SECRETS OF

Being alone and feeling lonely

these and similar states can
undermine many an otherwise
virils personality.
Nervous breakdowns may result
from loneliness. Depression and
all sorts of morbid mental states
may follow in its wake.
1t is a pity that modern life,

Loneliness can be so severe that
it becomes true mental anguish.
1t can be real torture. 1t can

how vastly different this is from
loneliness when you feel your

Nevertheless, Ii you suffer from
loneliness you have the power
within you to master it!
The weapons with which to con.

The Victim

The Victim
It is foolish to say that Pro-
hibition has not benefited any
large class Of people. Think Of
the undertakers!
And the doctors! Undertakers
and specialists must LIVE! Take
away Prohibition and many a
stomach specialist wouldn't know
where his next million was
coming from.
All these people who are pro-
testing against the effect of the
Eighteenth Amendment and its
little brother, the Pocket Flask,
on the Younger Generation, have
picked the lesser victim.
A young stomach is a STRONG
stomach. And il any of the
Younger Generation are still alive
after they have finished trying
to beat the locomotive to the
crossing, and shooting each other
up. they may worry along for
quite a while before the acidosis
sets in. .--
Alas. no! The REAL victim of
Prohibition is not Youth. 1t is
, the GREAT AMERICAN STOM.
ACH!
That beautiful, innocent, once
perfect engine OF the human body!
That stomach on which the Con-
tinental Army fought the ReVolu-
ton, and the Union Army won
it's victories-and the A. E. F.
made the world safe for-the
bootleggers!
That gorgeous organ which sur.
vived New England pies and
doughnuts and Southern het
breads and fried steaks--and
STILL was the best stomach in
the world!
And NOW look at the darned
thing!
Everybody has got acidosis, or
pyrosis, or halitosis, or artcrio-
salerosis! Or neuritis, or colitis,
or 'arthritis, or gastritis. Or sci
atica, or rheumatism, or lumbago.
Everybody is on a liquid diet,
or a vegetable diet, or an anti
acid diet. No matter how gaily
a dinner party Begins, 1t always
ends in a CLINICAWith all the
guests comparing SYMPTOMS and
diet lists. And water Cures and
blood tests.
No use trying to talk love on
art or, books-or even golf. All
conversations lead right to the
kitchen or the stomach. Violent
hatreds and even divorces begin
in incompatibility of diet lists.
And lifelong friendships are
founded on a mutual faith In
spinach and buttermilk.
Practically the whole nation is
on the sick list. And a man
with healthy appetite for rare
beefsteak is regarded by his kind
