In a little booklet issued by the National Sanitarium Association under whose auspices has been established the Muskoka Free Hospital for Con- sumptives, we have the story told of a sad case of consumption. A young woman, appareuUy friend- less, cement on a train reaching Fort William, and immediately procured work as a domestic. A doctor wait called in to examine her care, as she appeared to be a consumptive, and she was at once pronounced • bad case of tuberculosis. She was placed in the small local hospital of the town, and everything possible for the moment is being dour to help the patient. But writing to the Secretary of the National Sanitarium Association, the Secretary of the Board of Health gals: "1s it possible to make room for this patient an the Muskoka Free Hospital or Consumptives. The local hospital is crowded for room, and there is really no place for this poor girl." Continuing. the Fort AVillian official adds "1 may say that as far as being able to pay is concerned, she, -ax far as we can learn, has no friends who can afford to pay for her in an institution." 1t is to meet just moth gears as these that the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives has been opened. The official repots of the past year show that more than half the patients who enteral the institution wereab.o- Iutely free -their inaintenanee not costing them a single farthing. The others only paid a nominal sum rang- ing from $1.511 to $6.00 a week, only • few paying the larger amount The average of each patient was less than 50 ('cite a day. .The actual cost of maintenance to the institution is over $9.00 a week so that our readers ran readily see how strong a rase is made out by the Trustees in their appeal to make provision for just such s patient am that from Fort Viliiam--only one of scores who are constantly seeking admission.

Feeding cows before, after or,„, at time of mllkitr; has but very IitUe in- euenc' upon the amount of milk given or the cows' comfort, provided that. whichever methal is adopted. it :s continued regularly. Vows. like men. are creatures of habit. They know almost to a minute when 1t is tin:,• for the grain ration or other feed and when the milker is due to take the milk. and nothing should ,.•ear to rause a break in the regular routine of feeding, milking. etc. At Milking Time. tour own prarticc has been to Fera after milking. It has also seemed lest to have the cows all attention at milk- ing time. If eating a grain feed while being milked,.a cow- id eager for the feed end possibly brings the right hind beg forward soddenly against the milker, causing the fail to move about and rattle. The unexpected noise may cause the row to kick or the one next to her to do so. The milker must be constantly on his guard.

Why Fried Feed. Are Considered 1a - digestible. Why are fried foods considered indi- gestible? Because the tat lu which the trying is done, no matter of bow good quality that fat may be, forms a thin coating over each particle of food so fried. Now, neither the digestive fluids of the month nor those of the stomach eau act upon fat, and so the tat Incrusted food cannot be digested. Tats aro digested only by a certain agent known as steapsin, which meets the food In tin Intestines. By the time the stomach gets into contact with the fat enveloped food, It has fer- mented -and [hare Indigestion. Salted arid cornet meats should he avoided- first, because they are usually taken from 50 inferior part of an in- tertor -- often diseased -annual. and. second, because the chemicals used to prevent the meat from undergoing chemical change outside the body will act within the body to prevent the chemical change known as digestion. Meat is often denied to those suffer- ing ufferIng front rheumatism, because the dis- order known as rbeumatlsm Is noth- ing more or less than au effort of the system to get rid of a certaiu poison which has been deposited at the junc- tion of some of the long bones of the body.Auother question efteu nuked is. "Why should I not drluk with my teals?' Well, maluly because (Mu- llen of the gastric juice and the saiha with a pint or more of water will weaken their action, perhaps to such a degree that they may fail to do tbeir work, and the consequence 1s Indiges- tion. Of course Mikis other than wa• ter, as wine. beer, tea, coffee and so on, not only dilute the digestive fluids. but complicate the problem by adding •a poison to the food. It is advisable to drink fusty of pure water at other tittles than during steals because the body needs every Clay at least two quarts of water. The booty of a wan or woman of aver. age sae contains about a barrel of wit. ter. This is being literally "steamed" out of the body ut the rata at. sic or seven pounds, upward of three quarts, a day, and so, in addition to the water contained in all solid facets (a beef, steak is about three-quarters water., the body nide about two quarts daily.
