Sixty A Day.

"I don't care a straw how many meals a man cats daily," said Dr. Grant Ramsay, principal of the In- stitute of Hygiene. "I knew a Frenchnian who took 60 meals a day. They were very small, and the Frenchman declared that that was the natural way to live, as most animals pecked at food all day. knew an Australian who went to the other extreme. He ate one meal every two days, arguing that the lion took its fill and lasted on it for from two to three days. Both these men were strong and healthy.

"It isn't a question of the num- ber of meals--it's the class of food and regularity in eating it that are important."

Adam's Excuse.

Several recent police-court cases have shown us fond husbands pleading, in extenuation of petty crimes, that they did it for the sake of their wives.

For their wives they wanted money, or bicuses, or hats, never for themselves. An old story, the oldest in recorded human of domestic annals!

Yet few women in these days have the persuasive powers of Lady Macbeth.

In truth, Adam's ancient excuse is unpopular with the public fro to speak only of magistrates) in these days of sex equality.

One has greater sympathy with the husband who takes his failings upon himself and attributes his success to his wife.
