and use as fat for various dishes In

If fat becomes too old, save until
you have enough to make a little
home-made soup; it Is real fun to

To three pounds of fat take one

tablespoonful each of ammonia and

THREE RULES
Dr. Caldwell watched the results of
constipation for 47 years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are
of their health, diet and exercise, com-
stipation will occur from time to time.
Of next importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
es possible, hence his remedy for sou}
pation is a mild vegetable compound. It
can not harm the most delicate system
The Doctor never did approve of dras-
tic physics and purges. He did not believe
they were good for human beings to put
into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for
yourself and members of the family in
