DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be 80, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying mis-
cries.
A Phila. lady said:
my husband and / have been sick
and nervous for 15 or 20 years from
drinking coffee-feverish, indigestion,
totally unfit, a good part of the time,i
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals. (Tea is
just as injurious, because'it 1t contains
caffeine, the same drug found in cof-
