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 so, 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
