Reidinger is we'll known as an officer, having served as a deputy under Sheriff Major Mccoy. When Major McCoy's term of office expired, Mr. Reidinger took position as assistant superintendent of the Pine Bluff corporation and served in this capacity for three and one-half years. Later he was appointed night chief of police for the city and for five years served to the satisfaction of all concerned. During the past two years he has been deputy under Sheriff Brewster.

son is that the vibration of the heavy traffic
on the latter causes the concrete foundations
to disintegrate, even II the thickness of the
concrete is In excess Of the now frequently
adopted twelve-ineh 0aandard.d
The fact that thinner foundations can be
used with rubber roads can be set against the
extra cost of the rubber blocks though even
then the costs will not be equal But the life
OF the rubber road may be expected to be so
much greater as to more than compensate for
the extra cost apart from the advantages
OF silence and the prevention OF skidding and
sideslip Of vehicles.
The latter claim may at first sight appear
a somewhat remarkable one, but it is a fact
that the rubber road sections that have al
ready been laid have proved to be most eff
fective "non-skids." Even when covered with

DIGEST the Most
Important Part

A the Institute OF Physiology, at st. Petersburg
~ FIVE hundred dogs secretng in test tubes the
= socalled psychic juices Of the digestive system
for the benefit Of science These the digestive
juices which every animal including begins to
secree at the sight smell anticipation OF food
before swallowing tasting any Of 1t. The excl
taton OF these juices is most important part Of the
work OF digestion. They FIRST discovered by the
celebrated Professor j. p. Pavov the director OF the
St. Petersburg Institute, who has been studying their
nature and uses since
Pavlov IS said to have been the first scientist to
study in living animals the work OF the digestive glands
under strictly normal conditions Professor Pavlov has
made opening in the throat Of dog that the food
may be allowed TO fall out before reaching the som
ach may be allowed to reach that organ through the
closing of the artificial opening. When the food does
not reach the stomach the psychic juice flows just
the same proving that 1t is excited through the
and through mechanical contact with the food So
the professor has practsed series Of openings
into all the parts Of the digestive system OF the dog
from which all the different types Of digestive

juices varies according to the composition of the food
eaten. The secretion is not due to the mechanical
action OF the food the walls OF the stomach It
is not caused solely mainly by the chemical action
OF these substances.
Two factors intervene in the production of the gas

important one is psychic" mental might say
This Is shown by the following experiment: dog
that receives ordinary meal of ten meat
secretes during the following hour about fourenths of
an ounce Of very active gastric Juice. On the other
hand, dog whose oesophagus has been opened and
whose stomach receives directly the amount of
meat seoretes in the time only onetenth Of an
ounce Of gastric Juice showing that this is due
to chemical action.
The dog who has received Fictitious repast" that
is to say, who has eaten meat which has reached
his stomach because it has fallen through the hole
In his throat secretes during the following
tenths Of ounce of very active gastric Juice This
latter Is the psychic Juice also called appetite Juice
1t Is the first of the two kinds to be secreted and 1t
much the most important, both in quantity and in
effect The discovery of this juice has given us in
formation not only about the animals digestive ap-
paratus but also about his mental life sensations de-
sires and nervous system
The salivary glands, especially the parotd gland
in the throat, reveal than the stomach the
relations between the digestive system the mental
life OF the animal When the professor threw little
stones into the mouth OF the dog dropped in sand or
