DIET FOR NEPHRlTlS.
Proper Food For Those Afflicted With
Inflamed Kidneys.


Inflamed Kidneys.
In nephritis or inflammation Of the
kidneys diet is very important part
of the treatment. The diet is planned
to reduce the tax on the kidney TO the
lowest terms. Beverages and fluid foods
are limited. no salt is added to food,
certain vegetables which contain much
salt are avoided and meat is cut out
entirely.
DR.. Arthur L. Chace, professor of
medicine, and DR.. Anton r. Rose, as
sociate in pathological chemistry in the
New York Post Graduate Medical
School and hospital, give in the Jour
nal of the American Medical associa-
tion a study of diet for nephritic suf-
ferers.
The general plan of the dietary is
as follows: "A warm cooked cereal, gen.
orally farina served with milk, is given
for breakfast. This is sometimes re-
placed by oatmeal or a baked banana,
and toast and a citrus fruit are occa-
sionally added.
soup made from milk, flour and butter,
given mainly to supply an agreeable
hot dish, though it is also utilized as
a medium for introducing variety by
adding celery, asparagus or spinach;
a main dish consisting of baked pota-
to, now and then replaced by baked
half ripe banana and steamed rice; n
liberal portion of green vegetable and a
lettuce salad with oil dressing, favored
with lemon or vinegar.
"The evening meal is composed of
such articles as ripe bananas, rice pud
ding, cornstarch blancmange, steamed
rice with baked bananas and stewed
fruit Milk and cocoa in limited guam
titles are served as beverage"
From this general outline it is not
difficult to construct twenty different
menus that win contain great variety.

In the earlier days of the industry to
readily reach the conclusion that the
factory workers of today are very
much better situated than were those
who came before them.
In the old days many of the factories
were poorly lighted by day and with
out provision for artificial light by
night, except by such crude means as
candle and lantern might afford. In
one well known factory at that time 1t
was the custom for the owners to pro-
vide candles for the day workers,
while the piece workers supplied them
selves. In another factory the work.
men were supplied with oil burning
lanterns, and 1t was the duty Of each
man when he quit work for the night
to deposit his lantern on rack near
the entrance Of the factory.
