GIVE EVERY TOOTH A CHANCE.
Sir Andrew Says that Every Morsel OF

Sir Andrew Says that Every Morsel o
Food Should Receive SO Bites.
Sir Andrew Clark, President of thu
Royal College of Physicians and Sur
geons, is said to have told MIR. Glad
stone that he had one mouth, but thlr

| of food should receive thirty-two bites
in order to give every tooth chance
A correspondent of The Youths Com

infant OF an excellent proof OF the
truth of this statement.
A sallow faced, unhappy looking

when the writer chanced to be present
He wanted some medicine for dyspepsia
Among other questions the docto,
| asked:
How long a time do you usually
spend at dinner?'
Il dunno exactly" replied the pa
tient; ''ten or fifteen minutes, I guess.
Does your food taste good?" DR.
B asked.
THAT it does, was the reply, but
half an hour after I've eaten I'm near

DO you drink much with your food
tea, coffee or water?''
"a pretty considerable amount. an
swered the man.
Yours is grave case, said the doc.
tor, "but I can help you if you'll fol-
low my directions.
DIR. B gave the man a dark col.
ored mixture in bottle and said: Nov,
it is of the utmost importance that this
medicine be taken properly. Put a
teaspoonful in your cup of tea or coffee
at each meal; stir it in thoroughly ana
with each mouthful of food take a very
small sip and then chew, chew, chew,
in order to mix it completely with the
food. Do this and report to me in s
week"
Two weeks later saw this dyspeptio
again, but I scarcely recognized him.
he was so much improved in looks.
THAT medicine Of yours works like
charm" he said to the doctor. I've
about forgotten that I have a stom

That's good. responded DR.. B.
Continue taking it in the same way for
three months and you'll be we'll man. 3"
Then, as the man went out, DR..
B said to me:
The whole story in that mans cure
is in the word mastication It is mere

chew. But he wouldn't have believed
it without the medicine, which was the
simplest. The man was boiling his
food and I stopped it. I've cured hun.
dreds of dyspeptics in a similar way.
Indeed most dyspeptics might cure
themselves if they would give every
tooth chance-thirty-two bites to

Wonderful Canal system of Franco.

An official document shows that the
length of navigabIe WATERWAYS in
France is some 5000 miles, of which
$50 are returned as tidal, 2,1OO miles
navigable without works, $3.50 miles
canalized rivers, and 5000 miles of Co.
nails, and of this vast network of into.
rior navigation the government has all
but per cent in charge, the system
having been brought to its present con.
dition at a cost of $500, 100000 for
construction and purchase and S25,-
100000 for concessions, with an annua!
cost. also, of 1926 per mile, average,
for maintenance. The number of YES
sells employed ON the water ways is
about 16, 200, and of these 26 per cent
have capacity of 800 tons or moro,
while more than half have a capacity
exceeding 100 tons; the number of for
eign boats also using the French canals
yearly is said to exceed 1000. The
motive power is now almost entirely
furnished by draught animals, though
few steam tugs are used on the Seine,
the Disc and some other rivers, and
steam cargo boats are occasionally met.
Cable towing and tow locomotives are
to limited extent resorted to.

Consequently, I am afraid we were

Our food, too. was difficulty. AS q

timed soups; for most of the time the
weather was so rough it was as much
as we could do to get q little waite,
boiled. We had atable about eighteen
inches wide in the cabin; but it was no
good having it laid, for nothing would
stay on it. The usual plan was for one
man to hold the sardine tin while tho
other picked out the sardines by their
tails and transferred them to his mouth
Ham always required two men, one te
hold it and the other to cut it; but the
soups were capital. I do not know what
we would have done without thoss
timed soups; they were our stand by.
We heated the tins, then carefully

Couldn't Stand IT.

The preacher from town WAS filing
an appointment in mountain church
in Kentucky, and, being an old-fash.
ioned orthodox minister, he was max
ing his sermon very warm. In fact, it
was more than warm, it was hot. He
set forth vividly all the terrors of the
hereafter of the wicked. describing
minutely the boiling birthstone, the
blazing torrents of pitch and turpen-
tine, the dreadful caldron of eternal
burning, and picturing the sinners
floating about, and writhing and
squirming in the awful lake below.
The congregation was wildly affected,
and the greatest stiffness prevailed,
every member listening intently, until
one tall young fellow evidently with
the preachers picture clearly before his
mind, jumped up, and in a protesting
voice exclaimed, earnestly, '.By gum,

How Many Words Do You Use7

1t is astonishing how few words ale
really needed to transact tho busines.
of life, and how often these are called
into requisition. Some expert in such
matters computes that with 1000 words
an ordinary man can transact all the
business of life, and of these he COM
monty uses only 400 or 500, -eserying
the remainder for extraordinary occa.
sions. when some idea out of the usual
line of his thinking occurs to him,
compelling an uncommon strain Of his
verbal resources. In just such emer-
gencies the blessings of slang ale mani
lest, one slang or can't word being
made to do the duty for a dozen.
When he wishes to convey the idea that
the weather is extremely cold he says
it is swfully cold; few months later
he discovers that it is awfully hot; at
dinner his pie is awfully nice; the
young lady on whom he called last
evening was awfully pretty; and SO on
he goes, making one word answer the
purpose of whole vocabulary.-.&
