WHY BLAME THE STOMACH
 FOR so MANY TROUBLES!

The answer Is that the stomach is really to blame for most of the human ailments. though it seems far removed from the seat of many such diseases as rheumatism, constipation, skin diseases. etc. Medical authorities are pretty generally agreed that the stomach is the main source of many Of our bodily inflictions. Indigestie Is known as one of the first troubles to develop from accumulated acids in the stomach. That explains a whole lot makes it easy to see why distressing head aches loss of energy, constipation. rheu- system are such usual complaints with many of us It is because so few of us are free from some form of stomach dis order. The diseases just mentioned are the result of poisons absorbed by the sys- tenn from a stomach which does not func- ton as nature intended. That the stomach could be made well and strong and all its troubles easily overcome was not realized universally until that wonderful medicine, FMNHAL1NE, was made available. It's great merit hAs. been proved in thousands storing the stomach to It's normal condi- ton and in overcoming the many com plaints arising from absorbed poisons.

Two Funny Processions


 e AMMY. JAY was busily spreading S the news of Peter's sickness. On
 the edge of the Green Forest he met happy Jack Squirrel and told him. Happy Jack at once hunted up his cous- ins, Chatterer the Red Squirrel and Striped Chipmunk, and told them. They put their heads together to try to think of something they could do for Peter. Then each hurried to his private store house and stuffed his cheeks with nuts left over from the winter and the three raced down the Crooked Little Path to- ward the dear Old Brier Patch and so presently caught up with Jimmy Skunk and johnny Chuck and Danny Meadow Mouse.
 Tommy Tit the Chickadee had over heard Sammy Jay telling Happy Jack Squirrel and at once spread the news among all the other birds in the Old Orchard. Half way to the Smiling Pool Sammy met his cousin, Blacky the Grow, and told him. Blacky listened with his head on one side. Then with out word he flew over to Farmer Browns cornfield and pulled up some tender young corn and with this started straight for the dear Old Brier Patch. Al the Smith Pool Sammy told Jerry Muskrat and Grandfather Frog and Suotty the Turtle and Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter. And so before the middle of the afternoon the news of Peter's sickness had spread all through the Green Forest, around the Smiling Pool, over the Green Meadows and through the Old Orchard, and it seemed

here to the Smiling Pool to hear a brand new story I've got for him."
 "I'll tell him." cried Spotty the Tur- tie joyfully, for he felt that now he really had got something that he knew would please Peter.
 So it happened that jolly, round, bright Mir. Sun, looking down from the blue, blue sky, smiled his broadest as he saw two funny processions going across the Green Meadows toward the dear Old Brier Patch, and wondered what it all meant. You see, he didn't know about Peter Rabbits sickness. From one direction came Jimmy Skunk. Behind Jimmy Skunk was Johnny Chuck. Behind Johnny Chuck was Danny Meadow Mouse. Behind Danny Meadow Mouse was Happy Jack Squir- rel. Behind Happy Jack Squirrel was Chaterer the Red Squirrel. Behind Chatterer the Red Sqirrel was Striped Chipmunk.
 From the direction of the Swimming Pool came Little Joe Otter. Behind Little Joe Otter was Billy Mink. Be- hind Billy Mink was Jerry Muskrat. Behind Jerry Muskrat, far, far behind and falling farther behind all the time, was Spotty the Turtle, although he was doing his very best to keep up.
 q wonder what it all means 5 thought jolly, round, bright MT. Sun. Ut looks as if there is going to be a party" Then he looked very hard down in the dear Old Brier Patch and presently discovered Peter Rabbit. Then he guessed what it all meant, for he saw that something was the matter with Peter.

place." he confessed. Let's go to- gether."
 Wait a minute," said a voice right behind them. "I guess you fellows aren't the only ones who can take some thing to Peter Rabbit"
 Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter turned. There was Jerry Muskrat just coming out of the Smiling Pool and in his mouth was a tender young lily root, the very tenderest he had been able to find at the bottom of the Smiling Pool. we may as well all go together" add ed Jerry.
 Behind Jerry came Spotty the Fur tie. Spotty looked very mournful for he couldn't think of a thing to take to Peter Rabbit and he said so.
 "Chug-a-rum" called Grandfather Frog. You can take your love and mine with it. It isn't safe for an old fellow like me to go so far from water or would go with you. But you tell Peter for me how sorry I am that he is sick and that just as soon as he is well enough he must come straight over

Then, before the witch could regain her feet Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, the nice poor man and the magi- cal hobby horse ran into the house on wheels, which was now magically com pleted and Raggedy Ann with a word of command sent the house on wheels rolling along the path.

old Frenchman, General Castelnau He was one of the foremost generals in the French army, and during the war. lost his four sons. This tragedy, however, never showed outwardly and the morning after receiving the news of one of his sons being killed at the front he would be at his work as though nothing had happened. When the armistice was signed some report CTS went to interview him. What do you plan to do?" they asked him.
 His answer was: "Now I shall mourn for my sonsi"
 A great spirit, that.
 It has always seemed to me that the , manner of mourning should be influ- enced entirely by the personal wishes 2 and feelings of the one who has died and of those who are left. If the rela- tive who has died has expressed a sin cere and strong feeling against the wearing of deep mourning, it seems to me that we show more respect by re- nnembering and acceeding to this wish than by going against it. If no opin- ion on the subject has ever been ex- pressed by the persons we have lost ]. then it becomes entirely qeustion of our own genuine feelings.
 Mourning is really meant to be used as q protection. Consequently, if we do not desire this protection, but only wish to pay a formal mark of respect, we should never wear deep mourning. ] To do so is dissertation. Besides, we are depressing others needlessly. Once, l, who always felt deep mourning to . be mistake, wore heavy black veil for two months. I realized then the original reason for deep mourning and < that it should only be worn as a protec- ton and never as form.
 Can we imagine anything more in- congruous than a woman in a long crepe veil dancing at a restaurant? ? Yet I have seen that very thing. In other words, believe that if we wear deep mourning 1t should never be from q sense of convention, but purely from feeling. On the other hand, do not approve generally of the wearing of z deep mourning. It is not necessarily indicative of deep feeling and is ex- trernely gloomy and depressing in ap- pearance. If we feel our loss so deep ly that we need protection we should avoid others as much as possible, except ! those who are near and dear to us. 2 With those we do not need the out ward semblance of mourning why should we wear our hearts on our sleeves for others?
 { heard the other day that the hearse was going to be abolished. Thank heaven, say. When I lived on Long sIsland crossing the Queensborough bridge was always a nightmare to me son account of the funerals going and coming. We all have enough sadness in our lives without having additional glooms, which we can in no way help, forced on our consciousness.
