nicely served meal which has been
properly prepared.
When We are hurried or worried
we should be most careful as to the
choice and amounts of food eaten, as
under such circumstances the diges-
ton is retarded and if crowded too
hard must give way.
Yet II Is as much of a fault to eat
too slowly as too quickly. The key
note to the whole thing is that the
food must be properly masticated
and insalivated before it passes into
the stomach.
There is also a widespread popular
notion that II is harmful to healthy
adult to drink fluid with his meals,
but this is entirely erroneous. For
the healthy adult from five to elgnt
ounces of fluid taken at intervals
during the meal may be considered a
proper amount, always provided the
fluid Is drunk between the mouthfuIs
and not while the food Is still in the
mouth In other words, it is HARM
full to wash the food from the mouth
into the stomach.
1t is necessary from the habits of
our ancestors that we should take
our food sitting at a table in rest
full manner. and II Is for this rea-
son that the lunch counter is the
cause of many digestive ailments.

TRUST BILLS DEAD,
IS HOPE OF BUSINESS
Belief Based on Presidents An
nouncement That Program
Is Complete.

| Democratic leaders today made IT very
plain that they expect a decided i'm
provement in business conditions in the
near future. They base this belief On
the announcement by President Wilson,
in his message yesterday, that the Ad-
ministration business program is COM
plete.
This was construed by them TO mean
that the bill giving the Interstate Com
merce Commission Jurisdiction over all
future issues of railway securities. and
half dozen suggested amendments to
the antitrust law have been permanent
ly sidetracked. And because of this
business interests are expected to i'm
mediately begin adjustment of their af-
fairs TO the existing laws.
All that remains for the completion of
the Presidents business program is the
nomination and confirmation of his Fed
eral Trade Relations Commission of five
members. This commission. il is under
stood. will be selected by the end of
next week. So far only one person is
certain Of appointment. That is Joseph
Dawes, OF Wisconsin. now Commissioner
of Corporations. whose office is aboI-
ished when the new commission is Gre
ated.
The present understanding is that the
commission will comprise two lawyers
OF whom Davies is one-two business
men, one Of whom shall have had ex-
perience in foreign trade. and one
economist. The President has let II be
known that there will be no prelimin-
airy announcement Of his selections. His
experience with the publicity given the
men he wanted to serve on the Federal
Reserve Board has convinced him. he
has told his friends. that il Is best to
say nothing about his selections until
the list is ready TO send to the Senate
II was stated at the White House to-
day that numerous letters and kilograms
OF con%ratulaiiOn on his announcement
to business men have already been re
ceived by the President from various
sections Of the country
