Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

VXTHAT the old man drinks is Just as important
w as what he eats.
Meals for the aged should be kept rather dry to
avoid the accumulation of gas in the stomach and
in the bowels. Thirst can be satisfied by drinking
more fluids between meals
One specialist suggests that the best beverage for
the aged is small cup of tea for breakfast and that
at luncheon or at dinner small amount of an alco-
holc stimulant may be taken to aid the digestion
He mentions the use of glass of sherry or table
spoonful Of whisky in one-haf of a tumber of
water.
For those who opposed to alcohol or dislike it,
he suggests one-half glassful of hot water slipped
slowly at the end Of the meal
ME diet of the aged, I have already men,
Il toned, should be small in amount The food
should be such be easily cheWed and small
amounts Of food should be taken frequently rather
than over-burdening the stomach with large
amounts
The following is advised as a sample diet for the
aged:
Breakfast-Dry toast about IL ounces with
butter lightly cooked egg or a little white fish A
teacupful of tea or coffee with little milk or cream
sweetened, if desired.
Midday Meal-This should be the chief meal of
the day. Two courses only, fish and meat fish and
a sweet or meat and sweet. Fish should be boiled
or steamed-not fried. The sweets. permissible are
plain milk pudding baked custard junket or stewed
fruit. little mashed potato boiled rice is al
lowed, but no vegetable except spinach caulifoWer
tops.
Tea-One cupful of weak tea with milk or cream
and sugar, if desired. No solid food
Evening Meal-Nfust always be light meal
May consist of white fish boiled and potato. or
toast and butter, or bread and milk or a lightly
cooked egg
Bedtime-A small cup of soup one-half slice Of
toast matted milk or a small amount of an alco-
holic stimulant.

Almost every trade should thus
tend to prosper, but their actual
profits may largely depend upon
the extent and rigor OF their par
ticular codes.
If, by a continuance Of codes,
most wages are made to rise par
allel with prices, the industries to
choose will be those like cinemas
and tobaccos, which cater for an
enriched wage-earning class, but
which only have a small wage cost
themselves. Such industries, how
ever, may be subjected to especial
taxes; beware of them shortly be-
fore annual budgets.
Excess profit duties probably
will be levied after the boom has
begun, so as rapidly to balance the
budget and retire government
debt. The industries to suffer

cent from 81 to 112, and seeing
"a that the market apparently
is we'll sold out.
Increasing volume on any new
fall would, however, have unfavor-
able significance, for it would sug-
gest that the market was not yet
sold out, and that it was not yet
technically healthy. Increasing
volume on a rise would, however,
be a favorable indication.
If, by means of progressive
credit imitation, Mr.. Roosevelt is
about to cause prices and business
to rise, the investor will wish to
know which securities to avoid
and which securities particularly
to favor. This of course depends
very largely on their prices, but
the following economic factors
should be pondered.
Since the relation is being
effected by widening the basis of
credit and expanding bank de-
posits, instead of by simple note
printing, money will probably not
begin to become dear until prices
and trade and profits have risen
to such an extent that Roosevelt
himself decides to put on the
authorization brake.
In the meantime money will
continue abnormally cheap-the
yield on first-class bonds is now
only 2.80 per cent-and building
boom will doubtless mature. This
revival in the building industry
will by it's repercussions of de-
mand make industries more pros
porous. They, too, will tend to
expand and enlarge their plants.
The heavy CONSTITUTIONAL indus
tries will eventually benefit.
THEAP money and better trade
~ will, moreover, cause all
shares to rise; capitalists in gen.
eral will feel richer on paper.
More will be spent by them in the
luxury industries; cars, cinemas,
hotels, entertainments, scent, Pull
man cars and luxury liners will
benefit.
Railway traffic will improve
rapidly; but railway equipment
shares probably will benefit even
faster than the rails, because of
deferred replacement demand in
addition to the normal.
More correspondence will be
written; more messages will be
sent; telephone and paper making
companies will benefit.
