HE STOMACH.

its Power to Resist I4 Own, Gastric
 Juices Is Puzzle.
 One of the greatest questions dis turbing the minds of physiologists both past and present is that of the stomach's digesting powers. It is asked why the stomach does not digest itself. It is well known that gastric juices have the power to digest the tis- sue of which the stomach is made. One of the things actually manufac- tured by the body. secreted in the glands near the stomach and poured into 1t. is hydrochloric acid. a power ful agent that will eat up almost any thing. Why it does not eat the stomach up is problematical.
 It is known that a stomach from dead animal or man can be digested by a living man. It has been found out also that when a man is killed accidentally and his stomach is in the process of digesting, if the body be kept warm. his whole stomach will be digested and possibly. too. adjacent organs, as liver. pancreas, etc. From this it was argued that the ''principle or hfe' kept the process from going on in a living being. Subsequently. however. this was proved to be untrue. A living frog was put in an uncon- scious condition and his leg inserted through a small hole in a dogs stomach. the dog being alive and we'll. 1t was found that the frogs leg was wholly digested in the process. al- though living. So the last reason con- ceivable was proved incapable of ex- plaining the phenomenon.
 About the only conclusion left is that the stomach does gradually actually eat itself up. but that it is being con- stantly rebuilt. However. as this ex- pertinent is hard to perform and as no results have so far been announced in this direction. we are left in a state of absolute ignorance. and all we can do is to be devoutly thankful to Provi- dence that our stomachs do not digest themselves except in the ordinary course of human events.-Lawrence Hodges in New York Tribune.

REGENERATION OF NURSE CRYSTAL
 EXPECTED TODAY

With Attorney Robert K. Gould to represent Miss Ladd and Attorney J. J. Phelan to conserve the interest of Miss Crystal, the board of charities convened at o'clock this afternoon to pass upon the charges of neglect of duty brought against Miss Crystal by Miss Ladd. Miss Crystal is the nurse in charge of the LakevleW Home Tuberculosis hospital, while Miss Ladd is in the employ of the Visiting Nurse Association and her duties brought her into contact with Miss Crystal dt the city institution.
 The board heard evidence two weeks ago and today expected to pass upon the charges when 1t became known that the two attorneys wished to be heard. The appearance of the law yers lent new interest to the case.
 While the evidence disclosed a lack If harmony in the administration of affairs at Lakeview it failed to develop very substantial proof of the shock ing condition alleged, and it was gen. eralIy expected that the board would exonerate Miss Crystal.
 Attorney John J. Phelan, counsel for Miss Crystal, on the redirect ex- animation went into the real facts about the troubles between the two nurses He brought out that there was trouble between Miss Crystal and Rev. Father GOmpn, rector OI Trinity curch. During the illness of Mrs. Dacey Father Gomph desired to give her holy communion. He directed Miss Crystal to have table ready with new linen when he called in the morning.
 When he did call, he was angry because Mrs Dacey had not been kept fasting. Miss Crystal had given Mrs. Daeey, food. On Palm Sunday Fath- CT Gomph was angered when he mo- tited a piece of palm in Mrs. Dacey's hands. On inquiry he found that it was given her by Miss Crystal who is a Catholic. He told Mrs. Dacey that she had no right to accept it.

In taking apart the mechanism of a car care should be exercised to avoid mistakes when the parts are put to- gether. When the gears are unmesh- ed, which have to do with the timing of the valves of the ignition, they should be so marked that they can be remeshed in the same relation. Mark the tooth of one gear of pair and the two teeth of the other gear. be- tween which this tooth meshes, by means of a prick punch and hammer. Even when kerosene oil is mixed with the water with which the motor car bodies are cleaned the greatest care should be taken to see that none of the liquid comes into contact with the tires, because of it's slower rate of evaporation. kerosene has an even more injurious effect upon the rubber of the cases than does gasoline
