INDIVIDUALS NEEDS IN FOOD
As to the Suitability of the Diet Every
Man, Woman and Child Is
Law to Himself.

One condition of good digestion is
that the food presented to the stomach
be suitable to the individual, that 1t
be sound, well cooked and not Excess
sive in quantity. AS to the suitability
of the sort of food, every man, woman
and child is a law to himself, and
much of the indigestion deplored Is
caused by kindly tyrants, who insist
on their family and guests eating what
suits the tyrant and not the victims.
One robust and genial head of the
household of active habits and out
door occupations thrives on a large
allowance in which meat is chief con-
stituent This diet he most generously
wishes to impose on all his family,
but what is to happen to the over
wrought financier, the exhausted
schoolmaster or the woman who gets
much mental stimulus and little exer-
else? Their digestive apparatus can
not be Immediately adapted to sup
ply so unwonted in quantity and quail
ity, and if they weakly consent so to
overtax their stomachs grief is assur-
edly not far away.-Exchange.

Women Melting Prejudice.

Fifty years ago trained nurses were
unknown in this country. In 1873 GER
tain ladies Of New York decided to es-
tablish school of nursing at Bellevue
hospital. Mrs. Joseph Hobson. who
was one Of the founders, says in her
book, "Recollections Of Happy Life: .
Strange to say, doctors were our
chief antagonists, the doctors of the
Bellevue medical board. Not oil OF
them, by any means, but enough to
hamper and hinder and add to our dill
ficulties."
> The conservative doctors" were es-
pecially trying. "We were Ignorant
women interfering with what was
none of our business. and
"they were utterly opposed to our in
reference" A year later the same
board passed a resolution heartily in
dorsing the work.
In the same way many Englishmen
opposed Florence Nightingale; and at
the beginning Of the present war the
offers Of service from woman doctors
were not accepted. Now women In
England are being urged to take med
ical training.
Before women take up any piece OF
work which up to that time has been
done, we'll or badly, by men, they are
required to expend a great part OF
their time, energy and money on get

Had Their Tickets.

Mary Ellen, the colored maid, had
been carefully instructed by her new
mistress in q number Of things con-
corning which she appeared to be pro-
foundry unenlightened. Particular
stress had been laid upon the proper
manner of receiving visitors and of
informing the mistress Of their pres
ence in the house.
Perhaps altogether ito much had
been said about it or perhaps Mary
Ellen had stage fright at the crucial
moment, for when the first callers
came after Mary Ellen's advent into
the family she "ushered" them only
as far as lust inside the hall door.
Taking the cards they gave her, and
leaving the visitors standing there, she
went to the foot of the staircase and
shouted:

Sun.Aeated Water,

Seventy-fve per cert of the homes
in southern California, it is said. have
solar heaters, which furnish the hot
water for domestic purposes. The ar
rangement is simple, and consists of
water pipes placed on the roof Of a
house under a glass top and under
meath them some sheets Of copper
painted black. Under the rays of the
sun the water expands, creating cir
culation thereof in the pipes until the
water reaches the boiling point, and
it will remain hot for more than 4S
hours after the sun stops shining.
1t is not often that there is any fail
ure of sunshine for more than two or
three days, and as consequence there
is hot water sufficient for all pur-
poses with rare exceptions throughout
the year. The cost Of a solar heater
is not great, and handy man can
make one for himself.

FRIENDSHIP is TRUE WEALTH
This Fact Was Recognized by Unusual
Legacy Made in Will CT Late
Justice Lamar

In the will of the late Justice Lamar
of the United States Supreme court
there was one very unusual legacy. He
bequeathed his friendships to his fam
iE.
'To my family" the will runs, Il be-
queath friendships many and numerous
in the hope that they will be cherished
and continued. True friendships arc the
most valuable of our earthly posses
sions, more precious than gold, more
enduring than fame. AS Henry
Drummond has well said, Friendship
is the nearest thing we know to what
religion is!"
The family that inherits such wealth
is truly rich, observes q writer in the
Youths Companion. But it is a legacy
that must be used if it would be pre-
served. Friendships cannot be locked
away in safes or lent to historical ex-
hibits and museums. Like love and
faith and courage, they belong to that
intangible treasure of the soul that
must be kept from destruction by con-
slant service. 1t is not alone material
things that trust doth corrupt"
How many Of us have let slip
through busy or careless fingers the
beautiful and glowing friendships of
our youth? We did not mean to do
it; indeed, we have often regretted
the loss until, as the years pass, the re-
greet gradually fades away. And if that
is true of our own friends, how far
more true Of our fathers friends Yet
there have been families where friend
ships have passed down from father to
son for several generations.
There is food for thought here. How
many fathers are building up fine and
loyal and serviceable friendships that
they can with pride and gratitude be-
uueath to their sons? How many moth
ers are storing up like treasures for
their daughters? The question does
not end there. How many young peo-
pie of today are fitting themselves to
receive such legacies? How many in
all the varied and urgent calls Of life
are needing the challenge to make
themselves worthy Of friendships by
being loyal and fine tempered and gen.
erOus friends themselves?
"a man that hath friends the old
book of wisdom declares, must show
himself friendly" and again, thine
own friend and thy fathers friend for
sake not"

The Busy Bee.

The bee is pointed out as paragon
of patient industry. Few people, how
ever, realize the infinitude Of energy
that must be put forth by swarm of
bees in order to store their hive with
honey. How much do you suppose it
takes to make, for example, pound of
clover honey? The scientists calculate
that it requires the nectar from no
fewer than $4,000 clover blossoms. To
extract this nectar requires 2,750,OOO
visits by bees who often have to go for
it distance of one or two miles. Who
of us has the industry Of the bee?
And vet how else can the honey Of life
be stored?-Biblical Recorder.

been continued down to today, though
more often to be found in the provinces
than in metropolitan areas. When one
sees the picture Of a flying arrow one
knows that it is bathhouse, as the
word for shooting an arrow (yuiru
sounds like yu-iru, taking hot bath.
Dealers in sweet potatoes write up the
ideographs for jusanri thirteen rD,
which means that the potatoes are
nicer than chestnuts (kuri-yori-umaD,
ku-ri, meaning nine ri, and also chest
nuts; the syllogistic Specification being
that as thirteen ri are greater than
nine ri, so sweet potatoes are finer
than chestnuts. The kite maker puts
the picture of an octopus (tako) on his
door, as the word for kite (tako) is
much the same as that for octopus
the vernacular. The dealer in beam
Jam buns has a horse over his shop,
because the word for horse (uma) has
the sound of umai-umai (sweet-sweet),
not unlike foreign yum-yum, for the
same meaning. Such notions may ap-
pear childish, but in the peaceful
Tokugawa days people were evidently
at loss for novelty and had to do
something to preclude ennu1. Such
signs are now seldom seen.
Some Eccentric English.
To foreigners, of course, the more
interesting signs are those essaying
English inscriptions, which often are
ho;Y Fri o.
tempts at spelling and wording. When
you see a sign reading tailor of Re-
sistant Wet Cat" you know that there
is a good place for cheap waterproofs.
"Baggages, Sent Any Direction by In
ternal Railway" means an express Of
fee. Modified Milk for the Scientific
Feeding Of Infants and Invalids" is Of
doubtful significance, as is also SHIFTS
Repaired Here" No one doubts the
meaning of "Horse-Bif Shop" though
why the appeal is made to English
readers no one seems to know. "Coats
Made From Any Hides Yours or Ours"
sounds dangerous, but simply means
furs will be made up from skins
brought to the shop. "Various Kind
Hairs" has the same meaning. Ladies
Furnished in the Upper Story will
bring you a blouse waist "Whale and
All Relating It Are Sold" seems more
ambiguous than it Is.
The stranger will naturally ask why
such ridiculous wording is thus impu-
IDENTIFY stuck up before the public when
it would be so easy to have the Eng
lish corrected before being painted on
the sign. Those asking such ques-
ton but show how unfamiliar they are
with the country they have come to
visit. The man who sets himself up
as painter of foreign signs is not go
ing to admit that he cannot compose
the device to be painted on them. Pos
sibly he gets some schoolboy to find
the words in the English dictionary
that corresponds to the Japanese tdeo-
graphs, and so he paints these words
in any order that seems to him best.
But what of the man who pays for the
sign! Does he not object to paying
for a sign covered with tumble OF
mistakes and then holding them up to
public view? Well, he does not know
the difference, and so long as he is
none the wiser the painter will not
find it profitable to seek correct Eng
glish for his signs. In Japan many
things are done incorrectly simply be-
cause those who pay for the work do
not know the difference.
