life be quite As valuable as any 81
the studies prominent In our sohoo
curriculum.
The foods should be well cooked
properly combined and daint1ly
served.
The man working out Of doors nest
eat more than the office man. He
must eat food which viii build ana

pay the penalty. II he eats a heavy
luncheon and returns to his desk fos
work. again he pays the penalty both
physically and mentally.
This sort OF feeding kills OF 1iss

an invalid of the strong. Foods 81
children and older people have much
in common. as in both instances we
are especially concerned In the build
ing Of the body. Select a diet simple
in foods and combinations; one that
will give the present amount Of
energy with the smallest amount Of
effort Otherwise, there will be what
Is called sickness. To be PERFECTLY
clear, any unused food In the bodx
is surplus. We have no place to
store it. THE body finds for idle
foods some mischief sure to do. II
becomes a deposit which in due time
causes colds, rheumatism and a hun
dred other ills.
Nourish and keep alive the activities
and do not prod them with any stin
ulants. II o masticate yDur food
: well. eat raw cabbage. celery. rad
ishes, lettuce and cress-they are fine
cleansers to the system.
One of the most common difficulties
of older and elderly people is gas IN
digestion If the teeth are not quite
as good. they eat too many soft foods
which are not mixed with the saliva
and enter the stomach unprepared
and trouble begins.
After we have reached or passed
full maturity, to make the remainder
of Dur life happy and satisfying. we
should a and live to repair the body
worn out by the days work. II you
do not work you viii continually think
Of yourself and grow old
Never make radical changes. Con-
tinue tea and coffee If you have used
them in moderation. Do not eat pork
nor any Of the ~so-called fried foods
If meats are used they should e
broiled, baked or boiled and served
without rich sauces; or, IL the j can
be entirely removed, well and good
Rice is a better starchy food than po-
tatoes. except baked ones. With some
elderly people four or Ave light meals
are better than three.
The substantial meal is better taken
in the middle of the day; such foode
as rice, simple salads, broiled or
chopped meat, baked potatoes. boiled
rice, vegetable purees, sponge cake
Bavarian creams and fruit juices such
as pineapple and grape.
Several years ago midday meals
