Feeds Himself. but Not His Horse.

After the manner of beasts that perish?
If you choose to put it that way. Our " no
bier animal &" has certainly wandered very
far away from nature heart in the prog
ress of civilization.
Yet if he is farmer he does not shake
down the hay and oats into the manger
for his horses when he brings them in drip
ping with sweat and painting after the
forenoon's blowing. He lets them cool off
and rest until he has had his " feed
He would stare at your ignorance If you
asked him why he made the difference be-
tween the biped and the quadruped If he
is town teamster he would not hold his
place long after the boss " caught him
letting his team swig gallons of water and
surfeit themselves with provender when
they were hot and tired
He gulps well water cold as he can
get it, and by the quart, as soon as he gets
home. If the noon spell - be not up by
the time he has bolted the second slice of
leathery pie he drops down upon the best
room sofa and snatches his forty winks -
Just as his grandfather did in the same
room.
Our sprightly ex-editor says that he may
do this with impunity. Nature will see to
it that the heart beats regularly and goes
steadily about it's business while he snores
away the half hour without so much as
removing his heavy shoes. Here again
doctors differ. Many healthy persons who
do not consciously suffer from indigestion
have told me that if they take siesta i'm
mediately after a hearty meal they awake
with a terrible sense of oppression in the
region of the heart and an indescribable
and unaccountable feeling of mental de-
preston.
One woman who invariably has this ex-
perience when she sleeps in the hour sue
ceeding luncheon adds that she " must
have her heart examined. She cannot lie
upon her left Ade without awaking with
an awful sensation of sinking, sinking into
unfathomable depths" She had never
heard until I told her that the laden stom-
ach impinges upon the rightful territory of
the heart when one lies upon the left side.
Hers is not the only case of :" heart
trouble " that might be explained away
after the same fashion.
have touched upon one section after an
other of the letter 1 have used as the text
for my informal talk today without sub
scribing fully to any one or to the commune

to keep my constituents from becoming

is that while one meal per diem may be a
safe and wholesome regimen for four out
of ten dyspeptics, it is highly probable that
it would work disaster to the remaining
six. If our eminent specialist is to be cred
tied. probability will ripen into certainty.
We find wide variance of theory and prac-
tice with respect to the rules laid down by
our correspondent as to drinking before
and after meals and those promulgated by
other writer's upon hygiene and practi-
TONERS of the healing art.
One teacher bids US drink freely betwee
meals, avoiding mineral waters and iced
beverages. A second advises warm bever-
ages with meals. urging what he calls
" the cruel absurdity of stuffing the stom-
ach with cry hard food. which will tax
the gastric juices to the utmost" He is
particularly insistent upon the duty of
drinking a couple glasses of boiled water
early in the morning.
The stomach. as he reminds us. accumu-
lates a coating of mucous during the
night of inaction. This must be washed
away before the normal secretions can
assert themselves and assimilate nourish-
ment. The same writer prescribes fruit as
a first course for breakfast and decries
the practice in Scotland and elsewhere of
lining the already coated stomach with
% a poultice of oatmeal or mush, or other
viscid cereal. The bath of boiled water
and the gentle acid of fruit cleanses and
stimulates the digestive organs.

Who Is Right and Who Wrong /?

Who shall decide when so many learned
doctors disagree, and so materially? Who
is right in part and who is utterly wrong?
In view of the mass of conflicting author
tiles and the cloud of sounding words that
darken the understanding of the average
reader it behooves each of US to make a
careful study of his or her gastronomic
idfosyncrasies and lay down his or her own
plan of action.
In palmer English, 1t is the duty of each
one of US to find out what manner of food
agrees with ones own constitution; when
1t makes for ones comfort and health to
take meals, and, having formulated a dict
airy, to stand by ones convictions. If yoa

Spiced Rhuborb.

" VIII you give me a recipe for spiced
rhubarb-a sort of sweet pickle? ate some
in the house of friend the other day which
was delicious. 1t was bought at a woman s
exchange. But their prices are always
high, and we have quantities of rhubarb
in the garden which I might utilize in this
way
haven't the least idea how to go about
it. I never put up anything in the line of
pickles and preserves until this year, hav-

l so fortunate as to have under my
hand a recipe sent In by practical house
mother which may be just what you want:
scrape the stalks of the plants nicely. not
cutting too deeply. Much of the flavor and
succulence lie close to the skin. Then cut
into inch lengths and lay in iced water for
half an hour. Put into granite or enam-
ell lined saucepan dripping wet as it comes
out of the water, and strew between the
layers white sugar allowing three-quarters
of a pound to each pound of rhubarb.
When all is in fit a top upon the sauce
pan and set it in pot of cold water. Bring
slowly to the boil and keep this up until
the contents of the inner vessel are tender
throughout and of fine pink color Then
stir In for each pound of rhubarb a table
spoonful eacn OF ground cinnamon anu OF
cloves and a teacupful of vinegar. Cover
again and cook for half hour longer.
Pour into jelly glasses rolled in hot water
and wet inside. When it is cold cover with
melted paraffin.
Let me say that gooseberries and grapes
are fine put up in the same way
I agree with the correspondent to whom
we owe the recipe in preferring to cook
rhubarb without the addition Of water to
stewing it. as Is usually done never add
any other liquid than the moisture which
clings to the stalks after they are washed
and laid in cold water. Then cook it in
the inner vessel of a double boiler, and
when it is clear and tender put in the sugar.
Color and flavor are preserved in this way.
II the rhubarb is for sauce" and is to be
used at once, I do not cook the sugar with
1t at all.
Prepared in this way IT has the flavor of
fresh fruit and not of preserves If you
like you may stir in handful of cleaned
sultana raisins when the contents of the
inner kettle have cooked for half an hour.

Rest First; Eat Afterward.

The predatory beast returning from the
chase does not devour his game until he
has rested. A familiar illustration of the
truth of our specialists theory in this re-
spect is that of an experiment made in
England century ago by cele-
brated naturalist.
A dozen dogs were devoted to the costly
test. They were led for hours through an
exciting fox chase and upon their return
six of the pack were made to eat heartily
and after few hours were killed. The
other six were allowed TO obey the disposi-
ton to lie down for long sleep. When
they awoke. several hours thereafter, they
were given as much food as they would eat
and left until a certain time had elapsed
the same number of hours that had been
apportioned to the work of digestion in the
case of the first half dozen.
The stomachs of the dogs that had eaten
while wearied with the chase were full of
undigested food. The six that had been
allowed to rest before they were fed had
digested the meal thoroughly.

we may revert later. What would say now

We have the doubtful honor of numbering
more dyspeptics among our men and wom-

same population in any other country.
Whatever tends to lower the percentage

readers were I to mention 1t. feeds the

nourishment at a time His contention IS
that the stomach requires to be kept up 20

a weak stomach gets empty and remains
empty for hours 1t loses tone and force.

He points to the habits of wild animals and

too fast and do not masticate as nature
meant we should when she fitted up our
jaws with teeth, and melted out the reoui-
site quantity of gastric fluid for each nor
NAL human creature. The essayist snS
practitioner who protests against chunk
ing dry food into the stomach as one
pitches coal into the furnacesof al engine"
has reason, and plenty Of IL, upon his side.
But to expect copious drafts OF ice cold
liquid to do the work of assimilation be-
cause it softens the aforesaid chunks, Is
going many steps too far.
Lumps of meat and vegetables distress
the long suffering stomach to agony. and
the swash tide of liquid retards the leKfti-
mate functions Of the allmentary organs.

pleasantly? The flow of cheerful talk pro-

I interpret that to mean that the merry
eater takes time to chew his food and to
stop to laugh between swallows. He who

that he could not sit at table with them.

Another cardinal principle of sanitary
eating is to let severely alone whatever has
disagreed with you so often that you can
not escape the conclusion of its wholesome

oysters, Holsters, and crabs may be harm
less to your neighbor and to every mem

Drink Rules. etc, for Dyspep-
tics,' I am sending you revised
copy.
Il am myself an old time tor-in-chief
and comprehend that you have not room for
everything you would wish. to publish But
I know these rules to be practical and
sound. I have long known and practiced
them myself. although I have never until
now formulated them.
F1rst-Dr1nk nothing half hour be-
fore meal
second-Drink nothing during meals
that is, force the stomach to supply its own
digestive secretions.
" Third-Drink nothing for two and half
hours after meals.
." Fourth-Then drink what you please.
including iced water.
When once the habit is formed, these
rules are easily followed The resulting
comfort is so great that you would no
longer think of flooding the stomach with
a lot Of foreign liquid while eating.
." Fifth-If soups are eaten. avoid the
thin and watery kind. Use instead broths
and purees.
=" Sixth-Avoid the excessive use of butter
as a spread for breads. In Europe-the
bread being exceptionally good-no spread
of any kind is used upon it with meat
dinner With other meals, should an &C
compartment to bread be desired, cheese
IS better than butter. At its best, bread is
not a prime favor1te with the dyspeptic 1t
is especially undesirable for those who are
threatened with locomoter ataxia.
50 acknowledgements will often find it
well to eat only one meal day Give the
stomach a rest during the remainder of
the twenty-four hours.
q" remark in passing that this IS the
best anti-fat rule ever formulated. It
is far superior to any prescription involv-
ing the use of drugs. Food should be made
tempting and there should be plenty of it,
but for the overcorpulent a one dish diet
per meal is better than variety of fare.
" Eighth-The hour of eating may be any
one in the twenty-four, provided it is al
ways the same hour of the day.
- Ninth-If you feel sleepy after your
meal, yield to the inclination and take a
nap, no matter what wiseacres may say to
the contrary. Your heart will (presum-
ably keep on beating while you sleep and
nature knows how to carry on the process
of digestion without your remaining awake
to look after it.
