FOOD AND HEALTH

The dietary treatment of gastric I'LL

nor vet in two. 1t is a case. or long,
slow, patient climbing up the hill of
health. Moreover, because of the ne
| ceSsity for daily observation or the
patient, 40 general directions can be
given as a blanket cure for every one.
The diet should be made up from
the following foods: Strained soups
Of asparagus, corn, rice, potato, peas,
beans and lentils. And strained vege-
table pulp, of about the consistency
of mashed potato, from asparagus.
spinach. carrots, celery, eggplant,
peas and beetS. Rice, wheat and corn
and other fine grained cereals. Crispy
toasted breads, matted milk, matted
| nuts, banana pulp, PURGE of dates,
sweet apple, alligator pear; frozen
puddingS, custards without sWeeten-
ing, jellies, olive Oil, cream, soft eggs,
cottage cheese. with bran and agar
when required to control.
When arranging a set Of daily
menus from this list, one may go
about it in this wise:
Breakfast, four or five ounces of
! oatmeal with cream, 2i4 ounces.
Three ounces of a fruit PURGE, a
| poached egg and two slices of graham
bread toasted.
Dinner: One fourth ounce of olive
! oil, or ounces of a cream of vege
table soup. a baked potato with
3 ounces of each of two vegetables,
| ma shed and strained to "a pulp. Two
slices Of toasted bran bread, with a
half ounce Of butter and a fruit des
Sert, such as baked sweet apple.
For supper 1t Is advisable to begin
with another quarter ounce of olive
oil. Then come a plate of porridge
from gluten -four, about 51a ounces:
Two ounces of another fruit puree,
| from dates if the one served at dinner
has been of banana, > ounces of
cream or cottage cheese, 3 ounces of
! unsweetened berries in season and
two slices of whole wheat toast served
with Il half-ounce of butter.
| Such a diet affords approximately
| 1000 calories Of energy. IT is rich in
| lime and iron, gives adequate pro-
TEN, fat and starch, and is, i'll short,
! well balanced
When liberation OF the upper in

the colon, the procedure in directly

Dentifrice.

Would You Run Away?

Do You run away from danger be-
cause you are afraid, or are you afraid
because you run away? Suppose you
were walking through a patch of
woods when suddenly. directly in your
path, you saw a big bear. Just
imagine such a situation! Here you
are without a gun or weapon of any
kind and the big bear staring you in
the eye!
Now there are two theories which
explain your actions in such u mat
ter. Until a few years ago, when two
famous scientists made certain dis
coreries. it was held that what &C.
CURED in your body was about as fol-
lows: You see a bear. You become
afraid and run away or else you feel
brave and stand there attempting to
tight it off. This was the old idea
concerning fear. The new theory,
however is different. 1t maintains
that your reactions work this way:
You see bear. You run away first
and as you run you are terribly afraid
Or else you first stand and fight the
bear. and afterward there comes over
you a feeling of great bravery.
You could hear his knees knock 4"

ly feel weak at the knees when in

There is a sort of pupil that always

wrong with that sort of child.

Unfortunately il is unusually diff
cult to get track of it in the Middle
Ages. but from known data, consid-
cred in the light of linguistic develop
ment. the following explanations pre-
sent themselves.
AS a German family name it may
be considered the development of
nickname indicating a personal char
acteristic, from "eber," u boar" and
meaning "boarlike.' figuratiyely
fierce" or bold" Or it may have
this characteristic.
AS Welsh or Cornish British it
would be the development of "aberlee. :"
indicating a marshy place where two
or three streams come together.
The Gaelic equivalent for this would
be "eabar," and the name, developing
in the section where highlands and
lowlands of Scotland fuse, might be
due to unconscious redundancy. Those
speaking English coming across the
locality known a. "Eabar" might CON
ceiyably add their own descriptive
word lea to it. not knowing that
the meaning of the two words were
virtually the same.
AS an English family name it may
be development of a Saxon given
name of u similar meaning to the
