GAMBLING WITH DEATH,
What Many of Us Are Doing Three
Times a Day.

For everything we get something is
taken away. Every act pulls two
ways. Some men in power dole out
their souls for it. They can't have
soul and power at the same time.
And Sc, in this quick-living age, most
of us can't have energy and health at
the same time. One or the other must t
be lost, and it is usually health.
We know we are doing wrong and
would like to reform, but we have a
| morbid fear of being laughed at if we
aim to live and eat according to con-
science ana good sense.
Some of us break away for awhile
| and enslave ourselves to a diet. We
read about the hardy Scotsman being
| fed an porridge and oatcake. making
| soldiers of muscle and dash, and how
Caesars army was fed on corn. But
| the diet doesn't last long. We quick
| ly swing back into the great line. eat =
| ing and drinking to fulness like the
| rest, eating anything and everything
at any time. and any way we find it,
| We say what is n stomach for if it
| isn't to obey the palate"
But there is really no one rule ap-
piicable to eVerybody'S stomach. What
| one man may eat another may not.
| But the dyspeptic should remember
| that the death list has a dark shadow
| lowering over it with a long bony fin
| ger pointing to died of heart disease. -
| Physicians will tell us that there are
I few cases Of heart disease that do not
