Well cooked rice, arrowroot ami boil ed milk heal intestinal irritations. Pickles, excrpt when eaten with meat ami oily foods, are positively un wholesome. Strong coffee, taken without cream. Is refreshing to the nerves and stimulat ing to the brain. Sweet things and rare meat conduce to make gouty acid In the blood of those predisposed to rheumatism. Toast nnd tea form an invalid diet which is far from ideal. There Is tan nic acid in the tea and but little nutri ment in the toast. Food values differ according to indi vidual constitutions. Ac-cording to the old saw, What' one man's meat Is another man's poison." Gastronomic exieriments should be made with extreme caution. Nothing is of greater importance than to par take of those foods which best equip the body for life's work. WlllinK to Help Him. Clerk I am to be married shortly.

What of the body that lias nt) warmth the thin, poor body that lacks the healthy flesh and fat it needs? For su h we say that Scott's Kmulsion provides the riht kind of a coat. Why? Be cause Scott's Emulsion builds firm, solid flesh , and sujv plies just enough fat to fill nature's requirements p.o more. That means bodily warmth. e'H eai yon j sjrrpic m dimm reourt.
