Stomach-AdvIce Which Applies to
Grown Folks Well as Babes.

there is nothing absolutely more i'm
portant than this one thing-to teach
it to eat slowly.
Every groom knows and observes the
rule in the care of a horse that rapid
rating Is fatal to digestion. There are
eli sorts Of patent managers to prevent
the horse swallowing his oats too
quickly. The man who has no patent
mIngcr knows enough, when neces-
sary, to put stone in the manager,
scattering the oats around it, SO that
the horse may be compelled to eat
slowly If the horses inclination is
10 .ulp down water too fast, the care
FIJI man will pat Il big sponge in the
water, compelling slow drinking.

lowed TO cat rapidly, is always in ex-
cess Of his actual needs unless the
child is in bad health. The reason for
this is extremely simple The child
Graves food because his body requires
to manufacture new tissue. He is
