Why You Should
Take a WALK
AFTER the THEATRE

problem play is not a rest to city man crap
ping with problems throughout the day, nor
a realistic drama to one whose poverty or
personal griefs turn his gaze upon the grim
realities of his own experience. The tired
business man." to use the stereotyped phrase,
accordingly seeks the musical comedy, vaude-
vile or burlesque show, because It rests him.
But even so, such is form Of mental exer-
ton, though only the pleasureable exertion
of being entertained, and the effect is not
greatly different from working late,
To pass from the excitements Of a real con-
iict through the day to the imaginary con
fiots in the evening is not a restful pleasure,
to pass from a stuffy office to a stuffier thea
tire is still less so. The unwisdom of the con
ditions Of theatregoing and the pleasure Of
it can, however, be combined by the simple
precaution of brisk walk homeward after
the theatre. City and town jewellers have
grown afraid of walking, and an hours tramp
would seem a fearful task, while to spend an
hour at a restaurant table-much more
mOnotOnOus thing-seems quite a common
action In a series of tests on the relation OF
theatregoing to sleep. it was found that 3
walk of over half an hour after the theatre
was an almost absolute preventive Of sleep
lessness, that the sleeper walked much more
refreshed in the morning, and that the men,
DRY of the pleasure of the evening before was
keener. The reason for this condition largely
lies in the fact that arterioscerosis, or harden
ing of the arteries, occurs principally in those
arteries where the greatest blood pressure
has been forced TO remain, and that these It's
sue changes occur largely during sleep. But
if, after the excitement of the theatre and the
troubles Of a heavy business Gay the route
home is made partly at least by the healthful
means Of vigorous exercise, much of the evils
attendant on theatregoing would be averted
A play, which has seemed only fairly good.
as one comes out of the theatre would loom
most admirably after two or three milc
walk, It might pay the box-office TO give re
duced rates to such for their comments would
invariably be of praise instead of carping
criticism
OF course, a great many city people live
too lar away from the theatres to walk home
lit would mean awalk of from three TO seven
or eigh; miles but they should take walks.

ENERGY WITHOUT DISTURBING

As important feature of a fish diet any, prob
ably is the fact that, with few exceptions, according
to DR.. Lorand, fish forms less uric acid than meat,
and as it is difficult for person with govt to give
up meat this trouble be overcome in a large de-
gree by having the patient change gradually from all
meat to meat and fish and then practically all fish
until the govt is overcome.
Fish is also valuable food for those suffering
with diabetes, because fish causes much less sugar
than meat and sugar. of course, OF anything that
makes quantities of sugar, is fatal in diabetes In
treating his patients at Carlsbad for diabetes, Dr..
Lorand found that fish diet combined with green
vegetables and carbohydrates such fruit and
rye bread, of great value He also found fish
valuable diet in the treatment of hardening of
the arteries.
Still another popularity concerning fish, and also
another great point in its favor, is that it is spen
did stepping stone between a diet and strictly
vegetarian diet when such is needed. People who
cannot shift at from eating to nothing but
vegetable food find they change gradually from
meat to all fish and from fish to all vegetable
One of the most important things to remember in
connection with all this, however is that the value
of fish in the instances Just explained depends
tirely upon the freshness OF the fish The fish must
be fresh otherwise all its value is lost and

the investigations that have been made as

dangers of ptomaines is apt to bring eczema,
Then again, many good fresh fish spoiled by bad
sauces, rancid butter spoiled cream. Fish soups
form a valuable means of eating the fish.
Smoked fish is quite digestble the fresh
fish, but the dried and sailed varieties not
good. The best method of cooking is to bake fry
for by boiling it generally happens that much of the
savory and valuable food elements are boiled

gest meat than fish.
The fatty fishes are salmon, herring, cells, carp,
whiteish. The lean fishes pike, haddock trout,

have been fried within hour or so after bein8
caught.
The eel has been called the pig" among fish be-
cause he is fat He feeds in uncean waters and on
the bottoms where the soil is muddy rather than clean
sand or gravel and yet the eel probably contains
nutrment than the lean fish. Still another advantage
that be enjoyed in this country is that fish is
cheaper than meat This is especially true along the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts, along the Gulf of Mexico
and near the Great Lakes, In some far inland cities
it is not easy to fresh fish, but there may al

prevent fatigue think a minute OF your bones
and give them some work to do. let the mus
cles rest whenever they can.
There are a great many methods by which
one may rest the muscles OF the body. II
may be restful for a little while to sit with
the legs crossed, that is, one leg thrown
over the knee OF the other; but this brings
the strain on the leg muscles whereas if
the feet were placed WHY on tn floor the
work OF supporting the legs would fan to
the bones where this work belongs.
To reeline in a deep chair Is restful, as u
takes away much muscle strain, but the
habit of hanging one leg over the arm OF
the chair, as many do is really firing that
leg For the same reason it is better to
squat down to pick up anything than to stoop
over, for in sQuatting the centre Of gravity
is retained, while in stopping a great muscle
strain results in the muscular effort made TO
keep your balance.

top of this, the eminent food specialist declares
that it is really the easy digestbility Of fish that
makes it valuable food for brain workers rather
than any excessive amount Of phosphorus it might
contain, although he admits phosphorus is also val
liable.
When food does not digest easily the indigestion
naturally disturbs the brain that it cannot work
normally, and those scholars and others who stuck
closely to a fish diet had little trouble with digest
ing their food that there ills disturb their
brains, hence fish became known as a great brain
food.
But there are other, and probably more important
why upon great many occasions, fish is
better for you than meat If you are possessed of
weak stomach, yet your work demands a lot of food
to enable you to retain your energy fish is much bet
ter than meat because the fatty fishes are so
easily dgested.
For people suffering with various diseases dis
