Per- haps you would be glad to it you had no other home most of the time and the hospital offered the only chance, of staying alive. Mrs. Patrick, has been living this way tor years. 'Her trouble? Common enough—consump- tion, and she is poor and almost friendless, Her present stay at the Toronto Hospital for Consumptives has done her so much good, however, that she believes she will stay out for good when she leaves. She is anxious to get away to a quiet life in some small town, perhaps to open a small millinery shop. The excellent treatment she has been getting has Put new life and new hope in Mrs. Patrick; but, of course, she and so many hundreds of others who have spent their last cent in the search for health must he helped by •warm- hearteu friends. A contribution from you would be greatly appreciated. Such may be sent to Hon- W. A. Charlton or A. E. Ames, 223 College Street, Toronto 2. Ontario.

Only in recent Years have Western doctors and scientists begun to con- sider hygiene' in relationto the pre- paration of food; but Hindus of high caste have been preparing their meals on hygieninprinciples for centuries, Hygienic rules • for cooking and eating were embodied in the Hindu religious laws to ensure their observ- ance, and they •axe observed •to this day by all except •the unorthodox.: All cooking vessels must 'be of brass, spotless, and shining both in- side and out. 'The kitchen is separ- ated from the rest of the house, and no one is allowed there except the cook and the amistants. ' The Hindu wife, who prepares the meals, must be an early riser. Before cooking her lord and master's morn- ing meal she must bathe herself from head to foot. She then repairs to the kitchen, in a clean garment still wet from the washing The food is newly prepared and cooked for each meal, and served on platters of freshly -plucked leaves sewn together with twigs. Any food left over is at once given to the pbor who are Waiting at a distance from the kitchen. The leaf plates arc throw» away. No one eats without first bathing and putting on clean clothes. While the husband eats the women htand by and serve,' taking their own food afterwards. Hindus eat only twice O. day. They do not drink until they have eeten. The ulfe fetchee fresh water from elle well died it into her husband's hands, from which he drinks, so that his lips do not touch the vessel. If a• paid cook els kept in a Hindu - houSe he must be of the same caste as his eraployer or of a higher one. This ensures a correct observance of the rulee. In Hindu restaurants, and in the Government prisons also, the cook is always a Brainnin--thet is the highest caste. • These rules were made by Manu, the great law -giver, in the second century. • INVENTED SODA -WATER. • Carbonated Water 'Business Started In 1807 by a Minister. A monument •to the inventor, of soda -water has been suggested --not in the form of a bronze statue, but a fountain in every schoolroom, flow- ing with the beverage that carbonates but does not inebriate. The inventor was the Rev. Joseph Priestley, the discoverer of the chief element in the • world—oxygen. He was distrusted and 'ill-treated in England, on the grounds that he was a Republican, a Nonconformist, and a chemist, so a mob burned his home and Taboiatory in Birming- ham. He sought refuge in Pennsyl- vania. While preaching in a chapel at Leeds he lived near a brewery, and became interested in the possibility of utilizing the gas which came off the vats, When he moved away, he had to devise a means of preparing and collecting the gas, then called "fixt air." This'ledhim to the invention of the pneumatic trough, which is still the main mechanism of the analysis and storage of gases. He also determined the solubility of car bon dioxide and employed it for charging beverages. Priestley's experiments interested a Philadelphia physician, who induc- ed a druggist, Townsend Speakman, to prepare carbonated water, for his patients. Thus the soda -water Miel- nese was born in 1807. e HAILED AS PROPHET. Gen. Allenby Conforms to Historic Arab Proverb. Col. Peter Warren, who was di- rector of the army postal service with Gen. Allenby, told of Allenby's entry into Jerusalem in an address on the campaign at Yorec, England, recently. He said the general enter- ed• Jerusalem on foot through the Joppa Gate, and not on horseback through the specially made gate, as the former kaiser had done. There was, he said, an old Arab proverb that the holy places would not revert to the Christians until a. prophet doming as a conqueror should enter on foot through, the Joppa Gate, and until the waters of the Nile flowed. into Jerusalem. The Nile waters, explained Col, Warren, were taken into Jerusalem by .a pipe line by Allenby's expedi- tionary force to replace the city's supply of rain water in tank. The Arab word for prophet is El Nebi and. the Arab e at once asso- ciated Allenby's Aame with El Nebi. This, coupled with the arrival of the Nile water in the city, was the reason why the general entered the City as he did: • "Coney."
