The edifice was of frame con- stroction and wss bullt thirty years ago.

Dizxos, MM, DD, LL, DD, Com- missioner of Health, Man is an omnivorous animal and cannot sfford to permit himselt to be hurried at meale, Itis impossible to bolt such food as the average person eats without ir juring the health, With the animal kingdom the sense of smell, as well as the sense of taste, enters largely into the enjoyment of the meal. This should be the case with mankind. Odor and taste, if properly exercised, have a tendency to stimulate the fluids essential to proper digestion. Chewing the food a reasonable length of time should sssist us in en- joying the taste and flavor. One of the essentinlé to good digestion Is to eat those things whioh we relish ape less Lhe contrary is indicated by well established scientific and empirical knowledge, Civilization has dalled our instincts in this respect but it sur- vives to a certain degree in cur relish for certain food stufle. This relish st ould not be mietaken for the inordi- nate fondness for certain things, Everyone can distinguish between an occasional intemperate indulgence and a natural taste and relish. The proper flow of the digestive fluids is essential to good digestion, A liberal portion of fruit is suggested by moat dietitians and it is a common be- lief that fruit is a wholesome food, It should be remembered however, that scid fruits are often irritating to the mucus membrane and if the habit ia long continued on a naturally weak digestion or with babies, It will still further interfere with digestion, Al most everyone who Is using grape fruit or other acid fruit for food, makes a mistake by eating it before breakfast or at hoy time on an emply stomach, It should be eaten after breakfast Io- stead of before as Is the habit, stitches by the Lamp burning A Rayo Lamp : feres Pant wns Your de mace § arid late {re 11 a0 88S 10r al Gives the Rayolight Oil “her « i 3 Atlantic fon lar na fiat] re | Gealer who displays this s Costs no more than the u Zlimmer amp 1s ofttirmes gaches, the finest ht of a Rayo NTIC “7 5, ¥ lerence—the dif- s1141f ALA ns without ES, ut that lig} g i 1s Aghnt and un- inowing house- as good as lothes (one- ves, har faded Rayolight Qil—from any Philadelphia Pittsburgh The Weather, Readings of the thermon od 1 Spm. and indicate t pointe reached during the preceding ours.
