WATER AT MEALS.
1t Washes Out the Mucus and Partially
Distends the stomach.

TIC Stoha'h'
Opinions differ as to the effect of the
free ingestion of water at meal times,
but the view most generally received
is probably that it dilutes the gastric
juice and so retards digestion. Apart
from the fact that moderate delay in
the process is by no means disadvan'
tage, as Sir William Roberts has shown
in his explanation OF the popularity OF
tea and coffee. it is more than doubtful
whether any such effect is in reality
produced. When ingested during
meals, water may do good by washing
out the digested food and by exposing
the undigested part more thoroughly
to the action of the digestive ferments
Pepsin is a catalyptic body. and given
quantity will work almost indefinitely
provided the peptones are removed as

however, another beneficial result :
it washes away the mucus which Is
secreted by the mucous membrane
during the intervals of repose, anu
favors peristalsis of the whole atiment-
ary tract. The membrane thus eleansed
is in much better condition to receive
food and convert it into soluble com
mounds. The accumulation of mueus
is specially well marked in the
morning. when the gastric walls
are covered with thick, tenacious
LAYER. Food entering the stomach al
this time will become covered with TINS
tenacious coating, which for time
protects it from the action OF the gastric
fermeuts. and so retards digestion

eggs bring a high price; in other
words, get the pullets to lay when thew

The writer bought 4 dozen year old

high average price for the three yea
is due to the goodly number of egg

that pullets that lay vigorously a

been puzzled to decide whether It was
Mercury or a milestone. One day il
occurred to some stone-cutter who was
engaged in cutting out god, to put a
head on him, and that was the begin
ming OF busts. Busts in return have
put a head on many a man who in
dulged in them.

It was Phidius, of Athens, WI !, in
auguratcd the true ideal style of Greek
art. He wrought the statue OF Minerva
Tor the Parthenon in ivory and gold.
This occurred during the reign Of
Pericles. who, being born tired, was
called Prince of Tyre.
The perfection Of Greek art is attri
