NO MEDICINE
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry. potatoes. oats, etc.
these things are digested in the small
intcstines. and if we eat too much. as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, 80 that fermenta-
ton, indigestion. and a long train Of
ails result.
Too much fat also Is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids. sour
stomach, belching gas, and bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from

the distress but in building up a

WHERE FARMER DOES NOT SPECIALIZE
LITTLE ATTENTION IS PAID TO QUALITY
Result Is That On Vast Number Of Farms Where No MIX
Cream or Butter Is Sold Cows Are Mostly lnferic-
Poor Foundation for Success

Unless We are actively engaged in
the dairy business, or raising beef
cattle. we are not apt to pay much
attention to the quality and money
value of our cows on the farm. The
result of this is that on a vast num-
ber OF farms where no milk. cream or
butter is sold. the cows are mostly in
ferior
OF course, this is no reference to
the men who go In for beef breeds OF
cattle rather than dairy breeds But
there are a great many men, who
do more or less In the dairy line. and
who nevertheless keep inferior stock
says writer In the Farm Progress.
In most cases think it likely this is
due to the fact that the owners Of
such stock are not sufficiently ia
miliar with cows and COW values to bo

OF course. this fact interferes with

no family, no matter how well they

Personally. like both pork and

every farmers club ought surely to
have as good beef as can be had any

that Joe Cohen, the onl yother large

J. Alfred Magoon and his family

OF the scattering stock Mr.. Cong
