THE FOOD QUESTION.

One of the winemeres in the father of Parliaments has hat a brain ware. "The food question", he says, "will be won's for the next ton years." Anybody could have told him that! The food question is, always acute-to some people! There are uncounted thousands- heaven help ther who can't get enough food. There are shoals of people who for year have had to put up with food they wouldn't have looked at, once upon a time. And some people, who can get food, wholesome food, can't Het any real benefit out of it. Why? Perhaps unnatural excitements of the last few years have played havoc with our digestive systems.

After all, the digestive system isn't cast iron. Reaily, it is of a delicate, complex character, all too liable to become a little deranged, perhaps through some apparently triffing cause. Many a man or woman will feel well, to-day. Then, to-morrow, up goes the temperature few degrees, and that same mat is soon con- scions of lost appetite and decreased vigour.
