Eating before Sleeping.
Our forefathers did not need to ca
just before retiring, because the tim
between their evening meal and bedtim
was of short duration. I)ul thousand
of weak people to-day let teveral hour
elapse between their evening meal am
bedtime, aud during this interval tb
stomach gets empty. From this time 01
until the breakfast the stomach is entire

i y iifu immii nit iuvmi, auvt nu.i ?viu
grtat|y to the nightly emaciation, slecy
lossness and general wakefulness. It wn
considered au unpardonable sin again?
our Btomuchs to eat before retiring i
earlier days, but the proof of medical e.i
perienco shows now that there are mor
people beuclited by eating some ligli
food before retiring thin those who ar
injured by it. A little common scn3c wil
easily demonstrate to one whether catin
before sleeping benefits him. The pei
petual disintegration of the tissues, whic!
goes ou at all times, must lie made up fo
by supplying the body with pleuty c
nutriment. Food taken into the atom
achat nigh' is belter assimilated, au
does moro good than that which is take
in the daytime, when violent cxorcis
tends to counteract its good. Food wil
digest when one is sleeping, but t!i
I great fault is that people do not kuo

emaciated persons improv

it is overloaded injury follows. Stoi
aud fat people should avoid foodatnigl
and their weight would be greatiy r<
duced. Weak and emaciated pcop
should cat a little of easily digested foe
before retiring, ami their geueral weigl
would be increased. Many arise in tl
morning with a hitler, sour taste in tl
month, unci they attribute tins to tl
food they ate before retiring. This co:
elusion is logical ami true. The retuuJ
is not to take that kind of food again, h
try some other kind until that whit
