CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts Of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use OF Inn
proper food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear q
stone away at last. so will the use Of
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss Of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle Of cause and effect In
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
