MODERN MISERS. Men Who Starve Themselves to Accumulate Money. There is a certain fearful fascination about the stone* of the misers of the post The money they accumulated was of no more practical value to them than the trinkets stolen aud secreted by some magpie or jackdaw They bid it from the sight and use of tnen and in silence and secret gloated over the useless wealth. To gs’.bct it they lived on crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover them and tire to warm them, lived starved lives and in not a few cases died of starvation. That was the old time miser The modem miser resembles this man of the tiast in the particular that he frequently dies of starvation. In his eagctucM to gather money lie X)) 111 111 I Xd|g|J i pavs small heed to the claims of health. He cats anything, anyhow, auywhen, ind anywhere. He doesn't eat Arista bv anv means nor spare his purse to fill his stomach. The mistake he make* is in thinking that when a man has filled his stomach, that is the end of the busi ness of feeding. Instead of Ixnng the nd of feeding“it’s onlv the beginning. There is no value in food unless it is digested, converted into nutrition and assimilated. These processes depend upon the liealthfulness of the stomach ind the other organs of digestion and nutrition When these organs are dis ased they cannot extract the nutrition roni the food received into the stomach ■ml the body lieconies weak through iack of nourishment. One day tins 'weakness” begins to find a special de velopment in some chief organ, heart, liver, lung*, kidneys, etc., to which the man succumbs. The doctor’s certificate reads "heart disease,’’ "kidney disease,” vs the case may be. But the real reading of the certificate should be: STARVEtI TO DEATH. The truth of this statement is appar ent. The bodv i* sustained by food digested and assimilated. But the body is made up of its part* and organs, and when the stomach is " weak," digestion imperfect, and the nutrition extracted from food inadequate to the needs of the body, the result 1* shared by every port and organ of the body. For this reason ao man is stronger than his stomach, and no organ sustained by the stomach can be stronger tlian the stiwnoch. Therefore when we hear of * weak ** stomach we are pretty sure we are going to hear in time of " weak " heart, " weak" lung*, "weak "Sidneys, or weakness of some other organ of the body dependent on the stomach and its associated organs of digestion and nutrition.
