Notwithstanding the posltiveness

the unity of the suggestion 10 the

All of which indicates that under

GOOD DIGESTION.
Why You Should Always Laugh While
You Are Eating.

No matter how strong the digestion
may be naturally, it is no very difficult
matter to weaken it, and, no matter
how feeble it may be, it is always pos
sible TO do something to strengthen 1t.
The subject is, therefore, worth some
consideration and OF interest to every
one, the eupeptic aud the dyspeptic
alike, for, if there is one thing more Ger
tain than another, it is that vast
amount of the comfort and the diseom
fort OF life depends upon the prosaic act
of digestion.
A good digestion resembles many of
the other blessings of life in this-lt Is
seldom really valued until it is lost,
When people have for years adopted
the foolish practice of boiling their
food, without taking any trouble as to
its proper masticauon, they can hardly
wonder that new condition of things
arises which cannot be cured in few
weeks. Ii you subject your stomach to
q long course of ill,usage, you can but
expect that it viii resent such treat
ment, and not be easily Modified. II we
treat our acquantances badly, we
quickly turn them into enemies, and II
our ill-treatment is long continued they
become lmplacable, and 1t may be I'M
possible, even by the best of treatment,
to regain their friendship. 1t is much
the same with the digestive apparatus,
If we wish TO be in its good graces
we must treat it with consideration.
We must not expect it 10 do work 1t
was never meant to do. The stomach
is not provided with teeth; but 1T is
provided, and so are the intestines,
with certain juices, whose action con"
verts- food into q condition in which it
will nourish and repair the tissues and
renovate the blood and increase its
quantity; but-an important but--ln or
der TO do this the food, when it reaches
the stomach, must be In a 'get-at-able
state, Pit must be in a soft. pulpy con
dition, so that the digestive juices can
have a chance of reaching it. This they
cannot do properly If such things as
meat, for instance, are swallowed In
Jumps.
For this reason those whose teeth are
defective will find artificial teeth an
factor-in the prevention Of dyspepsia.
It is hardly necessary to say that they
must ft properly, so that mastlcatlon
can be comfortably performed.
Worry at meal times and hurry dl.
rectly after are two potent factors IN
weakening the digestion.
An old psychologist, writing seventy
years ago, said some words which are as
true today as they were then.
"Laughter,' he said, 'Eis one of the
greatest helps to digestion with which
I am acquainted, and the custom prev
alent among our forefathers of exciting
it at table by testers and buffoons was
founded upon true medical principles.
IN word, endeavor to have cheerful
and merry companions at your meals;
what nourishment you take then Will
certainly produce good and light
blood. ''-Denver Post.
