Before we wade into the abstruse
psychological problem the question
presents. let another correspondent

question that comes many times a
day:

tion for umperal years and | don't

Now, then, II is necessary to clear

years of training will dismiss my
preachment as utterly unreasonable.
Whereas IL / were to concoct some
explanation with good dash of med
ical mystery or pseudo.scientifi no.
KUN in 1t those very people might
find It quite convincing.
One intolerable obstruction on the
track ahead is. the popular obsession
that certain foods or kinds of food
are Binding or '-constipating. This
is 100 per cent error. To be sure,
certain excellent and desirable foods

more laxative than others: but to
