A MEXICAN Tradition,

"Boys, what's the matter? Fever!
DIE. then; die, then" That's the song
the doves sing down in old Mexico
when native has pneumonia, and
almost invariably he lies down, refuses
to swallow the medicine prescribed by
the physician, resigns himself to his
fate and in few weeks he dies. The
dove, however, sings the song in Span
lsh. 1t is tradition among the Mex.
leans that once the fever accompany
ing an attack of pneumonia seizea
them 1t is necessarily fatal, and be-
cause of this all medicine and all ply.
sicians are refused and the Mexican
usually dies. The dove brings the
story Of death In its weird cooling, ac-
eording to the belief of the natives,
and many who have been seized with
the fever who otherwise might have
recovered have succumbed owing to
their belief in the tradition. That Is
the reason, II is said, why pneumonia
Is fatal to SO many Mexicans.-New

Neither can you feel good if by some
little irregularity in eating you have
caused the stomach to get out of
order. These little stomach troubles
are signs of indigestion, which may
and very often do turn into a very
bad case of dyspepsia. Don't allow
this to go on a single day without
