FEEDING THE WORKER.

■ Some remarks made recently by a woman,, doctor, (says a Melbourne paper) are specially .worthy of attention at this tnno of year when tho after-effects of colds and influenza lead to talk regarding "that tired' feeling," / over which .the-truly, fit arc ever, ready,to make 'merry. _ "Tonics," she'! says, '"are often 'too much. like - spurs, .applied to the 'jaded horse," ■ What.,'mothers, as well as other.'women, have got to remember, is. that cream is quite as effectual, as, and. considerably ,cheaper; thaii, many.,much-advertiscd,tonics; that' spinach contains iron, and that celery: arid eaten with' good,rich white .sauce, are. worth' .many dq?es ; of medicine, ' which, while'they do' good in. one..airectioß, .an* other.. Hot.milk,Hakeh i by;the''wih<igl'ass' full*:, acts .as promptly, as Spirits, '.and; is .infinitely more beneficial in its results than any form' of alcohol." The bread and jam.or bread and butter lunch of the majority of : working girls she specially ■ condemns.' Brown bread and honey arc, she maintains,' as efficacious and as strength-supplying as malt extract., In ; the homo the supp.ementing of tho usual'. supplies with more tt'i.lk, more cream,, more butter, more eggs, more vegetables, and more honey, will in the e.ifl, cost very much less than, doctors' bills and. medicines. True economy lies in the;' appreciation, of food ,values, and judi-ciously-fed people aro rarely those who make lifo a bright and pleasant thing for the chemist. . . „
