SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. C. A. L. Reed

YOU can't think about what
Il you are doing, or trying to
do, and your stomach at the
same time.
You can't work efficiently,
either mentally or physically, if
your system is poisoned by the
products OF defective digestion,
whether you know or not that 1t
is defective.
Defective digestion--or "indi-
gestion," as we call it's the
cause Of many Of the worst ills
Of civilization, including the grave
poisoning Of the body known as
intestinal toxemia, and it is the
result chiefly of eating unsuitable
food. Now unsuitable" is a rela'
tive term, and at certain times
the stomach Is in such a condl.
ton that any kind of food is I'M
suitable. If we are tired or ex-
cited, for instance, our digestive
processes are very largely sus-
pended.
Animals do not eat when they
are tired and excited, with the
one exception of the horse. When
the horse does this, he either gets
acute indigestion and dies, or else
gets foundered.
Digestive apparatus, when the
body is tired, will not function
any better than the hands and
feet. You can drive your feet to
work when you are tired. but you
cannot drive the digestive organs
An n
a fit condition. Food placed on
the window sill on a hot day will
putrefy in very short time. IL
the stomach is not in fit con-
dition to digest it, it will likewise
putrefy when placed in the stom-
ach, for the stomach is always
as warm as a hot summer day.
1t is obviously unreasonable to
put food in a stomach when it Is
not going to be digested, but
many people do SO every day, in
spite OF the discomfort that fol-
lows.
There is a time to eat and a
time not to eat. If you eat food
when you are very tired you are
more liable than at other times
to have acute indigestion. If you
are somewhat tired, you will be
more or less disturbed. Now, for
the purposes Of the stomach,
fright and worry are equivalent
to tiredness. II you eat when
you're frightened or worried, the
food either will not digest at all
or will be only part digested. The
part which is left undigested
tends to putrefaction and. to an
extent, may poison you. The pol
son, if it does not kill you out
right, kills the friendly microbes
of the bowel. These are indis-
pensable to proper functioning.
The first result is constipation.
The next result Is that part or
the poison is absorbed.
1t will affect different people in
different ways; some may get ar
thrills, some cancer and some an
infectious disease which they
would not have caught had they
been in proper health.
In other words, you live and
have your being primarily through
the efficiency Of your stomach
and digestive system. They are
not only your rear guard for pro-
tecting your base Of supplies,
your advance guard protecting
you against frontal assaults, but in
both instances your first line Of
defense against invasion by the
unseen foes Of infection, They, at
all times, are the bas1 s and the
index Of Your 0ff1cien

High Cost of Crime
$5OO,O00,0OO a Year in One State.

How much would honesty be worth to the public and
those that lead unsatisfactory criminal lives?
Lieutenant Governor Fits Of California says te property
of California caused by awbreakers in excess Of
$500 100000 a year.
If thieves hOdup and others in California alone turned
honest the State would enough to build the Boulder

This progressive and humanitarian measure which has been

Mr. Porers bill would take many prisoners from Federal
prisons and place the Federal FARMS there to restore

There would be encouragement for the larger States to

They manage children with
splendid efficiency and they can
not see why they should not be
allowed to manage their hus-

women make delightful wives but
fail as mothers.
They have happy-go-lucky shirts
which will follow their men on
any gypsy trail-but they tumble

to the hunger of men but they
haven't the patience or persever-

Before thirty. a man is in love
with life, with adventure, with the
world, with himself-and he mis-
takes all this for love Of woman.
He does not fall in love: he merely
tumbles into it or splashes into
it and founders around like a
joyous puppy. His love is merely
an instructive elemental appetite,
like his craving for mince pie
or French pastry.
He often loses his head, but
seldom his heart--and never his
egotism.
After fifty, he may love! but he
neither falls. dives nor plunges
into it. He may lose his balance
but he does not lose his head or
his sense of self-preservation.

more comfortable if they never
saw their husbands, after the
children are born and the bills are
paid. But they'd be Mortified il

And, on the other hand, men in

gay comrades who are utterly un-

be fused over and cuddled-who
delight in bringing home fancy

the wives of those men sit on the
bungalow steps and chew their
nails and pray for an earthquake

the monotony!
