The first program meeting since the

day afternoon, with Mrs. May F. Mont
gomery president, in the chair. Mrs.
Montgomery gave a few Introductory
remarks, and introduced as the speak
er, DR.. Clara Schunk, member Of the
medical staff Of the sanatorium at Me-
vada
DR.. Schunk spoke on Food and Food
Values" and in introducing her subject
defined food as an object. which when
taken into the stomach, builds tissue
or yields energy. from scientific point
Of view. Proper food does not affect
the body injuriously. Dwelling upon
food that is not good for one. among
other things she referred to some
spices and relishes saying. Beware Of
things that are hot when thew are
cold The old adage. CAS- a man think-
eth in his heart. so is he" mays be
changed to "As he eateth. so is he"
she said, for it has been proven be-
yond doubt that food affects the
temper 1t is literally true that we are
made from the food that we eat
The real nutritive and chemical
value of the food we eat is unknown to
the average person, and DR.. Schunk
spoke Of the truly amazing indifference
Of the American people to the science
Of eating. The primary objects Of food
are to supply our bodies with material
for growth or renewal. and with en-
ergy or capacity for work. She went
on to tell what elements entered prfn-
cipallv into the composition of food
and their varying effects upon the body.
A chart was shown. illustrating the
proportions in which these elements
were found in a long list Of common
food articles. and combinations which
could be used to get the proper GUAM
tity Of each element in an ordinary
meal Vegetable fats are more easily
digested than animal fats, she said.
and as to fruits, while they are not as
high in nutritive value as cereals, they
are pleasing to the taste and have
their effect in toning up the system.
The fruit sugar is the only sugar which
passes Immediately into the blood
stream The acids Of fruits are highly
nourishing.
1Starches are the most abundant OF
all the elements Of human food. and
to get the best effects. it Is necessary
to cook all starchy foods thoroughly.
DR.. Schunk asserted that the Ameri
can people eat too much meats which
consists largely Of protein, the struc-
ture builder of the body. A low pro-
tein diet favors recovery from many
diseases, such as rheumatism, sick

A FINE ENGLISH STORY,

ler. Published by John Lane Company.
New York
This is first-class English story. Il
double love story in a way. society
story. an art story, and story of be-
nevolence and good will. The leading
character is Clementina, who is at once
great artist, terrible "bear' In her
outspoken, rough truthfulness, but a
pillnr of strength to those who rely up
on her. and guardian Of power to
those she has in her charge. A Doctor
QuiXtus is the hero of the story. mild"
hammered. gentle man, who has the
heavy buffctings of fortune delivered to
him in way that he iInagines has
soured his blood, and made him O mon
ster of wickedness. His efforts to be
wicked are both pitiful and humorous,
but the depth of feeling which actuatcs
him is evident throughout. There is a
deep pitfall set for Doctor Quixtus, and
Clementina alone can save him from it..
She does this in the grand manner. and
to the sacrifice of much of her old pro-
fessions and individuality; but, like the
noble woman that she Is, she rejoices
in the sacrifice, and holds it as nothing
if only those whom she loves and
wishes to serve are helped thereby. 1t
is a fine story, indeed, nobly told.
