The Food That Man Needs
"As n the daily wear and tear of life a great deal of the substauce of a man's body is used up, it is absolutely necessary and sj'StematicalIy looked after," writes Mrs. S. T. Korer in the April Ladies' Home Journal. "Then, too, inau must créate heat and force, according to the cliinate in which 'ne lives and the occupations he follows. A wise combination of food is, therefore, 1 sary to keep the bod}7 in workiug order. In cold weather we need a large xmount of carbonaceous foods - fats, sugar and starches - tlian we do in suinuier. In the hot climates and during the hot nionths fruit and green vegetables, taining the salt necessary to keep the blood in good condition, should be used freel}'. According to our method of living in this country we should take about two parts repaid food, such as meat, eggs, milk, cheese or, in the vegetable kingdom, the oíd peas, beans and lentils, to three parts of carbonaceous food, such as white bread, potatoes, rice, butter, cream and fats of all kinds. Then we must have a certain amount of bulky or watery vegetables, such as lettuce, spinach, cabbage, onions, and also the fruits. In making out a daily ration we should have at the begining of the meal some light dish that may be taken slowly, to prepare the stomach for food that is to follow, then i meat or its equivalent. With beef we should serve potatoes; with mutton, rice. With chickens, either rice or potatoes." lt is thua appaient'that the silverites are getting into a beautiful quarrel ainong themselves, and that a majority of tlieni are nclined to serve notice upon Mr. Bryan tliat his assumption tliat the nornination of the Chicago convention was for all time and all cauipaigus is slightly erroneous. The warehouses and storehouses of this country are filled with foreign goods. These must be worked ofl" before American goods can be got well into the market. TJntil this is accomplished, and foreign goods are still coming in, American manufactories will be unable to resume, as they desire, or to pay the wages the people" would like to see paid.
