THE SCIENCE OF LIVING

Eat and How to As
dmilate
Dr G6org4fVButler medical super-
intendent ot the Alma Springs Sani-
tarium Almn UEfcWu tho October
number ot How to Live gives somo
interesting as well as sensible rules
for acquiring and keeping health Ho
says Without we eat and drink wo
die Tho provocative to do both re3ta
with tho appetite which in process
of tlmo becomes a very uncertain
guide for the palate will often lnduco
a deslro and rellsh for that which In-
most mlschlevou and lndlgestlole
Tho old sayltupot oat what you like
is now shunjSsjf bjf everybody of 20
J ears exn ragje Still without appe-
tite It 1343difficult affair to sub
Elst forr kA jSeasuro depends chiefly
upon thojellsh Tho relish may be-
come as has bpenrijtat ed a vitiated
one but TCT3nut t5posslblo to mako
tho stomach by a little forbearance
nnd practice as enamored of what la
wholesome andi njit rltlous as of that
which Is hUrtfuand not concoctlble
Again he says The delicate
should food carefully not abundantly
It Is not quantity which nourishes
but only that which assimilates
Be careful of your digestion is
tho koynoto ot the doctors argument
Ho says Health In man as in 6ther
animals depends upon tho proper per-
formance of all functions These
functions may be shortly said to ba
three 1 tissue change 2 re-
moval of waste 3 supply ot new
material For tho activity of man-
like the heat ot tho fire by which
he cooks his food is maintained by
combustion and Just as tho Are may
bo prevented from burning brightly
by Improper disposition of tho fuel
or Imperfect supply of air and as It
will certainly go out If fresh fuel Is
not supplied and may bo choked by
Its own ashes so mans activity may
bo lessened by imperfect tissuo chango
and may bo put an end to by an In-
sufficient supply of new material and
imperfect removal of waste products
Wo Bhould seo to it that freo elim-
ination is maintained for tho ashes
mu3t bo kept out of tho system in or-
der to hae good health The skin
kidneys and bowols m 1st do their
otlmlnatlvo work properly If tho
bowels occasionally become torpid try
to regulate them with exercise and
proper food such aa fruits green
