Proper Food for Weak stomachs.

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t is
also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should

pleasant in effect.-Adv.

posed the organization of a corpora

Clark the resolution recently ADOPT
ed by the Southern Pine Assocla
ton, putting the resources OF the
Southern mills at the disposal OF the
government for shipbuilding plans,
"said Mr.. Rhodes" and met with
the reply that such proposition
was Just the hackers of the corpora
ton had been seeking, as they fear
ed a shortage Of material might De a
setback to their plans"
1.-THE beauty of the plan, as point
ed out by Mr.. Clark, is that the SHIPS
can be built at the rate OF one a
week, and can be operated for about
$4,000 a month by a crew OF SIX
teen. They can be built in any ship
yard adjacent to sufficient water
where material is available"
The plan was placed before the

endorsement of both. Work OF or

A community garden of 20 acres on
Langdon Meadow was parcelled among
81 volunteer gardeners and is now in a
splendid state of cultivation, potatoes,
beans, sweet corn and table vegetables
predominating.
Thirty-one acres in individual gar
dens are being cultivated by 292 stu
dents of the Montpelier schools and 271
boys and girls are being worked with
parents or others in the care of so
acres, making 81 acres in which pu-
pills are directly interested, in addi-
ton to nine school boys who are rails
ing pigs and poultry.
Thirteen acres of city land around
the municipal water supply also were
broken up and parcelled out for gar
dens. Scores of well titled plots are
fourishing on the hills back of the
state house and in available areas in
Hubbard park and about the state ar
senal. The ground was plowed and
narrowed at the expense of the com
mittee on food supplies of the local
