kept clean. Sterile food
becomes Immediately contaminated In
the ordinary mouth; putrefaction fol-
lows. either in the stomach or later In
the Intestinal tract. The result Of such
putrefaction Is poisoning and sickness.
1t Is impossible to disinfect the mouth
PERFECTLY, but by the use Of a tooth
brush and a proper mouth wash CON-
parative cleanliness may be obtained.
The hands also should be kept clean.
Food 10 ftul and Is burned In the
body. but II can be burned only when
there Is SUFFICIENT oxygen. Therefore
you should have plenty OF fresh air.
Especially should the windows be kept
open In the bedroom. Impure air pre-
dlsposes to disease and Is probably the
greatest factor in the production Of
tuberculosis.
"A plentiful supply OF pure drinking
water Is Just as necessary as proper
food n fresh air. II you know the
supply you have is not pure you should
boil the water and cool It. Impure
water leads to ~ hold and bowel dis
orders.
The mount of food that q person
needs Is largely determined by the
amount OF daily exercise he takes and
by the temperature he lives In. People
In cold climates or those working out
doors need more food than those whose
habits are cedentary and who stay In
warm rooms. Insomnia results from
eating too much without the necessary
fresh mir and exercise.
Sufficient sleep Is al necessary. for
siumber prepares you for another day
Of work. both mental and physical. You

They may also produce poison. by the

Therefore you should not depend upon
