WHY WE ElF SOME FOODS.
Not for the II J So Much a. to s.t-
Z isfystte Requirements Of the
stomach.

I, Why do you take milk in your tea?
Most persons would answer because
they liked it that way, but the scien-
fists have found deeper reason, plac-
ing the custom on purely scientific
grounds. These learned ones dis
course as follows: We use sugar in
our tea to prevent injury to the coat
ings of our stomachs. Whenever fannie
acid and albumen meet, they fall des-
perately in love with each other, get
married without bans and live togeth-
ser ever afterward as tannate of albu-
men, or leather. Now there is fannie
acid in tea and lot of albumen in the
acid weds as much of this as is allowed
by the laws of chemistry and SO far in
jures the stomach, says the New York
Press:
But milk also contains albunlen.
When milk is added to tea, therefore,
the molecules of fannie acid select
their albumen partners from 1t, and as
divorce is unknown to tannate&of
albumen the albumen of the stomach
remains single, and the lining of the
stomach is uninjured.
Now you may imagine that when you
mix salad dressing you put vinegar
in it because it tastes better made that
way, but you are wrong again. 1t is
for chemical reason, which is as fol-
lows:
Raw vegetables are easily enough di-
gestcd by cows and horses. but with
difficulty by the human stomach, be-
cause they contain that hard, fibrous
substance, cellulose. But acids dis
solve celluose and vinegar is an acid.
That is why we take it with salad and
cabbage, and doubtless that is why it
tastes so we'll, for the palate is an ex-
cellent judge of what is good for the
stomach. Oil is added for the very
good reason that it protects the lining
of the stomach from the action of the
acid in the vinegar.
Why do we take butter on bread?
Partly because wheaton flour does not
contain enough fat, and partly be-
cause butter contains a trif1ing guam
tity of substances called "extractives,'
which in some unknown way stimulate
the appetite and aid digestion.
Why do we take pepper, mustard
and spices? Because they tickle the
glands of the stomach and make them
work. Consequently, they produce an
abundant supply of digestive juices.
They also stir up the liver, and stir
ring up of this organ is an important
thing for people who live sedentary
lives.
Why do we put salt on our meat?
Why, there are two principal salts in
our body, and their supply has to be
kept up. They are sodium salts and
potassium salts. There is sufficient of
the latter in the food we eat, but not of
the former. We therefore have to add
sodium salts in the form of common
salt, which is sodium chloride. An
other reason why we eat common salt
is that certain amount of hydro
chloric acid is needed by the stomach
for the purposes of digestion and also
to kill off some of the microbes we
swallow. This acid is manufactured
in the stomach from hydrogen and
chloride of common salt. We take
more salt with some meats than with
others, because some naturally con-
tain less salt than others. So by our
condiments we seek to even up things.

resulted from the suggestion of Mr..
Dennis F. Murphy, who was the first
to take the con tract, in 1873 Mr.. Muir
ply preferred having complete control
over the corps of stenographers that
he might select to assist him, and,
upon his request, he was given lump
sum for doing the work instead of a
salary. Mr.. Dennis F. Murphy, who
died some years ago, was brother of
Mr.. Edward V. Murphy, who, with Mr..
Theodore F. Shuey, now holds the con-
tract for reporting the proceedings of
the senate. Other members of the SEN
ate corps of reporters are Henry F.
Gensler, Daniel B. Lloyd, Milton w.
Blumenberg, Eugene c. Monkey and
James w. Murphy.
The official reporters Of the house
of representatives are David Wolfe
Browne, John H. White, A., c. WEIGH,
Fred Irland, Reul Small and John J.
Cameron.
The events which led up to report
interest and relate to the earliest de.
velopment Of the photographic art
in this country. In 1s4s Oliver Dyer
went to Philadelphia and formed
classes in shorthand with high
school boys as his pupils. Among
these pupils was Mr.. Dennis F. Muir
ply. The whig national convention
which nominated Gen. Taylor for
the presidency, met in Philadelphia
in 1s4s, and DR.. Dyer organized a
corps of his pupils, among whom was
Mr.. Murphy, to report the proceed
ings of the convention. The success
of their efforts came to the atten-
ton of the senate, then considering
the question of obtaining full re-
ports of it's debates, which up to
that time had never been regularly
secured. Before the close of the
session in August the senate ar
ranged for reports of it's proceedings
to be published in two of the lead
ing party organs in this city, the Ma
tional 1ntelligencer and the Union.
Among the assistants in this work
was Mr.. Murphy. The corps as or
gained was made up of phonogra-
phers-soind writers-rather than
the old class of writer's, who used
only arbitrary characters. In De-
cember, 1S4S, this corps of reporters
began the making of regular com
plete reports of the debates, which
have never been interfered with.
The making of regular reports of
the proceedings of the house of rep
resentatives was begun at about the
same time. In 1851 the reports of
the debates were published in the
Globe. When Mr.. Sutton retired
from the corps of reporters of the
senate, of which he was the head,
Mr.. Dennis F. Murphy was made
chief of~the corps of senate report
ers. In March, 1873, congress began
publishing it's reports at the govern.
ment printing Office.
