arc your natural self your pent-up ;
feelings find expression. Yet it is
at home, in the training of your
children that a perfect equilibrnm is

your own meanness. Indigestion in
its many forms causes a lot of need
less family troubles. All grouchi

but the digestive disorders seldom
fail to bring ill tempers. Look out
for the symptoms—-dizziness, head
aches, heartburn, upset stomach, etc.,
