1t is Quite essential that workers Of
every kind have rest periods, In ordes
that they may keep In condition to
give the maximum of service. Women
workers out in the work day world
have at least the Sabbath day for
rest and work on a schedule of the
hour-day, with noon hour period
of rest The house-keeper has no such
fixed scheme for her work, but Is on
her job from early morn till the
household retires.
It would be more ideal If the woman
worker like the man could drop all
the cares Of the home as he does of
shop and office and flee far away,
even from the scene of operation.
but as most homes contain children
and they are assets that one cannot
drop and travel with them gives the
mother little chance to enjoy the full
benefits of a trip. Mothers, then, must
of necessity take their vacations at

FOOD IN IT'S RELATION TO
HEALTH.

1t is the greatest mistake in life
to eat fast. Mastication performed in
haste must of necessity be imperfect
even with the best of teeth and due
admiXture of the salivary secretions
and food cannot take place in such
a short time. When a mass of un-
chewed, unadequately crushed mus
cular fibre. or Undivided solid material
of any nature is thrown into the
stomach, it acts as a mechanical ir-
ritant and sets up a condition in the
muscous lining of the stomach which
greatly impedes if it does not a.
together stop digestion. Thus after
given period of time when the prac-
tice of eating quickly and filling the
stomach with unprepared food be-
comes habitual. The digestive organs
become incapable Of performing its
proper functions. 1t is not wise to
eat unless one Is hungry. No food
should be taken unless there is real,
natural hungor 1t is far better to
miss a meal han to eat without an
appetite. Eating from habit simply
because it is meal time and others
are eating is one of the main causes
of chronic indigetion. To eat when
not hungry is o. eat with out relish
and food taken without relish or an
appetite is worse than wasted. Hun
ger makes the plalnest of food en-.
joyable. 1t causes vigorous secre-
ton and out pouring of all the diges-
tive fluids, plyalin, pepsin, taypsineh

CONSTRUCTIVE CHARITY.

The fact nearly every Grand
Lodge in the State of Texas has con.
tributed substantially to the Dickson
0rphanage is TO us an indication OF
their growing feeling of response
bility for the less fortunate among
us.
The Grand Lodge Of odd Fellows
has eclipsed the others in giving
substantial expression to their char
liable impulse in this direction.
Il passed resolution adopting
the orphanage at Gilmer as its own
and pledging to It .all orphans Of Odd
Fellows OF the State of Texas, and
an annual contribution from the pro-
ceeds Of Thanksgiving day in all OF
the lodges Of the Jurisdiction.
Such an action is worthy of high
commendation.
Negro orphans of the State Of
Texas should be more nearly cared
for by the Negroes Of Texas than
they are. They should be consider
er OUR responsibility and they should
be Our care.
tll Negro organizations of the
State could well emulate the ex-
ample of the odd Fellows, Pythians,
Taborians and Masons and regularly
consider the needs of Negro orphans
in their yearly devotion to charity.
