CHEW YOUR FOOD WELL.
This Will Aid Digestion and Help to
Danish Dyspepsia.

"Chew your food WE'LL" is a mot
to which should be written large on
the walls Of dining rooms, restau-
rants and every other place where
human beings eat. The reason is
that in order to digest food in the
shortest possible time and with the
least possible effort it must first be
dissolved, and this can be accom-
plished only by adequate chewing.
Just how much thorough chewing
lessons the strain on the digestive
apparatus can be seen by a very
simple experiment.
Take a one inch cube of hard,
solid, nonporous sugar candy and
drop it into pint of water. 1t will
take at least half an hour and per-
haps much longer to dissolve be-
cause cube of this size has only
six square inches of surface exposed
to the solvent action of the water.
If, however, a similar cube of
candy is broken into 100 smaller
pieces before being placed in the
water it will dissolve 10000 times
as quickly because there is now
10000 times as much surface area
exposed.
In digestion we have to deal not
merely with simple solution, but
with the chemical conversion of in
soluble into soluble substances
much more difficult process. For
this reason a one inch cube of solid
food would take much more than
10000 times as long to digest as
the same quantity which had first
been reduced to fine bits by the ac-
ton of the teeth and the saliva
glands.
Science now believes that much
modern dyspepsia arises from our
having lost the habit of living on
hard, dry foods. When all our food
was so hard and dry that it had to
be well chewed before we could
swallow it our salivary glands were
kept more active and our teeth
cleaner.-New York American.

The Fulmar Petrol.

The fulmar petrol somewhat re-
sembles a common gull at a dis
lance, but has a much more grace
full flight, skimming the waves or
lowering by the cliffs without per-
ceptible motion of the wings. 1t
makes its nest upon the grassy
lodges and cliffs of st. Kilda and is
caught with a rod in the same way
as a putin, only as it is found on
the precipices it is more difficult to
secure. 1t was greatly valued for
merly for its oil, of which each bird
has about half a pint and which it
uses as a means of defense and
elects with great force at an enemy.
1t is the purest animal oil in ex-
istence and is still used for various
purposes and also incidentally by
the natives for sprains and bruises

A Poet of the People

The Governor of Indiana has issued a
proclamation designating October 7th as
"Riley Day." and the people of the state
are urged to devote the day to honoring
"Indiana's most beloved citizen" James
Whitcornb Riley, the Hoosier poet
Riley is worthy of the honor which the
Hoosiers purpose to show him. He is on-
of them and in .uneful harmones in the
dialect of his own people he has sung of
their homely virtues, thejoys and sorrows
of electromagnetic life in verse in which
humor, pathos and sentiment blend. His
quaint rhymes appeal to the popular
fancy; he is a poet of the people; he
touches the high and the low, the rich
and the poor,
Riley is real poet. There have been
other real poets, but Riley is almost unique
in that he accumulated wealth from
his poetry, fact more remarkable than
that he could pen poetry that eudures in
the heart of a nation.
Mr.. Riley proved the dictum that poets
are born, because his training before he
viewed the heights of Parnassus had any
thing but the poetical atmosphere. He
was at various times an itinerant sign
painter who wandered the country side
painting legends on fences, fiddler at
country dances and a member of co NJ
pany of strolling actors. In the early
eighties he began to write verse in the
Hooser dialect. His fame grew and his
volumes of poetry won the public. Riley
touched a popular chord He under
stands plain people and the plain people

Why Turkish Women Go Yelled.

Turkish women do not wear wells
because of their religion, as many
suppose 1t is merely the survival
of an old custom. When the Turks
still lived in Tartary, before the
time of Mohammed, it was the hab-
it of the men to steal such women
for wives as attracted them. This
led to so much fighting that about
the second century after Christ the
Turks came together and decided
that henceforth the women should
go yelled and should not meet men,
but dwell in harems, as soon as they
arrived at womanhood, which was
vt about eleven years of age.

the rooters generally were for the home

fans who cheered them on their good
playing. 1t was aninteresting game and
there was good playing on both sides,
but Irasburg "played the game" to per-
fiction, making hardly an error. There
are some other good teams up this way
and we would suggest that Lowell and
Morrisville could give good account of
themselves were they invited to Burling-

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect healsh we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, -Scott's Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take: its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cslls while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.
