OUR DOMESTIC SCIENCE

Since our funds are so short the School Board has found it impossible to continue the Domestic Science De- partment at the High School. At the same time We will realize that it should no be dropped from the course. Misses Beulah Hesterly and Mary Jones have consented to take the de- partment and charge a separate tui- tion for their services to those who wish to take those courses. The tui- tion for each pupil who takes these courses will be one dollar per month. provided there are as many as twen- ty-five. This is a sacrifice on the part of the teachers since they bear the expense of the department. Gre dits will still be allowed for work done in the department as heretofore.

by the other extreme of food boiling. In another recently published series of experiments on man in which vege- table products notably potatoes and bread, formed the prominent articles of diet, utilization was apparently improved by good mastication. Nei- ther these nor the earlier quoted re- suits are to be taken as an appeal for complete indifference in the matter of eating, but rather as an indication of wisdom of that happy medium in mastication which is a sign of wisdom in other functions.

For number of years we have shipped about 29,OOO horses and 5000 mules abroad annually. During the war We sent 215,759 horses and 39.- Zz9 mules across the sea. The De- partment of Agriculture believes that after the war is over millions of work anlmals will be needed in Europe, and that the United States must supply most of them. The business of breeding horses and mules promises to be unusually profitable for several years to come.

JUSTIFICATION AND FOOD
 UTILIZATION

Agaln and again in everday life we md that some dictum which neither comments itself to common sense or lends itself freely to augmentative proof is being made the basis of widespread propaganda. What was more reasonable than to assume that water ingested with meals would di- lute the gastdic juice and thus dimin- ish its efficiency? And what was more logical than to urge the abolition of such an assumedly harmful custom of water drinking? Yet investigation has showed that some of the postu- lates in this contention are wrong, and that inspected factors luther vitiate the conclusions. Indeed, under certain conditions water may even promote the gastric secretion, and thus upset these revered traditions.
 The proper mastication of food has certain obvious justifcations. It pro- notes a more extensive insalivation, which is not without advantage to cer- tain types of foodstuffs, and it permits speedier admiXture of the digestive secretions with the food. Enthusiasts have not been content with the insis- tence on these indisputable advant- ages, but have attempted to infuse ar-reaching effects into the habit of very complete mastication. We may be ready to admit that insufficient mastication is the cause of direct or indirect evils which may be greatly exaggerated in certain pathologic con- ditions. When, however, we are urged to chew our food with unremitting vigor because it'secures proper insali- vation of food, increases the quality of alkaline saliva passing into the stomach, stimulates the heart and circulation influences the nutrition of the jaws and their appendages by sti- mulating blood and lymph circulation, and, finally, tends to diminish the amount of food consumed because it is more economically disposed of in the system" one may well pause to make few related inquiries. Where is the borderine between truth and poetry" in these matters, asks The Journal of the American Medical As sociation.
 The two extremes of practice are doubtless represented by undermasti- cation, to which the epithet "Fletch- erizing" is sometimes applied. The real test is the amount of food actual ly absorbed and utilized. EXperi- ments recently carried on by Foster and Hawk show that the difference in food utilization in bolting and "Fletcherizing" is only 1.6 per cent.
 Such insignificant differences sure ly cannot be used in support of any enthusiastic claims for the alleged marvellous efficiency of the excessive mastication of food, even when judged

INQUIRIES CONCERNING IN
 QUERIES ABOUT. ARKANSAS

We print below clipping from the Four County Courier a publication recently started by Sam Samson and Sam Branch.
 "There are frequent press notices that John H. Page receives many let ters from people who want to come to Arkansas to get homes. What be- comes of these notices? Does Mr Page have a few real estate firms in his circle who help to keep Page in office for favors shown? There is no report of families that he has caused to locate in Arkansas. This may be due to his modesty CD A tree is known by the fruit it bears."
 These publishers evidently have not gone to the trouble to secure the names of those making inquiries about our state or they would have been printing them each week as they were mailed out by MT. Page. It is pos sible that they did not know that they were furnished for the press. Any way they should secure the list as it is made up and publish it in their pa- per. We publish the latest list of names received by MT. Page and re- quest that the publishers of the Four County Courier (Messrs. Samson and Branch) insert it in the next issue of their paper so that the population of their community may be increased:
