I assert that it is the duty of the good housewlfe to keep down the appetite of her husband, writes the Rev. F. S. Root. Particularly is this neceseary in the cases of well-to-do profesBional and business mfin. In the families of mechanica earniag low wages such a warning is almost wholly unnecessary, but it may be said of most men in good circumstances that they eat too íreely of rich food. If men would begin careful and systematic physical culture in early youth and continue the aractice through life, good health wovld be the result. Beyond the age of forty- at a period when so many are physically lazy- the superior value of exercise is apparent; but ordinarily, this is just the time when the hygiëne of athletics is neglected. There is no reason why a punchlngbag, rowing-machine, pulley-weights and other apparatus should be relegated to college boys and clerks. But having done a good deal of work in hls time it is almost impossible to persuade a business or professional man, turning forty, to give any sort of attention to physical culture if such training has been previously neglected. Henee, I say it is the duty of a woman to keep trom her husband all rich compounds that will ultimately ruin hís digestión. High feeding is occasionally neutralized by hard exercise; but in the abeence of the latter it Is mischievous in the extreme. If your husband will stand the treatment, begin by switching ff from the heavy breakfast of Bteak, hot rolls, potatoea, etc, and set beiore him egg-on-toast, oat-meal and colïee.
