AS there were many more ships with

1t had been proved that the fire was

Though we both felt rather anxious
at the sight Of the fury Of the sea,

Immediately made the nurse lie down
and dashed the babys basket fast, so
that 1t could not upset In case we were
tossed about severely.
Suddenly I heard terrible crash as
the ship was thrown against something
in such a way that l fell on the floor
and the poor little baby rolled into the
corner Of the basket. face downward,
and began to cry.

There are many varieties of them,

consists in leaving out altogether
some particular class of foods, or even
limiting himself to one class. These
people are filled with the burning zeal

suffering with severe disturbances
can be relieved of their symptoms by
eating fresh meat. milk. vegetables,
fruit and bread. In this disease the
effects on the skin are also very
noticeable.
What all these facts teach us is
that, without question, the best diet
suited for most Of US is Il varied one.
For the present we must assume that

results in the nourishment of the

ONLY recently have successful at
ternpts been made to trace the
exact relationship between internal
disturbances caused by diet and their
effect ON the skin. There are many
things which affect the skin that,
with our limited knowledge, it is rare
ly possible to trace exactly the effect
OF each. First of all comes age. The
most casual observer can see the diff
ference between the skin of the baby,
the young person, the mature person
and the old. There are also the diff
ferenceS que TO sex, differences that
do not appear until the development
OF the sex organs at adolescence. The
skin of some races il also quite diff
ferent from that of others In many
more ways than color.

or another that it can almost be said
that every one has a skin of his own.
Indeed, the skin corresponds to the
condition of the body and is the mir
ror for all the changes that take place
In the body"
In some diseases, not due to diet,
there are typical appearances of the
skin. The delicately colored trans
parent skin Of the consumptive is well
known, has. been painted by artists
and praised by poets La Belle

cannot be cured by diet, but, in It's
worst forms, it is frequently accom-
panied by starchy indigestion. The
cutting down of starchy foods often
helps, while too much sugar makes
the control of acne more difficult. AL
most any girl who has controlled her
diet for q time and then succumbed
to the temptation of a box of choco-
lates can testify to the unfavorabla
result.
The bad, postu1a cases Of acne,
which persist beyond adolescence,
which are disfiguring and hard to
manage, and are almost uninfiuenced
by any and all attempted treatments,
are most frequently seen in thin. weak.
undernourished persons who cannot
be made to take on weight. In these
patients there are frequently mem
strual disturbances, but often there
are probably other obscure constitu-
tional defects which we have not yet
discovered.
Some articles of food have long been
known to aggravate infiammations on
the skin. Alcohol, tea, coffee and
highly spiced foods are the chief
offenders. What their action is we
do not know, but in eczema and SINH
lar diseases, which are attended by
Inflammation and itching, leaving
these foods out of the diet is u neces-
sary part Of the treatment. The same
fact is true, to certain extent, of Il
