They tell of a strange case
in a small Missouri town. A
man complained of pains in
his heel. His physician remov-
ed his teeth, but the pains
continued. They removed his
tonsils, and still the pains
remained. AS a final resort,
they removed his shoe, and
the X-ray revealed a long-em-
bedded needle in his heel.

This fam ots salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with 1ithia, and has been Hsrd for gen- erations to flush and stimulate the kidneys: also to neutralizc the acids in urine so fl no longer canses irrita- ton. thus often ending bladder weak. ness.

(By Dr. Clifford (. Robinson)
 EFFECT OF DIET

When reducing. the time and amount of water to be taken is a point of importance. In the real re- ducing diet l advocate your use of at least one full pint daily.
 The bodily loss of water in one way ana another, is about two quarts daily. So in your diet, as advocated in the article on reducing, you will notice the amount is comparatively small.
 This gives you q good idea of what part water plays in food and the di- gestive processes. If your body, un- der ordinary living conditions. calls for about three or four pints of wa ter daily talthough comparatively few take this amount) you can readily sec what loss will result through the diet ration.
 As no weight reduction is advocat- cd for those under t9 or 2o, the amount of water need not vary to the extent of more than one pint either way.
 Another important point 10 be carc- fully considered in the reducing rcgi- men. is the attention ono must give to kcping careful tab on bodily condi- ton and weight every day or two.
 If you feel an uneasy sense Of un- due weakening after few days or a week go slow on your exercise pro- gram until the real effect Of the rec ducing dict has become more adapted to tho bodily sense Of healthy ac- commodation.
 Bear in mind the success Of your reducing diet will depend aa much on your common sense and attitude of mind as on the diet itself.

 Most bulky vegetables are classified as carbohydrates, but unless they arc extraordinarily rich in starch they can be eaten freely.
 Potatoes are one of the starchicst vegetables, but they do not make all people fat. If you can digest the starch by thorough mastication they may be used in moderation. One baked potato two or three times a week should be provided.
