The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
1t a sun bath to sweeten 1t. She knows
that If her churn is sour 1t will faint the
butter that is made in It. The stomach Is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is 1t not apparent
then that If this stomach-ohurn is foul 1t
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption Of
the pure current OF blood and the dissem-
lnation of disease throughout the body.

1t does for the stomach what the washing

removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
