Red noses, spotty and stock a large supply of Building Materials, muddy complexions, and various other outward symptoms testify to the inward disorder. Of course, indigestion as EL chronic ailment is a matter for a medical man, but I cannot help thinking that a little more rogard to facts about simple and digestible food would help many of us to avoid some uncomfortable experiences. I can only touch on the matter of diet in the purest elementary manner, but oven so, such hints as I can give may be useful.. As a rule, far too much meat is taken, especially by those leading sedentary lives. In such cases it should only be taken once a day instead of being served at all three principal moale. Wholemeal bread is a nutritious subsitute for white; coffee, -occasionally, is a wholesome change from the eternal tea butter is a much moro valuable article of food than most people suppose especially for thin, nervous people, who are inclined to be neuratie. Some sort of fruit, taken on awakening in the morning, such as apples, pears, oranges. 2, forms an excellent substitute for that pernicious cup of early tea to which so many doctors are sworn enemies.

For myself I always think Picnic parties and for Towing purposes. that great benefit would be derived by sufferers from indigestion if they abolished soup from the menu altogether, and if vegetable entrees replaced, their perpe tual meat side dishes. Fish as a rule is digestible, that which is boiled being Zar more so than that which is fried,
but shelfish although very delicious and often eaten with impunity, is apt to turn and rend nd at unexpected times. By
those who have much brain work and ex- cessive fatigue the value of milk is often underestimated, and those who cannot, or think they cannot, digest it can assimilato it easily by making it very hot and adding a pinch of ealt. Last, but not least, water is an ideal drink and plenty of it. I am sure that if some of the fore going suggest- ions were adopted there would be more transparent complexions, whiter noses. clearer eyes, and, perhaps, better tempers.
