tain Leon Proust of the French army
of the Near Fast has just been ar-
rested under extraordinary circum-
stances, more than seven years after
the alleged treason. H<- is held In
solitary confinement in the citadel of
the fortress of Rosancon.
The arrest caused a sensation
throughout Paris. The war depart-
ment is maintains silence regarding
the details of the charge. Proust
was arrested while at home on leave
from Syria. Throughout the war
Proust served with his regiment and
sincc has been on duty in Morocco
Charged evacuation, were documents belong-

Chemical Laboratory
When it requires several large volumes to record what
science knows of animal chemistry, you must not expect
much in a small space. Aside from the chewing of lood,
digestion and absorption are chemical processes. Aside
from the mechanical action of the heart circulation, ex-
cretion. elimination, etc., are all so much chemistry.
Now what do people do? They dilute the digestive
fluids with foreign liquids, such as tea, coffee, beer, whisky,
etc. Even water when taken in much excess at the wrong
time dilutes the peptic juices until no digestive power is
left. Think of the "57" varieties of condiments, from
pepper to hot tamale, that only irritate and blister. Think
of the high-ball that burns and the tons of "candy cathar-
tics" that whip up and tire out the bowel. Think of irri-
tated kidneys that will no longer excrete the toxic waste,
the poison mixtures that an abnormal bowel absorbs into
the blood, then do not wonder why people have rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, headaches, backaches, skin diseases and
grow cross and ugly before their time.
We are teaching people to grow old cheerfully and
gracefully, and by means of Anti-toxis we are fighting
"acidosis" and making stomachs and dispositions sweet.
We are doing a lot of good. We may reduce the under-
takers' income some. It is a comfort to stand off the
undertaker a few years.
Here are nature's danger signals: Bad breath, coated
tongue, dark rings under the eyes, dizziness and languor.
Anti-toxis is the remedy par excellence for auto-intoxica-
tion. If you use it once you will recommend it to your
friends.
