By careful purchasing and the preparation and

completely assured.
2. Regularity.
Meals should be served promptly at regular
hours and no food taken between meals. The
digestive fluids are prepared to perform their
work at the established hours. If food is taken
rregularly the digestive fluids are not ready
and cannot act efficiently. If food is taken
while undigestcd food remains in the stomach
the work of digestion must begin over again,
as the fluids secreted in the early stage OF
digestion are different from those in the last
stages Thus the food previously taken is

Jenny, in Compton Mackenzies story "Carni-
val" had the misfortune to come into the world
with an unusual sensitiveness for rhythm and
music, and she had the misfortune to be born
to a mother with long tradition of Puritan
asccticsm SO it happened that while she
still very little girl her mother felt uneasy stir
rings Of conscience Whenever Jenny manifested
the STRINGS of music. Jenny would dance about
spontaneously without any apparent provocation
the sound of grind organ would send her into
ecstases Of delight, and she would give express
sion to her feelings through joyous and rhythmic
movements. Her mother could not understand
all this; she was that these doings indicated
an undue amount of original sin. SO when Jenny
was old enough to go to school she had already
learned that dancing is wicked, or at least inn
proper.
But the dscoursgemcnts and disapproval of the
mother and the aunts apparently rot enough
to countcract the native impulses. From time to
time the latter got the better of her good inten-
tions, so that it did not take very long for the
other little girls to discover Jenny's special abi-
ties. And then she frequently urged to dance
for the entertainment Of the others One day,

while passing the school, the mother caught
glimpse of Jenny's legs above "semicircle of
applauding children" The mother shocked
and alarmed. Something had to be done about
Jennys wilfulness-a scolding when she came
home and a note to the teacher warning her OF
Jenny's wild inclinations." The teacher remon-
strated with her pupil mice little girls she
asserted, don't kick their legs up in the air
The class was forbidden to encourage the
dancer; mountain was made of a molehill;
Jenny was raised to the giddy pinnacle of hero
ism. She wore about her the blazing glories of
martyr; she began to be conscious of possessing
an exceptional personality. for there had never
been such a fuss any other girls misde

fiancc and danced again in the playground, but
learned that humanity's prime characteristic is

the school would support her justifabe rebellion;
but alas. the school deserted her. Heroine she
might be in corner conferences. Heroine she
might he in linked promenades but when her
feelings were crystallzcd in action the other girls

kept in the stomach too long il fcrmcnts, too
much acid is produced, sour stomach results,
the stomach is irrtated and glands are over
worked become exhausted, and the conse-
qucnce is poor digestion. To do its best work
the stomach requires rest between feelings
During sleep the activity OF The digestive
tract is very slow. Food taken at night, there
fore. especially late is not we'll dgestcd and
is likely to remain in the stomach until 1t
ferments; the pressure produces disturbed
sleep and bad dreams; the stomach is not
ready for digestng breakfast; the individual
wakens tired, without appetite and possibly
with headache or nausea. Babies, having only
milk can be fed at bedtime. With children
two 10 six years an hour should intervene be-
tween the light supper and sleep; with older
children from two to four hours.
If child is regularly hungry between meals
the cause may be (a) insufficient quantity at
meals; (b) diet not well balanced-usuay in
sufficient mineral foods; Co eating too rapidly
so that food is not we'll chewed and therefore
not assimilated; (d) TOO long intervals between
meals If occasionally hungry between meals
light food requiring little digestion should be
given such as fruit Juice, ripe fruit, dates, hgs
or a glass Of milk Cake. cookies candies or
hearty foods upset digestion.
9. Simplicity.
This applies equally to the variety served at
one meal to the method Of preparation and
to the serving. A maximum of five or six
food items at one meal is sufficient and is more
easily digested than greater number. Foods
simply cooked require less work OF the di-
gestive organs than do more complex MKT
ures, and at the same time they cultivate sim
pie tastes, with their contentment
4. Cheerfulness
