An eagle lives from so to loo years.
The young birds are driven forth by
their savage parents TO provide ios'
themselves as soon us they are able 70

old bird. That is left to their wild i'll
stincts, which hunger and necessity de-
velop. There is no going back to the
Old home" for the young eagles. The
mother bird tears up every vestige Of
the nest, and if they emit plaintivc
shrleks the old birds dart ut them and
push then. off the crags or rocks and
thereby make them take 10 their
wings. 1t takes three years for a

An Appetite Cure

! -WHAT can one do when he has more
w appetite than he needs? one of the
hrst things he can do is to eat hard dry
food so that he will have TO masticate
every bit Of it-chew thoroughly. The ma
jority Of people who cat too much do so
because the hasty manner in which they
eat smothers the instructive reflex which
tells US we have eaten sufficient food
When we take food into the stomach some
OF It is soon digestcd and absorbed; 1t
reaches the hungry center and gives notice
that food has come. so that we stop eating
before we have eaten too much
One may slt down to eat with so keen
an appetite that he feels as though he
could eat an almost unlimited amount but
within short time his appetite is so COM
pletelN satisfied that he almost feels as
though he should never want food again.
Nhen the appetite is completely satisfied
mat sensation Of hunger IL quite forgotten.
what causes the sudden change The food
Is still in the stomach II has not been
aSsimtlated or digestcd but a small sample
ot the food has been digested and taken
INTO the blood circulation, and the body
has been notified that its wants are sup
piled; the stomach is notified TO receive no
more food and II refuses to expand to ad-
NIT It.
When one Is hungry and sits down to
eat the stomach is not a large open cavity
| INTO which the food is dropped The con-
dltion OF the stomach is that Of an empty
| collapsed pouch AS each mOrscl of food il
received the stomach rclaNcs to accummo-
| date IL OFTEN when one has a sensation or
tullness and feels unable to take another
mouthtul he can eat more after waiting
, In few moments he Is hungry again
People who have small appettes must
| remember this and give their stomachs time
TO dilate. On the other hand il a person
eats hastily he may get his stomach
crowded full before the body has had time
to say enough. II Is important To cat
slowly, and TO cat dry. hard food that
requires thorough chewing The use Of
dry food and thorough mastication will
be found a very satisfactory remedy for
