HEALTH TOPICS
(By DIR. William E. Miller)
INDIGESTION

The food that we eat is normally taken
UP by the blood after it has been acted
upon by the juices of the mouth, stom-
ach and small intestines. Any factor
or cause that will prevent these juices
from acting upon the food will thereby
cause indigestion. By this term we
maan that the food is not altered or
changed so that the blood can absorb
it.
Indigestion may be caused by:
1. Food unsuited for digestion, such
as greasy foods fried foods and pas
Ceries OF certain types.
q. Foods improperly prepared, as hall
cooked foods etc
g. A diseased stomach that does not
have enough juice to digest the food
Diseases Of the stomach may be due to
alcoholic drinks certain types of foods or
to other causes as ulcers or cancer.
a. Overlooking the stomach and thus
the stomach can not produce any di-
FESTIVE juice.
s. Nervousness.
Follow these simple rules to keep
from having indigestion:
l. Eat slowly
q. Chew each mouthful thoroughly
q Do not work hard Immediately "a
fter large meal, give the food time
to begin digesting
d. Eat food that looks good and tastes
good
5. Eat fats, sweets and candy moder-
ately
6. Have n regular time for each meal
and eat at that time.
7. Abstain from strong alcoholic drinks
s. Rest before eating each meal If you
are nervous.
If you have indigestion;
1. Take teaspoon of soda in glass
of hot water
2. Take laxative at night
3. Do not eat anything but milk and
toast until you are better
4. Send for or go to your doctor II
the indigestion does not get better.
The doctors medicine will do you more
GOOD than any medicine or remedy your
friends tell you about

do not realize, Leni Luneska.
I'm a far more desperate man
than you think. My life is not
worth the flame at the end Of a
candle. With me it's either
nothing or everything. I may
go down to ruin, but I'll drag
you with me. Still, I'm reason
able. We are both excited. I'll
give you one hour to think 1t
over. Go away before we start
clawing again. Come back in
an hour and tell me if you are
willing to make terms"
It was a truce for Leni, but
not a victory. Karl Kruger had
spoken the truth-his life was
valueless. In the final eXtrem-
ity the recklessneSs of a coward
equals that of a hero. His brain
was historical, likely to over
ride whatever intelligence he
possessed. For the moment she
decided it was the part of wis
dom to delay.
every well, I'll think it over"
she said deliberately. 9TH come
back in an hour and we will set
tie everything"
AS she left the room and
closed the door behind her, her
legs felt stiff, her knees rusty.
There was one thought in her
mind that sang a hideous song.
There were men in the city
she had read Of them-who
would kill a fellow being for q
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1933-05-05

She had known hate before,
but never on this earth had
something in her heart thirsted
to kill. Had it been in her
power she would have destroyed
Karl Kruger utterly. Not be-
cause he had it in his power to
wreck her career. Because he
was hirnSeR-becauSe of a blind
ing disgust for the mans repul-
sive physical self she would
have obliterated him from hui
man existence.
Each nerve in her body
strummed like over-Stretched
wires. Shuddering revulsion
swept through her, sent red
flashes darting through her eye
balls.
And behind it all, deep in the
very pith of her being was a
cold Sickening feeling, clammy
weakness Of the heart that con-
sumed all the strength in her
body. When she spoke, her
voice was a husky whisper.
There are a dozen men I
know who would wiring your
neck if I asked them to-" she
said.
Suddenly he stepped forward
in front of her, his dark hands
with their bent fingers raised to
the level of her white throat.
Truce Without Victory
"And I could strangle the life
out Of you right here" he said.
