GO TO EXTREMES
Health Faddists Apt to Become a
Nuisance.
Hard to Deny That There Are Many
Like the Unfortunate Jiggins, Who
Literally dumb Bell" Them
selves to Death.

The following editorial from the
Gary Times is printed by the Journal
Of the American Medical Association
as a lesson to health faddists:
There Is great deal Of truth in the
satirical story Of Jiggins, who had the
health habit. Jiggins lived 20 years
ago, and health was a disease with
him. The Dallas News says that Jig
gins took cold plunge every morning.
He said it opened the pores After it
he took hot sponge. He said it
closed the pores. He got so that he
could open and shut his pores at
will.
Jiggins used to stand and breathe
at an open window for half an hour
before dressing. He said it expanded
his lungs. He might, of course, have
had it done in shoe shop with a
boot stretcher; but, after all it cost
him nothing this way. And what is
half an hour?
After he had got his vest on, Jig
gins used to hitch himself up like
a dog in harness and do shadow ex-
ereises. He did them forward, back
ward and hindside up.
He could have got a job as a dog
anywhere. He spent all his time at
this Kind of thing. In his spare time
at the office he used to lie on his
stomach on the floor and see if he
could lift himself up with his knuckles.
If he could, then he tried some other
way until he found one that he
couldn't do. Then he would spend the
rest Of his lunch hour on his storn-
ach perfectly happy.
In the evenings in his room, he used
to lift iron bars, cannon balls, heavy
dumb-bells and haul himself up to
the ceiling with his teeth.
He liked it.
He spent half the night Singing him-
self around his room. He said 1t made
his brain clear. When he got his brain
perfectly clear he went to bed and
slept AS Soon as he awoke he began
+ clearing it again.
Jiggins is dead. He was, of course,
a pioneer; but the fact that he dumb
belled himself to death at an early
age does not prevent whole genera
ton of young men from following in
his path.
/ They are ridden by the health
MANIA
They make themselves nuisance.
They get up at impossible hours.
They go out in silly little suits and
run marathon heats before breakfast.
They chase around barefoot to get the
dew on their feet. They hunt for
ozone. They bother about pepsin.
They won't eat meat because it has
too much nitrogen. They won't eat
fruit because it hasn't got any. They
prefer albumin and starch to buckle
berry pie and doughnuts. They won't
drink water out of a tap. They won't
eat sardines out of tin. They won't
use oysters out of pail. They won't
drink milk out Of glass. They are
afraid. Yes, sir, afraid. Cowards!
And after all their fuss they pres
emily incur some simple, old-fashioned
illness and die like anybody else.

PeptO- Mangan Brings VlgOr, Health
And Happiness To Anemlc
Persons.

When you're feeling your best -
when you're brimming with happiness,
pep" and enthusiasm - people just
can't help being drawn to you. You're
a favorite wherever you go.
But when you're constantly tired
and dull-when everything is too much
trouble-when you're bored with your
self-it's natural that you affect your
acquaintance likewise.
If you're not feeling up to par, you
are not. If you're not sick exactly, but
are just run down, what you need is a
good tonic. The food you eat is not
becoming energy-making, red blood.
Everyone gets rundown occasional
ly. But it's not necessary and is really
dangerous to let this condition hang
on. A bottle of PeptoMangan, the
famous red blood builder" would sup
ply the iron and other properties your
blood now lacks-would bring back
your old-time energy and enthusiasm
would put color in your cheeks and
spring in your step.
Pepto-mangan is agreeable and con-
venient to take, and endorsed by ply
sicians everywhere. San be had in
either liquid or tablet form. There's
no difference in their effectiveness.
Ask your druggist for Pepto-Mangan
and be sure it's "Gudes'-the genuine.
The name Guides" should be on the
package. -Advertlsement

Don't Spoil a Good Meal With a Bad
 Stomach

It is really a pitiful sight to sec so many thousands of people worrying about what they can eat and what they can't eat.
 Dyspeptics, they call themselves, but they stretch the imagination when they do it.
 All these people need to make them healthy, cheerful and of sound appetite is a box of Mi-O-Na Tablets.
 The stomach of dyspeptic is over worked and run down. It needs help to digest the food, but more than that it needs a prescription that will cleanse, renovate, strengthen and put elasticity into the stomach walls.
 Mi-O-Na is the prescription that will do this and do it so promptly that you'll wonder why you didn't try it before.
 It stops belching of gas and distress after eating in five minutes. It is un- doubtediy the greatest stomach tonic ever given to the public by a specialist in stomach diseases.
