INDIVIDUALS NEEDS IN FOOD
As to the Suitability of the Diet Every
Man, Woman and Child Is a
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 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 large
allowance In which meat is Il 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 a sup
ply SO unwoEted In quantity and quail
ity, and If they weakly consent so to
overtax their stomachs grief is assur-
edly not far away.-Exchange.

But Times Have chanaed.

Vassar college, the pioneer American
institution for the higher education of
women, was founded by Matthew Vas
sar a wealthy Poughkeepsie brewer.
Having accumulated n fortune, and
being without children, Matthew Vas
sar decided to devote the greater part
of his wealth to the establishment of
some public institution. 1t was at the
suggestion of his niece, Miss Booth, q
successful teacher of girls. that he was
induced to found college for young
women, for which he gave $40S, 900 In
1861, and other sums aggregating as
much more before his death and by be-
quests. When Vassar was opened the
institution was denounced by many
women and numerous clergymen. who
proved to their own satisfaction that a
college for women was an insult to
God One prominent woman said: "Of
one thing we may be sure-no refined
Christian mother will ever send her
daughters to Vassar collegel The
mere fact that 1t is called college for
women is enough to condemn .itw

The constraint of the silence that fol-

rising, and taking his leave.
II think" said Mrs. Folsom, Jerry

II think" said Irene, ut was just

think he'd be so meant"
Irene walking toward the post office
late the next afternoon saw Gerald
Garston passing in an automobile. He
saw her at the same moment, and be-
Ing at the wheel, Immediately stopped
the machine. He was alone, and
begged her to come with him for lit
tie spin. She objected that she must
be home in about an hour, but he said
she need not stay an hour If she did
not wish. The temptation was too
much for the girl, and she got In.
About half mile further, In the out
skirts of the town, he halted the car
himself, went in. He was not gone
more than two minutes when he re-
turned, and they went on. They
bowled along n pretty country road,
Garston's manner was respectfully po-
lite, and Irene was enjoying 1t to the
full. After while she began to re-
mind him he must get cher home In
time. He promised and put on more
speed. After minute or two, he
looked behind, uttered an explanation,
and said: "a cops coming! Speed
ing 1 supposed"
Here the man behind yelled warn
ing, and Garston halted the machine.
The policeman came up on his
wheel, put Garston under arrest, and
told him to drive on to headquarters,
which was only half a mile away, and
he would keep with him. Garston,
followed by the policeman, went In.
After few minutes Garston came out,

worried and embarrassed. He was
fined fifty dollars, he hadn't more than
FIVE in his pocket, and the prospects
were they would both have to spend
the night in the station.
"Oh, but my mother!" cried Irene.
"Oh no no something must be done !"
II haven't even my watch with me.
It's at the Jewelers." he said.
Nearly craZed, Irene took the jew
eled watch from her wrist, and begged
him to leave 1t till he could pay the
fine. Promising to get it back to her
the next day. he took 1t In, and soon
they We're on their homeward way.
Irene anxiously waited for the return
of the watch. The second day she
telephoned the hotel, but Mr.. Garston
had left. Then she called up police
headquarters at EastOn, but they had
never heard of watch or man
named Garston. It was a very neatly
contrived robbery. The policeman was
simply disguised confederate, and
the building not headquarters" The
watch was never recovered, and poor
Irene had to confess to her mother,
and acknowledge that in nine cases out
of ten, girl would better take her
mothers advice. Whether or not she
followed 1t In regard to Jerry, the
wedding cards were out in about three

was called in but failed to do him any
good. ] at last induced him 20 try your
Swamp Root and after taking it for three
months, he was attending to his business
as usual and is now entirely well. This

tous raIlroad-or lacking that, the
trolley car--has found no place on
the south shore strip of the Crimea.
This is a region of roads, southward
from Sevastopol on the west, to Fayo-
dosla on the east. One may reach the
coast places by boats plying between
the two cities named, and there are
some advantages, always, In seeing q
bold and picturesque shore from the
water side. But finally, one must de-
pend on roads.
Along the shore line is the main
highway, extending from Cape Sarytch
on the west to Fayodosla on the east.
To reach the south shore with the
most satisfactory scenic accompani-
ments, one may well travel south by
carriage or motor from the western
rail terminus at Sevastopol. The road
leads up the Baidar valley into the
western heights of Yaila range and
comes out on the heights above the
shore through the Baldar gate, pas
sageway at an elevation of 1880 feet
| which was blasted through the solid
limestone Of the mountain in 1S48.
Scenery Is Beautiful.
From the opening of the Baidar
Gate the characteristic beauty and
magnifcence Of the views from the
mountains down across the shore strip
and out over the Black sea meet the
visitor in striking fashion.
The higher slopes of the mountains
are thickly covered with forests of
oak, beech, elm. pine, frs and other
cone-bearlng trees. Tatar villages,
mosques, monasteries, the palaces of
many Russian mobiles, picturesque
ruins of Greek and medieval fortresses
and other buildings are set on the
steep slopes, in the underground of
hazel and other nuts, groves of bnys,
of expresses, mulberries, figs, olives,
and pomegranates, with great vine
yards, tobacco plantations, and gay
gardens. The vineyards Of the shore
strip, covering nearly twenty thousand
acres, have high reputation, and the
grape cure" is one Of the institutions
of the Crimean summer resorts. Fruit
Of all kinds. is abundant.
Small wonder that the enthusiastic
Russian considers his Crimea one OF
the loveliest and most desirable places
in the world
To all this natural beauty are added
the advantages of what Is practically
an island climate. In some winters
the tops Of the mountains are snow
covered, but snow and ice are rare on
the south slope. The passage from
the continental climate to the island
type is shown by setting together the
temperatures at Melitopol on the
mainland little to the north Of the
Perekop isthmus which Is the neck
of the Crimea, those at Simferopol ir
middle Crlmea, and of Yalta, fore
most OF the coast resorts. At Melito
pol, the annual mean temperature II

Just within the lower range of noun
