FEEDING ON HOLIDAY.

BY A HARLEY STREET SPECIALIST. As the arrangement of meals is an important factor in the beridfifc of a holiday, iiere is a little advice on the subject. Those who lead physically active lives at home and are taking a restful holiday should be carefuL nob to overeat, this being a common danger. There is ample leisure for excessive meals, and the purchase of dainties, including sweetstuffs that are highly : concentrated food, is a common practice at holiday time. Those who have been overworking at a sedentary occupation are specially like y to suffer from faulty digestion at a part of their generally lowered vitality. ihese should " go slow," increasing their meals only as their, vigour and appetite return with gradually increased exercise. Youngsters on holiday from school come under a different heading, of course. They require- rather mora food than usual. -As they probably have had too little frmt and vegetables at school, fruit is a better form of treat for them than sweets._ The holidays are, in fact, an opportunity for partly compensating for the faulty school diet.
