Loss of Appetite.
As a general rode there is nothing se

skip a meal or only eat two meals a
lay for a few days you will soou have a
relish fur meals when meal time conies.
at iu mind thai at least live hours
should always elapse belweeu mealso
give the food ample time to digest and
the stomach a period to rest before a
leoood meal is taken. Then if vou eat
no more than you crave ami lake a rea
sonable amount of outdoor exercise

about your appetite. W hen the loss of
appetite is causetl by constipation as is
often the case, that should be corrected
