So you see, it wasn 't want of. ef- 6 feej that made me disgusted with this new cure. I felt worse thAn ever be- n fore while I was taking it. e "1 There is a most' dreadful and de- n pressing effect on the mind when you t think of the abundance of good things it that-exist-and you 'can't have any of it them. Why do you 'know, that after g I came up from Mrs. Mehltraeter's v kaffep-klatsch that day I felt'-. for-' a lorn .and hungry that I just sent Oout i and--got a pound of bonbons and sat down and ate every one of them.

I vwas hungry all' the time,' and nothing that I ate. had , the least effect on my increasing ip petite. I spoke to all my friends about it, and they' all said. that when one is trying the starvation cure it is necessary to eat, only the plainest h and most substantial 'food. That is why, we had roast squab twice in sue-t ciession. -"'Now, I'don't know what more sac - rifice could have bei, demlanded. Last1 n'lght, all we had were, a' few.
