Dear NJ. b. Friends:

Dear NJ. e. Friends:
Pm not sure but the poem is right in the
line OF the stomach question that has been
discussed in the column, although the clip
ping was received before that subject was
presented. Quite likely "the chief cause
of that poor mans trouble WAS indiges-
ton. l am sorry that in this world OF
good things to- eat so many have felt
Obliged to deny themselves the pleasure
one can derive in eating good So bstantiai
meal. Z
In some cases l have thought, or per-
haps imagined, it was fear as much as
dyspepsia that caused them to restain
their appetites, and have wondered II the
stomach couldn't be "ba bied'' to such an
extent it would get out OF doing the actual
work for which it was constructed.
Nevertheless, a wholesome respect Tor the
digestive organs, which would lead one to
consideration in regard to supplies con-
signed to their care, might save con-
siderahl trouble to all parties concerned
meaning the stomach and its owner.

One day Ed C. Ford received a bill. 1t
was for gas used by his wife and the

Mr.. Ford, in telling the story of his
domestic intelicity, referred to the
bill. =
