HEALTH TALKS
(By DR.. r. R. Daniels.)
HEALTHOGRAMS.

Coffee, tobacco, and too much
heavy food bring on old age rapidly.
Pie is an expensive food; IL forces
the stomach toexpend large amount
uf energy that should be used In di-
costing real food.
Ii your chicken dinner disagree it
is not because OF the chicken. The
dumpllngs or stuffing, the thickened
gravy, and the dessert are the real
miscreants.
The fall is not necessarily an un
healthful season. IL is the time
when the body begins to show the
bad effects OF the usual heavy diet 10
hot weather.
Sweets are not good food to eat
With a meat meal, the sweets affect
the lining membrane OF the stomach
in such mant er as TO prevent the
proper secretion Of the digestive fluids
that digest the meats,
The lean portion Of pork is hard to
digest, when fried IL is almost ind
gestih,e. The fat, quite to the con-
trsry, is easily digesled; in fact, the
fat Of pork is the most easily digested
OF all meat foods.
The average hot cake contains the
same amount OF -four as the average
Slice OF toast. But the hot cake uses
up four times the digestive energy,
and since at best 1t can be only par
TALLY digested, 1t furnishes the body
much less food than the toast.
Milk is a food, one which contains
far more nourishment than is usually
supposed; hence it. should not be used
as a beverage, 1t should not be drank
at any and al times. When you
drink milk between meals you are
eating food, which means that you
are either interruptlng the digestion
OF the previous meal or robbing the
stomach OF the rest necessary to the
diges ion OF the next meal.

ENGINEERS in charge of the Panama Canal
r. have just made the surprising discovery
that the Pacific Ocean is flowing up hill.
Without any pressure upon it, water from the
Pacific makes it's way through the canal locks
into Mirafores Lake, eight miles away and fifty
FIVE feet above sea level in quantities sufficient
to make the lake too salt for use as a water
supply.
What makes this feat all the more extraor-
binary is the fact that it is performed by salt
water, which is much heavier than fresh. Sci.
ence, however, believes that the waters weight

According tc writer in the Engineering News,
the only possible explanation Of the rapid prog.
ress OF such large quantities Of salt water from
the Pacific to this distant elevated lake is the
diffusion of the water In the process OF lockage
Suppose a vessel is to ascend the Mirafores
locks She enters the lock and the gates are
closed behind her. She is then floating in a
mixture containing perhaps rs per cent OF salt
water from the ocean.
The valves are opened and fresh water from
the lake above is admitted into the lock through
the openings in the bottom until the level OF the
water In the lock is raised to the level OF the
water In the upper lock. In this process of ALL
ing the lock the salt water and fresh water are
thoroughly mixed ~

Why Some WOODS WEAR WELL

THE reason why one kind of wood is more
durable than another is owing to the fact
that It contains the substance known as
tylose In more generous quantities.
Tyose is the material which fills the pores of
the wood and resists the entrance and action of
decay.
For instance, white oak Is well suited and
much used for barrel slaves, where barrels are

The water in the upper and lower locks being
now on the same level, the gates between the
two are opened and the vessel is moved into the
upper lock. While this movement is taking
place, however, the heavier salt or brackish
water in the lower lock flows into the lower part
Of the upper lock by reason of its greater specific
gravity. while the lighter fresh water in the
upper lock flows rapidly the heavier water
in the lower lock. In this manner while the
vessel Is being transferred from one lock to
the other a considerable quantity of brackish
water enters the upper lock.
The gates are then closed behind the vessel
and fresh water from the lake is admitted
through the bottom Of the upper lock until it Is
nlled TO the same level as the lake. BY this
time, certainly, the percentage Of salt water in
the upper lock chamber flows out with it and is
replaced by entirely fresh water from the lake.
