1t would be wrong to say that the
one who gets dressed in hurry
was any better than the one who
puttered around, or that the soul
of either the one or the other was
better or worse. The same thing
is true about sluggish colons.
People are always worrying
about being intoxicated" with
constipation. | think it is fair to
say that this never happened in
the history of the world. II per-
son with constipation begins to
worry about it or thinks ne is sub
ject to auto-intoxication, he real
ly is goner. What you think
about your constipation is by all
odds the most important element
in the physicians problem Of
treatment.
Constipation is a disease Of civil
lization. The Eskimo has no word
for it because the condition is un-
known to him.
Eating Too Little
Another cause Of constipation is
eating too little. 1t doesn't make
any difference whether you eat
food that is classified as roughage
or not: the Eskimo who lives
mostly on meat is not constipated.
Nervous tension and strain will
cause it. | have the record before
me of a woman who was operated
on several times for attacks so in
tractable that castor oil had no ef-
feet. Each time the attending sur
geon thought she had an intestinal
obstruction, but each time they
found a NORMAL looking bowel. The
case was never solved until the
woman admitted that each time
she had fallen i'll she had been try
ing to save a good-for nothing son
from prison for forging checks.
Too little roughage as a cause
in a certain number Of cases is
easily overcome by the use OF
fruits and vegetables rather than
concentrated foods such as eggs,
white -four and sugar.
Too little water. Not enough at
tention is paid TO this cause Of
constipation.
Use of Lsxatives

of causes. In nearly every case

he is not going to sleep so he take,
a sleeping tablet before he finds
out whether ne is going to sleep OF
not. The same thing is true OF
cathartics. When an X-ray is made
of these people they are warned
not to take a cathartic in order TO
have the bowel functioning nor
mally, and in 30 per cent of cases
1t empties automatically.
As final cause l would like TO
put down old age and diverticulo-

scared at sight of a cat. She suffers
from Ailurophobia the Greek word

The strange electrical condition
which recently upset radio broadcast
ing and international communications
and caused so much static has been
laid to these sunspots. And while
scientists have long studied this
phenomena, neither their extent nor
their frequency has ever been deter
mined.
Although there is no scientific
proof, many persons so so far as to
suggest that such conditions cause
wars, floods and famines. and affect
the health of every living thing

The appearance of these solar DIM
outs from time to time has led TO in
teresting historical records. In Febru-
airy, 1906, it was set down by Spanish
astrologers that the sun suddenly
went OUT and left the country in
darkness for six months. Even back
in "a b. c. Plutarch reported that Old

Maybe the Ailurophobia doesn't go

be some disagreeable, fellow person
whom the woman fears without ac-

the possibility that, in some myster-

unfulfillcd wish, probably something
that the Ailurophobe won't admit she
wants because she's not quite proud
of the desire. And that wish may

THE GRASS DIET

American parachute troops may
soon be able 10 actually 1--we OF
the land by eating grass or gnawing
the bark OF trees.
This is no fanciful theory, sc-
cording TO Dr.. Gustav J. Martin OF
the Warner Institute for Therspeu.
tic Research. New. York City, for
il has actually been done with both
rats and men.
The secret is in getting the right
kind OF bacteria into the intestines.
This can be done by the admins
trstion OF a honey-like chocolate
tasting fluid containing the bacteria
for a period OF about q month.
These bacteria drive other germs
out oS the system and make Il pos
sible for a person 10 eat leaves,
grass or wood-anything contain
ing celluslose-and to convert Il
into useful food. The process Is
primarily one OF enabling the d..
sestiye system 10 synthesize the
factors Of the vitar;n 3 complex.
The New York scientist got his
clue to promoting the growth OF
good bacteria In the intestines
by studying the COW. He found
that COWS synthesiLe almost all Of
the 30 complex factors in one sto-
mach. and that II Is possible TO es.
tablish the necessary bacterial flora
in the intestines OF man which
would enable him TO synthesize his
own B vitamins and live on grass
and tree bark or even MUNICH on a
stump
This, OF course. makes Il doubly
necessary for soldiers TO have
teeth in excellent condition. May
be we should al prepare for a
grass diet.
