Loss of Appetite.

As general rule there Is nothing
serious about loss Of appetite, and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals day for few days you will
Don have relish for your meals when
meal time comes. Bear in mind that
at least five hours should always
elapse between meals SO as to give
the food ample time to digest and
the stomach a period of rest before a
second meal is taken. Then if you
eat no more than you crave and take
a reasonable amount Of outdoor exer-
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When the
loss of appetite is caused by constipa-
ton as is often the case, that should
be corrected at once. A dose Of
Chamberlain's Tablets will do it.
