Hunger W. Appetite.
By DIR. r, r. Daniels.

Not every sensation that we interpret
as hunger is real call for food by the
various tissues Of the body; In fact. many
times the call to meals is simply an irri-
tation of the stomach due to digestive
disorders. Many appetites are abnormal
Inssmuch as our food supply is governed
largely by our desire, and upon our food
supply depends, to q great extent, our
health and comfort. it is quite import
ant that we recognize the real call for
food, and that we develop a normal
hunger.
THE NORMAL APPETITE
A normal desire for food is not attend.
ed by any disasreeable sensations what.
ever, in any part OF the body; 1t is not
accompanied by "gnswing" sensation
in the stomach, by headache, by pain in
the stomach, nor by sense of faint
ness or weakness, unless the person has
been without food for at least thirty six
hours. A normal call for food is not
particularly urgent one; It can be post.
poned for several hours. IL necessary; it
Is not associated with headache nor
weakness nor any particular inconve
nience. A normal call to meals does not
come from the stomach; 1t comes from
all parts of the body.
TIE INDIGESTION APPETITE.
1t Is fact that large per cent of the
various digestive disorders, whether they
involve the stomach. the intestine or the
liver. are accompanied, and often made
known, In no other way except by an
irritation of the stomach or "gnawing''
sensation coming on about four hours
after meals, which happens to be Just
before the popularity appointed time for
the next meal. This irritation Is re
lieved for time by taking food. Dis.
ease Of the gall bladder and appendix,
as well as ulcer of the stomach, are ell
accompanied by the hunger pain. 1t lie
this irritation due to digestive disorders
which in great many instances is con.
sidered to be q real desire for food.
There are, Of course, many persons who
habitually overeat, but who, because
the digestion remains good, do not have
this irritation, but who nevertheless
have an abnormal appetite.

Company H Inspected.

CAMP COTTON, Ell Paso, Texas,
Nov. 5.-Company H, 33rd Michigan
Infantry, Owosso, was inspected
along with the balance Of the regi-
ment on Saturday. 1t was minute
inspection, in regard to condition of
property and equipment and shelter
tents were pitched. 1t was finished
during the early part of the forenoon
and the balance of the holiday was
spent in taking shower baths, wash
ing clothes, and visiting Ell Paso and
other places near by.
Capt. Harold Hume, of Owosso,
who is second in command of the
32nd Michigan Infirmary, has been
doing more than his share of work
for the past few days, because one of
the regimental doctors was transfer
red to another unit, leaving but two
with the 32nd. Another surgeon has
been assigned, however, and while
this makes three, still two less than
the quota, the work is not so burden
some.
The fact that Camp Cotton yards
are filed with tourist sleepers, a
short distance from the 31st and 32nd
Infantry, has aroused agitated dis
cussion among the men of these two
regiments. They are wondering who
is going home. The authorities, how
ever, are silent.

FROM The BOYS on THE BORDER

CAMP COTTON, Ell Paso, Texas,
Nov. Company H, 33rd Owosso,
came through the Island guard duty
Sunday without trouble of any de-
scription. About s o'clock Sunday
night fusillade of shots convinced
the 31st and 32nd, whose lines arc
quite close to the border, that trou-
BILE was brewing, but an investigation
by Capt. Steck revealed the fact that
a handolier of 60 rounds of ammuni-
ton had been hung too close to hot
stove in the Georgia outfit, and had
exploded.
Lieuts. Charles F. Lahmann and
Earl Whiteherse, of Owosso, are re-
sponsible for the capture of a couple
of bad Georgians who will doubtless
be put away for considerable space
of time. The officers were coming
home Saturday evening when they
passed group which had just been
fighting. Four men ran away, two to-
ward town and two toward camp. A
corporal of the 34th U. S. Infantry,
approaching the officers, informed
them that one Of those who was flee
ing had stabbed him.
Lieut.. Lahmann at once organized
a pursuit from the soldiers standing
about, and captured two soldiers from
the Second Georgia. These mem were
put in the guardhouse, and in order
to save themselves, proved that they
did not do the shooting, but gave the
information leading to arrest and
confinement of those who did. These
men are to be tried by general court
martial. Capt. John HI. Steck is one
of the officers who will. sit on this
and other casessp VI al "a =
The corporal who had been wound
ed was cut on the right side Of the
abdomen to a considerable depth. The
officers supported him to the quarters
Of the 33rd, and called their surgeon,
Capt. Lemon, Of the 500, who dressed
the injury.
Another Owosso man who witnessed
the stabbing and will be witness at
the trial is Cook Nutson.
Two Owosso men who will see SER
vice in Mexico, undoubtedly, before
any of their comrades, are Fritz Met
zger and Roy Haynes, of the 32nd
Michigan Infantry. The names have
been Turned in as members of de-
tail to be made to the 34th U. S.
Infantry, in the event if it is called
to Mexico. The call is expected right
after election, as the 34th may go
then to strengthen Pershing's column.

eral stars in its lineup, including a
former Yale guard, but was shame
fully treated, nevertheless. The gen
tleman from Yale was bumped and
tossed around just like an ordinary
citizen. The 32nd is crazy about its
team and will back it for almost any
sum.
