PROPER DIET FOR LAZY MEN
Physician Advocates Liberal Feeding
to Keep Person Of sedentary
Habits In Proper Condition.

A proper diet for person of seden
tary habits whose bodily functions
are inclined to sluggishness, as sug
gested by DR.. Tom A. Williams Oi
Washington, is as follows:
"A glass of hot water before ris
ing; grapefruit or two oranges in the
morning with abundance of cereal
milk, and whole wheat bread with
sirup an ample lunch about the mid
die of the day, taken leisurely II
pleasant surroundings, and a meal al
night, preferably without meat, fisf
or eggs, taken in a leisurely fashion
also. One or two apples might b,
eaten Just before retiring. One or tw'
glasses Of water during the morning
and in the afternoon.
Good respiratory habits must b.
acquired. Ten minutes in the morn
ing while dressing, spent in taking
slow abdominal muscle exercises, will
deep breathing, should begin the day
They should be repeated for two o.
three minutes before luncheon, in the
evening and before bed. A correc
posture in a comfortable chair should
be adopted at the desk, especial at
tention being given to prevent saggint
of the abdominal muscles"

Toads have always been looked up
on as loathsome and even poisonous by
country people. From the skins, how
ever, Of toads, Quacks in the middle
ages used to make all sorts of medi-
cines to sell to their patients.
The remarkable discovery has been
made by Doctor Abel that the quacks
were not so far wrong as many people
thought. He made a study of giant
tropical toad found in the river ANA
zon, and from it's skin he extracted a
remarkable substance which cures
dropsy.
OF course it has long been a grand
mothers remedy" to cure dropsy by
means of the skin of a toad, and it
was to find out If there was any truth
in the remedy that Doctor Abel began
experimenting. The same substance
he found in this tropical species he
has also found in the common toad.
Soon doctors will prescribe, perhaps,
boiled toad and caper sauce for drop
sical patients.

DOG WITH AN INDIVIDUALITY
NoSsIISt's Pet Had Many PeeulIarIties,
Some Of Which Were the Cause
Of Embarrassment.

During a summers sojourn in her
native home in Texas, Mrs. T. p.
O'Connor, the talented wife Of "Tay
Pay" wrote q book on the traits and
individual characteristics Of various
dogs that she has owned or known.
While in New York, on the eve of her
return to England, she was inter
viewed by a representative Of the New
York Sun, TO whom she told the fol-
lowing story of a dog owned by Bar
rie, the famous novelist and dramatist.
The dog was evidently the prototype
of the Newfoundland in Barries Lit
tie White Bird"
"Mr. Barrie told me this story" said
Mrs. o'Connor He said that the dog
had a craze for dolls. They would
pass a shop, and the dog would see
doll displayed in the window and
manifest a wish for one. When Mr..
Barrie priced the dolls, the clerk
would invariably ask how old was the
child for whom 1t was intended. And
because he was ashamed to say that
the doll was for the dog, he would
reply: -Four years. as that was the
age Of the Newfoundland.
"One Sunday they went to church
in the country. The dog had been
left outside. But he refused to be sep
arated from his family. At the first
opportunity he squeezed through the
door, and Mr.. Barrie beheld him march
ing up the aisle as the congregation
we're waiting for the service to begin
With a fascinated gaze his owner
watched him make his numbering way
to the pulpit stairs and then ascend
them. He looked all round, turning
his head this way and that, in search
of his master. Then, to gain better
vantage, he put his forepaws on the
Bible desk and calmly stood there or
his hind legs, surveying the assembled
congregation.
"Mr. Barrie did not wish to establish
his responsibility for such behavior
and sat petrif1ed lest the chancel dool
should open and the rector appear
who hated and was afraid of dogs
Miss Barrie, his sister, solved the diff
ficulty by going up and gently leading

proper place in food values they will
no doubt continue to be wasted in
cooking.
The failure of getting good results
from vegetable food may be with the
selection, for vegetables out of season
are neither economical nor satisfac-
tory; the flavor is usually in inverse
ratio to the cost. The best of cook
ing and seasoning cannot supply the
lack"of favor.
Vegetables may be crisp and fresh
when brought from the market, but
by careless handling are wilted and
spoiled.
In the cooking of vegetables there
are few things to remember, first
to retain all the mineral matter and
nutriment possible, to soften the cellu-
lose and to develop the favor, making
them more palatable.
Spinach cooked properly should be
we'll washed and cooked without the
addition of water or very little. This
vegetable being rich in iron which is
soluble in water, may by being cooked
in a large amount of water be nearly
valueless as a food This is true Of
satisfy, green peas and beans, or, in
fact, any of the delicately favored,
succulent vegetables. The season
ing is another important item; the fla
vor should never be disguised by sea-
soning. Usually butter, pepper and
salt, not too much, is the best be-
cause it is the plainest
To accomplish these results one
may use several methods; cook the
vegetable whole or in large pieces, to
cook with the skin on when possible,
to cook in as small an amount of wa
ter as possible without burning, to
serve the water in a sauce with the
vegetable whenever possible, and to
season after the vegetable has start
ed cooking so that the salt does not
draw out the flavor.

They Recommend the "Outside" Appli-

Harmful Internal Dosing.

Intelligent mothers everywhere real
ize that little children should be dosed
sparingly, and yet some treatment for
cold troubles is necessary. Joplin, Mo-,
mothers have solved this problem by
the use Of Vap-O-Rub. This is the
external" Southern treatment intro
duced here last winter. Applied at
night over the throat and chest the
heat of the body releases the ingredi-
ents in the form of vapors, and thus
the medication is inhaled with each
breath through the air passages to
the lungs. Vap-O-Rub gives quicker
relief than internal medicines, and can
be used freely with perfect safety on
the smallest child.
