again to ask:
Were you thinking of how your
brother Ben fell from n tree and broke
his neck? Poor Benz"
Mr. Bowser simply glared at her in
reply. 1t was a glare so icy cold that
IL would have kept the kitchen refrlg-
orator going for a week. Five or six
minutes passed, and then the gentle
man with the thrilling statistics rose
up with real groan and stood half
bent over, with hand on his stomach.
Hungry again. dear? | guess l can
find parsnip Gvound somewhere. If
not, I'm sure there's a head OF cabbage
IN the house."
"Suy-say--somethlng is gripping me
like blazes! I'll be hanged if'-
"You must be mistaken, Mr.. Bowser.
All you ate for dinner was raw
turnip and carrot, and nature sup
piled both for mans food Don't you
remember how good your stomach felt
when you got throughT
"But | tell you I've got n case of
colc" he shouted as he walked up
aud down. "Ouchl She's coming
faster and harder! DO something for
Inc or I'll be dead man within an
hour!
Don't alarm yourself, Mr.. Bowser.
You may have swallowed the stub of
your cigar when you gave that first
start or it may have come from getting
your feet little damp. 1t surely can't
come from the carrot and turuip. We
can't find n thing in the Bible about
natures food giving Adam the collie.
Shall | go down to the kitchen for the

pains.

And then the pain took hold of him
and turned him pale and brought the
sweat TO his forehead, and he stagger-
ed around and finally fell upon the
lounge and stretched out and groaned
"But what is it, dear? Did you step
on a tack or somethingp
"5tep on a tackl Good heavens,
can't you see that | am twisted up in
knots with bilious collcT"
But 1t can't be that she protested
bilious collie comes from eating some
thing that is indigestible. You ate
nothing for dinner except turnip and
n carrot-nature's foods Adam and
Eve ate the same things, and like
| enough some raw potatoes and corn
stalks on top OF them, and yet they

Mr.. Bowser heard, but did not reply.

and he determined to die on the spot
before utteriug another groan. The
pains ceased for a moment, and he be-
gan TO plan how to make Mrs Bow
ser's heart ache, but before he had
perfected anything his knees were
suddenly drawn up to his chin and he
was forced to indulge in sort of war.
whoop. Then she went to the tele-
phone and called up the doctor and
asked him 10 come in haste. AS she
returned to the vegetarian he asked in
n weak voice:
"Do you think ! am going to die"
"Why should you" she replied. "If
you had been eating roast beef, mashed
potatoes, rice pudding and such things
It would be different, and | should say
that nothing could save you, but you
only INDUCED in the food that gave
Adam the strength to take elephants
by the tail and swing them around his
head. Oh, no! The rest of us may die
Off but you will live on"
Fifteen minutes later the doctor ar
rived. He struck the trail at once, and
when he had eased the pains somewhat
he asked:
"See here BOwser, what nonsense
have you been up to now?"
IL ate n carrot and turnip for
dinner"
you ass! Why didn't you eat your
shoes TO finish up on?"
Doctor, he has decided TO return TO
natures foods" said Mrs. Bowser.
"Oh, he has, has he? Well, the next
time he tries this thing on he can call
some other doctor. / don't include
