as any other man. and a lot more, and
the many things he does ON the stage
cause the spectators 20 marvel that a
human being is capable of such per
formances. Though he is about sevc.
feet tall, he can conhre himself TO the
space that would cramp the average
midget, and he can also, while in thil
crampcd position. make a complete
change of his costume lie is also an
expert on the rings and has a most phi
able body, which proves wonderful as
set in the act.

this can be accomplished only by ade.

Just how much thorough chewing

experiment.
Take a one-inch cube of hard, solid,
non.porous sugar candy and drop 1t
Into y pint of water. 1t will take at
least half an hour and perhaps much
longer to dissolve, because cube
of this size has only six square inches

If. however. similar cube OF candy

In digestion we have to deal not

the chemical conversion of insoluble

difficult process. For this reason o
one-inch cube of solid food would take
much more than 10000 times as long
to digest as the same quantity which
has been reduced to fine bits by the
action OF the teeth and the saliva

Science now believes that much
modern dyspepsia arises from our hav'
