eggs every twenty-four hours. Each
lays an egg some time in the day and
then about midnight each lays an
other Then the lights are extinguisht
ed by the management so the ambitious
fowls can get some sleep.

perhaps who first used 1T. Plutarch at.

is, as be tells it, that when Caesar
came to a little town in passing the
Alps one of his friends said in jocu-

putes for Offices, any contentious for
precedence or such envy and ambition
as we see among the create" To which
Caesar answered very seriously, II as

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural funds known as
the digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat is
acted upon in such a way as to pro-
duce the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins of our body and
thereby makes us strong, healthy
and robust, and it is the weakening
of these digestive juices that destroy
health. 1t is our own fault il we
destroy our own health, and yet it
is so easy for any one to put the
stomach out Of order. When you
need to take something take it
promptly, but take something you
know is ieliable-something like
