The British working classes will be the first to fool the effects for good or evil on our commerce and industry alter the war; we must there fure plan to control those effects so that they may if possible operate for good. For want of foresight many recent things have been dous too late, and the whole virtue of our proposed action will lie in our having thrashed out and decided upon a policy to meet the altered con- ditions, and in being ready with it long before the war terminates.

In a state of Indigestion food often rentains too long in the stomach and ferments. Again the supply of bile (Nature's own laxative) from the liver is frequently poor in quality, and badly regulated. Or the bowels are to slug gish to expel the body's refuse. impuri ties are then thrown into the blood. All these important digestive organs are the centre of a special nervous system.. Naturally the irritated nerves protest like the eye does against a particle of
