When | say food chemistry l do not mean that
cooks, housewives and chefs should be food chemists
but every who prepares food for the table should
know what things to together and what things
should not be served together.
The wrong use of desserts is perhaps the most in
furious of all our eating habits.
The custom OF taking something sweet at the close
of meal originated with the ancients, when sweet
things were very scarce and served last as a great
delicacy.
Among many Of the ancient tribes sweets were
known only to very wealthy and were served at the
close Of great display extreme hospitality
and wealth
There was some in ancient times for serving
sweets at the close of meal, but the present day
when sugar is so plentiful and so cheap, the custom
should be reversed.
dessert is nearly always taken after we have
eaten all need of plain food 1t is therefore just
that much which the body cannot and if it
digested and assimated it stored up in the form Of
fat and it is dgested and asmilaed it under
goes fermentation which is the first step in decompo-
sition. This makes gas produces congestion in the j.
testines, clogs the liver, and is the source of
about twentyOne different disorders, which all dag
nosed and treated different diseases
do not recommend the use Of sweets especially or
binary cane sugar but if have these things upon
the bill of fare should eat them first Having the
best first would not be apt of the
and palmer food.

The natural hunger of a healthy person usually calls
for what the body needs If sweets are demanded they
would undoubtedly better at the beginning of the
meal and if they then called for by natural
hunger they should not be Thus it is that
a good meal ispoled by a sweet at its close.
The following desserts be taken with reasonable
safety with any ordinary meal:
Gelatin, junket egg custard, pure homemade ice
cream baked apple without sugar prune whip, dates,
figs raisins baked very ripe banana peeled
and baked seven or eight minutes in hot oven and
eaten with cream is a most delicious and healthful
dessert.
The following articles most commonly used as des-
sers could not be recommended by any meal by one
who understands their chemical action:
Cake pies of all kinds, plum pudding, corn starch
pudding and any form of dessert made Of fruit and
pastry The pastry is made crisp with fat, which is
tremey difficult digest and very the liver
while the fruit has tendency to ferment the starch,
especially because the amount of grease it contains
slows up its digestion
Acid fruits, such oranges lemons, pneapples,
should never be taken with meals. No combina-
ton could be put together than grape fruit oatmeal
sugar cream and coffee, and this is the conven-
tfona breakfast. The coffee produces an excess OF
hydrochloric acid which, supplemented by the citrc
acid of the grape fruit ferments the starch of the oat
meal which produces gas in both the stomach and III.
testines. This combination also makes the into

Telephone Poles
Made of Glass

n TEAR Frankfort, in Germany there is a manufac-

When the DAYS Will
Begin to Grow LONGER

Only rarely do large meteorites fall, but tiny
PARTICLES are constantly added to it. Of
course. this would take thousands and thou
sands of years to make the slightest differ
ence in the revolutions of the earth, and
would be largely offset by a slight shrink
age as the earth cools.
Astronomical observations extending over
period of more than two thousand years
have failed to show any sensible changes
in the day, but the influences of the tides
must become evident after lapse of a great
many years One authority has declared that
the day may lengthen until it is at least fifty
five times as long as it is now; and that
would be the period of the revolution of the
moon around the earth However from all
reckoning, such a day of thirteen hundred
and twenty hours will not come for millions

sudden stoppage and jerks is a constant sideways
strain, and muscles which not adapted for it are
compelled to take up the burden of holding the body
more or less rigid against the force which sways one
rearward as the advances and forward the car
is checked. To sway the body backward and forward
from the hips entails practically fatigue, for al
most every movement of the body is accompanied by
this but to sway sideways-not from the hip, but by
the curyng Of the spine to either side, is firing in
the extreme.
It has been calculated that when a street car
travelling ten miles an hour is brought to stop, the
energy represented in the checked velocity is equal
to pressure of ten pounds upon the area OF the sur
face Of every passenger or in other words that every
time a car travelling at an ordinary rate of speed
comes to a stop, it is equal to every passenger being
pushed from his balance by tenpound weight
When however, the car comes to a stop with a jerk
the actual energy is not increased but given sharp
ness of action so that if the car came to stop sud
denly under an emergency brake, the effect would
be the same being hit with stone weighing ten

WHY You Should NEVER RIDE SIDEWAYS

a GROWING intelligence on the part of street
~ car companies is gradually aboishing the old
type of street in which the seats ran
lengthwise of the and by doing so they have
added a year two to the lives of the poor unfor
Inmates who we're compelled to ride on them. The
street car passenger has always been conscious Of
the fact that the sdewise seat firing, but never
realized to how great extent his life was actually
shortened by the muscular and nervous exhaustion
they caused, One of the explanations why commit
ing to a distance has not been found more crippling
to the energy than living in the city in which
works but at considerable distance from the place
of employment is that the commuter usually rides in
a train, with seats crosswse and with far fewer
stops.
Man is not crab and does not move sideways
with any degree of ease His muscles not formed
for that mode of advance. Let anyone who is in
doubt on this point try sideways for hundred
yards at a fair rate of speed-the strain upon the

IF anyone has ever worried over the claims
that have been made that our days will
- become longer. they should cease their
worrying right now, unless they have drunk
of the fountain of eternal youth, because the
greatest OF astronomers and mathematicians
have agreed that while it is true the days
will become longer. the rate of their increase
will be about $50 OO0 years for the first addi-
tional second.
II has been pointed out that a weight on
a string revolved around the finger will in
crease ITS revolution as the string winds up.
In the same way, claims have been made,

There seems to be no question but what
slight additions to the earth result as it con
stantly arrests and holds meteoric bodies.
