It is claimed that the galluses are
disappearing as feature of the ap'
parel. They are not artistic, and GER
tainlv not aristocratic; that Is what Is
claimed. The idea is that If trousers
is properly cut and fitted it sets so
neatly on the hips that it needs nc
support. and therefore the presence OF
suspenders indicates that the mans
apparel is the work of cheap tailor.
which is certainly not aristocratic.
If suspenders are to go, there is q
better reason than this, and that is tx
the trick of the trade that leaves a
weak point in the suspenders-a place
that is always breaking and annoying
the wearer until his patience is gone.
Then he gets belt and goes without
suspenders, out of pure disgust. He
would rather hitch up his trousers
than tie up his galluses.
But this article of apparel is not dis
appearing-not as long as ready-mads
clothing is the joy of most men. Tbs
suspenders necessarily go with this
habit, since the kidlike adjustment
about the hips is impossible

nished TO 1t.

There is the most intimate relation
between the condition Of the blood and
the activity of the stomach. The blood
depends upon the stomach for o large
part of its nourishment; while every
act4of digestion, from the time the food
enters the stomach until it is digeste3
and assimilated by the blood, needs
plenty of pure, well-oxidized blood.
The stomach works only according 20
the quality of the blood.
The most common cause OF 1ndiges-
iion is an6emia, or lack Of blood. H.
deed there is not 2 single disturbance OF
the health Of the body nor any form Of
exhaustion or lowered vitality, tha5
may not lead to stomach trouble. Dis
ordered blood is the one common cause
of Indigestion. Thin, impure blood
Weakens the muscles of the stomach
