When the stomach Rebels

Champion Bag Puncher
When the stomach Rebels
Our stomach is our oldest friend and
most loyal servant, but there are times
when it reaches its limit of forbear-
ance.
The things we do to it would try the
patience of Job. and the foods We
shovel into our "long pocket" would
stop q sawmill or eat out the lining of
boiler.
Fortunately it has million years
experience in tackling the scrapings of
the whole landscape; everything that
wasn't too heavy to lift or too big to be
orsmmed into the mouth corner.wise.
Like Voltaire's Hsbbakuk. it is "capa-
BILE of anything" and will usually man
age to "get away with" almost anything
under two inches cube; but there
comes day when the last straw falls
on it's long suffering back and 1t ourls
up and plays dead or flares up in
colicky revolt.
1t is especially likely to go on q
hunger strike or war dance just about
this time of the year, as you may not
notice everything that you eat may
taste as it had been stewed in axle
grease. Then you get that hot box sem
sation in your interior, as if your giz-
zsrd bad turned into molten lead, and
you can fairly hear the ice water and
the soda fountain sizzle as they 90
down.
Now the main question is "What
causes this?" 1t is as simple as going
to bed at night, it has been written In
this paper many times in my weekly
articles. The average person overloads
the stomach, the best and most simple
remedy is to arise from meal feeling
that you are still q little bit hungry.
This is all the advice that will be
mentioned in reference to diet. My
next article in today's Star is SHOW
to GAIN weight" 1t has never been
mentioned by me in my articles in the
Star in show to GAIN weight" it has
been "HOW to REDUCE weight" To
develop the body, especially the figure
of lady, the thin should eat wisely,
breathe deeply, exercise ssnely, sleep
long and stop worrying.
A mere increase in the quantity of
the diet is not enough. you may be al
ready using up too much nervous force,
and your digestive machinery is badly
out of order, you should eat three good
meals every day, but any noarishment
taken between meals should be milk,
plain milk with lime water in it, or
some other nutriment that will not set
up q rebellion in the stomach The
THIN person especially needs fats
sweets and starches in the diet. They
can obtain these substances in such
foods as eggs, rice, olive oil, beans and
meat with the fat left on it. Egg-and
milk com mbinstions are particularly
beneficial. The THIN person will do
we'll to use as much cream as they can
digest. Also the THIN person should
avoid tea, coffee and alcohol, all of
which are stimulsnts and increase
your natural nervousness that 10 burn

you need not ever fear the candy box.
