ONCE UPON A TIME
THERE WERE NO DOCTORS!
The Doctor Wa. Not Much Needed Until Folks
Began to Break Natures Laws.
Doctors Preach Prevention Is Better Than Cure.

Ninety per cent of all disease is
preventable, so doctors say. Eat
simple food, exercise wisely, sleep
sufficiently, and-what is vitality i'm
portant-make sure of the daily:
regular, thorough elimination OF
body waste, and the chances are nine
% n that you will keep well, work
efficiently and enjoy life. Bowel
elimination of food and tissue waste
IS all-important. But in case of ,ir-
regularity, disordered or imperfect
action do not make the common mis-
take of taking harsh, violently acting
medicines, with the idea Of forcing
the bowels to act. Nature believes
in mild methods. She responds best
to persuasion.
So in selecting a simple remedy to
regulate and assure proper bowel
action, you should not use harsh OF
violently acting remedies, no matter
how much has been claimed fol
them. You should choose some we'll
known, time tested, trial proven
remedy, that has made it's reputation
by being used for many years, by
all sorts of people, all over the world.
Take Beecham's Pills for example.
Beecham's is a household word, has
been for many generations. Beech
ans Pills is q household remedy,
has been for overhaul a century. People
not only take Beecham's but recon-
mend Beecham's to their friends
Their use is handed down from
father to sea or from mother to
daughter, from one generation to
another. Did you eve hear any
complaint or criticism of Beecham's!
Isn't that a pretty powerful endorse
ment of their worth? Druggists
IRE glad to sell Beecham's.

other step in the direction OF city
planning was taken last night when
the council accepted the offer OF the
National Lumber Supply Association
to make recommendations for the
20. ing and building codes.
Some time ago the Department OF
Health recommended that some sue
steps be taken in order to protect the
health Of the community. AT tnat
time The matter was referred TO the
