Starchy food is not dgested in the
upper stomach, but passes on into the
duodenum, or lower stomach and in
testines, where, in healthy Individual,
the transformation of the starch into
form of sugar is completed and then
the food absorbed by the blood.
But if the powers of digestion are
weakened, a part of the starchy food
will lie in the warmth and moisture Of
the body and decay, generating gases

til under such conditions the whole low
er part Of the alimentary canal, includ-
ing the colon and the appendix be-
comes involved. Disease sets up and
at times takes the form known as APP
pendicitis.
When the symptoms of the trouble
make their appearance, would it not be
good, practical, common sense, to dis
continue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take a food in
which the starch has been transformed
into a form of sugar in the process of
manufacture?
This is identically the same form Of
sugar found in the human body after
starch has been perfectly digested.
Now, human food is made UP very
largely of starch and is required by tho
body for energy and warmth. Natural

details above recited. that preventative
measures are far and away the best.
Are we to be condemned for suggest

given in the morgue itself and attended

the town.
Collins served equally as tables and
seats for the guests; sandwiches were
served ON coffin plates, coffee was
drunk out of tins similar to those used
for emhalming fiuid, and the cold joints
were imposingly and temptingly ar
ranged on the cold slabs which were
later destined to receive dead bottles.
