 There are other sins equally as bad as drinking and smoking and theatre going Dr. Trotter declared; the beau tiful sins-the sin of pride, for instance.

Three Meals a Day
 Yet Slowly Starve

Impossible? No, indeed! Food can nour- ish the body only when it is properly di- gested and assimilated. The digestive or gans must convert it into form in which the nourishing properties can be separated, taken up by the blood and distributed through the body, while the waste is sent into the intestines and eliminated.
 When these functions not properly performed. the body fails to receive neces- sary nourishment and the bowels are over loaded with poisonous accumulations that are absorbed by the blood and carried all over the system.
 The result is tickle appetite drowsy feel ing after meals, mental and physical dull ness, loss of strength and energy, nervous ness, sleeplessness. unrest.
