The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another Every
one should adopt a diet suited to his
age and occupation. Those who
nave weak stomachs need to be es-
pecially careful and should eat slowly
and masticate their food thoroughly.
1t is also important that they keep
their bowels regular. When they be-
come constipated or when they feel
dull and stupid after eating, they
should take Chamberlain Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect. m

\. Communication Service.

~ oCTVlCCs H. E
The bureau of communication of
the Red Cross, Washington. D. c., has
been receiving an increasing number
ing messages from people in this
country to relatives or friends in enc
my countries. Since the American
ked Cross was asked by the govern
ment to undertake this service, it is
of the, utmost Importance that chap
ters insist in putting it through In
absolute conformity to the regula-
tons furnished by the government.
This communication service should
be thoroughly organized in al, chap
tiers Immediately. 1t Is to be ham
died by the home service section id
each chapter. As the requirements
of the service will probably increase
rapidly, an adequate supply of blanks
should be on Aand, and some MEM
Der of the chapter must thoroughly
understand the rules. When the
chapter, or branch receives MESSAGES
on the prescribed forms, which they
forward through the division office
to national headquarters, no money
should accompany the .communica-
ton.
Criticism has frequently been pass
ed on this communication service on
the ground that it is giving eaid and
comfort to the enemy" but a suffi-
cient answer to this censure is that
the United States government would
not issue a request Of such character.
The. exchanging Of welfare messages
between enemy countries has become
a universal custom among civilized
nations during the last 20 years, and
