1t has long been recognized that
various emotions are accompanied by
special facial expressions. Certain
kinds Of feeling, especially the happy
kind. help the proper functioning OF
the organs while Others have an un-
favorable action.
The energy for our activities comes
from food. From meat, milk. eggs,
cereals, vegetables, fruits and greens
we get sufficient protein for tissue
building material, sufficient starches
and sugar for energy, sufficient fats,
mineral matter, vitamines, and water
to enable the body to work well and
to keep up its power to offset inJurl'
Gus agencies.
With q limited diet there is lack Of
proper building material, lack OF
proper mineral balance and Of vita
mines. These dangers arc especially
marked when the diet is made up
mainly Of highly milled cereals such
rs soda biscuits, white bread made
without milk and yeast, white rice
and similar articles. but these mr..
ticles of diet are efficiently utilized
by our bodies il mingled with meat,
milk, greens and fruits which supply
their deficiencies.
Ngestion
Given fair chance, the human sys.
tenn digests the food, assimilates the
dieested products and rearranges the
absorbed material with q precise and
admirable harmony in which the varl-
Gus organs and cells interplay.
This harmony begins even at the
sivht Of food and with pleasant sur
roundings continues until the food is
utilized for any activity we desire.
This may be seen in the watering OF
the mouth, which is but preparatory
stage in digestion. :,

Jake Nesbtt, college graduate and fraternity man,
who confessed to numbering his wife because she
nagged him, goes on trial soon.
Jake and his wife leaders of the younger set
in the little river town of Troy, o. where the murder
occurred
During the month when suspicion pointed at Jake,
Troy rallied to his defense, shouting "impossibe!"
And even when dapper Jake, wife murderer con-
fessed the town still rallied him, saying, poor
Jakel He was nagged into it,"
That was two months ago. Today soberer, juster

didn't have to murder her!"
