SERVING DRINKS.

| Sioux City women have petitioned
Mrs Taft to serve no Intoxicating
drinks at White House functions. They
ask that the first lady of the land set
an example of abstinence With the
president on the water wagon there
may be a return to the Hayes regime.
| 1T would de easy. The fact is that at
most private functions nowadays In
toxieants are not offered often and
less often used. Illustrating this an
old and prominent resident of Mar
shalltown, speaking of the temperance
sentiment eNistant. said: why, a
number of years ago when I'VE met at
there would not be a half dozen who
refused a little something to drink,
beer or wine or something light Now
out of that number not a half dozen
would indulge. Tho they might have
beer in their own cellars, and open q
bottle when they got home people
are not disposed TO drink intoXicants
in public. Even those who may not
object to drinking object to public
drinking"
What is the reason? 1t is true that
mixed company taboos by common
consent the serving of intoxicants.
Why? 1t is also true that most men
who take a drink had much rather
take it quietly in the company of a
friend than at public dinner or in
public bar. Why? The universal sem
timent Of the Common people" is
against public drinking. Very few
women are willing to be seen drinking
in public places even among women
who are not disposed to be particularly
abstenious. Why?
Times have changed. There is uni
versal recognition of a changed public
sentiment as regards intoNicants and
those who use and sell them. The
business man recognizes it, it is rec
ognized socially, morally even. If Mrs.
Taft cuts it out she will be in line

The WAY TO GET AT THEM.

Indignant citizens at Radcliffe. Iowa,
the other day gave a husband who had
abused and neglected his sick wife
time to leave town. The women had
been sick for some time with serious
illness and the man in the case had de-
served much worse at the hands of the
law and hadn't received it. The citi-
zens got together and ordered him out
of town before worse thing hap
pened to him. He waited not on the or
der of his going but went at once.
What the citizens of the thriving
Hardin county town would have done
to him had he stayed and defied them
may be left to conjecture. 1t would
have been plenty, for the Radcliffe peo-
pile do things pretty we'll when they
start doing. He did well to go.
But why wait until a woman is sick
and dying to bring brute to the fear
of popular or executive vengeance?
There are hundreds Of women OVER
Iowa who are taking in washing, scrub
bing. working themselves into sickness
and to death that the little children
they have been unfortunate enough to
bear to brute may have enough to
cal, clothing to keep them warm and
fire to save them from freezing. Why
do we wait until she lies dying before

LET THEM MAKE UP.

The Journal has little patience with
those fanatics who insist upon trying
to make trouble between Senators
Culnmins and Dolliver. The war is
over and the thing now to do is to
forget the past difficulties. Senator
Deliver has done nothing to hamper
or impede Mr.. Cummins' career in the
senate, indeed has displayed helping
spirit. There is nothing in the rec
ord that Senator Cummins can not
afford to forget and his friends should
be willing to let him do so. Dolliver
doubtless regrets, some of the things
he has said and done as regards the
junior senator and we doubt not that
Mr.. Cummins would leave undone and
unsaid some things as regards the
senior senator If the past could be
recalled.

buminoids also form considerable
portion of these parts of the body
Their chief use. however, is iH build
ing up the muscles, tissues and yari-
Gus organs. The fats and carbohy
drates are used to furnish energy ana
heat. They are the fuel of the body
BY uniting with oxygen they give Oh the
heat and energy required to keep the
body running, in much the same way
that the elements of coal or wood
unite with oxygen to furnish heat and
power when burned in a steam engine
Not all of the fats and carbohydrates
are burned Immediately, however.
Some of the fats go to build up fatty
tissues Some Of the carbohydrates
are changed to fats and used in the
same way, and some are stored In the
liver in the form Of glycogen to be
used when needed.
Before these various food elements
can be used by the animal they must
70 through a process called digestion.
The first step in digestion consists In
taking the food into the mouth. Eacn
class of animals has different way
of doing this. Watch the cows feed
ing in the pasture. They reach out
their long tongues. aEd gather in O
mouthful Of grass, breaking it off with
peculiar twist as it comes against
their lower teeth. They cannot bite 1t
off, since they have no upper teeth
in front. The horse gathers in the
grass with his lips and bites it off be-
tween his teeth. For this reason
horses can eat grass down much closer
to the ground than cattle can.
After the food is taken into the
mouth it is chewed and mixed with
saliva. This saliva serves two pur-
poses-to moisten the food and to
change some Of the starch to sugar.
This change is brought about by the
action Of engines which, the saliva
contains. These work in the same
way as do the engines in germi-
mating seed, which prepare the food
for the little plant.
Sugar and starch, as we have learn
ed, are both composed Of carbon, by
drogen and oxygen, the only differ
ence being that they are put together
in little different way. The action
of the engines changes the relation
of these elements in the starch ar
ranging them in such manner as to
form sugar.
All the starch in the food must be
changed to some form of sugar be-
fore 1t can be used by the animal in
building up the various parts Of its
body. Since the food remains in the
mouth only a comparatively short
time, however, only small part of the
starch can be acted upon there. The
rest is changed later, as we shall see.
The main purpose of the saliva is to
moisten the food. This moistening. to-
gether with the chewing, reduces it to
a moist, finely divided mass, ready
to be swallowed and acted upon by
the other digestive juices.
While the essential processes Of d.
gestion are the same for all animals
the way in which the work is carried
on varies somewhat The horse and
the hog have but one stomach. AS
the food enters this a churning mo-
ton begins, which gradually forces
the partially digested mass along to-
ward the lower end. The saliva con-
tinues to act on the starch, and anoth-
err fluid, the gastric Juice, is poured

Had to Bow TO Custom

The late King Oscar OF Sweden was
the least conventional Of monarchs,
but he had to courtesy to custom new
ertheless.. The king and M. BONNER,
the botanist, met as strangers while
out in search of flowers near Stock
holm. They were soon the best Of
friends, and BONNER suggested lunch
at his inn.
aCome home with me instead" said
the other.
When the way led to the palace
gates BONNER hesitated.
I'm sorry" said his companion.
"but I happen to be the king OF this
country, and this is the only place
where car arter.ain my friends"

BEER TOO CHEAP NOW.


If an additional tax must be placed
on anything that we drink, let it be
placed on beer and it's allied mixtures.
Beer can stand it. It is true that the
consumption of beer has been some-
what injured by the progress of tenn
perance but there is no reason why
beer should be so cheap. 1t is, if any
thing, too cheap now. If it We're 10
cents a glass, perhaps there would be
only half as much beer consumed.
Then the brewers and sellers would
make just as much money and the
people would have less of. it in their
systems.
