Sustenance —Diet for Invalids T' GO ASTRAY Registered Mail Addressed Chi' cago Found in SmaJI Ken- v uA iv f Utica N Y— Professors from the state agricultural schools are scouring the country far and wide in automobiles with stenographers by their sides working a new "uplift” propaTheir primary object they ganda say is to induce more farmers to send their sons to school To accomplish this the learned and industrious teachers are offering regular r prices to the ruralists Incidentally the state educators are accumulating material for an dictionary or glossary of farm slang and bucolic dialect A representative of the agricultural co'' i at St Lawrence university who was In Lowville the other day said he had picked up more queer word3 among the farmers of Lewis county than he ever dreamed were in existence The state board of regents it is said is considering plans for a Standard of farm slang as it Is slung at the "uplifters” The professors with their automobiles and stenographers ride out into the fields and "chin” with the farmer and his help while they cut the hay or pick the cucumbers The idea is to "get the atmosphere” of farm life and to give to the farmer a chance to get into close and sympathetic com munion with the proselytes of agri cultural science Then wheg a professor gets a farmer Interested he brings out the goods which in this case is a course in the agri cultural school The teaching is free the only expense being for board and a levy books The board for students at Canton for instance runs from $350 to $450 a week There are no educational requirements and any young man with a limited school education is eligible for the course This is considered a good opportunity for a young man on a farm to obtain a practical education at very In fact a young man small expense may enter at any time during the school year and for a period of only three months This is because many young men can not leave the farmB before the first of November and must be back there by about the first of March The farmers are getting more fun than the professors out of the "uplift” tour They are quick to “josh” the professors and give them all sorts of excuses for keeping their "boys" on the farm Poverty is their commonest plea One old farmer who told Prof H E Cook he was "too hard up it to buy taters to plant” winked at his wife as the professor departed then hopped the barnyard fence and got out his own gasoline runabout which had been standing out of sight He slipped on his under the shed new gray coat and auto cap and was soon whirling by the unsuspecting professors in a cloud of dust It XV xixx NUTRIMENT FIRST CONSIDERATIONS is 8 s About biles with LETTERS V WOMEN Certainly in this age when so much thought and time is given to the feeding of live stock and so much attention is given to the right nutriment for plants we should be able to lay down the principles which govern the diet of human beings Mrs Helen Richards tells us “that the health and morals of a people depend mainly upon the food they eat and the homes they live In Strong men and women cannot be raised on insufficient food good tempered temperate highly moral raen cannot be expected from a race which eats badly cooked food Irritating to the digestive organs and unsatisfying to the Wholesome and palatable appetite food is (the first step In good morals and is Conducive to ability In business skill In trade and healthy tone In literature" If the preparation of food is such a problem for those In health how much more thought and stress must be laid upon the food we prepare for the Invalid It has been said that of all ilia that flesh is heir to are caused by abuse of the diet The man of average weight (150 pounds) at hard labor requires more food than the man at moderate work The climate age and state of health affects the diet In arranging menus for individuals or families personal Idiosyncrasies must be considered as "One man’s meat is another man’s poison" The diseases ‘which occur after middle life are often due to the habit of eating and drinking such foods as were indulged in during early life During illness the food plays a very important part toward the recovery There are a few points well to remember in preparing a menu for an invalid Appeal first to the sight A dainty tray with an appetizing bit of food tastefully arranged and garnished will call up an appetite which seemed entirely lacking Then the sense of taste must be appealed to in order to have the food do the most good as a tasty dish is easier digested Serve all cold foW cold and hot food hot Food easy of digestion should be chosen with due consideration for the disease of the patient and its nutritive value “Food well cooked is partially digested” NELLIE
