Dry toast should be served directly
from the toaster. When this is not
practical, pile it on a heated bread plate,
cover it with a napkin, and put it on
the hearth or in the oven. Toast is
given in all slight attacks OF sickness
because it is SO easily Gigesled. The
more thorough the conversion OF the
starch the more easily and perfectly the
system will manage 1t, for the change
Of starch into dextrine BY the action OF
heat ia simply doing outside OF the body
what takes place in it in the ordinary
course OF digestion by the action OF the
digestive fluids. Therefore, when this
is accomplished by artificial means, na.
ture is spared 80 much energy.

his compatriot, John Kernel, OF the
"The Hustler" fame, were fast friends,
and IN incident related by the latter is
good enough to take a place in the
front row.
"What do you do next season, Pat ?"
asked Kernel one summer when tho
two noted Celts were discussing n bird
and n bottle in n New York cafe.
