Proud AEa7 Acne Knot0s
Not Value of Fasting

Man knows that wild creatures Of
the forest and plain al times go
through IS empty hours without max
ing a kill he knows, also. that Ger
tain peoples fast at times asa re-
ngious duty, and this without in any
way impairing their health. Finally
he knows that individuals have done
without food in any form for weeks
and have gained rather than lost by
the experience, says the Baltimore
Sun.
His love for food is so deeply In
grained. however, that when his mule,
COW and dog refuse to eat, his wits
at once cease to function. He reasons
in this way: when these creatures
were well they ate heartily Now that
they. refuse to eat, they must be ILL., If
I am to make them well again, must
by some means force them to eat"
So it is when man himself is indis-
posed by reason of some indiscretion
He does not wish to eat The very
thought of food is an abomination. But
Ills VILE NApcG AOFE - SA[ANG4 e&.e~A
her reason, says to him Honey, you
simply must eat in order TO keep up
your strength, and have prepared q
number of dishes you like In order %
tempt your appetite"
The little will that remains to him
after one gIance at the table urges
him to fee, but his greedy palate pre-
walls and he eats heartily. The result
is that his overburdened system, striv-
ing with all it's cunning to get him
back to normal, must quit its task for
while and take care Of the new
cargo he has shoveled aboard. Nature
knows its business, but Is badly handi-
capped when those it desires to save
persist IN their madness.

Sonan Fond Of Song

Musical instruments-even the TOM
tom, SO dear to the heart of most AT
riean natives-are unknown to the
Soman. who, none the less, take great
pleasure in singing and dancing.
Their songs are not by any means cas-
ual chants but have special signifi-
canoe, and are applicable TO certain
occasions. For example, there is q
"Song Of Thanksgiving for the finding
OF water. after long journey and
songs for the loading and unloading
Of caravans, but most Of their music
is Of a religious nature; and there Is
a "Song Of Burial" sung when the
2o-foot mound is raised above the re
mains Of a chief and fenced around
with strong paiisade Of logs placed
transversely between stout posts OF
all their dances the Soman place the
war dance first.
