Fasting When "Bilious"

is bilious? H. H. L.
Yes. Stop eating rich foods until you get
an appetite and are prepared TO assimilate
foods. Fresh fruit and fruit juices will
hasten recovery. 1t is not best to keep the
stomach empty, however. Fruits bran or
agar-agar and sometimes mineral oil should
be taken three times day to keep the
bowels moving regularly. If this is not
done the accumulation Of bile and other
materials in the colon may make the symp-
toms worse instead OF better.

 ''If it be within the power of con gress to pass the recent child-labor legislation why is it not within its power to legislate so as to deny the privilege of interstate commerce to legitimate and wholesome commodi- ties because they were produced by the labor of women?"

 My Dear Congressman:
 In reply to your letter of August IT., would say that in all of the recent purchases of copper by the United States Government, no prices have been named, the companies having delivered to the Army and Navy all of the copper they required without reference to price, leaving the deter imitation of price to be made by the Federal Trade Commission or to be fixed by somebody on the cost of pro duction found by the Federal Trade Commission.
 It is the personal opinion of the writer that the telegram addressed to you, which l have taken the liberty of copying, carries with it much food for thought A further lowering of the price of copper, may be a cause for strikes and much labor disturbance.
 Very truly yours (Signed) B. M. BARUCH.
