Largely used in Oriental
countries and is one of their
principal articles of diet. It
was from these that the dish
of pottage was made and for
which Esau sold his birth-
rlglit to Jacobin Bible times,
and many will be interested
in them forlhatreason. They
are in growth similar to peas
and may be used in any way
that you would use shelled
beans, and they also make an
excellent soup. Sow and cultivnte same as
garden peas and thresh out in the fall. All
should try them.

TAKE SUN BATHS. Where the sun does not go, there goes the doctor. Ail sorts of diseases, from consump- tion down, are mitigated or cured by sunlight and pure air. Watch for the sun, for life and health dwell in the sun's beams; and when it is shining, open every window in the house until it goes down again. There is every reason to believe that the germs of such dis- eases as scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid fever and other such deadly enemies, are en- tirely deslro3ed by strong sunlight. Not only, however, has the sun the power uf making germs die, but it isequally endowed with the
potency of making men live. Let every man and woman make sure that not only them- selves, but also their children and their ser- vants, shall have the fullest opportunities of taking in unlimited quantities of the inexpen- sive life-giving sunshine. — 7X^ Hospital,
HOW I GOT CONTROL OF MY APPETITE. I quit eating meat, drinking and smoking, all at the same time, short off. Went throngh three different fasts, the first one thirty-six hours, the next sixty hours, the last one twelve days. I lost twenty pounds in twelve days, drank two gallons of distilled water, walked seven or eight miles each day and broke the fast by eating one-half pint of parched horse corn. After five days yon lose your appetite. I went through the three fasts inside of six months. I weighed each day after the second day and lost abont three-quarters of a pound each day, I have no regular hours to eat. I eat whenever I am hungary and according to my appetite. If I work hard I need more food, there- fore eat more.— J. H, Freeman, Catalina Island, Cal.
NUTS, GRAINS & FRUIT. I advocate living on nuts, fresh tincooked fruits and mainly on nngronnd, uncooked wheat. Destroying life-germs of food, other than by our own act of thoroughly masticat- ing it for assimulation in our own bodies, seems to me to be wrong if we desire the high- est life giving, pure food standard. The sides of the highways of our country, owned by the whole people, should be planted with food, trees, shrubs and bushes, wheat, etc: city parks and boulevards should also be so util- ized to form a paradise and furnish food (pure) for every one in abundance. La- bor would then be free to build better houses, earn better clolhing and gain higher educa- tion. I expect to make a journey entirely around the world living on the whole nn- ground, uncooked wheat and ]>ure water alone. — H. Alden Spencer, 50 E. 9th St., New York.
