If the stomach is overworked, its
muscles become tired and gradually
grow weaker and weaker, until they are
unable to take care of the food proper
w. The glands fail to provide the
Juices necessary to digest the food.
Gases form and cause all sorts of pain
misery and wretchedness. well as ex-
treme danger to the heart.
1t is then that the stomach calls for
help. Ordinary medicines are impos-
sible. They not only fail to help the
stomach but injure the entire system.
Medical men have studied the stomach
and have discovered that the digestive
juices consist largely of pepsin. hydro
chloric acid and heterogeneous ferments.
What, then. would be more natural
than to supply these properties arti-
ficia1ly when the stomach is unable TO
produce them?

1.-THE OTHER half"
Startling Conditions Brought
to Light by Nurses.
Topeka PrOvident Association
Is Relieving the Sick.
HAVE FAMILY TOOTH BRUSH
Frequently One Brush Suffices
for Entire Household.
Faces and Blankets Often Color
of the Floor.

The visiting nurses department of
the Provident Association have brought
to light some interesting facts as to
how the other half in Topeka lives.
In a large percentage of cases of sick
ness brought to the attention of the
department housing conditions are de-
plorable.
The family tooth brush is fire.
quently an article used occasionally
by each member of a household Like
wise a brush and comb is made to
suffice for many a family. Not a few
mothers keep the common comb tuck
ed away in their hair, and upon the
demand of a member of the house
hold produce it for use.
A visiting nurse recently called at
house where a boy was suffering from
an attack of pneumonia.
You must see that your boys teeth
are washed thoroughly" said the nurse
to the mother of the victim of disease.
Il haven't a tooth BRUSH" was the
reply.
We'll, it will be necessary for you
to get one
Then I'll get one-and all for him
self too!"
They Do Not Undress.
A large percentage of the persons
visited by the nurses do not trouble
to remove their clothes when they re-
tire at night-that is in the winter
months. Many or them use no sheets;
others Just one, and not infrequently
they sleep on the mattress. Their faces
and their blankets are often one color
the color of the floor. One-half of
the families visited possess just one
bed. And goodness knows said q
visiting nurse, "how many people sleep
in that bed. Certain members of the
family simply roll up in sacks and rags
on the floor.
Nurse Tells of Conditions
Much sickness in the winter can
be traced to lack of proper Ventila-
ton. The windows are usually kept
closed. If they are open an eighth of
an inch the inmates of the house
think that enough ventilation. Often
when there are just two rooms in a
house there is sacking between the
rooms to prevent a much feared
draught. Particularly where there
are persons suffering from pneumonia
or tuberculosis do we find the ten
dency to keep the windows closed.
AT one place that 1 visited the
family possessed a talking machine of
an expensive make, a sewing machine
and telephone; there were no night
gowns in the house, nor were any
sheets used.
MANY of these people just live
from hand to mouth. They buy
enough food to last for a meal or
two only. and to save trouble in cook
