DIET FOR THE TUBERCULOUS
General Idea That Too Much Food
Cannot Be Given Is Shown to
Be Erroneous.

Many traditions with regard to the
feeding of tuberculosis patients and
with regard to food in general, are
given severe blows in a series of ar
ticles published In the October num-
Der of the Journal of Outdoor Life. the
official organ of the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis. DR.. John r. Murlin Of
New York, assistant professor Of
medical college holds in an article en-
titled The Dynamic Principles of Nu-
triton" that a consumptive will gain
weight and do we'll on three pints Of
whole milk, eight ounces of cream,
five ounces of milk sugar, six eggs
and two slices of buttered toast as a
ration for "a hours. The entire diet,
with the exception of the bread and
butter, could be prepared in advance
and served for a cost of about fifty
cents for the day. Miss Cecilia Flick
of the Henry Phipps institute of Phila-
delphia, also offers some sample diets
which the ordinary family can prepare
for even less than fifty cents day.
DR.. David r. Lyman of Wallingford
Conn, and DR.. Paul B. Johnson Of
Washington. ID. c., both agree that
the ordinary person eats too much
and that the old notions about stuffing
a tuberculosis patient at all times and
seasons have been proven false. Dr.
Lyman holds that eggs are not nee.
essary article Of the consumptive's
diet, and that tuberculosis patient
should eat anything that agrees with
him that is nourishing. He thinks
that a tuberculosis patient should eat
only little more than person in
ordinary good health.

MORE ABOUT BEANS.

There is no soup that goes to the
spot and is more nourishing than a
hot bean soup on cold night. Even
a tablespoonful of baked beans should
never be wasted, as they add flavor
and food value to any dish. In many
homes of luxurious livers. the bean
soup Is always served once a week In
cold weather
The following are few good ones:
Economical Soup.-Brown a table
spoonful of -four In as much butter.
Add a quart of water and a cup Of
cold baked beans. Boil fifteen min
utes, season with salt. pepper and a
few drops of onion Juice or a dash Of
mace. Serve hot
A slice Of lemon in the bottom OF the
soup dish, when serving bean soup. Is
liked by many.
PURGE Of Bean Soup.-Soak half a
pound of beans eighteen hours Cook
until mushy; add a quarter of a can
of tomatoes. one onion fried brown
In bit OF salt pork; salt. pepper and
grating of nutmeg. Cook together

When the steamer left an artillery
duel was taking place between the
batteries of the imperialists, which
were planted back of the British con

CANADA'S CENSUS
A THlRTY-TWO PER CENT IN.
CREASE IN THE PAST TEN
YEARS.

That Canada has come rapidly to
the front in the past ten years is am
ply shown In the results of the census
recently made public. The population
OF the Dominion is now placed at
1851 1863, which with outlying points
to be heard from, may bring 1t up to
IN millions as compared with 5,371,-
315 in 1901. Though these figures are
large, they do not present total as
large as was expected but they do
show a greater increase of percentage
In population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
by the Republic was 24%; the per-
centage of increase In Canada for the
decade is 1920. Thus 1t will be seen
that the provinces west Of the lakes,
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping of grain and the Valleys Of
British Columbia capable Of producing
fruit with which to supply its neigh
boring provinces east Of the noun
tains, have attracted numbers, which
has exceeded the most optimistic OF
the expectations of ten years ago.
Upon the prairies Of the ten years
ago there was but spare scattering
Of people; but today, no matter in
which way you go, take any direction,
and you find homes and farms and
good ones too, occupied by the very
best class of people in good sized set
Elements with plenty of room for five
or six times as many more. The pop
ulation of Alberta is set down at 372,-
919, as compared with 1902 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453,508 as compared
with 1870 in 1901; Manitoba's 1884,
691 compares well with it's 255,211 in
1901; and so does that Of British Co
lumbia-362,768 as against 17S,657 in
1901; but in a territory as large as
this a population of 1,643,000 is little
more than discernible in point of num-
bers. The work through 1t has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up; its cities, Winnipeg
with $4,000; Vancouver with upwards
of 100000; Calgary with $4,000; Ed
monitor, Regina, Saskatoon; Leth-
bridge; Medicine Hat, Moosejaw,
splendid cities-none better any
where; we'll maintained and equipped.
These have come with existence and
been built as they have been built by
reason of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed. The population is scarcely dis
cernible. A population ten or twelve
times that shown by the recent
census could be easily maintained in
even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly a wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
to the development of the west will
enrich the last. This is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done in the past ten years is but a
beginning. The next decade will
show far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding well
come the progressive and industrious
citizen. The invitation is a standing
one. At the forthcoming land exposi'
ton in Chicago, Canada will have one
of the best exhibits Of farm products
that has ever been made and 1t will
be we'll worth while inspecting it and
getting information from those who
may be in charge.
