BY DR.. HARVEY w. WILEY.
The digestion OF food of course Ii
the first step in preparing II for as
similation and for the building Of tbs
sues and for carrying on the pro
cesses OF bodily existence. Digestion
- process effected wholly by chemi
cal reagents. These reagents are
chiefly products which are known al
ferments and which do not have the
power of reproduction.
The ordinary fermentation of which
we usually think when the term is
Ing sugars by the action of yeasts
forming sugars, alcohol and carbon
dioxide. The yeast cell itself how
ever, does not take any part in the
Preventative process, but secretes
body which is called an engine and
II is this engine which produces the
fermentation.
The principal part OF the digestion
or foods Is carried on by engines OF
this kind. The saliva, TO begin with,
has the power of converting starch
into sugar. The stomach secretes an
engine, namely, pepsin, which has
the power to convert heterogeneous
bodies into lower compounds which
are soluble in water. The secretions
from the pancreas have the property
also OF emulsifying, or digesting fats,
and the whole digestive process is
simply series OF reactions OF this
kind, by means OF which the foods
which actually nourish the body are
rendered soluble.
It is divided into three principal
processes, namely, the conversion OF
starch into sugar, the conversion or
protein into proteoses and peptones,
and the splitting up of the fat mole
cule into glycerine and free acid, and
the emulsifyfng of these products in
such q way as to render them absorb
able.
A part of the digestive process is
conducted in an alkaline medium
such as that found in the saliva and
IN the secretions of the small In
|testines. Another important part OF
the operation Is conducted In an acid
medium, namely, in the stomach
xhich, during digestion is distinctly
acid from the presence OF hydro
chloric and Tactic acids. The undis-
solgabIe portions OF the food become
the excretory matter which the body
passes on in the natural way. The
digested portions Of the foods are alb
sorbed by the walls of the intestines
and thus enter the circulation.
The process of digestion is strictly
q chemical reaction and is subject to
all the laws of chemical combinations
and separations. Practically all or
these processes can be initiated by
man, and hence We may have diges-
ton in vitro, that is in glass vessels

COL. LEE TALKS UPON
 ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Judge George Leslie Buried in DOthan
 Cemetery-Turner Art Exhibit at Columbia

Columbia. February Especially )-The Houston State High school celebrated the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln Monday morning with most appropriate exercises. After the usual patriotic songs by the school Miss Mary AtlSeson, whilom pro- lessor of rhetoric of the University of West Virginia, gave several very appro- priate patriotic violin solos which were soul stirring and inspiring and the ad- dress of the occasion was delivered in a most thrilling and patriotis tone by our fellow townsman, Col. William l.. Lee upon the Nations Debt tp Lincoln"
 Among many other good things Colonel Lee emphasized to the students two things, first. the inspiration to all Amer iean youths of every stage of life, of the struggles and the Successes of this boy of poverty and obscurity who be- came the first man of his nation. and second, maintaining that Lincoln was right in his conception of the indissolti- bility of the nation. 1t was thoroughly patriotic and inspiring. This is the third public address given by the school gpd they are increasing In instructiveness and interest.
