at first it was so funny they laughed
and had a good time but soon grew

Clodfelter had a certain amount to

they had to shell all that ne had

very long before the dog struck a
trail and so on treed. They heard
the dogs bark and soon reached the
scene of action. Sure enough there
was the -opossum. They cut down
the tree and the dogs nabbed the
opossum. Or. Smile had never seen
an opossum and thought it the
ssrangest thing that he had ever
seen that dogs would hunt and put
this four feet on tree and stay till
they went and cut the tree and got
the meat. We asked DR.. Smile to
come to Wallburg to 60 hunting. DR..

good money for the insip1d. sugary
deceits sold as breakfast food and then
resort to some horse doctors alleged
liver pills to counteract the bad eHectS
of ultra refined pabulum.
Wheat bran was looked upon as IN
Gigestible' some years ago and there
fore considered Objectionable IN the
diet. We know now that ind1gestlDle
residue is essential to the natural rune
tion Of the bowels besides being an ala
to normal digestion.
Bran may be taken in any cereal, In
soup, in the form of bran gems, Dran
cookies. bran biscuit or bran bread. II
should be taken in some form at prac-
ticallv every meal unless whole wheat
or gr:ham bread is restored to the
menu in place of the anem1c white
bread of modern times.
Such vegetables and fruits as may
he eaten raw are advisable in the daily
ration whenever they can be obtained.
Fruits containing seeds are especially
helpful to normal bowel function and
never cause of appendicitis. as some
misguided folk imagine. Indeed, one
predisposing cause of appendicitis is
chronic constipation, attributable to in
sufficient coarse food. And the abuse
of physics is another predisposing cause
of appendicitfs. as of piles and other in
teStinal diseases.
By diet rich in the indigestible sub
stances supplied by nature for a wise
purpose and a regular habit of going to
stool at definite time each day or sew
eral times (really natural bowel move
ments occur shortly after each of the
three meals). by the free drinking OF
water and moderate open air exercise

the average individual can soon devel-
op d natural bowel function and keep
it so for life.
