HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Proper Clothing. The prcsouce of clothing stimu lates by friction the circulation mid If of 1 ii oi’.ductlitg mate rial keeps the skin at a normal temiieratmv and the blood from being driven from the surface of the body to the vital organs, thus preventing Inllammatious. con gestions, kidney troubles and va rious other ills dependent upon the action of the blood and Its vessels. A human bo Iv exposed to cool air soon begins to 1 >so Its bent by three different ptoc esses viz. liy radiation, by evap oration of surface moisture and by conduction. The natural heat of the body Is necessary to life and must be maintained. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Hurried Eating and Constipation. Hurried eating is a common contributing cause of constipa tion as well as other Ills. When the food Is not properly masti cated more energy is required In the upper part of the alimentary canal to reduce It to the condi Hon necessary for complete di gestion, and In eases ill which the vitality is depleted this may so seriously cripple the activity of the lower part of the alimen tary canal as to contribute large ly to the atonic condition, which is a large factor In such cases. When the food is not fully mas ticated It is. held back in the small intestine as well as in the stomach, and this also has a ten dency to establish a sluggish ac tion. which contributes to the condition favorable to conatlpa tion. While thorough mastlca tion will not cure those cases which may he largely due to bad mental condition, excessive mix ing of food, lack of exercise, overwork, too concentrated food or some physical defect of (lie Intestine, it is an important fac tor. an more careful mastica tion "T ontributo to improve ment in II cases. | HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. How to Resist a Cold. One way to overcome chilly sensations of (lie spine and hack on the least change of tempera ture is to put your hack up, so to speak, to contract the muscles of tiie hack. If you are getting chilly about the bui a <>f the neck stiffen ttn r neck and set the muscles lo work. When you are sitting still and find yourself getting chilly set the muscles to work and you will soon get over it. If you ilo not start your muscles going you will soon find them going of their own accord. Von will be gin to shiver—an involuntary ac tion of the muscles. If you will set your muscles at work before that shivering conies you will be a tile to prevent it. Contract your hands, your legs, the muscles of your back, raise up your chest stiffen your neck, then turn it vigorously, slowly, from side to side or bend it backward aud forward. This will keep you from taking cold. One need never take cold when sitting still. You can make your muscles work just as hard when sitting down as when walking about, and it may be more con venient. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Carbolic Acid For Burns. Three cases have come to light recently in which pure carbolic acid was applied to burns, caus ing immediate cessation of pain, with a subsequent cessation of inflammation. The corroded skin came off in a few days, leaving anew skin and causing abso lutely no inconvenience or trou ble, not even a scar or contrac tion of muscle. In one ease the burn was very extensive, cover ing entire head, face, neck and hands, and in this case a hypo dermic injection of morphia was given. The patient recovered without a single scar, although there was sionghlng on the end of the nose and rim of the ears.

A student asks advice as to the value of entire wheat bread and olive oil as a complete ra tion for one doing strenuous study. Wheat contains all the elements of nutrition in nearly perfect proportion for the aduit, except fat, which would be sup plied by the oil, a pound and a half of bread and two ounces of olive oil being sufficient for one doing average physical and men tal work. It la generally under stood that entire cereal bread anti butter constitute a perfect ration, and fresh olive oil ia not Inferior to butter, hut there Is an objection to the mining of fat with starches and prctelda from the fact that it prevents the access of the digestive juices In mouth and stomach, so the ration Is not Improved by adding olive oil, although In the easo mentioned the existence of constipation makes the use of olive nil beneficial, but It should be taken separately for the best results. It has been repeat edly demonstrated that a bet ter balanced ration Is supplied by wheat or corn than in the ordinary random diet, so that one who wishes to adopt such a diet, for health, efficiency or economy—and these are Inti mately associated—need not hes itate to do so, with the assur ance of Improvement In every respect. Of course, the bread should not be fresh, and It should be thoroughly masti cated. (Copyrljgbt, 1911, by Joseph B Bowles.) DIET AND HEALTH HINTS By DR. T. J. ALLEN Food Specialist MONO DIET AND DIGESTION. Frofesscr Goodfellow, the well-known English authority on bread, says that when milk Is eaten with bread, the digestion of the bread is 10 per cent, less complete. This would naturally follow from the principles cf the moncdlet already explained. There are few better combina tions than bread and milk, but no combination is perfect. Dr. Porter and others who have had much experience with the milk diet insist that for the best re sults nothing rr.ust be taken with the milk. Those foods should be combined which arc most compatible. Passing. “God love the world,” he breathed, tad the flesh sank from him.
