Digestion will not begin till the tenn
perature of the food has been raised
by the heat of the stomach to 90 de-
grees. Hence the more heat that can
be impaired to it by slow mastication
the better.
The precipitation of large quantity
of cold in the stomach by fast eating
may, and often does, cause discom

MERRY MAKERS NIGHT.
Vinita's Annual Masquer-
ade Ball.

Last nights masquerade ball in
the Masonic bang uet hall was one
of the very pleasant social occa-
sions of the winter. There was
good number of maskers and if
there was not SO much gold lace,
braid and tinsel as in some former
years it must be remembered that
we have just finished the necessary
task of pretty thoroughly "dress-
ing down" the country from which
came many of the court costumes
80 popular in former years. No
lady or gentleman in Vinita, the
home of the invincible Rough
Riders, would incur the risk of
wearing a costume which by any
stretch of Imagination could be
connected, near or remote, with
the Spanish.
There was no end of fun, enjoyed
apparently by both maskers and
spectators, and some of the cos
tunes would have excited mirth
under the most melancholy cir
cumstances. Nearly all pointed
. out their friends, only to find when
the masks were removed that they
were mistaken. The costumes
very largely ran TO the grotesque
and Ringling Bros, clowns, if pres
ent, could not have excelled the
antics of score of those on the
floor last night. The music was
good, the floor in fine condition,
the company congenial and in a
happy mood and there seemed to
be nothing wanting.
