THE WoRKINGMAN,s FOOD

The man who tolls hard all day
needs strengthening food. A lot
of meat is not essential to nour-
ish and sustain the system.
A 10c package Of Faust Spa
ghetti contains more nutrition
than 4 TBS of beef. Faust Spa
ghetti is made from Durum
Wheat, the cereal that overfows
in gluten-the food-content that
makes muscle, bone and flesh.
Faust Spaghetti costs one
tenth the price of meat-con-
tains more nutrition-is easier
digested and makes a savory, ap-
petizing dish. Write for free re-

Fortunate is the one who can eat
anything" without suffering the tor
lures of dyspepsia, but as few are so
fortunate care should be taken in the
matter of diet. Eating slowly, masti-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
a short walk after the heavy meal of
the day will do much toward assist
ing digestion. Any groWnup person
ought to know the peculiar foods that
do not agree, and these should be
avoided.
When these common sense aids fail,
the next thing to do is to take a mild
digestive tonic with laxative proper
ties, and there is none better than
DIR. Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin. 1t con-
tains the greatest of all aids to di

Governor o'Neal, in discussing this aft

clared that before such a course could
be pursued constitutional amendment
would be necessary
The interview with Governor o'Nea1
was Judged timely on account of the
recently developed scandal in the adj
lministration of the state convict de-
partment.
That at the present time, the removal
of the convcts from the mines. even

Istitutional amendment would seriously
embarass the state from a financial
standpoint, is unquestonably true; but
since the disappearance of Clerk Lacy
with the convict fund amounting TO
more than 100000, there seems to be
prevalent among members of the legs-
lature an inclination to lay predicate
on which in the future the convicts
might be removed from the mines and
put to the task of constructing mag

would not be foolhardy to attempt the
