Some people, unknowingly
Use up more energy
Digesting heavy foods
Taken in excess, than they
exert
In doing their regular work.
Why not economic energy?
It means the capacity
To accomplish more.
And that means more money.
Change off from a heavy
Meat and pancake breakfast to
Some Grape Nuts and cream,
A soft boiled egg or two,
Some nice, crisp toast,
A cup of well-made Postum.

Which is a pleasure of itself.

Heike must have had knowledge OF

Invariably IL was found that the trust
had been charged too much duty and
treasury warrants for the difference
were drawn.
