minded the audience Of the statement
made by "the trust" after Jess VIII

that Dempsey had used the same tonic

This proved conelusively, said the
speaker. that ninety percent OF the
testimonials OF the patent medicine

DR.. Barker blamed the public
schools system for a great many OF
the prevalent diseases today because
the children are not allowed TO take
a drink OF water as often as desired.
He said in the Bulgarian schools the
government compels the teachers to
allow the child 70 drink as much
water as wished and as often as
wanted. This is one Of the many rea-
sons why the Bulgars live to such
a ripe old age, he asserted He also
said there were over 800 Bulgar1auS

one hundred years old In the United
States there are only three men over
one hundred years old. One Is an
Indian in the state Of Washington.
one a negro IN Alabama. and the other

The important simple rules sug-
gested for clearing sluggishness are
