The school-room was vcry nicely de- corated with evergreen by the teach- er and pupils for the occasion. There was present twenty-nine scholars and about the same number of visitors. _ The pupils were examined in the dif- ferent subjects of study by their teacher, Miss Mary Mclsaac assisted by Miss Beatrice Fitzgerald, tcxtclier in Woodstock school. The prompt and accurate answers given hy the pupils to the questions asked them showed "that they were \ip to the required stand- ard of the several grades. After the examination was over a very nice programme consisting of songs reci- tations and dialogues was rendered hy the pupils. Visitors and pupils were then treated to confectionery and the teacher thanked the visitors for their attendance. The examina- tion was brought. to a close by the singing of the National Anthem, all departing to their homes feeling it was an afternoon wcll spent by- old and young alike. _ FOOD FOR THE AGED Libraries have been written on diets for business men and actresses, but little thought has' been given what aged .people should eat. "Suporli\I.e'nd- ents of homes for the aged show ab- solute ignorance of the diet that sen- ile changes necessities," writes Dr. l. L. Nasher in the Medical Review of Reviews. With advaiicing age there is less strength and act-lvity. For these rea- sons the amount of food should be di- minished. The loss of teeth in old ago .is nature’g signal that an aged person should no longer eat meat, the only food that needs to be thoroughly rims- ticated. “It is not necessary suddenly to discontinue the use of meat. There should bo a gradual reduction, ang only the light meat of young\anlmul and fowl should be taken." There is no definitely prescribed dict. for old age. but there are a few rules' that can be followed. The total amount of food must be diminished lt must be thoroughly cooked and line- ly chopped. Vegetables containing much cellulose should be freely used. Foods should be given in a liquid, se- mi-liquid or mush form, and dry foods should he avoided. Foods should not be given at shorter intervals than four or five hours. Montreal. N. B. Green Mount- ains $200 P E Island, $190 Que $2.40 to $2.50; N. B. $2.45 to $2.50 and -J.
