MURRETTE.
There is something very humorous
about a time-bomb. providing that you
don't happen to be the one who Is sit
ting over it. For more than a decade
two very famous German Kids have
been appearing in the Comic Section
CT certain Sunday Newspaper amusing
thousands with pranks played upon
their old man, in which f1recrackers
and dynamite have an important role.
Those little kids are like the four
terrible Bolshevists who entered the
home OF Jimmy Stanhope one night
with a very efficient time bomb,
gagged and tied Jimmy in his chair,
placed the little toy at his feet, and
leered into his face. You can imagine
Jimmy's feelings at the time. They
didn't mean any harm from a Russian
standpoint, they were only going to
blow Jimmy out of his chair for max
ing some very pertinent remarks about
the Lenine and Trotsky regime.
The four Of them were so pleased
with the success of their undertaking
they Immediately made steps for the
cellar, leaving one Red who wasn't so
thirsty to watch Jimmy. A we'll
trained cellar sniffer, who was one of
the party, located a case of ten year
cid high-powered grapejuice, and the
fun began.

HOW AND VIII EN- TO FAST.

Yesterday, the 25th, being a Jewish
holiday" j. H. writes, II tasted for
a whole day and whole night, not even
drinking water. l would like to know
whether fasting is beneficial or harm
full. l reduced five pounds
The is no objection to fasting. In
fact, brief fasting spells will benefit
most Of US who consider ourselves in
good health. Many diseases and symp-
toms of disorder conditions are bene-
fitted by brief fasting spells.
Some writer's attribute some of the
good health and endurance of the Japs
to their habit of fasting, as a cure for
various minor disorders as well as their
habit of occasional fasting when no
disorder is present
The laws of certain religions which
prescribe periodic fasting are in accord
ance with sound physologic principles.
However, if the fasting is overdone it
may result in ac;aos;s with iea 'iacies,
rapid pulse, frequent urination and other
symptoms. If these symptoms develop
it is wiser to take some food, preferably
some oatmeal Cruel.
fast of "a hours is safe enough for
practically every one. In fact, few peo-
pie are disturbed by a two day fast.
The hunger and feeling of goneness' is
less on the second day than on the
first; after the second day, the suffering
from hunger is almost nil. I have known
fasters who have on the third day de-
veloped headache, rapid pulse. and fire.
quent urination.
On the other hand I have talked with
men who have tasted much longer than
that and they have told me they suf-
fered no headache, no rapid pulse, and
no other symptoms which could be at
tributed to acidosis.
The disease in which fasting has
achieved most reputation Is diabetes.
Fasting diabetes are given, II it is
deemed necessary, a little coffee with
out cream or sugar, and sometimes a
little alcohol. In this disease there
is great tendency to acidosis; there
fore, it is often wise to begin fasting
gradually. First all greases and fats are
eliminated from the diet. then the pro-
tein is markedly diminished. and finally
tho jump takes place when the man
is eating small amount Of starch, very
little protein, and no fat; or to put it
more simply, one day man cuts out all
butter. fat meat. and gravy; the next
day, while on vegetables, fruit, bread
and cereals, he starts his fast. A man
while fasting should drink enough water.
As understand, no religious law de-
nlands that no water be taken.
