TO KEEP WE'LL EAT PLENTY OF
"ROUGHAGE"

In the American Magazine DIR.
Arthur r. Reynolds says:
"Roughage should form a part of
every meal and the quantity should be
sufficient to accomplish its purpose;
naturally some people require more
than others. Its use should begin in
child life and continue to the end of
old age.
These elemental facts should be
drilled into the mind of every child un-
til they are understood. 1t is more
important item of education than the
multiplication table, and one that is
wholly neglected. Substantially, no
one grows to maturity with any actual
knowledge of the functions of the in
testines or how they should be treated
The rule herein laid down, to eat
roughage and plenty of it, will do the
work, and just as surely as the sun
will rise in the morning it will imp
prove the complexion, improve the
health. overcome a universal physical
fault that is the basic cause of bad
complexion, as we'll as of other and
innumerable ills.
I'VE must get back to first princi-
Piles and eat food as nature presents
it and as nature intended we should
eat 1t. Then we can throw physic to
the dogs and the desert of the human
complexion will blossom as the rose"
