." AM going to tell YOU said noted
L scientist in recent lecture before
New York audience, something
that very few people know anything
about.
The human body is constantly pro-
ducing one of the most terrific poisons
known-we call it phenoI in the med
ical world. It is a product of the putre-
faction which is always going on in the
intestineS.
Ordinarily this poison is absorbed
and partially 'detoxicated that is,
rendered harmless-by the liver. But
if you are constip ated, the amount of
phenol pr oduced increases enormously.
The body cannot handle it. 1t is alb
SOrbed into the blood. The first
warning you get is headache. That
headache comes because your blood is
poisoned by an excess of this phenol.,"
We all know the other symptoms Of
this "phenol poisoning: indigestion,
skin disturbances, foul breath and
coated tongue, loss of vitality and en-
ergy. The whole system becomes weak
ened, which is one reason why doctors
say that 5000 of all diseases can be
traced back to constipation"
That is why the first thing your ply
sician wants to know is-are your
intestines acting regularly to free
you of these poisons?
.TOday-an almost universal
tendency
Constipation is becoming more COM
mon every day. In place of the raw
foods of the forest, for which our bodies
were built, modern civilization de-
mands more delicate, concentrated
diet which lets our intestinal muscles
get soft and aabby from lack Of exercise.

them, and increasing the bulk Of the
waste. This greater bulk gently en-
courages the muscles to act, and at the
same time sfren6 fhens them by offer
ing just the resistance they need.
Every such action gives the intes-
final muscles regular, natural exercise,
and so gradually trains them back to q
healthy, active state. So
Your own physician viii heartily
endorse this principle of regularly ex-
ercising the intestinal muscles as the
only way to relieve constipation and
all its evils.
BE sure you get Fleischmann' 5 Yeast
yeast in its natural fresh form. Re
cent experiments have shown that
yeast corrects constipation only when
its cells are alive. and active, and that
it loses its laxative effect when these
cells are killed . and dried.
Fleischmann's Yeast is in no sense q
purgative and does not produce inr1e-
date violent action It is O ncurishing
food-not Observation-Disclosures medicine
and like any other food, it must be
eaten regularly to secure results.
Eat at least or 3 cakes a day
plain, or dissolved in water, milk, or
fruit juices-preferably half an hour
before meal, or the last thing at night.
Get several cakes at time-they will
keep in a cool, dry place for several
days. Be sure you get Fleischmann's
Yeast. All grocers have it.

vXJORSHIP in a Greek orthodox
w church would appear to be siren
uous to many. The rites last from
$3.50 am. until noon, and worshipers
are expected to sit only during a
the meeting. The chanters must sing
mass the greater part of the time.
Yet not once do their voices faIter. -
Men are favored throughout the
service. Their section is nearest the
archbishop's throne. When the priest
brings forth the gold-incased Bible.
women refrain from kissing it until
all men have done so. Men enjoy the
same precedence when incense burner
and communion elements are brought
out. And the collection plate, which
in this church is passed twice, goes
first to the men. !
The priest, Father Thomas Daniels,
3035 10Th street northwest, is proud
to officiate in the church, called for
SIS. Constantine. and Helen.
Constantine was the first Christian
king and Helen was his mother"
Father Daniels said. Together they
journeyed to Jerusalem in search of
the cross on which Christ was cruci-
fed. They found it and took it to
Constantinople.
Constantine saved early Chris
tians from persecution. and, in. 325
A D., started to build new Rome,
which, in honor of him, was called
Constantinople.'
Father Daniels was born in Mace
