af on .t6rchy foods, such as potatoes,
are often afflicted by what Is known
by the rather Elegant term of "po-
tato belly'-tecnnically. dilatation OF
the stomach.
Now the stomach has precisely the
need of something solid" in the way
of meat upon which to ''set its grip,
as it were. And this something solid
is that very unehewed chunk of meat"
which Rover will watch for with a
keen and eagerly anticipating eye, and
let slip untouched down his esopha-
gus the moment it is dropped into bis
mouth.
have never undertaken to feed my
self for any length of tire with fine
ly powdered meat or the theory of
saving my stomach its work" II
there is any one thing the stomach
needs, it is work. And feeding it with
ground meat, or too well chewed meat,
or meat that is chewed more than suf-
ficient to make it swallowable, unques,
toinably deprives the stomach of the
work that it and its ancestral stom-
achs have been accustomed for ages
to do.
Nature, in the machinery of diges-
ton, has given us capital hint as to
how our food, animal and plant, should
be ingested. The mouth is provided
with juices that dig 1t only starchy
foods; and the stomach is provided
with juices that digest only animal
food, with the possible exception of
fat. This fatless animal food (called
proteids by chemists) is attacked by
the juice of the stomach, say rather
by certain substances in the gastric
juice Called ferments), principally
pepsin, and is made ready to be still
further acted upon by the juice of the
pancreas, when it is turned over by
the stomach to the small intestine.
The pancreas, in fact, and not the
stomach, Is the main organ of diges-
ton. With equal ease it digests ami
NAL food of every kind, including fat;
and likewise all the starchy foods
which have been only partly digested
in the mouth. The Germans signif1-
cantly call the pancreas the "abdom-
nal salivary gland" Theoretically we
would dc quite well without either
stomach or mouth. The famous Ger
man psychologist, Ludwig, reported
that two of his dogs lived for several
years in above-normal health with no
stomachs at all.
The moral Of all this would seem to
be: Chew well your starchy foods, If
your hobby inclines you to that prac
tice, and you have the necessary time
to spare, but bolt your meat like
Rover.

and this tradition is encouraged, not
only by professional faddists, but also
by medical advisers, who, in many
cases, have their own reasons for do
ing so, but who, as a general thing, be-
lieve that a thorough mastication as
sists digestion.
Now this latter notion is only half
a truth. Thorough chewing will, I'M
questionably, digest, or help to digest,
certain kinds of food, but only GER
tain kinds. On other kinds it has no
digestive effect whatever.

KNEW WHAT A LICENSE WAS
Small Marjorie Ready With an ExpIa
nation That Threw Light on the
Subject.

Marjorie and Paul were playing rail-
road train on the floor of the sitting
room and Aunt Sue, who was visiting
their mother, was embrcidering what
Marjorie persisted in calling a "cen-
ter-pede" FOR the table. After the
railroad cars had been duly wrecked"
and all the passengers killed off, the
sport began to cloy and the attention
of the two youngsters began to wan
der. PauFs eye fell upon the fig
ure Of his aunt in the sunny window,
bending over her needlework.
Aunt Sue?" began Paul.
Yes, dear"
Don't you ever get lonesome when
we amt around, or anybody"
"Well-perhaps; what makes you
ask, Paulie!"
we'll just was wonderin'. You
haven't any little boys or girls of
your own, have you, Aunt Sue?"
why, no, Paul; I'm not even mar
rted, you know"
Paul thought a few seconds over
this. But you're grown up, Aunt Sue.
Ain't-ain't you old enough to get
married? Mother says"
ooh, yes, Paul, I'm old enough"
Aunt Sue, as a matter of fact, was
at that very moment watching out the
window with one eye for the post
man to bring a Certain Letter, but she
didn't feel equal to explaining in full
to Paul. For the sake of making some
sort of answer she replied to her
small nephew who was patiently await
ing explanations: But you know,
Paul, you can't do these things all in
a minute. Why, before l ever got mar
ried I'd have to get a license"
Paul looked greatly puzzled. He
had not supposed it was such a COM
pEcated business-besides, what was
a license, anyway?
Whats "a license, Auntie Sue?"
he inquired with much interest. Sis
ter Marjorie, who had five years to her
credit and had hitherto taken no part
in the conversation, aroused herself
and gazed at her brother in candid
scorn.
We'll, Paul, if you amt the stupid
est boy not to know! 1 license is
what you get before you can have a
dog"

Paper Irvine and Fabrics.

After 10-years' study of the hand
spun paper yarns and twines used In
China and Japan long ago, and the
attempts made in the United States
some 20 years ago to spin paper yarns
for textile purposes, Carl Pontus He'll
burg of Holmsted, Switzerland, claims
to have solved the problem by using
pine fibre and improved methods of
treatment IL manufacture. After de-
scribing previous difficulties and fail.
ures, Mr.. Hellburg says:
'The appearance and strength of
the yarn will depend on the quality Of
the paper. From Swedish kraft a
very strong yarn is obtained. In or
der to obtain an absolutely first-class
yarn from pine fiber, finished paper
made from the very best sulphite or
sulphate pulp must be used, this pulp
to be made from the slow-growing
white pine which is found in Russia.
Finland, Sweden, Norway, Canada and
the United States. The spinning of
yarn from finished paper gives that
yarn suitable strength. 1t has also
been proved by the trials have made
that Swedish kraft paper gives a yarn
20 to rs per cent stronger than other
kinds of paper.
Putting aside the advantage of OBJ
tanning a stronger yarn by using fin
ished paper instead of pulp, there is
no saving in producing yarn from the
pulp direct, as the pulp, or half-made
paper, as it should be called, in order
to be spun has to be subjected to the
same treatment as in making paper,
with the exception of the finishing"

EMPLOYER Asks Youth to Work
Six Nights a Week Without
Any Extra Pay.
REFUSAL BRINGS DISCHARGE
Lsd in This Case Is Fortunate to GET
Out of Such a Position, but Must
Remember to BE Tactful
and Considerable.

H. w. T. is young and ambitious
He has Just been discharged from his
first position and he feels that he is
the victim of gross injustice on the
part of his employer.
There are few things more pathetic
than the helpless rage and incredible
establishment of very young man
when he first comes into painful con-
tact with the blind and crushing
forces that often control modern bust
ness.
In his youthful dreams he has built
up a more or less ideal world, with
himself as the conquering hero.
He wakes to find himself caught be-
tween the irresistible millstones of
commerce, the victim OF what seems
plain injustice, his virtues often uI-
recognized, his important plans and
personality treated with scanty con-
sideration.
He feels that were the facts but
known the whole world would sympa-
thize with him and denounce those
who have treated him unjustly.
In that bitter and perfectly natural
frame of mind H. w. T. tells the story
of his discharge. His first position in
the office of big corporation paid
him So a week. Being ambitious and
feeling the need of a better education
he entered the night course of a bust
ness college. Three evenings a week
bo C4b
three he spent in study, often burning
the midnight oil.
Presently the business of the cor
poration which employed him took a
squirt. His boss asked him to work
nights. BY the advice Of his parents
he willingly consented to put in three
nights a week at his desk. But that
was not satisfactory. 1t was demand
ed that he work six nights a week.
That would, of course, have put an
end to his studies in college. Again
with parental counsel he declined to
make the sacrifice and was instantly
discharged.
There can be no question that a
corporation which expects its en-
ployes to work nights six nights a
week, without paying for the extra
time, is unjust and unfair If such
demands occur frequently it may be
set down as fairly certain that the
managers of the corporation are eth
er incompetent or overgreedy.
Under the best conditions and ex-
cept in cases of emergency overtime
work is rarely profitable. At the end
of regular day no man is in condi-
ton to do his best or even good work,
without putting an unusual strain on
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1911-08-15
DEMANDS TOO MUCH

his powers. That fact is recognized
both by competent employers, who or
der overtime work with the greatest
reluctance, and by all organized work
ers, who exact mere pay for overtime
than for regular work.
To H. w. T., personally, few sug-
gestions may be made. A very young
man is almost always lacking in tact.
He is likely to put things bluntly and
abruptly. When an obstacle rises in
his path he magnif1es it into a noun
tain and tries to climb straight up its
steep sides, when. perhaps, there is
an easy path around it. He does not
know that many battles are won by
appearing to yield.
Corporation managers are, after all,
very human. And, in common with
most men. they have a great SYM
pathy for an ambitious and industriou
youth. 1t may be that if H. w. T.
had with apparent willingness, accept
ed the order for overtime work, his
manager would, a little later, have
arranged to give him time for his
study and recitations.
H. W. T. will find, as he grows old
er, how to use tact in dealing with his
superiors in business, without at all
hurting his own self-respect. In the
meantime he cannot go far wrong so
long as he is guided by the greater ex-
perience and worldly wisdom of his
father and mother.

TALE WITH A MORAL

was necessary for me to become a
family helper. A new concern opened
in the town and l got job on trial
at So a week. was to do anything
l was asked to do, anything to my
strength and ability.
"The storehouse was on the bank of
the river convenient to the steamboat
landing. 1t was pastime in these
days-we who have made the fight
like to recur to such days-for rival
steamboats, on their return voyage
down the river-Our town was the
head of navigation-to run UP g mile
or so above the landing and from that
point turn and race by the water front
until they reached the bend and dis
appeared. 1t was a great event for
the people Of the town and lots of fun
for the steamboat folks.
"On one occasion the boss of the
establishment where I was holding
my first job, and some of the employ
es of the concern were putting in
place the scales on which freights
were to be weighed. The rod connect
ing the machinery of the platform
with the upright and arm of the scales
was put in my hands. ! was to hold
the rod until the necessary arrange
ment was made to perfect the whole.
while stood at my post somebody
in the store cried out: They're off,
That meant that two steamers had
started on the race. The boss and ev-
cry man under him scampered through
the back door to the levee to watch
the run. 1 know If I let go the rod all
the work woul have to be done over
again, and l stood there like another
Casablanca, of whom you may have
heard before you went to college. I
was there when the boss and his force
returned. My faithfulness enabled
them to finish the job they had begun.
All the while they were talking about
the race.
"At the end OF the week the boss
informed me that while l was nice
boy and faithful the concern would
not need my services any longer. May
be hadn't the sort of stuff in me that
the concern required, but from that
time until I reached the point that
has enabled me to take you into this
concern 1 never missed an opportunity
to mix little fun in my business, es-
pecially when the man higher up took
the lead. There is such thing, my
boy, as being too blamed faithful, but
you must use judgment in letting &C"
Fine, dad" said the junior. Il reck-
on I'll hold the rod a little while long
er. There'u be other races"
