Good food in Itself il harmless.
The usual reason stomach troubles
arise is due to faulty digestion
brought about by overwork, sick

The best way TO correct faulty
stomach troubles due to digestive
mistakes is to do what nature wants.
All that nature usually needs in
such cases is a little assistance to
do this work. This is why doctors
tell you TO diet. Nature is then com

CITIZENSHIP QUESTIONS

A class of aliens preparing for citizenship was asked the following questions
 What is the Constitution of the United States!
 When and where the Constitution adOpted
 What the first amendment to the Constitution!
 How many amendments has the Constitution!
 Who wrote the Declaration of Independence!
 How many votes in the electoral college!
 It might be amusing to propOund these questions to almost any company of born and bred American citizens. How many of them could answer them correctly!
 Americans will probably have to brush up their own knowledge if they keep up with these earnest, eager students who crowding the Americanzation classes And after all the frame work of exact nfona ton has been absorbed neither alien native will be good citizen unless he has absorbed the spirit of America with the better of her laws Unless teach the alien love America at the time that teach him the cold facts of her history he will be far from true Am ercanizatiOn if he had never learned ne He will only be Loyalty American in far he loves America Some knowledge of the history and fundamental laws is essential to all good citizenship but Love is the full filling of the law
