FOOD AND DIGESTION.

Robust persons. SO long as they get what suits their own uncultivated taste. are apt to make very light of what they call "fancies' about food and overlook their real importance. says Sir Ray Lankester in the Lon don Telegraph. Feeding on the part of civilized man is not the simple procedure which it is with animals. although many animals are particular as to their food and what is called dainty" The necessity for civilized meals and for the absence of mental anxiety is universally recognized. as well as the importance of an inviting appeal to the appetitei through the sense of smell and sight. while the injurious effect of the reverse con- ditions. which may lead to nausea and even vomiting. is admitted.

 A report on trade conditions in southern Nigeria in 1905 published in the Lagos Government Gazette. says: Good as the results have been. it is not altogether surprising that our small farmers have taken so kindly to this product. for it is one which entails very little outlay and the results are quickly seen. It is the first coarse cultivated short-crOp product f"r which the native agriculturists have had a free and ready market in unlimited quantities. and that fact will. believe.

 The growing maize is well under stood by the natives of Africa. They will not usually grow in large quanti- ties for exporting any article with which they are not familiar. and for which they cannot readily obtain a price that satisfies them. The cultiva- tion of maize meets their requiremep-s. and for this reason it would seem that it is destined to soon become a com mercial prOduct-MonrOe N. Work. in the Southern Workman.

THE PRAYER RUGS
 OF THE NAVAJOS
The Many Uses to Which They Are
 Applied.

For some years there has been a demand. which has been growing stronger. for the Navajo prayer rugs which are more commonly called pill lowtops. They are woven by the Navajo Indians. some out of native wool and some out Of Germantown yarn. They are used extensively as pillowtops. standcovers and floor mats and beside. have a variety of other uses.
 A small shipment of these rugs due at Balke's Big Curio store for the holiday trade. has just been re ceived and will be sold at the closing out sale prices.
 These rugs were made by the In dians originally for use in their re ligiOus ceremonials but their size was so convenient for other purposes that there came to be a demand for them and they have since been made in

large quantities. In the first place they were all made of native wool but that was too harsh for some Of the purposes for which they were desired and since then many of them have been made of the softer Ger mantown yarn.
 A larger size than those commonly made has been much in demand but they have been very hard to obtain But in the shipment just received at the Big Curio store there are few about one yard square. made of the native wool The price at which they are going is an extra attraction.

Some state chemists believed this a

much the better way would be to elm
however certain we may be that the

: Another statement objected to read as
follows:
THE system will absorb greater
amount of nourishment from one pound
of Grape-Nuts than from ten pounds of
meat, wheat, oats, or bread"
Some Department chemists deceive
themselves as well as the public.
"Caloried" is the word which defines a
unit of heat determined by the amount
necessary to raise one kilogram of water
one degree centigrade. On this basis
table of calories is prepared showing the
percentage of different kinds Of food.
Butter shows $50; Grape-Nuts 800;
lWilk 0.70. Remember the statement on
the package spoke of the nourishment the
Gystem would absorb, but did not speak OF
the calories Of heat contained in it, for
the heat is not nourishment, and the
nourishment cannot be judged by the
Enumber of heat units. notwithstanding
the fact that certain chemists would have
the public believe 30.
