serve power. That is, in the course of few months of better balanced diet, especially if the improved diet is supplemented with additional vitamin rations for a few months, they find they do not become ex- hausted so easily, for they are build ing up new reserve power, in the heart and in the general metabol- ism; they are building up natural immunity; they are rejuvenating; in short they are recovering vite.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Hold Your Bets
 To settle a bet please state how long person can live without food and without water. (R. T)
 Ans.-Succi, professional faster, several times lived thirty days with out food. Dr. Tanner lived 40 days without food. Perlatti, in Paris, lived 50 days without food. How long person could live without wa ter would depend on conditions, but probably not over five days in any case.
 Galvanic Sore Mouth
 w. B. C., your correspondent, evil dently forgot his high school physics when he said there is no possibility of galvanic action unless the disi- similar metals in the mouth are in actual contact. If he never studied physics he ought to know that his automobile battery functions as long as the plates observe the conven- tinalities, but fails if they go into clinch. (W. B. W.
 Ans.-The debate is now closed. Signor Galvani was right. The dis similar metals need not be in actual ! contact in the mouth to set up burn ing or erosive action, a galvanic cur rent, which may cause obstinate or recurring sores on tongue, gum or cheek. Only remedy in such cases is removal of the inferior or less i'm portant denture or filings and re- placement with metal similar to that of the remaining dentures. Slowing
 Is health benefited by sitting in the steam room before or after bath ing? (S. R.)
 Ans.-No harm in 1t if you enjoy, it, but such passive sweating is gen. orally less beneficial than active Sweating-that is, work, play or ex- ercise sufficient to induce sweating, if you are not physically incapaci- tated.

RESERVE POWER

As 1t may be quite a while until Webster publishes a new edition, we had better define the term vite which is pronounced as it is spelled and is coined word, not a carry over of the French word vite (pro- nounced veet) which is a musical direction meaning lively, quickly Our readers collaborated in the coining of the word, and here is what 1t connotes:
 Preservation of the characteris-
 tics of youth, better than average
 nutritional condition as mani-
 fested in lower death-rates, better
 growth and development, exten- sion of the prime of life in both directions, material improvement Of the life expectation of adults, higher average level of positive health throughout the life cycle, greater pep, more vitality, the highest degree of natural immu- nity, an adequate fund of reserve power to tide over emergencies and strains, the resiliency of the untamed animal or the primitive savage.
 Just in case there may be any im- portant feature missing from the definition, such as fitness, buoyant health, vivacity, 1t, vigor, charm or what would you have, stick 'em in there and vite will still cover every thing.
 An adequate fund of reserve power to tide over emergencies and strains. It is astonishing how manymen and women, who consider themselves fairly well or at any rate not in im- mediate need of medical attention, find that they have no reserve power to tide over everyday emer- gencies and strains, physical or emo- tional. The truth Is that they are just getting by, worrying along on the ragged edge, with rather lower than average nutritional condition, in short they lack viet.
 Unfortunately the art of diagnosis has not yet reached ideal develop ment which would enable the phy- sician to determine the individuals nutritional condition, that is, how many points below par the individ- ual may be, if we assume that in one with vite from 90 to 100 is par. But we know that today the majority of adults and youths too who do not purport to be actually ailing never 'thless belong in the 75 to 80 per cent class so far as vite or positive health is concerned. Incidentally It is because so few of these border flanders voluntarily seek medical ad- vice that physicians are less skilled In diagnosii.g borderland health im- pairments than they are in diagnos- ing the eventual functional or or- ganic diseases which ultimately bring many of these eighty per- centers to consulting-room, clinic or hospital.
 People who are just below par, low In vite, but with nothing in particu- lar the matter as yet, may gauge the effect of correction of faulty nu- triton by the gradual gain in re-

 By nine or ten weeks, if he is strong, he can look right around at things when he's held up. My what a funny, big world," he coos. He loves this vantage point because he feels higher and be- sides he can see things from up instead of from down.
 He takes in his first impressions of people and everything else with his eyes. It is largely why he loves to be lifted and carried around. A little won't hurt him a bit.
 Next, he tries to do 1t himself. He wants to sit up, long before his back muscles are ready. He will be able to sit up for very short periods against your body al three months. But this should be recognized as an effort, not an ac. complishment.

 When he is six months old, hell sit alone. Maybe before or after but that's the standard. He will still need some propping, and still needs succor after few minutes but he is whopping 1t up just the same.

 A. It is @ small Indian song bird often caged and kept for fighting. The female is olive brown; and the male, in summer, is largely crimson. The birds are cheap and fairly easy to keep in confinement; but care should be exercised to keep them out of draughts. They can be fed white millet, canary and grass seed. A teaspoon of hard-boiled egg put through a strainer and mixed with crackers, or cake and bread crumbs, may be fed weekly for variety. Ant eggs and grated carrot are also rec commended. ....

WASHINGTON. ~ The obvious
fact, to any newspaper man conscl-
entiously canvassing the senate,
that no treaty providing for st.
Lawrence seaway can possibly win
the two-thirds majority necessary to
ratification, creates continued spec
ulation among those familiar with
the senate situation as to why Pres
ident Roosevelt is pushing negotia-
tons looking to such treaty now.
The President was asked forth
right and avoided an answer. Re-
plying to an inquiry by Mrs. Eliza
beth May Craig, who represents a
string of newspapers in Maine, the
President first thought it was left
handed effort to gain some light as
to his plans for a third term. Then
he assumed that Mrs. Craig wanted
to know why he had not started the
fight sooner.
What most Of the correspondents,
not to mention nearly all the sena-
tors, would like to know is why he
is pushing a fight which be must
know will wind up-if 1t ever reaches
the senate at all--in a crushing
defeat.
Last time, in March, 1884, the
