GOOD HEALTH RULES FOR ALL
English People. Have Many Ideas
Which II Would Be Well for
Americans to Copy.

One of the most popular forms Of
food In England is cheese. This SUP.
plies a highly concentrated protein
food which, when properly rlpened and
mastlcated, is usually well asslmllated
Not only does this food contain large
percentage OF protein, but II also CON
tains fat and mineral salts. When
combined with bread, which is a carbo-
hydrate food, cheese makes an ideal
combination. supplying as II does all
the elements necessary for nourlsh-
ment-proteln, fat, carbohydrate and
mineral salts.
Cheese and bread Is n very popular
form OF food In England and II is
eaten by all classes. Being an eco.
nomical food, It Is eaten TO n larger
extent by the laborlpg classes. who,
owing to the sort OF work they do, re-
quire a good tissue builder at a mod.
crate price.
1t Is well to remember that part OF
the health of the English race is due
to the fact that the English life is an
outdoor life, and II Is a very good
thing for us to profit by this and cul-
tivate at all times, In ourselves and in
our children, the habit OF getting out
doors as much as possible.

LIES FAR BELOW SEA LEVEL
Forbidding Death Valley, in California,
Was Formerly the Bed Of
Salt Lake.

Death valley. California, is said "a
he the lowest dry land in the United
States; II is 2T6 feet below sea level
The name Of Death valley is gruesome
enough In Itself. but 10 enhance this
effect the mountains thereabouts are
called the Funeral range.
While Death valley is the lowest
dry land in the country Mount Whit
ney, which Is less than eighty miles
from the point Of lowest depression, is
one Of the highest points OF land In
the United States, It's summit being
14,5Ol feet above sea level.
Death valley was formerly the bed
OF a salt lake and is 100 miles in
length. A small salt marsh still oc-
cupies a part Of II. There are few
places In Death valley where fresh wa
ter Is obtainable. The best known are
Bennett wells and Saratoga springs.
For the greater part OF the time
Death valley Is gigantic furnace OF
burning hot shifting sand dunes. At
times this strange desert is filed with
wonderful colors. The air is very dry,
and at dawn the light is very white
and minus the mist usually associated
with that time Of day. Gradually
faint azure tint appears and deepens
above the gray-tan dunes. AS the sun
rises over the desert the pastel tlnts
of' sky and sands burn into brighter
shades until at noon the very atmos.
phere vibrates into hot vividness.
Toward twilight the reds Of sky and
desert shade into deep puppies and
black.

Where Loot" Originated.

The word loot" came into the Eng.
llsh language by way OF India. and is
supposed to be derived from the San.
scrlt "lotra," signlfylng booty. orlgi.
nally all booty taken from the enemy
IN war pertained TO the crown OF the
victorious nation. the title thereto be-
Ing regarded as lndlsputable. The
crown was supposed to dispose OF
these spolls Of war according TO its
pleasure, bearing in mind the services
Of the captors Of the matter. This
was. indeed, the basis of prize law at
sea. But at every international con.
gress at which the laws Of war and OF
mutual relations came under discus.
sion 1t was agreed to exempt from
seizure private property on land and
to restrict confscation to the national
property Of the foe.

A foolish consistency is the hobgob-
lin Of little minds, adored by little
statesmen and philosophers and divines.
With consistency a great soul has sim
ply nothing to do. He may as well
concern himself with his shadow on
the wall. Speak what you think today,
in words as hard as cannon balls, and
tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks,
In hard words again, though It contra
diet everything you said today. All,
then, exclaim the aged ladies'. you viii

great is to be lnIsunderstood.- d.--Ralph
