p@ taken SLOWLY COWP6S6Gly anu cheerfully. There should be few hours rest after supper before retir- ing. Persons with weakened arteries should eat very light suppers. Chil- dren may eat between meals if they eat something easily digesteo.
 A stalwart laborer requires and can digest a larger meal. rich in fats and starches than can a sedentary or 1n- dolent person whose supply of food should be small and dtgestible. If tea, coffee, cocoa, or water are drank at meal time they should be drank before and after eating.
 Many articles of diet that are con- sfdered unwholesome are so usually because they are badly prepared Too much can not be said in favor of scientific cooking. Potatoes properly cooked are staple form of diet. Green vegetables are palatable and fairly nutritious. Never use deeayed or over ripe vegetables. Fruit is us- ually used too largely by the Ameri- can people, fruits help the digestive golden--at lunch it may well be used, but should not be eaten between meals The harm in eating fruit may lie in it's excessive use or in eating that which is unripe or unsound. Lungs.
 A large percent of incipient tuber- cular cases are directly the result of improper breathing. The apices or top of lungs not being fully expanded. Only pure air should be breathed and when the carbon monoxide gas ac- cumulates in the air we breath dire results may follow. believe 1t ls wrong and unhealthful to sleep in warm room.
 Only by proper breathing pure air is the blood stream cleansed and made pure and life giving. Pure air and sunlight are death to germs Proper attention must always pc paid to the way our children are , seated in school. Faulty seating and desks may produce curvature of spine and the typical fiat chested round- shouldered person who may later be claimed by consumption.
 The best treatment for and the pre- vention of spinal deformities is well regulated, calisthenic exercises.
 Exercise.
 It is we'll known that even a mod crate amount of exercise causes the heart to beat more quickly. A cer- tain amount of exercise is good for the heart as well as the respiration and digestive system
 Excessive or prolonged exertion may dilate the heart, cause lesions of valves and aneurysm. A rapid un- equal and irregular rt-beat shows that exercise is excessive.
 sOld people and people with weak hearts should never run to catch trains, make speeches on full meals, etc.
 A word about nerves and American A large per cent. of nervous cases are caused by worry-Join the Don't worry club"
 A striking example of the sacrifice of health from avoidable and pre- ventable suffering is the great num- Der of physical and moral wrecks, the victims of the very prevalent habit of worry. So close are the relations of the mind and body that one of the most prolific sources of suffering Is continuous worry, and one of the surest ways to restore health that is threatened is to keep the mind cheer ful and hopeful
 Excessive ambition, misdirected energy, longing for the unattainable, regret for the unalterable anticipation of future happenings, lack of sense Of perspective. fretting over non essent- ials, indecision, reopening of trouble some questions already settled, ava- rice, selfishness, uncontrolled pas Sions and the actual cultivation of the melancholic state are some of the important causes of mental anguish and subsequent physical suffering that are not commonly associated with the baneful breaches of hygenic laws.
 Observance of this would do much to lessen the great American army of neurasthenics and those afflicted with AmericanitiS. Sleep is natures sweet restorer-the average adult man needs eight hours sleep. Children and old people need more.
 A glass of hot milk or hot bouillon at bed time will often help insomnia. DoctorD Courtney says, Affections of the brain and nervous system are in greater measure preventable than those of other parts, consequently the mental and nervous salvation of the individual is, practically speaking, to a very marked extent within his own hands, and may be worked out by him through rigid attention to the guidance of hygenic laws.

 The Southern Railway has been se- lected as the official route from the east to the G. A. R. encampment, which is to be held at Chattanooga, Tenn, September 15-2G next. A num- Der of special trains will be operated via Washington from points in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, District of Columbia, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. In addition thereto, special trains will al so be provided for the auxiliary branch of the G. A. R., notably Sons of Veterans, Women's Relief Corps, etc. Alfred H. Beers, commander in chief, will also travel by headquarters special train to Chattanooga. It is estimated that fully 5000 persons will be moved from the eastern section of the country to the encampment.
 The action of the transportation committee of the G.. A. R. in selecting the Southern Railway as the official route will afford the veterans and their friends an unusual opportunity to observe the remarkable growth and development of the new south.
 The new Soutr. will prove a marvel to the visitor from the north and east, who will make the trip under these suspicious conditions. Aside from the scenic wonders to be seen points of historic interest are on every hand. The city of Chattanooga itself affords a splendid setting for the encamp- ment, as every foot of the city and its environments is hallowed by the memory of the great conflict. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the south progressive and delightful.
