I Grinilell, Dec 31.--The whistles blew
at noon today announcing the passing
of the $4,000 mark on the endow-
ment fund, and victory is in sight,
with only $4,000 yet to be raised by
'12 Dol ock tonight, and small army
of solicitors in the field even to driv-
ing the country highways within thir-
ty miles of the town. Grinnell COL
lege will receive an additional endow-
rnent fund Of half a million having
complied with the Carnegie and Rock
efeller conditions and claiming their
$4,000 and 100000 respectively on top
of the sS5O,o00 just raised by the most
heroic effort ever. expended by any
college or any community. The income
from this new endowment will give the
college $4,000 per year annually here
after and the advertisement given the
needs of the school will result in a
quarter of a million more voluntary
contributions within the next ten years.
For the past ten days this comnu-
nifty has beer raked and scraped With
a finer toothed comb. Former contrib
1uions have been raised and any sum
accepted gladly, from $40 to $1,000.
Slowly but gradually the gap has been
closed from $4,000 to $4,000. then to
s2S,000, then $4,000, and finally to $13,-
600. With absolute assurance that

ling is Harmful
Systems demand Va
iety as Well as Quantity
of Food.
{ MUST NOT sTARvE STOMACH
Tells How Dieting Dries Up
Gastric Juice and Leads
Eventually to Chronic
Constipation
MUST NOT s1ARvE STOMACH

Three reasons have recently beer
advanced in support of the belief THAI
dieting is harmful
First, the digestive system employs
. separate agent for the digestion
OF proteids, fats and starches. While
normally these are all in constant
use, in dieting some of them are nee
essarily Idle. Nevertheless they are
eecreted as usual for awhile, and their
presence gives rising to that indefin-
able "gnawing,' or yearning for
something" you know not what
This gnawing or empty" stomach is
q sign OF partial starvation, and should
be appeastsd. If not stimulated the
glands which secret unused juices dry
up In the course of time; with the con,
sequence that it is difficult to get them
working properly again.
In the second place, after the food
has been prepared for assimilation by
the digestive processes and taken in
to the Emphatic system, the muscles,
the bones, the brain, the blood-each
demands its special nutriment. The
muscles demand proteids; the blood
iron; the bones, lime; the brain,
phosphate mo one food or class Of
foods can supply them all. Ut takes
. well-rounded diet to supply the hui
man body and keep 1t in normal con-
dition, since an insufficiency OF any
one food element means starvation
for the, bodily organs and functions
dependent upon it.
Again, for the third reason, dieting
causes constipation In this way. The
bowels are formed to respond to a
normal quantity OF waste. They are
accustomed to react to q given guam
tity Of unassimilated matter. The
reason. why graham bread often at
sforxls relief from constipation Is that
It contains a large amount OF hbrous
material which is not digested in the
stomach. but passes into the intestines
and in measure sirritates" them to
activity. A person on restricted
diet does not provide his intestines
with "a sufficient quantity OF such
matter. Consequently the waste re-
mains in the intestines to ferment. ru-
trify and become genuinely poisonous.
Variety OF diet oYercomes this, and
constitutes the, only euro for chronic
constipation.
On the other hand, for many peo-
pie It is impossible at times to eat
variety OF food without great dis
tress. In such cases IT Is necessary
to administer an alkaline elixir or neu-
tralixing mixture to correct activity,
stimulate the secretions, check the
poisonous fermentation and help the
stomach carry out its duties.
The following formula has been
suggested ak providing a good neu
trahzing cordial for the purpose: Half
ounce sodium phosphate, ! ounce es-
sence OF sealmint, half teaspoonful good
baking soda, enough water to make 81
ounces. Dose: Two teaspoonfuls be-
fore each meal. s s,
& This can be mixed up at home or
made up by any druggist. 1t ought
not to cost more than so or IS cents.
1t has been claimed that this mixture
will relieve gas imme diately and will
cure the worst case within two weeks
by enabling the dyspeptic ITO give his
system the variety of food 1t demands. !,
