A REPORTERS STORY.
WHAT A LEARNED PROFESSOR TOLD THE
WRITER AND HOW 1T WAS PUT
INTO PRACTICE.

I felt very taiiy and run down yesterday,
probably about TIE same many other people
do lust at this time / was tired, weak nervous.
had no appetite. had had poor sleep for several
nights my mouth tasted badly and my head
ached | did not feel like work, and 50 concluded
to take a haf-holiday.
Just as was turning into Broadway met
friend who is Professor IN one Of the New-York
colleges We strolled leisurely along and told
the Professor Of my trouble.
"Well.' he exclaimed II know just what 70
the matter with you. Your stomach Is sour and
out OF sorts and has virtually gone on strike
l don't blame II particle. See how you abuse
it, by over-eatng. undertaking. hasty lunches,
wrong kinds Of food, and all that sort Of thing
1t is only natural that it should rebel.
THAT Is all very we'll. Professor replied.
but II the stomach will not digest food what
you going 10 do?"
DO" he exclaimed why artifcially digest the
food for the stomach Of course"
Are you trying 10 make fun OF me-! ASKED
Not in the least. II is just as easy to digest
food outside Of the stomach as within It, ne ex-
claimed
Now you are mystifying me-" said.
Nonsense II is very simple. When you take
food into your mouth II begins to digest the
minute the saliva touches II. This progress -
carried on still more in the stomach, also In the
intestines. Now can you not see how easy u ID
10 mix vegetable digestive principles with the
food even before you take 1t into the mouth, 30
that II is practically digested even before you
touch It? That simple enough, does u
not?"
| was bound to admit that II did.
We'll, that is just what scientists and phy'
scians call pre-digestion or artificial digestion.
and the discovery that IL can be done 10 working
a revolution upon thei subject Of digestion. fas-
kola or pre-digeste food, is simply nounsnins
starchy food. artifcially digested 1t gives the
stomach no work whatever to do and at the
same time aids the digestion OF other foods: In
other words 1t gives the stomach vacauon.
Take my advice and try II; you Will certainly %

At the laying of the cornerstone Ct
the monument to "The Confederate
Soldiers and Sailors at Birmingham,
Ala, on April %, during the Confed-
crate reunion in that city, Lieut.. Gen.
stephen d. Lee, OF Mississippi, delivered
an Grafton which has been much com
mented upon throughout the country.
He spoke particularly of the number OF
troops put in the field by the Confed-
crate States and OF the odds against
which they contended, and his Grafton
is of permanent historic interest. Gen.
Lee said
"My young fellow-countrymen,
to me. You who have lived since the
war; and have only heard of it from
others, learn now what this monument,
the cornerstone of which is now to be
laid, is intended to commemorate. Look
at these gray-haired veterans. Who
are they? | will tell you. They are
some of tine survivors of an army OF
600, 600 men, who fought and kept back
from our southern soil an invading army
of, sci ,272 (uot including three and six
months volunteers, or with the
odds of 2,254 ,272 men more than they
had to confront them To this great
odds must be added 600 vessels of war
blockading our coasts and occupying
our rivers, manned by $4,000 sailors,
preventing our getting supplies of arms,
provisions, clothing, medicines and ne
cessaries ofall kinds. In this unequal
contest the Confederate army did not
lay down its arms until it was COM
pletely oyerpowered, and it had only
100000 effective fighting men for duty
in the field left of that army Of 100000
men, while the Federals had over
100000 men for duty, or ten men for
every Confederate soldier, and all our
arsensals, munitions of war and sup
plies were exhausted or captured.
Before the end of the conflict the
Confederate army had lost over one
half of the 600, 900 men, or 325, 900 men
on the death roll 1t had fought over
our beloved Southland almost foot by
foot or nearly two thousand bat
tle-iields. 1t had inflicted a death
roll on the enemy of 1892 men, 275-
900 of whom lie buried beneath our
southern soil. Comrades of the gray,
we made record unsurpassed in the
annals Of war or history.
Let us 90 little more into details.
In the bloodiest of European wars
statistics show that the number Of kill
ed or mortally wounded on the battle
field has not exceeded 3 per cent. Of
the soldiers actually engaged, while in
the great American war between the
States the FederalS lost ) per cent. and
the Confederates 10 per cent. We see
that the American soldier stands ahead
of the European soldier, and that in
heroic aspect, so long as the Confeder-
ate banner floated to the breeze, the
Confederate soldier stands ahead in the
history of the world. The more facts
connected with the history Of the war
are brought out the more honor is re-
hected upon the valor, the endurance
of hardship and fortitude ofthe soldiers
of the Confederacy."

"Amen" is Hebrew word, signify

express energetic and solemn assent.
Its earliest use in poetry of which we
know is in the verse ut the end of Psalm
xii, one of the Psalms attributed by its
superscription to David. "Hallelujah

"Praise We jehovah" Although doubt
