"Brethren" says an exchange,
pay attention to your stomachs
Keep plenty of fuel in the turnace,
or the engine will have little force.'
Solid advice. Good food is the basis
i of good looks, good morals and good
manners. It makes women beauti
ful and men courageous. Beef
steaks are better than cosmetics for
putting bloom in the cheeks. Good
health and good looks go hand in
hand. If your features are as classic
and as regular as those of the Greek
slave and and your form as perfect
as that of a Venus or an Apollo,
you will look like the liuimmv of
Rameses if vou do not have plentv
! of good iood and a good appetite to
nelp you to dispose ol it.
