INFLUENCE OF SALT WATER
Il Induces Some TO Drink, Others to
BE Profane, and Others to Tell
Falsehoods.

When riding on the harbor steam
boats use your ears. Then you will
not need your eyes nor your brains. By
paying heed to the Intentionally audi
BILE remarks Of your neighbor 1t will
be possible to pick up more inaccurate
information than in any other place in
the city. The deck of a ferry or the
rail Of steamer acts curiously on the
human mind. II 1t does not know. 1t
will risk guess. and the wilder the
guess the more willingly risked.
1t is we'll known that salt water acts
in freakish ways on the conscience. To
some It brings an overwhelming i'm
pulse to get drunk; to others it brings
a disposition to the freeest use Of pro.
family: and still others. who would
never think Of fibbing from the win.
dows Of railroad train (dear old gen.
tlemen, and innocent young girls). the
instant they put of from the wharf be-
gin to tell the most shocking whop-

Fatteninu Foods.

White bread is fattening because we
rarely digest 1t completely. Starchy
foods are quite unaffected by the gas.
trio juices which digest the meats.
Their digestive ferments are obtained
chiefly from the saliva In the mouth.
which therefore should be thoroughly
mixed with each mouthful before
swallowing. But white bread is 30 soft
and lacking in substance that we un-
consciously swallow 1t long before 1t
has had fair chance to become suf.
