for all members Of the family. When
nuts and fruits are used in creams they
should be put through the meat chop

The reason some men get

Luck and perseverance often

Appendicitis is primarily due to the
2oisons formed by decaying food in the
bowels. 1t is a disease caused by I'M
proper and insufficient bowel elimina-
ton. Many people have only a small
passage in the center of the bowels
while the sides are clogged with old,
stale, fermenting matter. They may
have a bowel movement every day but
it is not a complete movement and the
old stale matter stays in the system TO
ferment and cause trouble. Besides
appendicitis such unclean bowels
cause headaches, stomach trouble and
80 per cent of all other sickness. The
old foul matter sticking to the sides OF
the bowels often stays in for months.

iistless, tired feeling known as auto
intoxicatiSn."
HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE.
The way to avoid sickness and to
keep feeling full of ambition is to
watch your bowels Just as you keep
the outside Of your body clean. you
should also KEEP THE INSIDE
CLEAN It is even more important TO
keep the bowels clean than it is to keep
your body washed. because the millions
of pores in the thirty feet of bowels
quickly absorb poisons generated by
decaying food left carelessly in the
bowels. Don't allow the old. ferment-
ing. filthy stuff to stay in your bowels
for weeks. but GET 1T OUT and keep
it out Remember. filthy bowels are
the cause of most sickness-no stom
