THE REASON WHY.
An Explanation as to Why Uncle Sam
Always Looks Gaunt

"Uncle SAM" Brother Jonathan" and
other supposed types of the average
American are always represented as thin
and gaunt, while "John Bull" the cor
responding personiication of the British
nation, appears as fat and hearty old
man. This fact reflects the popular inn
preston that Americans as contrasted
with their English relatives are thin
and dyspeptic. This has been accounted
for by laying it to our climate, to a Ma
tional proneness to worry or to our haste
to get rich. Modern Medicine (Septcm-
ber) tells us editorally that it is largely
because we do not chew our food We
quote so much of an editorial on "Fat
and Blood" as treats of this particular
phase of the subject:
THE cadaverous appearance of the
typical American, as compared with his
British cousin, is an indication of Ma
tional deficiency in fat and blood, the
tissues which suffer first and most from
indigestion. The almost universal prev
alcnce of indigestion among Americans
is indicated by the enormous quantities
of pepsin, peptones, peptonoids, malt ex-
tracts and digestants and predigested
food elements which are usually consum-
ed by the people of the United States.
"a well known Chicago packer some
time ago made up three hundred barrels
of pepsin in single batch, but even this
prodigous amount would go but little
ways toward supplying the demand for
assistance made by the enfeebled Ameri-
can stomach. What the stomach needs,
however, is not pepsin peptone, pancre-
attic preparations, etc, but the ability to
make more pepsin and more hydrOchl0r-
ic acid. The stomach needs peptogens
rather than peptones, peptonoids or pep

of digestive processes that each digestive
act prepares the way for and facilitates
the next succeeding act; thus mastica-
ton, by the communion of food, facili-
tates the action of all the organs and
fluids which deal with the food after it
leaves the mouth, as well as that of the
saliva which is mingled with the food in
the mouth The saliva acting upon the
starch of the food in the mouth and for
some time after the food enters the stom-
ach, in case sufficient amount of the
saliva has been mingled with the food
by proper mastication. converts the starch
into deXtrin and maltese.
"In the careful study of a large num-
Der of cases of Indigestion the writer has
observed that the imperfect digestion of
starch in the stomach is one of the most
common of all the morbid conditions
present"
That this is largely due to deficient
mastication is shown by the results Of
an experiment described in the editorial.
Two test meals were taken by the same
person, first with thorough mastication,
and second without mastication. The
moral is evident. If we are to be fat we
must assimilate our food, and If deliber-
ate chewing is n necessary condition to
this, il follows that we must take down
our signs Quick Lunch" and Five Min
utes for Refreshments" or continue to
represent Uncle Sam as sufferer from
chronic indigestion.

TuN CIRT,S DJD FIGHT.

Wheeling, w. Va, Nov. 24.-A prize
fight occurred the other night several
miles back Of Turkey Knob, w. Va, be-
tween two girls. One of them Is pretty
farmers daughter of considerable refine
ment and the other coarse kitchen girl
in neighbours house, who had consider
able beauty in snowy way.
The bone of contention was very wen
known young man named James Cald-
well. He had engaged himself TO Miss
Jackson, the farmers daughter, but the
gaudy beauty of the kitchen maid caught
his eye.
Miss Jackson took occasion to let the
cook know what she thought of her.
There was n challenge and the parties
met on Saturday night Miss Jacksons
brother had trained her and was present.
The cook depended on her muscle.
Only few were there. The fight last
ed five rounds and then the big cook went
to the floor and stayed there.
Her punishment was so severe she is
not able 20 be up, while Miss Jackson es-
capped with only few bruises.
There was no hair pulling or scratch
ing. The defeated girl says she will leave
as soon as she can.

Remembering the astonishing tidal
wave of 1893 and 1894, with which the
results of this year are compared, it is
more than satisfactory to find that the
Republicans are not merely holding every
important point, but at some of the high
est Importance are gaining. 1t is an off
year. and majorities are not expected
to be large, but they are much too large
to inspire any Democrat with hope The

that it has with it the convictions and
the hearts of the great majority of the
American people. THE Tribune Rep),

AT THE END.
The War Between Religion and Science
Regarded rs Over.

While some are still speaking of the
conflict between religion and science
as if the smoke OF the battle were yet
rising, there is at least one eminent man
of science who regards the fight as over
and writes Of it as the historian of a
past era. In The Homiletic Review Pro
lessor n. s. Shaler, professor of geology
in Harvard and dean of the Lawrence
Scientific school, tells the story of the
conflict from the standpoint of the stu
dent of nature, and concludes that the
victory is a divided one, though on the
whole, il rests with the champions of q
broad and true Christianity:
