Economy Of Costly Foods.

The economy Of expensive foods is
explained by the fact that digestion,
at least In man, is dependent upon
fiavOrs, without which 1t is so defec-
tive that we do not obtain the good Of
the food we swallow. As far as eX-
periments 90, they substantiate these
assertions, for the sight and smell Of
pleasing food start the flow Of d.
gestive fluids, while disageeable doors
and sight stop it. Delicatessen, then,
would seem to be staples, for they are
necessary. The talk Of being able to
subSist on a few cents a day Is simply
nonsense and leads to deterioration Of
health. What seems to be eXtrava.
gance In food purchases may be
wholesome instinct. The high cost Of
living is partly due to the cost Of the
fiavors we need. We commend these
IDEAS to our worthy dleterie ecOnO-
mists. Laymen may not be so foolish
as the psychologists themselves. =

novel method Of advertising his store

jected to be denuded Of all his stock,
but his mysterious customer demanded
the stamps over the counter, sheet aft.
er sheet, as an ordinary member Of
the public until he had bought every
stamp to be had. Then he took the
stock over to his store across the road
and plastered his windows with no
tees that postage stamps were only
to be had at his store, and to his NOR
tihcation the postmaster had to send
customers across to the store over the
way for any stamps they needed until
some days after he once more got in a
stock from headquarters.
