Carbohydrates, Carbohydrates, which consist of starches and sugar,'are needed for heat and 1 energy. Fats are needed for energy, and lubrication. lubrication. Mineral salts are necessary for regulating the body processes. Water , is necessary for"the blood stream and the elimination of the waste. The necessity for each of these food elements in our daily diet will rpadily be seen when it is understood that if a person eats a large amount of the food containing an overabundance of protein the excess will not be retained in the body, but only the ampunt that is needed and actually necessary for the body. The excess is eliminated, and frequently overtaxes the liver and kidneys, whereas if too little protein is provided the body will lose Weight and the person will become anemic. Carbohydrates, which are starches and sugars, come chiefly from vegetables, vegetables, and if they are supplied to the body in larger amount than the body requires for its daily use they are -stored in the form of fat. _ Fats, while they furnish heat, energy energy and lubrication, should be eaten very sparingly during the hot weather. Mineral salts are necessary for the teeth and bone structure. For this reason reason they are provided Tor in the proper proper amounts in a well-balanced diet. The necessary for water can-best be understood by the statement that it comprises nearly three-fifths of the weight of the body, it is an active Combustibles, participant in the blood stream and also regulates the temperature of the body. ■ /* Age, condition and occupation play a very important part in the amount of food that must be supplied for combustion combustion . The young and growing child will need the largest amount of food. Persons at heavy outdoor occupations occupations will need a greater amount of food than those people whose dutiqs entail , less physical exertion. The middle-aged and elderly person requires requires less food than the people of the above-mentioned type. ' ' v The average ,adult will require daily from 2600 to 8000 calories or heat units of food. A calorie is a term used in food chemistry to designate the amount of heat necessary to raise one pound of water four degrees Fahrenheit. One-tenth of the total amount of food required by the human body for daily -consumption .should be protein. FoSTl required by the body is burned; burned; i. e., united with oxygen. That this may be accomplished, the food, by the process, of digestion, is render ed entirely soluble. It is then, in this soluble form, absorbed by the intestines. intestines. The blood also carries oxygen, which we breathe from the air; this is car ried tiy the blood to all parts of the body. That the processes of the body may be satisfactorily accomplished, it is necessary that the adult drixfi^ three pints or six glasses of water each day.

Select young, tender ears of corn, husk and remove the silk from the ear by brushing with a wisp broom. Plunge into boiling water and cook for six minutes. Now dip into cold water at once. With a sharp knife cut the corn from the cob. Using the back of the knife, press the milk from the cob. Pack at once into sterilized jars, have a fork to assist with the filling. Fill only to the neck of the jar with the corn. Care must be used so that the corn is not packed tightly in the jar. Now fill it to overflowing with boil- 1 ing salt water . Place the rubber and lid in position and partly tighten; process in hot-water bath for three and a half hours after the boiling starts. Remember that peas, beans, corn and asparagus are vegetables that ; must be worked up very carefully, owing owing to the fact that' the proteins of these foods will turn sour and start fermenting under certain conditions. This causes the flat, sour taste that occurs frequently and is called lactic acid ferment. So, to have success with canning corn, the work must be done in a quick and thorough way. The kitchen should be kept as cool as possible. The corn should be stored in a place where it will not become heated while waitijtg ■far the canning process. When starting to blanch, place The corn in a piece of clean muslin or cheesecloth and plunge into boiling water. Cook for six minutes after, the boiling starts and then remove and plunge into cold water. Cut the corn from the *cob at once. Pack into jars as soon as a sufficient amount of com is cut. Finish each jar separately, separately, placing it at once into the prepared water bath. Pint jars are best for corn, peas and beans. Usually tour ears will fill a pint jar if they are a good size, so that when blanching if this amount of corn - is placed in the cloth at one time, there need be no delay in filling the jars. After processing, remove them at once from the bath and fasten the lid securely. Invert to test for leaks. Remove the jars to a cool room, free from draughts, to let them cool. Label and date them, then store them in a cool, dry place. When canning vegetables, success depends on speed and thoroughness. ÏÇeep the temperature of the room in which the preparing of the vegetables is done below; 85 degrees Fahrenheit, and then promptly remove the jars from the water bath when the time limit expires. Do not use any preservatives preservatives as they are dangerous. Foods containing Them cannot be sold. Do not stretch the jar rubbers. This will ruin them. When ready to use the rubbers, pour , over them plenty of boiling water to sterilize them. This also permits the rubber to slip over the jar without stretching.

The former Czar and his wife never meet, the Slovo tells us: They occupy the upper floor of the palace, but different apartments, the Minister of Justice having ordered that the Czar and Czarina should not meet each other.

Good health is a quadruped. It has four. .legs-7-diet,. water, exercise and fresh air. x The diet should be variéd, wéll-cooked, well-masticated and well- ..balanced--hut not.oyerattractive. Most persons eat too, much. If they cut their food down one-half they would be much better off. It is not the amoünt we eat,- but what we do with what we ■ eat that is of consequence. Variety should be attained by changes from one meal to another, rather than by a multitude of dishes at each meal. A wilderness of attractions is likely to lead the average mortal to a line of action action that is ruinous. , Spices and other stimulating accessories accessories also tend to lure one into the same deadly, snare. v An .appetite that has to_ be incited to actioh-- by stimulants stimulants or an array of fine dishes needs a vacation, needs rest; needs a course of treatment, in which starvation is the.chief factor. . It is a foolish notion many persons have that they ought to eat at. conventional conventional intervals whether they desite desite to or not. Food is poison,to, a system that loathes it o;r is indifferent to it. An appetite, is not natural unless unless plain whole-meal bread and butter or plain bread without butter tastes delicious. Starvation is one. of the very best remedies for a large class of human ailments. It enables the eliminative organs to catch up, rest the overworked stomach and'refreshes the whole system. 'Absolute starvation starvation is not necessary. A diet consisting consisting of fruits,"bran, lettuce, celery and similar coarse things, avoiding fats and protein, - taking chiefly uncooked fruits, will change the intestinal flora and -eliminate the mischievous germ's. Two meal^ a day are better than three for those "not engaged in hard labor. Water is the great solvent and puriL fier of the body. A cold bath followed by a vigorous rub is the best of tonics, and a hot bath is the most marvelous of all poultices for the relief of internal internal congestion. Such exercise as walking, running, rowing', wheeling, chopping, playing, mountain-climbing, skating, gardening, gardening, punching the bag--anything that stimulates the lungs and heart to vigorous vigorous action--is of benefit. Exercise should be earnest and whole-souled--something that will set the machinery spinning and leave the" body vigorous and dynamic. Outdoor exercises are by far the best. But. indood exercises are immensely superior superior to none at all. It is not necessary necessary to have a lot of apparatus.-- It is not necessary to have a real pigskin pigskin in order to punch the bag nor a race-course in order to run. If you are really in earnest about it, you can punch metaphorically) & spot on the wall--punch at it--and run while remaining remaining in the same place. No person can be permanently well without fresh air. Even the poor birds and monkeys die of consumption after a little while when they are shut Up in the devitalized atmosphere of our homes and menageries.

Ketche- son, who was' formerly Division Court Bailiff of the Trenton Court, and is now living ' at 278 Front street, Belleville, Ont. Over fifteen years ago Wt. Ketcheson was cured of an extremely extremely severe case of eczema and piles by Dr. Chase's Ointment, and he writes now to say that the cure proved a permanent one. ï n 189T M ' r " Krtcheson wrote as follows :--"I was / \ troubled for thirty years with Itching piles and eczema» I could not sleep at night, and when I got warrft the itching was terrible. Eczema covered my legs down to the knees, perfectly raw. I have tried every preparation preparation I could hear of. Seeing Dr. Chase's Ointment advertised, I procured a'tox, and this Ointment effected a complete cure." On Sept. 28th, 1912, 1 Mr - Ketcheson wrote as fol- r r 1 lows :-- I had suffered for many years from eczema and-piles, and/had tried doctors and everything I could hear of in vain. Reading about Dr. Chase's Ointment, I. purchased it at once, and was soon completely cured. That, was fifteen years ago, bo there can -be no : doubt of the curé' being a permanent " one. * I have „ met a great many people who have been cured by Dr. Chase's Ointment."

The standard upit was j.6 ounces of unbaked dough, which is a fairer test than baked bread. The weights of baked loaves have varied so greatly and the sizes so often changed that it is 'alnjogt impossifile to find a Reliable standard other than ip dough form,: The average average price for the United States for 19 ounces of unbaked dough on .

That men in the presence of death should be more impressionable, more susceptible to emotional influence, is natural. -There has been not a little said in»English religious journals of the great "spiritual revival" which is reported to have occurred in the army. Those who are in the best position position to judge would like to discourage discourage all such talk. Gut at the front men undoubtedly see life in a truer perspective and with a larger vision. Small things have a tendency to assume their proper unimportance unimportance and great and fundamental fundamental things come by their own. Inevitably, Inevitably, the men of the new armies are in the mass more serious-minded and more disposed to religious awe than they were when they -were at home -amid the trivial familiar things. But few army chaplains would care to represent represent that as evidence of a great spiritual revival. It would be as irr^ accurate to go to'the other extreme and call it merely cowardice which prompts the devil to be a saint when hr; is sick arid fears to die. It ia merely that in the presence of such conditions as prevail on the battlefields battlefields the depths of a man's nature are stirred, and he inevitably becomes spiritually and emotionally more responsive. responsive. Even so, it is all to the good. The men,"however far any individual individual may be from an abrupt "conversion," "conversion," will all be the better for it. And when the men come home better than they came out, the army chaplain must be given much of the credit.
