"Miss Ham is right" said Pinky

every creature in the barnyard knows
it's hot?"
"Of course they know it," said Mas.

"Ah, that may be-" grunted Sammy
Sausage, "but there are many things
it's nice and interesting to hear that
we know already"
"What do you mean by that~ asked
Miss Ham.
"Just what 1 say" replied Sammy
Sausage.
"Now don't be rude, Sammy" said
Miss Ham. "Show respect to your
elders. Tell me what you mean."
"Yes, ma'am," said Sammy Sausage ;
II will tell you"
All the pigs gathered around Sammy
to hear what he had to say. They
were all near by, anyway, otherwise
they wouldn't have walked or gone any
distance to hear anything. They were
tired and they were hot and they were
lazy.
"Now, take myself" said Sammy,

But still, see your point, Sammy.

hear things said that are interesting
even If we know them already.
'rNow, take myself for example. If
anyone came up to me and said:
Brother Bacon, you're a fine pig.
You're one of the finest pigs in these
parts. You're a great addition to the
barnyard,' I'd know it was all true.
1t would be no news to me. Still it
would be interesting and nice to hear"
you're wrong, Brother Bacon,
you're wrong" said Pinky Pig. "I
agree with you about it being nice to
hear the truth, but I'm not at all sure
that you're such an addition to the
barnyard. In fact, I don't think you
are. But I See what you mean, and
the point that you make.

"Oh, no." said Miss Ham, at would

"It's much more superior to be q

easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. 1t is SO
easy to become overheated on a
blazing hot day, especially after
eating a hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes US flood
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary. It's not SO much the diet
as to keep the poison from start

this if you will just take a tablet or
two of EATONIC after your meals.
