Chemistry for Digestion.

In all lands, and in all ages, the in
stinctive cravings of the human system
have demanded and have eventually
succeeded in obtaining as an article OF
food something which should give such
combination of nitrogen, carbon and
hydrogen with oxygen as is not readily
accessible in any form of food of natural
production. The savage, in temperate
or cold climates, may snbsist almost ex-
clusvely on flesh or fish, and in the
tropical regions on vegetables and fruits,
as they grow, But it is only the savage
who does this. The first elevation from
the savage state lifts him above such
things and such simplicity of diet. He
makes a combination, though without
knowing the chemical reasons for it.
The combination takes various forms
and names, but it serves the same pur-
pose, or aims to do so.
For us the name is bread, and no ma
tons can be reckoned who have not
been so dependent on that which has
been to them what bread is to us, as
that it should merit the name we so often
give it. The Staff of Life And the
more advanced the nation has become.
the more has their type of bread grown
into Importance, and the more complete
its preparation. The title of ''bread
winner giyen to the supporter of a
family but serves to show how abso-
lutely the article is understood to satisfy
the wants of the system.
We will not discuss the types as they
exist in the present age. here and there

more practical one. It may do us nc
harm to just give a thought or two to

Professor Bloss's Forthcoming Report.

Professor John NJ. Bloss, the superintendent of
Public Instruction, will submit his annual report
to the Legislature this week, and in it he directs
particular attention to the loose manner of keep
ing sohoOl-fund accounts. 1t is shown by COM
parison of the reports of county superintendent
relative to the amount OF tuition and special
school revenue with the auditors apportion-
ment Of the funds, that in many instances the
amounts reported on hand at the opening of the
school year do not correspond with the amounts
at the close of the preceding year. In Marion
county there is deficiency of $27, 752, 90 in the
tuition revenue for 1882 The superintendent
attributes the discre ancies to careessness
rather than intentional fraud, but The matter has
been running for years, and il is highly essential
that there should be more care on the part of

A GREAT PAPER ENTERPRISE,
With a Popular Manager.

In making a change in the firm aud style of a
paper there are great many things TO be con-
sdered, and not the least of all is the paper. We
desire to express our thanks to Mr.. William O.
De Way, manager of the Indiana PAPER Com
pany, of this city, for the kiudess shown us and
the promptness with which he has met our de-
mands; and while we are on the subject, word
about the above well-knOwn gentleman and the
great house he so successfully represents. Mr..
De Way came to the city about ten years ago as
the agent of the Cleveland Paper Company, and
in very unostentatlous manner commenced to
lay the foundation of "a trade which to-day
stands second to none in the State. About one
year ago they established branch house in
this city, and the name Indicates that IL Is an In
diana institution. Mr., DE Way is one of the
very few exceptions that come up out of the rank
and file, but any man who, with tho same
amount of energy, combined with the strict
business motto that ''all things must be as repre-
sented," cannot help but succeed. The Herald
has had continued business relation of over
six years with this gentleman aud the concern
he represents, and are only TOO glad to add this
our unqualified Endorsement, to his ability and
tact, which, with the great amount of capital at
his command, Will insure n continuance of his
success in which the Herald has "a very decided
interest.
The above notice, taken from the Indianapo
lis Herald, meets with the Journals hearty ap.
proval. Mr.. De Way has had long experience in
the paper business and commands fine trade
His relations with this Office have been of the
most pleasant character and we trust he may
"live long and prosper"
