Smyrna School News
We arc beginning to realize the fact
that our school term isn't as long as
it has been, so we are applying our
selves to our respective duties since
we are striving to reach the goal in
the end.
We are busy getting ready for the
county meet that is to be May 3rd, and
we are hoping to enter with a determi
nation to win, as we feel the spirit of
this meeting by coming together and
putting forth an effort to gain some
thing for our school.
We are also getting ready for the
closing exercises and we are hoping
to have something at the close of
school to wind up our departing days
for the vacation. Our people are anx
iously looking forward to these exer
cises as it is a privilege that our par
ents and friends have to come togeth
er and see how these boys and girls
are performing their duties.

CONSTIPATION IS
PLAGUE OF RACE
Fiat Fruits and Vegetables—
Properly Flavored
The papers are full of statements
and theories about constipation —one
of the plagues of civilized people.
What are the facts? A famous food
biologist was asked to state the case
and he summed it up in these few
words: “At least 90 per cent of the
constipation is due to alack of rough
age in the diet. Eat bran, cereals,
and fruits and vegetables, both raw
and cooked.”
He went on to emphasize how much
more pleasant it is to eat these health
ful foods provided their delightful
tastes and flavors are developed by
the use of sugar. He spoke of how
hard it is to get children to eat cer
eals, so beneficial in their diet, un
less they are properly sweetened. He
asked us to remember how many
healthful fruits would be unpleasant
to the taste without softening the fruit
acids and developing their remarkable
flavors with sugar.
We should put it down as a safe
rule of health that all human beings
living in the civilized world today
need plenty of fruit and vegetable
filter in their daily diet. Sugar, by
making nearly all such diets pleasant
to taste and easy to eat, is the one
dependable aid to the eating of rough
age.
There is no substitute for sugar in
the normal diet. Sugar is Nature’s
ideal flavor for healthful foods. Eat
the things you need and enjoy them.

But you don’t need to patronize the “Special
