ill. uxuruiai;
Dr. Ray first spoke ot tho lesions
and showed how man Is a machine.
To quoto tho sponkor: "Overeating is
the cause at much troublo in tho body.
Tho brain Is llko a great dynamo. It
manufactures norvo forco for tho
Lody." Tha speaker then showed how
uiu ur.iiu mm nurvu hjbiuhi ui iuu uuu
aro llko a telophono system. "Any
movement of the body beings a tclo-
phono mossngo from the brain. Mes-
sages from tho brain ojro going on all
I ho tlmo whether wo aro conscious of
them or not. Wo havo to cat proper
food In order to keep tho nervous sys-
tem In proper condition. Wo can liken
tho spinal cord to a great tolophono
cable"
Tho sponkor then showed how tho
reflex musclos act which work from
the splno and not from tho brain.
"There aro two forms of pnralysls or-
gnn'c and inorganic. Tho doctor
-Mien related tho incident of how .a wo-
manwas cured In ono day of paralysis
which was Inorganic organic being
raoro dllJUcuU to euro.
"Drinking strong drinks overeating
and hot drinking enough wntor causes
n conjostod llvor. Too much meats and
sweets also causo conjostod liver-
Many of us are too much Inclined to
eat loo much food that Is too easily
digested. Meat is good food howovor
there nro somo cranks who say don't
eat moats."
"Women has a tendency to oat too
little rather than too much. It Is tho
mon who oat too much. Many peoplo
dlagnoso their own cases when "thoy
become 111 and will not hellovo n doc-
tor who tell them different when ho
has studied tho caso for years. Many
.women do not oat enough proteins not
enough meats eggs milk etc. All
ijlots should Includo somo fats somo
s(archy fowl some moats or protoln.
People who overeat novor havo tuber-
culosis Overeating may cause
Rrlght's disease and other diseases;
but It will not causo tuberculosis. No
moat outing animal has tuberculosis
while practically all tuberoulosls pa-
tients aro vegotarlans.
"A dlet should include meat fats
corbo hydratos. bran or whoat broad
prunos. figF. dutoa raisins apples
peachos. nuU. and a half gallon ot wat-
er every day. A sower system will not
work without water. Just so with the
body. It must have wator.to keep tho
bowels and kidneys In good working
order."
Tho speaker showed the Uons many
frutiiH of exercise and told thorn how to
prevent many forms of disease by tak-
ing certain kinds of exercise The
main point in the doctor's address was
to drink plenty of water.
AH pronounced the address excel-
lent on the subject "How to Keep
Well' which Ib more Important than
how to get well after getting sick.

When tho U. S. Food Administra-
tion speaking through the State Ad-
it.inlstrators says: "Let's havo a po-
tato day" It does hot mean nn nbsU
pnco but rather a use of potatoes.
Many consumers haVo nils-read the
Intent and the word has gone the
round that "Here's nnothor day of ab-
stinence." Tho Food Administration is plan-
ning a consistent campaign to increase
tho liso of Irish potatoos Grocers
will bo urged to Inaugurate a "potato
Jay" oach week sclcctlnc whatever
day is slack on deliveries and making
t special price for potatoes delivered
in that day Housewives will be ask-
ed to buy potatoes a wcok's ftupply
in oach potato day.
Tho ndmlnlstratlpn wlshos to place
ho Irish potato every Oy In tho yoar
on tho table of avery family in Amor-
cnw It Is nocossary declares tho Admln-
atratlon as a war measure for ovory-
ody to cat potatoes nnd also to pur-
chase them in falrh' recular nuantl-
ftlos wook by week so that distribu
te n will be ofiual ovorywhoro for the
next flvo or six months rolloving rail-
road congestion nnd enabling grow-
ers nnd distributors to hnudlo pota-
toos at tho most reasonable prices nnd
to furnish encouragement for pro-
tection of n hvrger crop this spring.
Tho Department of Agriculture Is
rorklng to Improve potato growing
nethods nnd to Increase our crops.
Hotols nnd rostaurahts are bolng nsk-
l to sorvo potatoos" Rborally. Co-op-
jratimr with the Donnrtmont of Agrt -
