BAD FOR THE STOMACH.
When Non-fatty Foods Are Intimately
Mixed With Grease

The stomach never has the least pow
err of digesting true fat. This Is dis
posed of in the intestines. When eat

butter. etc, the fat separates out in
the stomach and does not in the least
interfere with the work of the gastric
juice on the other food, but when
non-fatty food has been intimately mix
ed with grease the latter prevents the
gastric juice getting at the food it
could digest.
Fish fried in oil or butter is by no
means the most marked example. as
the fat does not penetrate very deeply
Potatoes mashed with butter are rath-
err worse. and minced vegetables fried
with butter are bad offenders. The
reason advanced explains why pork
is difficult Of digestion. The muscular
fbers are mixed up with fat cells, and
by the liberation Of the oil in each
tiny cell the eaten pork is made into
an oily paste.
A very strong stomach will do the
work required. but it is not fair task
to impose frequently. and weak stom-
ach will refuse to do anything beyond
reminding its owner by few stabs
that it will not stand such treatment

ERRORS OF SPEECH.
Common Abuse Of the Verbs to Got, to
Lay and to lie.

lay anu W -iSs
The verb to get is one Of our much
misused words. 1t means to acquire,
win, obtain, and primarily it signifies
the putting forth of effort to attain
something. Consequently it is not only
superfuous, but incorrect. to speak of
q man as getting drowned" or get
ting SICK" and you may unfortunately
have a cold" but it is impossible that
you have got cold"
At this moment no exceptions occur
to the writer to the rule that got should
never be used in connection with have,
which alone sufficiently expresses pos
session. Say II have the picture" not
II have got the picture" THE dog
has a broken leg" not The dog has
got broken leg"
The irregular verbs lay and lie are
frequently COMPOUNDED. Lay is an ac-
tive or transitive verb. and lie is pas
sive or intranstive. We lay things
down or have laid them down, but we
and things lie at rest You lie down,
have lain down. will lie down or are
lying down. She lay down yesterday
and is going to lie down this afternoon.
A frequent error Is to confound the
past lenses of these verbs. One should
say, MARY laid the book on the table
and lay down herself" but the book
lies on the table.-Exchange.
