SECRET OF DIGESTION.
The Relation of Brain Action to the
Food We Eat.

The Relation of Brain Action to the
Food We Eat.
Some experiments on dog concern
ing the effects of personal liking for
various foods on the digestion were
recently made by well known scien-
tist. The results are curious and inter
esting.
1t was found that the articles of diet
which the animal was particularly
fond OF met with Il great flow Of the
gastric juices and were accordingly di-
gested better and more quickly. For
purposes of observation the gullet OF
the dog was cut In sections and fixed
to the neck so that the food 1t ate fell
through. The stomach of the animal
was also divided into two portions.
into one of which no food was allowed
to enter, the other being supplied only
with the food necessary to life.
If some tempting dainty was held
before the dog and he evinced the usu-
al signs 4 Iatsure in the expected
treat, it vas noticed that at once the
stomach juices sprang into play, al
though the food when swallowed did
not reach the stomach ut all. On the
other hand, if he was fed with some
thing which he evidently did not have
any preference for there was no action
of the gastric fluid
Also. more curious still, when food
was introduced unknown to the AMI
NAL into the working half of his stom-
ach it lay there absolutely dry and
untouched by the digestive juices for
several hours, even though the food
We're of the most digestible sort.
All of which proved concluslvely that
mere thought or favorable brain action
of any sort concerning the food eaten
not only assisted the digestion, but
partly caused it. Professor Pawlow,
who made the experiments, thinks this
partly ut least explains why men Of
letters are often dyspeptic. Their minds
are busy with things far removed from
their dinners when they are eating.
The connection between the nerve which
sends the important message down to
the digestive machinery below for
more oil and the patient engineer OF
nutrition is cut off. So when unexpect-
ed orders for deglutition come pilng In
upon them they are not ready and the
work is bungled.-New York Herald

deferred from attempting to build

bines, intercept money belonging to

criminal practices will not cease un-
til the temptation is removed Great
fortunes have been founded on fla
grant infractions of the law. Some
highly respected families in the
United states have derived their
standiug from wealth procured in
iniquiiy. Some large and potent
corporations owe their existence and
their intiUunce to the sins Of unscrup-
ulous promoters and faithless pub

fortunes, immense capital stocks,
large profits and squandered money

Soldier Ideals.

The Inter Ocean.
Incidents in the observance of
Memorial day indicate IN increasing
interest in the personality of the men
who fought the civil war. The events
of the war have been discussed by
paigns have been analysed and criti-
cised by military critics and the
war has been told in all possible vari-
| ations by historians and novelists.
For forty years we have had a war
literature, and yet the full story Of
| the war has not been told. We have
biographies without number, and
yet the personality of the men who
directed the greatest military oper-
ations of modern times, and of those
who, under great generals, proved
themselves to be the finest soldiers
in the world, is not understood
After forty years of peace it seems
almost incredible that such armies
as Grant and Lee commanded could
have existed 1t is difficult to inn
agine that such conflicts as those at
Gettysburg and Shiloh and Chicka-
manga actually took place. 1t is
difficult to believe that the uuassum-
ing men who come once a year to
our streets to march to the old tunes
and to touch elbows in the old way
are the men who participated in such
stupendous battles.
The people were never slow to APP
preciate what the Union army ac-
complished, but they were slow to
realize that the farmers boys and
the young men from the cities who
returned from the war were the men
who were praised the world over for
their soldierly qualities and for the
victories they had won.
Each year, however, as the ranks
Grafton come to the study of the men
who fought the war, there is more
. and more interest Inpers0nality, with
just as much interest in event. This
foreshadows II new quality in the
/ literature of the war.
Grant, the soldier, was not fully
| understood until twenty years after
his career as soldier had ended.
, Then the people of the world became
, interested in the personality of a man
who was virtually a new type of the
l Hilary genius. In the same way,
, possibly the people will come to
) study the characteristics, mental and
physical, of the men who fought
= under Grant.
, 1t may be difficult for the younger
/ generation to comprehend the mag
nitude of military operations in
/, which million and a half of men
participated. 1t may be difficult in
these times of peace to conceive of a
line OF battle from the Atlantic TO the
, Mississippi of armies 100000 strong
that unanswered all the time against
other armies as strong; of marches
covering hundreds of miles of bat
ties that turned OH the issue of day,
on the accident Of an hour; but it
ought not to be difficult for the new
generation to realize that some Of the
men who were in those great battles
are still among us and are still true
to the ideals that made them strong

IN JAIL To

Man Suspected of Burglary

Whether or not his name is L. G
Lefeye, young white man answering
thereto and now in steel cage in Cas-
tie Sumter is strongly suspected of
having committed the burglary at the
E. d. Sheffield Co. store one night
last week and will have to answer
thereto very shortly.
Lafeye was captured in Columbus,
though not for this offense.
He was locked up there for being
drunk, it is said, when the Columbus
authorities suspected him of being
the man wanted here. Sheriff Bell was
notified and went to Columbus at once.
He reached there yesterday morning
and found Lefeye on the rock pile.
When told to get ready to come to
Americus the man adroitly changed
his shoes, but Sheriff Bell dropped on
to the fact and he was made to produce
the pair he had on when Mr.. Bell first
saw him.
This pair shoes, as we'll as the hat
worn, have been Identified by MI.

that store. And they were not sold 10
Lefeye, either.
Other and equally damaging evil
dence in the case has been secured.
Sheriff Bell was informed that Lefeye
burned some of his plumber. The fell
low, of course, denies any knowledge
of the burglary and declares that he
was never in Amerlcus before. Mar
shall Ftagin leaves today for Doyle
and Buena Vista to get more of the
stolen goods.
Lefeye is about 80 years of age, and
evidently a very shrewd citizen. He
will be giveu committal trial Thurs

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt.s Little Early Risers do not

cure biIliousness, iaundice, constipation
and inactive livers, by arousing the Sc
cretiona, moving the bowels gently, yet
effectually, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These fam
GUS little pills exert decided tonic eff
feet upon the organs involved, and if
their use is continued for a few days
there will be no return of the trouble.
