Cv Naiitiuiire's''- Dx iiiiiks Aire Best By Dr. O. Hfnry BrinkVr, Author of "Suitable Foods.' "Whtt hn we .drink?" : , Sojne people I now would regard thin query as a tugseetlon -nay. al most n InvlUtlon t go to the nearets hoto drinks Jn eplte of the protesta tions, of German scientists that they are nourishing.

Now, my friend, you ought not to nave a apot that requires touching. lt me give you a hint. The cook sometimes uses acids, eren lemons, to cut up the grease on her pans. Why not use lemon Juice to cut up those greasy, spots yon put inside. Or, don't eat excessive fats, and rich spiced dishes, and you won't need either lemon Juice or alcohol to re-Hoi-e.. the oppression of your wrong foods. Baited, canned meat and fish, excessive use of fatty cereals or sug ars, nre alsov causes of that craving Ti-hlch Induces you to go ta the whis ky bottle. . ..- As long as these irritating roods or habits fit eating are continued there will be drdnkardo, and prohibition: will fall to -prohibit "reaching, scolding, pleading will be of little ., .in ....

Those mineral waters so .often prescribed for rheumatism and gout only add to theTnass or foreign concretions -and unsound elements which cause the complaints because the system - can not expel them. They are, of course, the cause, of 111 . looks, disease,--and premature death. Although tem porary relief may fHow sometimes from taking mineral waters, exper ience proves that ill health Is sure to arrive from taking Into the bdoy those foods not suited to it needs; The soda fountain" is deleterious as well aa the beer barrel. It la not a question of costliness, but of Ignor ance of Tood .values in the first place which creates the artificial taste from long continued liablts of eating of wrong food3. Until a correct knowl edge of simple foods rightly com bined le obtained ,by the people, they wui eitner starve in some depart ment 'of h system or be overfed In another, and a condition 6f despera tion of mind be set up tending to crime and vice. , WROXQ FOOD CAUSE THIRST. It there la n thirst for a drink fhat la recognized, hurtful, there Is a cause. When irritating foods are put Into the body there arises a desire for relief, coupled with a befuddled condition or mind, which too often results in a resort to artificial false aids. The mora one . depends on these stimulants the more exhausted the whole body becomes and the 1 (Tw er the tone of mind.- It is not nec essary to beoome positive villain to miss the most that is jln life, because an uneasy mind, a restless disposi tion, unsatisfied cravings, , hot-headaches. Indifference to present Oppor-i tunltles, a bad temper, go further to wreck men and women on the sea of life than a big leak in the boat. When habjts become simple, we shall become ready on tiptoe to use oppor tunities we develop. I cannot but think from actual fa?ts 'that the ' temperance move ment is ttrged on by a half truth. Jt one look deeply and fairly Into bis habits. and recnjrnlte that, whether drinker .or abstainer, he also pande'ra to his cravings. The desire for al cohol is but one result of wrong fjorU. , Coffee and tea drinks are as artifi cial as beer and whisky.-' CofTee and tea form neither fuel nor tlaeue. Both are aethtingents and factors in constipation They arrest the excre tion of gastric Juices by their piick erinjt properties, thus holding off hunger and' forcing the: person to work on his reerve force without much sustenance from his stomach.

They Jump to the conclusion that it 1 is a wholesome beverage, and wtjen fatigued or depressed, or even hun gry, they take a cup of tea. . But the temporary advantage Is bought too. dearly. Another class of people use It for economy, to avoid the expense of a hearty meal, and Instead of tak ing food, drink to enable them to re sume work with more vigor and turn tlma Into money. Both classes cheat themselves, for the most thoughtless wilt admit that dried sticks and leaves called tea ' do not contain nourish ment, nnd that when tea or xoffee i taken persistently at - those time when nourishment Is needed the body must deteriorate. -, PREVENTS 'TI8SUE RENEWAL.

More over theine. caffeine and theobrom ine are foreign elements not found Hi the composition of the human body, hence not healthfully assimilated. Many people apologlxe for their cravings by referring to their ances tors. A woman will say: "My moth er was a great, tea-drinker; and why should I, as I am not 111. leave it off?" She forgets to mention that tbe ac tion or her liver and other organs Is greatly Impaired. She Is highly nerv ous, very irritable, and looks prema turely old; her skin looks like parch ment, and the body Is either plnVhed or stout. A man will say: "My fath er was" a heavy smoker and' tea drinker, and I have . smoked and drunk coffee, tea and whUkey from boyhood. There U nothing; the mat ter with me, except that I am a mar tyr to dyspepsia, like my father." The basis of all cravings Is that some good elements are lacking and some are in excess. . t Milk, assuming the cow Is proper ly fed. should be a perfect article of diet for tho young calf. For human belnaa It U too bulky in proportion to the nerve nutriment it affords.

Many who have been fond of milk when young have been enabled by thiss means tn take It again with benefit. But such pre dlgested thickened milk should not be used to the exclusion 'of meat. Science tells ux that three quartern of the human body is composed of water, from which statement many people decide to Imbibe large quanti ties of water, plain or otherwise. All water, especially In large cities, is tainted In some degree with orifanl.r impurltleainfectlnns. fllt!u.thf cause of many plagues and epidemic which still ntnict civilization.

Versonal ex perience and professional observation alike convince me that plRln water is not neceesar;.' to health when the pure liquid of Juicy fruits and vege tables can be obtained. Tnmaloes of good quality are excellent for rheu matism and gout when properly ap plied, but combined with unsuitable foods they aid In distributing the mis chief and aggravating the trouble. A diet consisting of freoh meats, f1nh. etilad, vegetables. Juicy fruits, pears, grapes, etc., must .ultimately supersede all drinks for thosn -who wish the best results In health and life. All other drlnka are second rate In beneficial qualities. The best are the fruit extracts made from fruit by the cook, as lemonade, orangeade, apple water, eto. Next are the In fusions from tea, coffee, cocoa; next the so-called fruit extracts at the soda fountain, the mineral waters, and fermented extracts in the saloon. But failing the pure food Juices, It Is best to use plain water. (Copyright. 190J. by G. II . Hrlnkler). No flower could at all compare.
