have a very moderate quantity of
water at each meal and equally care

This water drinking between meals

working and sip 1t very, very slowly
you can. easily take a quart a day be-

this without distending the muscles

The diet itself might be chosen
from such foods as you have found
TO be most easily digested. / prefer
not TO give special diet list in your
case, since there may be complica-
tions of which I am not aware.
The portions of food eaten should
be very moderate in size and four
small meals a day may be better for
you than three more hearty ones
In general, of course, the foods
should be as nourishing as possible;

I am SO years old and the mother

this: VIII you please suggest the
'oods that would be best in my case?
I think / may be able to build my
self up by careful diet. Thank you
FOR any suggestions you may make
NJ. ".
Your question about building-up
diet is difficult TO answer from Il dis
tance. because of the fact that there
may be some condition which should
have a special diet This only your
physician or some one near you could
determine.
am very glad to give you some
notes, however, on foods that will
help in building you up If you will
remember that these are all subject
70 whatever your physician may say.
Unless there is some reason against
It, the following list Of foods will be
very good for you: Milk, cream, but
termilk, cottage cheese, all unground
meal, brown rice, shredded wheat:
gluten bread and graham bread,
orange juice, lemon juice, tomato juice,
eggs, particularly the yolks; raisins.
dates, figs, fresh strawberries in sea-
son, malt honey and fresh butter.
You will understand that this is
merely a suggestive diet list The
meals must be planned so as to have
the size of portions, etc, determined
according to your physical condition
at the present time.
AS you have helped so many read
ers, be so kind as to try and help me
by sending a list of nourishing and
laxative foods for one who has q
fallen abdomen. So many foods cause

almost afraid to eat. although greatly

asking your advice on a proper diet
and trust you will have few spare
moments for one who will greatly ap-
preciate your help.-M. E. NJ
The trouble of which you speak
usually comes from a weakened mus
cular system, and there are no spe-
cial foods that in themselves will
help you. A carefully planned diet of
easily digested food, however. one
that will not distend the abdomen
mechanically, will be perhaps Of
service.
In planning such a diet you will
have one difficulty from the Begin
