PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Biliousness.

o. What is called "biliousness" is
. brought about by too great an
3 intake of food and drink and not
. enough of outgo of energy and
9 exercise.
3 AS to the taking of calomel
o for "biliousness' a doctor says:
3 "Calomel will give relief. So
9 will aloes or any other purga-
. tive. But to charge the liver
. with responsibility is like over
o loading willing horse and then
9 abusing him because he cannot
. pull it all. Temporary relief can
9 be had from twelve hours of
Q hunger and purgation."
o AS to the cure of this condition
3 the doctor says further: 1.-THE
. cure lies in readjusting the hab-
> its. The amount of muscle work.
8 done must be in proportion to the
. food taken. The amount of meat
. and eggs eaten must not be great
8 er thar is required to repair the
. waste in tissue from work. nor
. the amount OF starches, sugars
. and fats greater than the require
o ments of heat and energy. Ii
. one must supply an overgrown
% appetite let him fill up on wa :
8 terry fruits and vegetables. If he
8 wants to eat heavily Of richer
o foods let him earn the right by
o working in the field or riding
o horseback. If he would escape
o constipation let him eat bran,
o fruit and vegetables. This con-
o stitutes the only royal road in
o biliousness."

chief OF the imperial general staff, but the
Premier's frank statement in the House of
Commons OF the reasons which forced tire re-
tircment OF that official not only completely
upset their plans, but serves to accentuate
the fact that he has been a mainstay OF the
British empire in the war, valiant, resource

He emerges from the contest stronger than
ever, for even his btterest opponents have
to admit their inability TO suggest q stronger
man to assume the burden of responsibility.
