is that while one meal psr 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. n our eminent specialist Is TO be cred.
itec, 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 pracu-
TONERS OF the healing art.
One teacher bids US drink freely between
meals, avoiding mineral waters and fceo
beverages. A second advises warm bever-
ages with meals, urging what he calls
" the cruel absurdity Of stpffing 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
carly in the morning.
The stomach, as he reminds US. accumu-
lates a coating Of ,mucus 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
q first course for breakfast and decries
the practice in Scotland and elsewhere Of
lining the already coated stomach with
" q poultice Of oatmeal or mush. or other
viscid cereal" The bath Of hohed 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 lear ned
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
careful study of his or her gastronomic
idiosyncrasies and lay down his or her own
plan OF action.
In palmer English, It is the duty OF each
one Of US to find out what manner Of food
agrees with ones own constitution; when
It makes for ones comfort and health to
take meals, and, having formulated dict

any other liquid than the moisture which
clings to the stalks after they are washed

when it is clear and tender put in the sugar.
Color and flavor are preserved in this way.

Prepared in this way it has the flavor OF

Rest First: Eat Afterpud.

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 a century or 80 ago by a cele-
brated naturalist.
a dozen dogs were devoted to the costly
test. They We're led for hours through an
exciting fox chase and upon their return
six of the pack were made to eat heartily
and after a few hours We're killed. The
other six were allowed to obey the disposi
ton to lie down for a long sleep. When
they awoke. several hours thereafter, they
were given as much food as they would eat
ard 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.
This is a branch Of our subject to which
we may revert later. What l would say now

After the manner OF beasts that perish?
II you choose to put IT thatway. Our no.
bier animal has certainly wandered very
far away from natures heart in the prog
ress of civilization. y,
Yet il he is a farmer he does not shake
down the hay and oats into the mango

ping with sweat and painting after the
forenoons blowing. He lets them cool of

home. IL the e" noon spell be not up by
the time he has bolted the second slice OF
leathery pie he drops down upon the best

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 its business while he shores
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
