If it Is true, ns many eminent au thorities say, that health, happiness, beauty nnd efficiency depend upon eating more than on nnythlng cIho, it Is worth while to know what to cat. Honry Ward Becchor said that a man with n poor llvor can't bo a good Christian. Certainly It Ih uaslor to oxerclse the Christian graces when ono is free from biliousness. When Bishop Fallows says that "You can make n man good or bad according to tho way you feed him," ho Is not denying the importance- of tho condition of tho heart, but em phasizing tho Importnnco of the statu of tho stomach. Daniel prepared him self and his companions for the won derful ordnnls through which thny passod by dieting ns well as by prnyer, and the Master himself by fasting 40 days. As we watch tho amoeba, tho typ ical unicellular organism, which closely resembles a blood coll, under tho mlcroscopo, wo find It changing Its form, gradually, continually. It Is all stomach, enwrapping Its food and digesting It as a single organ; and as a single organ it adapts means to ouds in securing a meal, "as perfect ly," says Cope, the eminent biologist, "as a statesman adapts means to ends In organizing a government." Tho body, thorefore, hi'made up of n myriad of cells, each seeking its own nutrition, its primary, funda mental function, yet possessing tho power of socialistic, harmonious ac tion, organized as lungs, llvor, heart, otc, subject to the influenco of the sympathetic nervous system, which binds all tho bodily organs together, so that If ono suffers nil must suffor In sympathy; carrying on tho vital processes Into which tho nutritional function is organized, unceasingly, while llfo lasts, yet ever amenable to suggestion through tho sovereign, con scious will. Digestion Is not a purely physical process, performed independently by a set of dlgcstlvo organs. Tho entire organism is ongaged in the process, controlled by tho subconscious mind, aubjoct to tho Influenco of tho con scious mind, the soverolgn will. And, conversely, tho Influenco of feeding is not confined to tho special digestive organs, nor to certain effects which we denominate "physical." Tho influence of feeding Is nll-pcrvadtng. It Is tho mainspring of tho montnl-physlcal life. In Its cssonco spiritual, It mani fests tho life through tho use of ma terial substance, food. And upon tho Quality of tho food and the degree of expenditure of vitality In tho process of nutrition, depends largely tho quali ty of tho llfo, mental, moral nnd phys ical. Tho question: "What Shall Wo Eat?" becomes In this light doubly important. Tho essential substunco of which all anlmnl tlssuo is made, from tho. amoeba to tho brain of man, is albu men. This albumen is found in tho food of all animals. Tho white of egg Is almost puro nlbumon; and in milk, tho food of tho young of all the mam malia, albumen Is a largo constituent. Experiments havo been made to do tormlno what foods will alono support llfo, determining that wheat gluten, which Is almost puro nlbumon, sup ports llfo Indefinitely longer than any other single, olement. Flesh, of which tho lean Is principally albumen, will support llfo Indefinitely, ns will milk, eggs, nuts, beans, wheat, corn, oats, dates, which contain a largo percentage of albumen with other food dements. Milk has been called tho perfect food bocauso It contains, In addition to al bumen, all tho other clomonta neces sary to build brain, musclo and bono; and tho snmo Is truo of wheat and of Homo nuts and fruits. Tho milk of nil tho mammalia contains tho snmo food elements, differing chlofly In tho amount nnd kind of tho albumen. Cow's milk Is not a perfect Infant's food because It contains a larger por contago of albumen than its natural food and of a somewhat different char acter. This Important subject will bo treated In n subsequent article Albumen Is found In largo per centage In all nuts, In beans, peas and entire whoat broad. Peanuts contain nbout 30 por cent, of albumen, with f0 per cent, fnt not Inferior to ollvo oil, nnd four per cent, mineral. Recent experiments havo ' shown that tho porcontago of nlbumon ro qulrod for perfect nutrition is much less than was formorly supposed. Tho growing child requires probably throo timos ai much as tlw maturo man bo cuu3o It must build now tlssuo besides ropnlrlng wasto. An Insufficient sup ply of albumen for tho child, If long continued, leads to serious rosults. A caso was recently brought to our at tention In which an Infant had been fod for sovoral weeks on fresh cream, becntiso It was found that tho stomach totalncd that while tho entlro milk was porslstontly rejected. At first there was an apparently satisfactory gala In flesh, but this gavo placo to extromu weakness and wasting. Tho cream was mixed with a part of tho balance of tho mlllx gradually increas ing tho amount of albumen nnd other ncccssnry elements of nutrition, nnd normal conditions soon returned. And hero it may bo remarked that excess of fatty tlssuo is nn Indication of dis ease, not of health. Tho necessary nlbumon can be ob tained from flosh becauso It is a nec essary constituent of tho flesh of nil animals, including fish. But flesh con talus a smnll percentage of wasto mat ter of the animal's system. It hns been repeatedly shown that flesh foods mny communicate dlscnso, despite tho in spection; nnd tho human alimentary canal Is not ns woll adapted to thox digestion of flesh ns Is tho organism of tho carnlvorn, In which tho stomach and llvor aro relatively much larger and tho Intestines much shorter than in man. Tho well-known tests of on durnnco recontly mndo at Yalo unl vorslty proved that non-flesh eaters had much greater sustaining powor. In nil tho great walking contests in Germany nnd America tho wlnnora have been abstnluors from flesh moat. Tho best sources of albumen, asldo from moat, aro nuts, beans, eggs nnd wholo wheat or graham bread. But tho character of the albumen is Important. Albumen coagulates nt a temperaturo of 1C0 F., nnd Is then assimilated with difficulty. It Is for this reason, partly, that tho egg is found to bo moro nutritious uncooked than cooked. And it Is for this reason, chlofly, that such apparently wonderful results havo been obtained from tho use of raw cereal foods, dcsplto tho indlgcstlhlllty of raw cereal starch. Understanding, then, that tho essen tial clement of food Is albumen, In its natural .slate, tho question arises: What is its best and most economical sourco? Considering economic con ditions, which exclude tho pecan, wal nut, nnd other expensive nuts, tho answer Is: Tho peanut, which fur nishes an abundant Btipply of easily assimilable albumen together with fat, which vies in nutrltlvo value with ollvo oil. This, with n Btnall amount or graham bread, gives tho Ideal pro tcld nnd fat ration. Tho state of Texas alono can furnish tho staplo food of our people Tho rapidly In creasing consumption of tho- peanut with tho corresponding rlso in prico should induce tho planting of a still larger crop tho coming season. Tho Incoming crop is tho largest over pro duced In this country. Not lcs3 than 80 per cont. of tho solid part of 'our food should bo that which supports combustion, maintain ing heat and muscular energy. This Is taken as fat or oil, starch or sugar. A certain percentage of fat Is neces sary for tho best nutrition. If it bo truo, as many careful students of dlot bcllcvo, that nuts and fruits are tho most nntural food of mnn, this per centage of rat should bo large. Animal rats, even milk fat when separated, are assimilated with difficulty and they, particularly lard, aro open to oth er objections. Tho consumption of ollvo oil has increased rapidly during tho past few yenrs. It is not general ly known that peanut fat, as In tho un cooked nut or In peanut butter, in which fatty acid has not been de veloped by excessive dry roasting, hh equal, If not superior, In nutrltlvo nualC Itles to ollvo oil, being assimilated with wonderrul rnclllty, as tho ex tromo degree of Its BolubllUy in water would Indicate. Thoro are serious objections to cereal starch ns tho major element ol food, which It now Is In tho dietary of tho American people. Tho potato, es pecially It baked, Is much to bo pre ferred to flno whlto bread. Rlco is far superior to tho ordinary coreals as u sourco of carbon, ns tho oxnmplo of tho Japanese would Indicate. Sugars aro tho most easily assimilat ed of foods (including honey), and fruit sugar should bo substituted for a largo part of our cereal food, cano sugar being inferior. And tho best sources of fruit sugar aro tho ripo banana (almost unknown In this coun try) figs, dates and prunes. Fruits nro better cntcn separately from other roods. Nuts nnd meat digest in the stomach, chlofly, requir ing nbout three hours there; frult3 dlgost In nbout ono hour, in the In tcstlno chiefly. There Is as much ob jection to mixing them ns thoro Is to eating and drinking at tho samo mo ment. Now without horo considering fur thor tho requirements of nn Ideal dlot, docs It not scorn ovldent that wo havo already a knowledge of facts that would ennblo us to make n wonderrul gain In good reeling und efficiency by Improving tho nutrltlvo supply and saving a largo part or tho vital energy dally wasted In digesting nnd eliminat ing Improper and unnecessary rood, ir not for tho average person who is slow to reallzo tho benefit to be ob tained, nt least for tho athloto who can quickly demonstrate a gain In ofllclon cy by right diet, ror tho invalid who needs to consorvo his vitality and for tho aged whoso stock is low (but who has, alas, lost to a groat degree tho powor of adaptation)? Hundreds of Invalids who havo gradually changed tholr diet havo found now llfo. Many who have had only tho deslro for greater offlcloncy nnd immunity from dlscaso havo made the change. A well-known merchant of Aurora, III., for example, who hns for nearly a yoar followed an oxcluslvo dlot of Juicy fruits In tho morning, peanuts with a sllco ot Graham bread at noon and prunes only In tho evening, drinking only water botwoon meals, declares that nothing could tempt him to go back to tho old way.

Olbeon, n nncrcd placo five or six miles northwest of Jerusalem, whero tho tAbcrnaclo had been erected for a time, and with Its buildings had boen n center of religious worship. Comment and 8ungestlve Thought. In Joel (2:28, 29) thoro is n prophecy quoted In tho Acts (2:17-18,) that "your daughters Bhall prophesy, and your young men shall sco visions, and your old men Bhall droam dreams." Visions nnd dreams bring beforo us tho ideals and possibilities which wo can press rorward to mako real and true Tho wholo church should keep beforo hor tho vision of a porfect church nnd n perfect world, tho city of God. How Solomon Reasoned Out His De cision. Vs. C-8. Solomon, beforo de ciding what to chooso, carefully con sidered his circumstances nnd needs, thus showing that well-balanced mind on which it wns possiblo to bcBtow tho gift of wisdom. First Consideration. The memory of whnt God had douo for his father was a motlvo for walking In tho snmo ways, receiving tho snmo favor, and carrying out to perfect fulfillment what his fathor had begun. Second Consideration. His work was laid upon him by God. Solomon had not sought tho placo as did Absa lom and Adonijah. V. 7. "Thou hast mndo thy serv ant king." Tho tact that God has put a man in any position or trust or duty creates an obligation to fulfill tho trust and porform tho duty. Third Consideration. His youth and lnexporlonce "And I am but a llttlo child." Ho was young and lnoxpo rlcnccd compared with his fathor, who came to tho throne after a youth of activity, nnd ton or twelve years of speciul training, and soven moro as king over a Binall kingdom. "I know not how to go out or come in." This expression Ib proverbial for tho nctlve conduct of affairs. Sco Num. 27:17; Deut. 28:6; 1 Sam. 18:13. This was a strong reason for asking of God tho things he doclded to ask. Fourth Consideration. The groat ncss of the work to bo done. V. 8. "Thy servant is in tho 'midst of thy people." That is, is sot ovor them as a king. Thoy woro a turbulent peo ple, often going astray, often contend ing with each other, with strong wills and an impulsive temperamont. Prob ably there was a strong party opposed to him, and brothers of full ago roady to lead it. "Which thou hast chosen." It was not only a groat nation, but tho nation chosen to roprcsent God bo foro tho world and carry out his king dom und teach tho world his truths. All thlB wa3 a far greater responsibil ity than tho ruling of an ordinary king dom. "A great people, that cannot bo numborod." This was a common and nntural expression for a largo num. bor. Soo Gen. 13:1C. From tho num ber of men given In 2 Sam. 24:9 and 1 Chroh. 21:5, C, it is Inforred that the population was about 6,000,000. It would havo been very Mlfflcultln those days to got tho exact number of the people. Solomon Chooses Wisdom. V. 9. "Glvo therefore" In vlow of all tho abovo considerations, and-becauso God had tho gifts In vast abundance, and ho alone was the sourco and fountain thereof. "An understanding heart" Wisdom for tho administration of his duties, wise principles, and wisdom In the application of them to the nation. V. 10. "And tho speech pleased tho Lord." Why? (1) It was right noble, unselfish, Ilko God himself. (2) It rendered It possiblo for God to glvo him largo measures of tho best things In all tho universe (3) It furnished an opportunity to glvo many other things. God loves to give Ho gives us nil wo can beneficially recelvo. Tho moro ho can glvo us, tho hotter ho Is pleased. V. 11. "Becauso thou hast ... not asked for thysolf." Tho Belllsh man cannot recelvo tho gifts God gave to Solomon, and ho ought not to re celvo what ho Bclflshly asks for him self. Selfishness is of hell, not of hcavon, and bears tho blossoms nnd fruits of tho placo to which It be longs. Noto that tho rollglous, unselfish llfo Is tho essential condition on which tho best earthly gifts can safely bo bestowed. Tho spiritual city of God must come before it Is possiblo or safo to have tho outward glories and riches nnd pleasuros which aro tho fruit of tho perfect spiritual life. Just as fast and as far as society be comes Christianized throughout, so far will It bo able to work out tho most helpful things which tho laws ot na turo and tho will of man can pro duce. Tho world hns boon doprived of the best worldly conditions possiblo, be causo it was not safo to entrust all thoso forces and power? to selfish men, and to a community where ignoranco and vlco aro unrostrulnod. But Just as far as any nation be comes Christianized are all these things added unto them. Ho Gained tho Blessing Ho Asked For. Ho became very wlso in many directions, his organizations, commerce, fortifications, temple, pal aces, wnterworkB, literature, his wide oxtended kingdom, his ability to keep tho nation at pcaeo intornally and with ! su'roundlng nations, aro proof of uls wisdom. .
