DISTASTEFUL FOOD.
Experiments on a Dog Seem to Show
That It Is Unwholesome.
lBosto1f Budretl


Some remarkable experiments to
show the comparative digestibiIity of
dlfIerent foods have recently been con-
Quoted by Professor PawioW upon dogs.
Ihese- experiments are described by DR..
Romme, in La Revue for August:
Ine outlet of the animal was cut in
sections and fixed to the neck, so that
when 1t ate. the food merely fell to
the ground, and the stomach was di-
ylded into two parts, one where no
1000 was allowed to penetrate, the
other into which was put the food
necessary to keep the dog alive.
The results of the experiments proved
that the mere Offering to the dog of
food which he liked caused an album
can't secretion of gastric juice, al
though, of course, nothing had entered
the stomach. If he'were given a dam
ty-not merely food which he liked
the flow of gastric Juice was much
more abundant-that is food taken
without appetite will fall into stom-
ach without any gastric juice ready for
H. The work of digestion was formerly
supposed TO go on all right if only you
can get the food to the stomach. The
Pawlow experiments show that it is
either not digested at all or very badly
digested

aid not reach the stomach; but no drop
or gastric juice was secreted. No
method of mechanical excitement pro-
duced any juice. And if, unknown to
the dog, without arousing in him the
IDEA of food, bread or cooked white of
egg were introduced into the stomach,
they remained hours without causing
the least secretion of gastric Juice. But
after administering extract of meat or
milk first, the secretion was provoked.

Midnight on the first of May boys AMI
Iris OF each village used TO e. N one
long procession to the nearby woods
On their way they blew horns and SAM,
many merry Maying songs. In the
woods some of them cut a lOnS Mag
pole. tall. slender. supple tree Others
gathered flowers as many as they could
carry. Then laden with flowers and
bearing the May pole In state they
came back to the village abou: day
break. The May pole. festooned with
flowers on the tip. was planted in the
village green. The doors and windows
OF the village cottages were decked
with flowers and every one prepared
for . gala day. About the green bay
booths were built. where food was
served. Every one was dressed in tie
gayest clothes and wore flowers. There
were bonhres and professions and
dances and stage plays. A May queen
and often q king was chosen to be
master and mistress Of the ceremonies
and the fun lasted till midnight and
often was continued the next day and
the next. until six days were consumed
In merfy-making.
But you say what has all this to do
with the mayor. Just this: The Nay
pole was left standing on the green all
the year and was the standard Of
justice. Hero the people brought their
governors and barons and even kings
who had acted unjustly and deposod
them and disgraced them at the May
