He Careful In Fatlng When Strenuocus
Shopping Trips Tex Strength, Bays
Menlhh Commissioner,
The holiday reason is a busy time
for the doctors, Many things con-
tribute to uake it so, The nervous
strain of holiday shopping and living
in overcrowded cars and shops gets
the people pretly weil fagged out and
then while In this condition the di-
gestivelsystem Is often loaded to the
breaking point,
That's the program for a very large
percentsge of our population about
this time of the year and even a lay-
man whe he reads It over hasn’t very
much difficulty in discerning that in
all probability it would result in a call
for the doctor,
Those who can afford to do so seem
to regard the overloading of the di-
gestive tract as an essential part of the
holiday festivitier. As a matter of
actual practice there is a great deal
more epjoyment to be derived frow
conservative indulgences in tempting
viande, than eating to satiation and
this is the case even though the feast-
ing results in no noticeable distrese,

| ORPHANAGE NEAR SUNBURY,
Directo ¥y Will Discuss Matter of Erecting
Big Building lo Meet Growing Demand
for Room for Children at January Mee’
ng.
The I. O. O. F. Orphanage, east of
Bunbury, must bs enlarged. The
bulldioge, as they now stand, are not
ade quate to meet the growing demand
for the placing of children of Olid
Fellows there, There Is room for two
or three more children and then ihe
limit of sccommodations will have
been met. It isa condition which the
directors and representalives musi
face and they are prepared to briog
the matter to a head and give it their
earnest consideration just ms soon as
the next opportunity efforde, ihe
January sessior, scheduled to be held
around the middle of next January.
At present there are 158 children wt
the orpbansge. The main dormitory
is not large enough for them. Ore
wing bas eight beds aud the other
wing Is fitted up for necessary auxil-
lary rooms. Nomercus smaller cull-
dren are given accommodations in the
old nursery annex.
When excessive quantities of food |
are consumed the digestive organs are |
over-worked and certain polsons are |
formed which ‘are atsorbed by the
blood and carried through the body
often to the extent of taking life,
There are numeroas serious dig-
orders which may be traced to the
failure of the digestive tract to proper-
ly act because it has be n over-loaded.
The failure of these Important fuse-
tions of digestion speedily reacts upon
the rest of the body and results in
special susceptibility to colds and
other infections which fluod fertile
fields smong th se whose natursl re-
sistance to disease is thus lowered.
{t would be well to consult a doctor
before the Christmas meal instead of
after when the harm has been done.

Got His Answer,
When the Rev, John McNeill was
holding revival services at Cardiff a
young man one night, thinking to per-
plex the preacher, sent up a note to
» platform with the request that the
ir question be publicly an.
Dear Mr. McNeill: If you are seek-
1
tell me who was Cain's wife”
Mr. McNeil read the note, and then,
id breathless silence, sald:
young men—inquirers for
Hally—and should like to
this young man a word of ad-
¢, It is thi Don’t loge your goul's
salvation looking after other people's
wives."
The growth of the population at the
Orphanage the last few years has becn
remarkable, New buildings have been
erected to meet this increase, but not
rapidly encugh, The directors, by
frugality, careful management of the
farm and with oulside assistance have
done re.narkably well, But now they
are faca tt» face again with spother
perplexiog problem. Added dormi-
tory space Is necessary and sccomino
dations for the carrying out of the
plans for educating the children are
iimited, * The directors have long
planoed to provide msunal training si
he Orphanage schoo!. This added
contingency, however, making nece:-
*ary the providiog of more room for
the children and the sccommodatling
of a larger population of orphbaue,
makes the manual training proposi-
tion a thing to be eet aside, for (he
present, at least. The matter will be
seriously discussed at the January
meeting, and plans will be meade ther
fur work to start io the spring on srp-
other big butldiog aod if this cspnot
ive carried through, an snnex lo tbe
