RETlTIME CTnPTEC BY THORNTON
OAD l. lV11 III O1O1LO ". BURGESS

back porch of Farmer Browns house.
AS he ran he was using his eyes He
discovered a hole under the back
porch. 1t was a hole tht Black Pls-
sy the Cat often used. Unc' Billy
once more saw opportunity and made
the most of it. He crawled in under
that porch That hole was lust big
enough for him to get through. Then
he turned around and peeped out to
see what was happening. He was
just in time to see Reddy Fox race
past. He noticed that Reddy had
come straight to the place where he,
unc' Billy. had been lying in the
moonlight
Unc' Billy began to chuckle. He
understood now just what had hap
pened. He guessed that Reddy Fox
had seen him there and had led Bow
ser away so as to get chance to get
him for himself
"Brer Fox did me a good turn that
time" chuckled Unc' Billy. "Yes, sub,
Brer Fox did me a good turn that
time He gave me nah chance to get
away. This is funny OIL world.
People do other people good turns
without KNOWN it. Nah goodness,
but All cert'nly have had an excitin'
night"
OF course, Farmer Browns Boy
iooheu every where ioT CHC biiIy foS-
sum. The first thing he did was to
look in the nearest tree. Then he
looked in other trees. He tried to get
Bowser to find Unc' Billys scent and
follow it. But Bowser could smell
nothing but Reddy Fox. You see.
Reddy had run right over the trail Of
Unc' Billy. And SO at last Farmer
Browns Boy and Bowser had to give
1T up.
Farmer Browns Boy didn't feel
badly. The fact is, he was greatly
tickled. "The clever old rascal" he
kept saying over and over. "The
clever old rascal. He certainly de-
served to get away. But I would like
to know where he went to-"

improbable that If you set this con-
dition right it will react on the ca
tarrh of the throat
One of the first things to do is to
change the intestinal fora. ard this
means simply to get rid Of the bac-
terra which has appeared as a re-
suit of putrefaction. The human
body in health protects itself by a
vigorous growth of another kind of
bacteria namely, the Tactic acid
group. These act on the destructive
or putrefactive bacteria. This is
jus. another way OF saying that if
you wish to produce a. new growth
it is best to change the soil.
The dietary in such cases should
be made UP of foods like the follow =
ing:
Shredded, puffed or faxed cereal
preparations with cream or butter;
bran mullins, dried toast: practically
all vegetables, especially shredded
raw cabbage and carrots, tomatoes
lettuce. cucumbers, radishes, celery;
egg salads; fruit juices; cereal cof-
fee: purees of sweet fruits: fruit
gelatin; cottage cheese; buttermilk
vegetable soups made without meat
stock.
There is special preparation OF
buttermilk called "acidophilus" but
termilk which is very effective in
such cases. / think your drug store
can secure it for you.
The above is a standard diet list
but in my personal experience ]
have found that grape juice is one
of the most effective foods to use
in such cases.

The diet for excessive hydrochlori'

All plain and cream of vegetable
soups: purees of beets carrots
squash, asparagus, potatoes, corr
and peas, faxed or puffed or shred
ded cereal and preparations in the
form of gruels, also bran. strained

steamed dates, fresh pears, baket
