examples. Some vegetables and gralnt
also contain protelds , especially peaa
bcnuc , wheat , rye , corn , etc.
The non-nitrogenous elements arc
dlrlded Into fats , carbohydrates ( sug
are nad starches ) and salts.
In other words , we must find In oui
feed the same elements that entoi
Into the composition of the body.
The folly of trying to live on anj
one particular kind of food will be up

himself with the constitution of thi
body and its needs. The protelds an

What Is Digettiont
Digestion is the process of trans
forming food elements into substance
that can be absorbed into the blooi
through thu walls of the digestlv
tract. If the ellgcstire functions ar
paralyzed food taken Into the stomacl
acts simply as a foreign body am
causes irritation and finally , by its dc
composition , poisoning.
The digestive processes are carrlci
on by substances whose exact foni
and constitution are unknown , tcrmci
enEymeM , or ferments.
But digestion does not begin in th
Btouiach. The saliva contains n ver ;
Important enzyme , ptyalin , which coi :
verts starch into malt sugar. The in :
portance of thoroughly chewing ui
starch foods , such as cereals , vegetn
blcs , bread , pastry , potatoes , etc. , wl
at once be apparent.
"Counting your chews , " however , 1
not advised. The act of chewln
should be natural and subconscloui
If the attention is directed too closcl
to the mechanical act of chewing 01
In fact , if the mind dwells too intcntl
on the subject of digestion the nonm
functions are retarded. Count you
chews some time and note If you
jaws do not ache by the time yo
reach the twentieth. Count your ster
in walking and note whether yoi
limbs do not quickly tire.
If the Internal activities of our bee
les could be seen In their cntlret ;
Tcn for a few brief moments , it
probable that an unutterable wearlnef
would oppress and stifle us.
Prolonged chewing of meat does m
appear to be required. The favorab
results from experimenting along th
line are probably duo to the fact tin
less meat was taken. The saliva dot
not digest meat. On the contrary. I
prolonged chewing meat is thoroaghl
saturated with the alkaline eecretli
of the mouth , which would appear

Diet Hints.
First ns to meat consumption : Meat
is not a poison. There In no need to
shudder eve-ry time you Indulge In a
beefsteak. On the other hand , It Is
known to contain certain substances ,
extractives whleh if taken In excess
may throw nn extra burden on the
kldneysi and which seem to have some
influence in causing a gouty condition.
Meat in palatable and easy to pre
pare ; conveniently there is a tendency
to overindulge In It. There is a well
grounded belief among medical men
that meat once a elay is sufficient , es
pecially during middle llfo and old age.
Where gout , rheumatism or kidney
trouble exists meat should be spar
ingly taken. In such conditions light
meats are less harmful and boiled
meats better than roasted or broiled.
Fried meat IB u dietetic atrocity , even
for the strongest stomach.
Value of Vegetable Diet.
Many vegetables are rich in protelds
and from a chemical standpoint quite
as nutritious as meat. But here is
where the rub conies lu a fooel must
be digestible or its proeld ! contents
are valueless "Boston baked beans"
are rich in proteidH , but a steady diet
of that elelwtiible dainty would be u
severe teht for wmie stomachs.
Vege-taMe-s u > a class contain a gre > at
deal of cellulo'-e and liber which can
not be digested. This t-e-rves a useful
purpose , as it stimulates the action ol
the Inte'stine-s ll.v Increasing the pro
portion of M'jretables in the diet a *
middle age. appioiK'lies and the vital
activities bvgin to slow down the pro-
teiel eleiueutK in the food are reduced
and there is lehs burden laid upon
kidneys and urte-rie'S.
Fats and ugar are energy producer *
auci very valuable foods for this pur
pose. Taken in t-xcens. however , thej
Interfere with digestion and may prove
especially harmful In obesity , gout
rheumatism and kidney trouble. .
Sugar is likely to cause acid dyspep
slu if taken lee freely and in concen
trated form.
Fat retards the secretion of gastric
juice. Greasy fried foods are for tblf
reason objectionable.
Alcohol produces energy , but at *
high cost. It may bo excluded fron
consideration us a food , since it is in
jurious to the body cells.
Th * Measure of Food Energy.
It seems hardly proper to close thli
article without a reference to the fa
nious "calorie. " This la the amount o :
' heat required to raise one liter o :
J water 1 degree centigrade. . .It is th <
unit of food energy and is used ii
stating the amount of heat any partlc
ular food will give when burned.
According to authorities who nre no
extremists , a man weighing 15 :
pounds , moderately active , require ;
iiltout 2,800 calories. This would hi
represented by the following :
Ureud , one pound ; meat , four ounces
egg , four ounces ( two small ones )
cheese , two ounces ; potatoes , on
pound ; butter or fat , two ounces ; mill ;
one-quarter pint ; sugar , one-half ounce
tea , coffee.
Summary.
Good teeth , natural or artificial , ar
more necessary than knives and forks
Kut slowly , chew btnrchy foods thoi

In moderation at meals , freely betwcei

vegetable's ut middle life. Do not woi
ry about your food ; do not eat who :

NEW YORK
New York. April 1 In a lonely part
of C'nlvnr > cemetery lies burled nil
that Is mortal of ICdwInVnlz ,
known throughout the cast Bldo UK
"tlu > good apothecary. " In the midst
of the swirling hurly-burly of n great
city Walz llvi'd th llfo of n recluse ,
and for thirty years previous to his
sudden death last week he had not
ventured beyond the doors of his lit-
tie drug store , tie was an exllo
among the mighty multitude a aelf
Imposed exllo , since he was strong
and vigorous and < iultu able , physi
cally , to take his place In the proces
sion which marched unceasingly past
his door. Tlu > trolley line In front
of his place of business had never
collected a nickel from him. In the
distance ho could hear the roar of
trains going through on subway and
elevated , but they remained mysteries
of which ho knew only by report. The
transition to the gravu must have
been , for him , but a slight change.
Three decades ago when Walz enter
ed upon his life of seclusion from the
world , the metropolis was , compar
atlvely , but a straggling village
Around the little shop of the chemist
great buildings wen * ieared. The city
spread and prospered , the drowsy hum
of traffic became a shriek , but tin
druggist heeded not the changes that
men call progress.
Yet ho was no hard-hearted miser
His hand was always open to tin
poor and the afflicted. In a dozen
languages he was called the "gooei
apothecary , " and when he died prayers
of the repose of his soul were utterei
in all the tongues and dialects knowi
to the cosmopolitan East Side. Ne
prescription brought to Wnl/ was re
fused because of lack of money ti
pay. Every night a line of homeless
hopeless men formed at his door ant
received from his hands the 11101103
to pay for lodgings.
Despite his charity , \Valz prosperee
ilnunrinlly. Few were so mean ai
to take advantage of his generoui
spirit , and in a large proportion o
eases those who had received medl
clues free eventually paid with inter
est. Even the tramps and beggan
sometimes returned after months o
years and left with the chemist semi
Hiibstanti.il evidence of their oppre
elation of past favors.
Walz came to New York from Her
many when n inoro lad , and gradu
ated from the College of the City o
New York. Ho began his busines
career as a clerk in the same stor
in Grand street where he died. ;
Dr. Fasen then owned the shop , am
at his death left the place to his clerk
About that time the young ehemis
wooed , but failed to win , a beautifu
girl then living in old Greenwich vil
lage. Shortljj. afterward ho cnterei
upon his life of seclusion and neve
left the store until his lifeless bed ;
was carried out in a coffin. His ep
taph , "Tho Good Apothecary , " is gra\
en on the hearts of thousands wh
knew and loved him and whom h
loved.

at the office of President Paul Colson
last evening. For some months the
directors have had under considera
tion the enlarging of accommodations
for the club members and it took def
inite form last evening when a new
house for the men was decided upon.
The building will be slightly more
than half the size of the present club
house , and will be located to the west
of It. The dimensions will be 24 by 40
feet. A dressing and locker room 22
by 21 feet , a lounging room 12 by 12
feet , a room 12 by 12 feet for the pro
fessional golfer and shower and toilet
rooms each G by C feet will take up

be like that of the main club house.
Fremont Tribune : That accidents
due to carelessness among em
ployes had fallen off considerably
since the launching of an organized
safety movement , was the gist of
statements made by General Claim
Agent R. C. Richards of the North
western , with headquarters at Chica
go , in an address before a company of
local railroad men at Morse hall. Mr ,
Richards' purpose in his address waste
to impress upon the minds of the rail
road men the need of promoting the
safety of themselves and the passes
gers carried by the road. He told oi
the ways in which accidents can be
avoided by the exerting of care and
thought on the part of employes. He
spoke glowingly of the work accom
plished by the safety committees ir
the past and urged that every railroad
man should consider himself a safety
committee of one whose business it is
to do whatever ho can toward promot
ing safety for all concerned. Mr. Rich
ards cited statistics showing the decrease
crease of accidents along the lines it
recent months. Fatalities had beer
reduced 50 percent. Before the meet
ing at Morse hall , which was called al
10 o'clock , the local safety committee
of the road held a brief session at the
office of Trainmaster E. O. Mount , the
members going from there to the hal !
in a body. General Superintendent S
M. Braden of Norfolk , Division Super
intendent C. H. Reynolds of Norfolk
Master Mechanic S. C. Graham of Mis
souri Valley , and Roadmastors Cooli
of Scribner and Borgland of Linwood
were among the railroad men present
