which divides the food into small par
ticles, and by the muscular contrac-
tons Of the stomach and intestine,
which help to mix the food and di-
gestiye juices together.
The parts Of the food which the di.
gestiEe juices can not dissolve are
periodically given OF by the intestine,
together with waste material from the
internal activities Of the body. 80
Digestibility is often confused with
another very different thing, namely,
the agreeing or disagreeing Of food
with the person who eats it, In the
changes which occur during the diges-
ton and assimilation of food, sub
stances may be formed which are un-
pleasant and injurious, especially IL
they are not broken down las they
normally are) before they have an
opportunity thus to act Different
persons may be differently constituted
with respect to the changes which
their food undergoes, so that 1t may
be literally true that "one mans meat
is another mans poison" Milk is
for the most part a very wholesome,
digestible and nutritious food, but
there are some who are made i'll by
drinking 1t, Some persons have TO
avoid strawberries. Every man must
learn from his own experience what
food agrees with him and what does
not.
Not only the amount of nutritive In
gradients which a food contains, but
also the proportions which can be d.
gested and utilized by the body de-
termine the real nutritive value of a
food material. AS a general rule, the
carbohydrates are more completely
digested, and hence more fully avail
able for use in the body than protein
and fats. Protein of animal foods is
more digestible than that of vegetable
foods, while fats are probably less
digestible than most forms Of protein
and carbohydrates.
The structure of most food ma
terials Is SO changed by cooking that
they are more easily chewed and more
readily and thoroughly digested.
Cooking also makes the food more
appetizing by improving the favor and
appearance. Food which is attractive
to the taste quickens the flow Of
saliva and other digestive fluids, thus
aiding digestion. Another use Of
cooking Is to kill by heat any disease
germs, parasites or other dangerous
organisms the food may contain.

POWDER AND MATCH
Judge Alden Delivers Fine Number
Or Penn Course.

Judge George D. Alden, of Boston,
spoke in the Friends church last
evening offering his lecture, "The
Powder and the Match" as the sec.
ond number of the Penn college en-.
by a good sized audience and Great.
ed the same profound impression
that he did when he delivered lee.
ture here two years ago.
Judge Alden is an exceptionally
interesting speaker He has an ex.
cellent delivery, his arguments are
presented forcefully and concisely,
and his remarks are indeed pertinent.
He tinges the seriousness of his lee
lures with peculiar vein of humor
and is an adept at telling stories. He
Is in great demand on the lecture
program and Penn college was in.
deed fortunate in securing him. The
audience last night accorded, him
splendid attention and showed Its
appreciation of his lecture by hearty
applause.
AS Judge Alden explained in the
beginning, The Powder and the
Match" was not the subject OF his
IleCture-it was merely the title. His
subject should more aptly have been
THE Health of the Nation" The
latter subject embraced a wide range
Of thought for the speaker and gave
him unlimited opportunity for ex-
pressing his views on many present
day topics. He held that the health
of the nation is vitality concerned
with four things the man, the home,
the town and the community. He
told how each should contribute to
the nations health, but branched
out into many other lines of thought
during his address.
The next number on the Penn En-,
tertainment Course will occur on
Dec. 9, when Palmetto and Bruhl,
who scored such a huge success here
last winter, will again be heard.

SOME GOOD HOUSE PLANTS
AttractIVeness Of the Homo Greatly
Increased by the Use Of Pretty
Flowers and Plants.

Asparagus plumosus Is of the most
beautiful pot plants. The dark green
leaves are lace-like and fine for cut
ting.
Asparagus sprengeri Is for vases,
hanging baskets and brackets. The
branches droop gracefully in long, deli
cate lace-like sprays and are occa
sionally covered with delicate sweet
scented white blossoms which are sue
ceeded by scarlet berries.
II you have not provided yourself
with a hanging basket they can be
had already arranged from the florist
There is nothing lovelier. Oxalis
bulbs make pretty plants and for best
effects should have been bedded soms
time ago.
One Of the best palms and the
quickest growing is the Washington
filifera. The seeds will terminate as
readily as corn, and the plant will
stand dust, dry air. lack Of sunshine
and general neglect, growing right
along in any situation and with any
treatment that will keep a geraniun
alive. 1t is a compact grower well
adapted to the living room and always
ornamental everywhere.
Another choice palm Is the Areca
Iutescens. Another still as desirable
is the Kentia forsteriana. Palms are
like one OF the family when we'll cared
for. They are always beautiful. always
useful.
Aspidistra lurida variegata is one
of the best house plants. Give Il q
compost of two parts fbrous loan, one
part old manure and one part fine
sand. 1t grows slowly, cannot be hur
ried and will endure neglect and Ill
treatment with the greatest patience
and will increase in beauty every
year. Pot early In the spring.

Lincoln Highway Expects to Cover
Distance Between New York and

Marshalltown, Nov. 25.--Tomorrow
automobiles will be driven from New
York City to San Francisco, a dis
lance Of 3,400 miles over the Lincoln
highway for the purpose OF estah'
lishing q standard time for the route,
every county, state and district conn'
sci of the highway association has
been asked by the Lincoln Highway
association to make arrangements
for the trip over ais section of the

Marshall county, has been asked to
do his share in this movement.
The plan, as prepared at the head
Quarters of the Lincoln Highway as
soeiation in Detroit, is to have each
counsel travel over his district and
10 the next town.
1t Is not presumed that the asso'
ciaion Is especially anxious to have
a high speed record attempted fol
the trip. Rather it is thought tNe as
SOCK ION wants It's, Counsels to make
the trip over the entire highway
within twelve hours so that by add

be able to announce the time that Is
possible for the autoist to make De

MUST OBEY THE RULES
City Will Rigidly Enforce Local
Health Regulations. t

A special meeting of the city coun
Gil was called Tuesday evening and
convened as board of health. Mat
tiers of utmost importance to the pub
lie health were considered and &C
ton thereon taken by the council
Scarlet fever has appeared in town
The city health physician and the
board Of health is making effort to
control the. trouble. but they say
that at every turn they are meeting
with opposition and from people who
should have the interests of the city
in view.
The school board they say, has re-
fused to pay for fumigation OF
rooms, and with the exception OF
work done at the First ward school,
the health officer has been antagon,
lied in his work Of investigation.
In addition to the problems at the
schools, individuals, 1t is said, refuse
to obey the quarantine laws. In one
case it has become necessary to hire
special police officer to guard a
place under quarantine. With in.
dividual cases also the health officer
says he has lacked the cooperation
of certain local physicians.
The Mahaska county board of sup
erVisors it was also said. refuses to
pay bills for fpmigation made with
out their approval and consent and
insists upon being consulted before
such bills are contracted. The
health officer and the board of health
have been lenient heretofore, but
from now on they announce they will
insist upon the letter of the law, even
if the court has to be called to de-
termine the position of the city. The
health officer has the full backing of
the board of health and he stands in.
structed to proceed with his work,
looking toward the control of the
present difficulties. 80
Another matter claiming attention
was the cleaning of closet vaults.
The city has an ordinance forbiiding
the covering of an Old vault, as Is
being done in many instances. The
city health officer was instructed by
the board Of health to follow out the
requirements of the ordinance in
cases of this character and the costs
will be assessed against the property
and collected as taxes in accordance
with the law governing the case.
The board adjourned to meet again
Wednesday evening following a SEES
sion of the city council that will
take up pavement assignment.
