Overlooking
THE STOMACH
BY Brice Belden, NJ. D.

" HERE is a story about q
gold mine prospector who
endured many hardships
year. after year, but always in the
best of health. He finally sue
ceeded beyond his widest hopes.
From that time he lived at ease,
but his life became just one spe-
cialist after another.
That is the life history of in
Vulnerable seekers after an exis-
tence freed from economic cares.
One of the things that inactive
and prosperous people are very
apt to do is to overeat and suffer
from attacks Of more or less
acute indigestion. These folks
reach middle life after an active
career with what they have come
to think an unfailing digestive
capacity. They have established
a habit of not questioning their
ability to digest any food which
they may fancy, irrespective of
quantity and even of quality. OF
course this is a delusion, the ma
ture of which Is sometimes re-
vealed in tragic circumstances.
One of the hints given by ma
ture that the time has arrived to
slow down gastronomically is a
sluse of pressure in the stomach
or heartburn. The coarser Vege-
tables are especially apt to cause
this type Of distress. Then many
Of these people have begun to suf-
fer from the deterioration or de-
cay of their teeth, and conse-
quently experience difficulty in
the mastication and digestion Of
meats. A chronic gastric catarrh
complexities the picture, aggra-
waited perhaps by excessive sweets
and highly spiced foods.
In their attempts to relieve
these conditions, soda Is resorted
to instead Of a suitable modifica-
ton of the diet and general n.y.
giene.
The moral is that a false sense
Of gastric security is as unwise
in hygiene as it is In warfare.

Bertha entered in response to
the tardy summons. 1t was a
beaming Bertha, who labored low
ingly to help Carlotta into her
travelling clothes, and beamed the
more as Carlotta explained that
she knew Bertha's dark secret
and that the Lyons family was
about to be reunited.
I'd wondered how Carlotta's
marriage to Tony would affect
Bertha and Lyons, and rejoiced
that these two splendid servants
