liant person is careful as to the guam
tity as well as to the quality of food
his body accepts. Too much food rem
ders the mind incapable of proper
thought. Too much food clogs the
millions of cells in the body structure
and interferes with every function
that human economy possesses.
The deadly, dangerous, filthy and al
most omnipresent fly renders much of
our food unfit for use as food. De-
cayed and dirty food will cause gas
trointestinal diseases by introducing
heterogeneous multitudinous into the
alimentary canal. The result of the
introduction of millions of germs into
the stomach and intestines means that
the blood stream gets poisons from the
bacilli or germs that infest the ali
mentary canal. Even the dead germs
produce poisonous material by their
mere decomposition in the gastrointes-
final tract. Not only must we protect
ourselves from the living germ but
from the dead microorganism.
This season of the year is producing
multitude of ailments because of the
failure of the people to meet the con-
ditions of nature. The physicians are
aware of the fact that gastritis, indi-
gestion, fatulence, cholera infantum,
cholera morbus, and other stomach and
intestinal disorders are upon US with
many people trying to evade the issue.
Babies suffer most and the toll
of death will be greater for them in
the hot weather for obvious reasons.
The intelligent person will not take
patent medicine to fight the germs nor
resort to Christian unscience but will
seek the trained scientific diagnosti-
clan.

Cleanliness internally is of more i'm
port than is apparent to the casual OBJ
server. The tendency is to eat regu-
larly at stated intervals, habitually, of
every article of food that is put be-
fore the eater. That is done by most
persons without regard to the actual
food needs of the body. In summer
the food needs are less than in the
winter, but in spite of that fact many
persons eat the same amount and kinds
of nutriment. It is the old, old story
of habit, nothing more. The average
housewife understands the psychology
of the force of habit and saves the
family much in health and food ex-
pense by making believe that all the
food has been placed upon the table
when nothing of the kind has been
done. This is only one of the diplo-
matte tricks of the sophisticated house
wife in her marvellous services. In this
one trick she does more to prolong life
and promote the gospel of happiness
than we are inclined to admit. She
knows that we will eat more if we see
more until stomach and intestinal au-
tOtoxemia begin to deprive US of the
priceless heritage of health.
Distress after eating is the first evil
dence of stomach and intestinal auto
toxemia. A distension in the region
of the stomach and lower down in the
region called intestinal is present.
Eating too much is intemperance. Bet
ter eat too little than too much. Bet
ter still it is to eat sufficient. It has
been aptly said that many persons dig
their graves with their teeth. The Wig

BuIwsr Lytton and His Chorus.

The Princess Won Racowitsa met
Bulwer Lytton In the Riviera toward
the end of the fifties. He was then,
she says in her autobiography, past
his first youth; his fame was at its
zenith. He seemed to me antedilu-
Wan, with his long dyed curls and his
old fashioned dress. He dressed exact
ly In the fashion Of the twenties, with
long coats reaching to the ankles, knee
breeches and long colored waistcoats.
Also he appeared always with a young
lady who adored him and who was
followed by a manservant carrying
harp. She sat at his feet and appeared,
as he did, in the costume of 1880, with
long flowing curls, called Anglaises.
He read aloud from his own works,
and In especially poetic passages his
Alice accompanied him with arpeggios
on the harp"

Shinale Roofa

There is a definite record Of an early
use Of shingles for roofing in England

method Of making roofs was common
The shingles were thin pieces Of split

still exist In England, especially on the

Reports from the border indicate

ness with a firm that is blacklisted, out
if a neutral firm hsbitually and sys-

trading between British firms and
blackisted firms, the cases would be
different.
Regarding payments 70 blacklisted

Berlin, July 27 via London. July
29).-The reply Of LORD Robert Cecil,
British Minister Of War Trade, in Par
lament on the British blacklist and
the insinuation that il only followed
the German example has evoked a
sharp semi-official rejoinder from the
"Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.'
which accuses the minister of equivo-
cation and trifing with the truth:
The newspaper writes that Lord Rob-
ert CeciPs arguments were already con-
troverted in the German memorandum
to the neutrals of June 10 on the ille-
gality Of British measures against neu-
tral firms. Lord Robert did not at
tempt, the newspaper says, TO reply to
the memorandum, but tried TO blacken
Germany by asserting that Germany
resorted TO similar measures against
firms in neutral countries.
This assertion" the newspaper
adds, sis absolutely untrue. No meas
ure ever was adopted in Germany
which in any way is comparable to the
illegal interference Of England in the
commercial liberties of neutrals."
