Notwithstanding the fact that they have
passed the age which marks the seniIs
decay Of most men.
Aside from water. the inorganic foods
include the salts. These need only A
brief discussion. because II is not often
necessary to provide for them separate
~ in the food list. Inorganic salts are
important however. in that the calcium
salts or lime make UP the substance
OF bone and teeth, while sodium, potas-
SUM, and magnesium salts are used in
the circulating fluids
Mix. which forms the first food taken
by all mammals contains all Of these
salts in the proper proportions and
quantities. Vegetables and fruit juices
also are rich in various salts. as are
eggs, cereals, legumes. and nuts. Thus
1t is impossible to arrange a reasonable
diet which would be free from mineral
salts.
The usual admixture Of milk, eggs,
vegetables and fruits in a vast majority
Of cases will contain the proper salts in
quantities sufficient TO serve all the
needs of the body.
Common table salt seems to be an ex-
ceptiou to the general rule. so that diet
composed largely of vegetable products
needs small addition of table salt to
bring up these elements to the full re-
duirements OF the body. Salt has thus
come to be used as a condiment, and in
this capacity is likely to be used in guam
taties much greater than necessary. While
any moderate use OF 1t cannot be looked
upon as deleterious, fits immoderate use
Is certainly not to be recommended!
Iron is the inorganic substance which.
as a general rule, needs especial attention,
as II is essential in making red corpuscles.
When II happens that iron does not ap-
pear In sufficient quantities In the blood,
the deficiency is indicated by extreme pal
Tor and waxy whiteness of the skin.
This condition OF so-called anemia can
best be remedied by an increase OF these
foods Astounding in iron
A very good way to replenish this de-
icIency is to take two egg yolks, which
are very rich in this salt, with the Juice
of half a lemon, sugared TO taste, in half
a pint of cold water or milk.
Lean meat of deep red coiot from the
best cuts OF steak or mutton. as well az
greens of the darker variety, turn over
their rich tints TO iron pigment.
These foods will also aid in off-setting
the lack Of iron in the blood and restore
the rudy glow to the cheeks once more.

Certainly the second division teams

The evils of the present worlds series

or the inorganic foods, wafer may well
take first place. as it comprises Ct -
per cent of the body.
Water is absolutely essential To the
performance Of every body function.
It is especially important in the diges-
ton of foods in order that the salivary
glands may secrete freely during the
chewing Of food. One should drink a
glass or two Of water an hour before
each meal.
Water is used also in the process of
absorption OF digested foods Water
composes nearly 30 per cent Of the cir
culating fluids of the body, thus making
possible easy distribution Of food mate
rails from the point where they are ao-
sorbed to the various parts Of the body
for assimilation.
The average person needs about two
quarts Of water in every twenty-four
hours. Half OF this amount is generally
secured by the use Of liquids taken at
meaItime, and the other half should be
secured by drinking between meals.
OF course, on hot dry days, one will
need more water, and this requirement
Of the system is generally accurately in
dicated by the sense Of thirst. Some peo-
pie drink too much water, but the ma
jority not enough. One of the most es-
Sentfal rules IN personal uSBlene mas "
do with the use of water. 1t is as fol-
lows: Get up at least 'forty-five minutes
before breakfast. drink one or two glasses
Of cold water. take five or ten minutes
Of brisk exercise, standing near an open
window undressed. except for underwear.
Always start and end your exercise with
deep breathing Follow this with exer-
cises of arms, legs, and especially those
which bend, stretch, twist. and turn the
trunk, so that the abdominal muscles are
brought into vigorous action.
A most important part played in this
mornings exercise is performed by the
water. which washes out the stomach,
carrying the accumulations through the
coils of the intestines and after the
morning exercise induces copious early
morning natural evacuation OF the
bowels
No more important hygienic regime
can be adopted than that which I have
outlined above to tone UP the muscles,
give an edge to appetite, quicken and
compel. digestion, and insure a clear
complexion and bright Iustrous eyes.
This Is the regime followed by the

says John b roster IN the New 1ork
Evening Telegram:
Some fear is expressed that Lajoie's
most active days as a ball player are at
an end. II he Is compelled to retire,
or II he feels that the activity of the
game demands too much from him to
continue regularly in service, the Cleye-
land club is not to be the only loser.
The thousands of baseball fans who
admire proficiency in their favorite play
ers will regret to a man that he has ar
rived at that period Of life where time
calls a halt
Lajoie has been one Of the fine char
acters of baseball for a long term Of
years Not only is he one OF the most
expert men who ever took part in the
game professionally, but he is manly
fellow and a player Of fine department.
AS fielder he has been a marvel. His

ever lived. never have been understood
by spectators until after they have seen

Of the Nationals prior to last season was
the guy who put the Bunk in Bunkum.
Listen to this excerpt from Mackay's
prolific pen:
Down where President Taft hangs his
hat Clark Griffith caused more acute at
tacks of nervous prostration than any
thing since the days of 1872, when the
British had a nice bonfire of all our
bought-and-paid-for government build
ings.
Washington used to shove that OLD at
mospheric gag over the footlights And
il got across, too. But 1912 put dent
in that stun as deep as the Delaware
River.
Grihith came away from Cincinnati,
which is the limit. He went to Wash
ington. The latter place is one of the
best ball towns on the face of Gods
green carpet. When the home team wins
in that burg .he team played great base
ball.
Let the other fellow kick the local pets
in the plaza and it was a case Of tough
luck or the breaks went against Wash

Well, Grit went down there. He in
herited the finest collection of antiques
and mosaics in the American League.
c. G. had some players who, IL they let
started major league baseball, would
look like the Seven Sutherland Sisters
turned around.
What did Grin do? Well. he went
right after the Weather Bureau bunk at
the start. He filled his team with
young men; kids, IL you please. He
went after speed and he got il. He col
lected Chick Gandil. he put a lasso on
Kid Foster, he grabbed a number of
other young men. Griff gave Washing
ton lamps the first sight Of real base
ball which the Capital had ever seen.
By the first Of July there were more
bugs wandering around lose in Wash
ington than could be found in a reunion
at Matteawan.
There wasn't any dope handed out
about the weather then. Not on your

in second place was about as much of
miracle as purchasing a shell of beer

Now the Capital has been awakened
from long Rip Van Wrinkle and is get
