ADAM.

We're taught that Adam was our
dad, wise dad sayeth we, for he had
much within his dome-he had some
thinkaree; and he was close to him
above, he talked with the unseen, and
lived with our Creator, pure and holy
and serene. But Adam, like his sons
it seems, was not content with this, he
thought if he continued good there
would be much he'd miss, so he decid-
ed he'd cut loose and see the other
side; he thought that he could pull
this stunt and still with God abide.
The double cross would not work out,
he lost his happy home, for God said,
adam beat it hence and work and
drudge and roam" Since then we've
had our troubles, they have come to
us in focks-we're healthy and we're
shy on coin, or sick and long on rocks;
things do not seem to jibe just right,
we're up against it bad, but do not
blame poor Adam cause he chucked
the chance he had, for we are doing
just the same, we fail to get in good,
because we will not cut the pace, and

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Everyone should adopt
diet suited to his age and occupation. Those
who have weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and masticate

that they keep their bowels regular. When
