Show IT domars mars sphere by one on of th the sex aw the food we fat eat breakfasts still discussing the various articles used for breakfast there is one special food that should occupy the place of honor on every breakfast table and that is fruit this may be green apples baked or stewed if you have winter apples or it may be although I 1 do not think that so good nor healthful it may be canned fruit I 1 will lell ell you by and by my objection to canned fruit iut but the best evex everyday fruit that which can and ought to be a daily acquaintance is dried fruit dried fruit is cheap it is very wholesome it is excellent to the taste when properly prepared and nothing quite takes its place in the first place there is quite a variety you can get dried apples peaches apricots pears and plums you need not have the same kind of fruit on the table two mornings in succession indeed I 1 consider this repetition a great mistake for two reasons the appetite of the average american ma s capricious thing and irit is satiated the most delicious article of food becomes distasteful secondly if enough fruit is stewed to last two or three days it gets dry and looks anything but inviting the chief quality of stewed dried fruit is to have it ii just fresh and even warm from the fire sometimes when fruit persists in lasting over one day I 1 put it on the fire at breakfast time to warm up with a little boiling water and a trifle more sweetening this freshens it up and helps it to get eaten the first thing to be considered in this sub subject ill ct we are discussing has some re resemy ance to the notorious recipe for cooking a missionary first catch your man it is of the utmost importance that you shall get good fruit and the first consideration is what is ii the quality of your fruit my plan is to go to the several stores where I 1 deal ask the clerks to give me one pound out of each kind of fruit and take them home and try them the sample that is the test best I 1 hasten back to buy a full supply for getting the fruit in quantity in that way gives you the advantage of two or three cents on a pound abound androu and you run no risk of getting poorer fruition fruit in the future for a family of eight fifty pounds of apples ten pounds each of a apricots plums pear peara and peaches or fifteen fi pounds of the latter if they be extra good ought to last a whole year we get more apples as we use them for pies puddings and in fact ure them more or less the whole year through when your missionary is caught the preparations for cooking are imperative no kind of dried fruit should be soaked over night all the goodness and richness of the apples is in the water if that is done wash the fruit in as many waters as it may require look it over carefully and put only a handful of apples if ifft it is is apples you are cooking on at a time as they will swell so much pour bailin boiling water be sure it is i s boiling water and n gd cover them never stir frat of any kind no spoon should touch stewing fruit watch the pan especially if they are apples and pour in boiling water as occasion may demand but never stir them under any circumstances if you find them scorching take them off at once and turn all that will readily turn out into a clean saucepan and with more boiling water complete the operation there is a great deal to be said about sweetening the fruit how to do it and when so we will discuss that in another chapter the clothes we wear UNDERWEAR married women in this church have their own particular suits of underwear which is worn next to the person I 1 have heard recently of some ot of our over worldly young matrons matrona who have taken these union suits bought in the stores and with a needle and pair of scissors have adapted them to such use as they thought rendered other undergarments wives of high counselors and daughters of apostles are guilty of th thus abusing their high privileges let me raise my warning voice against such sinful practices for they will surely win the sorrowful sorrow lul reward they merit there can be no such thing as temporizing with the designs of the almighty I 1 have also seen some of these same silly women with such low bodices and with sleeves so short that there was nothing but a strap over the shoulder and I 1 haye painfully wondered where their undergarments were surely the mothers and fathers of this generation aeration ne ration of young people are not f fulfilling ul filling all their duties if they see their children doing such things without re proof these actions are more injurious to other silly women because of the example p e se set by y those ose w who 0 ar are in n high ig places than they are to the silly ones who perpetrate such foolishness A most comfortable suit of winter underwear is a pair of properly made cotton undergarments with a knit union over that and then a divided skirt if it is considered indispensable to wear a petticoat there is small need of any sort of petticoat if extra warmth is needed more than the two suits of underwear take a pair of flannel bloomers or as they are now called divided skirts and you will surely be warm enough for the frostiest frost iest weather no man can imagine the burden women bear in their unhealthful modes of dress if a man were to wear just one skirt around for a few hours while he be was at his work he would be ready to almost curse skirt the one who invented it and all who wear it unless a woman adopts the reform costume and wears it for a portion of each day she will never be made to realize the bondage she is in daily but for goodness sake let us get rid of as many burdens as we can and trust to the future to developed dev elope something which will be possible and healthful for us all therefore I 1 say take off your petticoats get union under suits or vests and drawers if the un der suits are not to be got and then wear woolen drawers if those are not sufficient to keep you warm the question of hose and garters is also an important one to consider for the woman who wants to be healthy and comfortable A great many people think that woolen hose are a necessity for far cold weather and for many t they e y may may be but if antics are worn on A ie e fe feet etoi out of dfora and good warm warm s shoes are worn wom all the time with the un under er I 1 garments garments to the ankles many people find nd a cotton stocking just as comfortable as a woolen one I 1 have tried both and find either one good enough there has been a great deal of controversy tro versy upon the subject of wearing garters suspended from the shoulders waist or only at the knee I 1 have tried all of them and prefer mine suspended from the shoulders they should not be too tight wherever they are A free play of limbs and body is what must be sought for and obtained our children THE BEHAVIOR OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE I 1 have yet to ask a parent of growing boys this question and have it answered in the affirmative do you teach your boys that it is wrong to attempt to put their arms around a young girl unless engaged to that girl the young man who does not try to take liberties with the girls with whom he associates is an anomaly Is not this a sure indication of the state of our society I 1 was rebuking a young girl the other day for going out with a young youn man not in this church ah 1 she reptiles rep re piled tiled he is the only one of my escorts who does not attempt to take liberties with me and he is a perfect gentleman do your mormon escorts try to hug you and kiss you I 1 asked in alarm 1 I should say they did was her emphatic reply and I 1 have to talk pretty sharply to them to prevent them from carrying out their purposes A kiss at the gate so this young girl informed me was considered the on y proper way of parting and the girls laugh at one of their number who dares to say openly that she would not accept such familiar attentions from young men d di daring claring their intentions of not driving off the boys by such silly prudery does not this make you stare my dear good sister and mother of growing boys and girls it made me gasp I 1 I 1 was talking to another girl some months ago indeed it was in the summer when bachin bathing in the lake was in vogue she WIT told me about the actions of some of our young men and another girl even brought in the names of married men who sought under cover of the water to take the vilest liberties with young girls out bathing I 1 have found in in my questions to my sunday school students a lack of knowledge upon this important subject many girls do not know there Is is an anything wrong in allowing the arm oba of a young man to be about their waist or even to slip up under their arms and I 1 wonder and wonder what their mothers and fathers are about that such ignorance can continue I 1 tell you that there is need in zion of some one to cry out from the watch tower that the freedom which precedes sin sin is is a growing evil among our young people it may not be considered proper to say this in public but I 1 feel that in no other wa way can this matter be so broadly reached as through the public press to you mother ot oy grown or half grown girls or boys I 1 say dont let this matter rest another day but take your children all alone and with the kindest and most loving persistency discover what their actions in this regard have been in the past use oll all the wisdom you can got get and of one thing be very sure sure that your att attention ePtion attention once having been aroused to the importance of this subject you must never rest until you know 0 of a surety your loved ones are shielded if sti T innocent and are rescued if they have been guilty then never relax your vigilance and what about the counsel which young people people should receive from their fathers if I 1 I 1 told the truth I 1 should say that the blame for the ignorance of our young men on this subject should rest upon the heads of their fathers for not all the responsibility of young peoples actions rests upon the mothers only the half of that te responsibility fathers where are your boys and what is their conduct towards young women our ailments constipation my friend the doctor says there is no complaint so common in utah as this thin one which I 1 have chosen to speak of in this paper to be sure we all know that the original cause of such a trouble as this lies in errors of diet and living but with all the strength of obstinacy we will cling to our suicidal habits of eating and drinking and then run to the doctors to help us up when nature disgusted prostrates prostrated pro strates us as a punishment for our sins of transgression people will eat white bread and if they take a of mush covered with cream and sugar in the morning they think in some vague way that they have thus appeased the god of health and that thereafter they are at liberty to sin against him as they please brown bread pure and simple should he be the i only bread made in in christian and especially mormon houses the word of wisdom says wheat is the food for man not three elements of that precious grain rain with the rest thrown away to the 6 hogs A great many think that the new process of rolling keeps in the other elements of wheat but you would not think so any more if you would go to the mill and see what is is discarded it is only a degree better and nothing which is so clearly a robbery of the stomach and body as this throwing away the most valuable elements of the wheat should be tolerated by latter day saints who pretend to lead the world in W enlightened knowledge well even then says my doctor some people have sinned so long that nature will never be able to do her proper work in their bodies and even brown bread will not ensure them from attacks of constina tion when cheese lean meat and new milk are too freely eaten so theft the question arises what shall we do when our sins find us out and we must have some help the doctor says that warm water injections relax the bowels and if persisted in will certainly paralyze the bowels cold water is far more preferable for that contracts and forces the bowels to act however there is one sure and safe remedy that can be used as frequently as needed without any after bad effects and it is as simple as can be go to the drug store or send to the city if you live out of town and procure what is called in america a glycerine syringe it is small ar and d has a bent tube put into this one teaspoonful of glycerine and add a teaspoonful of cold water if you wish and use it as an annema this acts like a charm and leaves no weakness behind it nor does it tend to force the patient to resort to the expedient any oftener than his own errors in diet force him into adopting it if a cathartic is needed in case of fever i ar in case of women who are confined or when the children have a cold and heed a gentle tonic and physic the doctor says there is nothing so safe and gentle itle as a pill of ca they can ae obtained at any aily drugstore drug store it is a vegetable preparation and those who wish to follow out the admonitions in flie doctrine and covenants need not hesitate because of the nature of the V medicine it is said that this preparation unlike all other cathartics does not require a larger and still larger dose but to is quite of the opposite e effect fact and the dose must be lessened all the time A few days of this treatment the dose constantly donst antly decreased will cure the most obstinate case A pill twice a day then once then only a half a pill then quit physical culture THE SWEDISH of all the systems that have reached the file heart of this nation that of the swede has been first and foremost this is fe due to one fact they require no apparatus and therefore no expenditure t ure of money all of the so called g gymnastics antics given in the schools are a adaptations from the swedish movements and most excellent they are too but they lack the unity that should characterize the perfect system of de and therefore we who are wise byise use them in their place the swedish assert that health is obtained and maintained only by increase of muscle and of muscular strength to tell a swede that there is such a thing as grace ace beauty of expression a divine harmony ln ny of motion to express emotion is isto to proclaim to him a doctrine that he will I 1 never accept if strength is ob bained health must follow says he and who vrho cares for the rest now the french assert that we use altogether too much muscular inus cular effort to accomplish the smallest exertion that the secret of health and motion is to learn how not to use strength rather than how to use the most possible exertion the disciples of each system quarrel though each is right and each is is wrong the truth of the matter is that wise human beings should know when to put forth muscular effort and when to relax the muscles that is what the sargent or american system is trying to teach and soon or late the shrewd americans will will see that they have masters who know whereof they speak and will quietly follow the lead ot of such men as dr sargent of bf harvard without question or comment to particularize for the benefit of those who have never seen the gymnastics or swedish movements performed anywhere I 1 will say that certain exercises which begin with light upward and downward outward and backward movements of the arms and legs are followed daily by an increasingly hig ly heavy and heavier exertion of the limbs and body until the joints are free imd and the muscles are extended to a remarkable Inar kable extent the swede begins and closes his exercises with vario various us breathing exercises than which bothin nothing 9 on can be better the movements are all angular and sudden all in stiff angles and rather quick time this is the exact opposite of the german and french which two move in circles and W a curves no angularity is allowed by the be german his hand if elevated is |
