FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom Of Stomach Trouble Cor
rected by Good Food.

There is. with some forms of stom-
ach trouble, an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken for
good appetite" A lady teacher
writes from Carthage, Mo, to ex-
plain how with good food she dealt
with this sort of hurtful hunger.
II have taught school for fifteen
years, and up to nine years ago had
good, average health. Nine years ago,
however. my health began to fail,
and continued to grow worse steadily,
in spite of doctors prescriptions, and
everything could do. During all this
time my appetite continued good. only
the more ! ate the more | wanted to
eat-I was always hungry.
The first symptoms of my break
down were distressing nervousness
and loss of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally it amounted to
actual prostration. Then came stom-
ach troubles. which were very painful,
constipation which brought on piles,
dyspepsia and severe nervous head
aches.
The doctors seemed powerless to
help me, said | was overworked. and
at last urged me to give up teach

But this ] could not do. ! kept on
at 1t as well as could, each day grow
ing more wretched, my will-power
alone keeping me up. till at last

OF Grape-Nuts food. and from that
day to this / have found 1t delicious
always appetizing and satisfying.
Il owe my restoration to health to
Grape-Nuts. My weight has returned
and for more than two years | have
been free from the nervousness, con-
stipation, piles, headaches, and all the
ailments that used to punish me so.

REGARD ALCOHOL AS POISON
In Some Cases Gives Little Evidence
Of Presence Until Strain Is Put

DR.. Howard Dickinson. in an article
in the Lancet, on the relative impor-
lance of exciting and predisposing
causes in disease, expresses very de-
cided opinions on the question of al
coholism in relation to tuberculosis.
Thirty years ago, he says, in the
course of some inquiries on the path
illogical effects of alcohol, l came up
on evidence, which appeared to me
conclusive and which has influenced
later medical opinion, to the effect
that this agent does not prohibit but
encourages the growth of tubercle
With view of ascertaining the ef-
fects of alcohol in the production of
organic disease ! applied myself to the
admirable records of this hospital and
by their means instituted detailed

appearances of persons whose occu-
pations had to do with liquor-brew-

needless to observe, was not between
liquor and no liquor. one difficult to

ton, but between more and less, based
on the fundamental character OF the
Anglo-Saxon. The records to which I
have referred presented in thirty
years the post-mortem examinations
of 149 traders In drink. to which
opposed the same number of post-mor-
tenn examinations OF persons not SO oc-
cupied. The results with regard to
tubercle were striking. or the alco-
holic sixty-one had tubercle of the lung
and of the non-alcoholics forty-four.
With regard to other organs and struc-
lures liable to tubercle-the brain. the
liver, the kidneys. the spleen, the bow
els. the mesenteric glands. and the
peritoneum, every one of these In the
alcoholic class displayed tubercle at
least twice as often as in the non
alcoholic. Nothing could be more con-
sistent in assocIating tubercle with
drink.

remarks:
Alcohol. then, must be looked upon
as a poison. sometimes acting alone
at others assisting the poisons Of dis
ease-producing organisms, or again
acting along with the waste products
Of the body. 1t may in certain cases
give little evidence of Its presence un.
til some extra strain is thrown upon
the organism. but when that extra
strain comes the parts and tissues that
have been affected by alcohol are the
first to give way. Those who take al
cohol are reducing the margin of their
reserve to a limit that may be too
small for any extra and special call
that may be made upon 1t. 1t is for
this reason that insurance companies
are SO anxious to obtain total abstain
ers as policy holders. and that they
look with 10 per cent. suspicion up
on those who do ont abstain from the
use of alcohol. however moderately
they may use It.

TAKOMA PLACES
BAN ON FOWLS
Regarded as a Nuisance by
the Town Council.

Many residents of Takorha Park, Md,
to-day will either sell or kill their fowls,
or change the location OF their chicken
cOOps. Last night the town council
quietly gathered, and decided, after
slight discussion, that hereafter chickens,
ducks, guineas, geese, and, in short, all
fowls must not be kept within seventy
five feet Of any dwelling house other
than that Of the owner of the fowls.
The ordinance was introduced by H.
E. Rogers, chairman OF the health and
sanitation committee. Many protests
rom residents of the little town were
read. to prove that chickens are gener-
ally considered a nuisance.
Mayor Platt was strongly opposed to
the measure being a proud owner of
fowls himself. He said. emphatically
that chickens are not a nuisance and
that II they are so considered by any
person. the case should be brought up
separately an prosecuted, and that all
the people should not be made 70 suffer
The regula tiOn, which was finally passed
provides for a fine of from S to $50 for
violation OF the law
The council authorized the mayor to
enter into a contract for lighting the
town by electricity. The cost is not to
exceed $500 a year. The report of the
town treasurer showed that there is a
balance of $5.G61 on hand
