CURING CONSTIPATION BY
STUFFING

There are no healthful foods which
can be said to be strictly laxative.
Those who are troubled with consti-
patton should remember that as far
Is food is concerned in the cure, 1t Is
necessary to use limited amounts OF
starchy foods and to eat large guam
titles Of the bulky green vegetables,
even what might seem excessive
amounts, at least for q short time.
P~eristalsis Of the ~intestines can be
encouraged by using this large
amount OF green vegetables contain
ing 50 much cellulose. My readers
know that I very seldom advise over
eating. but I do believe that for a
limited time 1t is of value in the cure
Of constipation. providing the stuff
ing is done on the leafy green vege-
tables.
In starting the cure of constipa-
ton, 1t is well to live for four or five
days on different kinds Of fruits, US
ing such fruits as apples, oranges.
pineapples, grapes, apricots and
peaches. Just take as much as you
want Of any one Of these fruits during
the day, eating some every hour or
two II you desire. After perhaps the
fifth day Of this fruit fast, start on
this diet:
Breakfast: One egg, prepared in
any manner except by frying. three or
four mullins made Of real whole
wheat flour, a dish Of prunes. figs.
raisins, apricots, applesauce or baked
apple. Also, one good-sized dish Of
one Of the cooked non.starchy vege-
tables listed as follows: celery, spin
ach. small string beans, asparagus,
summer squash, cucumber. eggplant.
beet tops, turnip tops, small beets,
carrots, parsnips or turnips, pump
kin, lettuce. okra, chayotes, oyster
plant (salsify), mallow, kale. zucchini,
and vegetable marrow.
During the morning, drink at least
one quart Of water.
Lunch: Choice Of any two Of the
non-starchy vegetables listed for
breakfast. Also q choice Of one or
two Of the following uncooked salad
vegetables: celery. spinach, aspara-
gus, cucumber, parsley, small beets,
small carrots. small parsnips, lettuce,
oyster plant, mallow. endive. avo-
cado and ripe olives.
During the afternoon again drink
at least one quart Of water.
Dinner: Use q selection Of the
same vegetables as at noon, with the
addition of one kind OF protein, such
as beef, mutton, chicken. turkey. rab-
bit, fish or nuts. In addition to this,
use q dish Of stewed fruit, Is at
breakfast.
It is advisable on this regimen to
eat . much as possible Of the vege-
tables listed. even using two or three
servings Of the same vegetable. This
"stuffing" on the vegetables should
continue for two or three weeks and
then the amount gradually reduced
as the bowels begin to move more
easily.
Take the "setting-up" exercises at
least twice daily.
Go to the toilet after each meal,

THE AGE OF MIRACLES

We never are any more greatly mistaken than when
we say that the age Of miracles is over. Sometimes it
SENS as If the age OF miracles had only begun.
Consider this: The Pathe moving picture people had
a camera at Churchill Downs to take moving pictures
Of the Kentucky Derby. In a New York studio they had
another film and apparatus to record the sound. The
sound waves came to the studio by radio and were duly
recorded; and the machines were arranged SO that sight
and sound were perfectly synchronized. When the
photographer got back to New York it was an easy
matter to put the two films together-and 10! there was
a "talkie,' technically perfect, OF the great race!
Think over that little bit of work for a minute, and
see if it doesn't come close to filling every requirement
of a first class miracle.

A WAR THAT NEVER ENDS

In the Missoula MONTY Sentinel the other day ap-
peared . news item telling how a huge tract Of forest
land In western Montana, bearing several billion feet of
~lodsepole pine. had been abandoned to the mountain pine
beetle.
Our dwindling forest reserves are highly valuable, and
science has found some ingenious ways OF protecting
them: yet, in this instance, the beetle has come out
victorious. There has been unconditional surrender.
That particular Montana forest has been won-in open
combat. so to ~speak-by the insect world.
Every so often something like that happens to remind
one Of the never lending war that the human race is
compelled to wage with insects.
There have been, indeed. scientists who have pre-
dicted that insects may eventually win possession Of the
entire earth-ousting man, and all other mammals, and
ruling supreme from pole to pole.
Probably that's an over pessimistic view. But con-

48 years. She was born blind and
given sight by a miracle of modern

nor is It necessary for you to take

Cactus q Food
Question: Mrs. .. w. writes: 4
have been told that the fruit Of the
cactus can be eaten and I have, in
fact. tried it and found 1t palatable.
However. the chief difficulty seemed
to be with the prickly thorns. Were it
not for these, I would enjoy eating
the fruit. Is there any method of
removing the thorns so that it can
be more easily eaten?"
Answer: The best method Of re-
moving the small prickly sp;nes Is to
impale the fruit upon q stick and
whirl 1t about in q flame 70 that the
thorns are burned off. After this.
the cactus pear may be handled as
any other fruit: The skin should be
removed. The kind most frequently
found in the United States is known
as the 'prickly pear" and is quite
abundant in the southwestern part Of
the United States, and may vary In
size from one ounce to q pound OF
more in weight. The fruit is eaten
raw as q rule, but it Is sometimes
picked with lemons or other fruit.
The seeds are sometimes so abund-
ant as to be unpleasant. although
they may be eaten without harm. In
Mexico, q syrup is produced from this
fruit known as Tuna honey. They
are also made into . thick paste

under the bali for what appeared a certain out.
But then came what later was to be termed
the $4,000 muff." For Snoddy dropped the
ball and Engle reached second.
Things looked brighter for the Giants when
SnodgraSS a moment later made q spectacular
catch of Hooper'S terrific clout which had all
the earmarkS of a triple. Steve YerkeS walked,
however bringing up Speaker.

Iris popped puny little foul just outside first
base. 1t should have been q soft catch for
Merkle, McGrawS first baSeman. But for some
reason the ball was permitted to drop un-
touched between Merkle, Mathewson and
Meyers. Given a new lease on life, Speaker
promptly poked a long single to right scoring
Engle with the tying run and sending YerkeS to
third.

went the world series title, four games to three
