JUICES OF THE STOMACH.

The work of the stomach is twofold.
1t breaks up the food by Ih~oistening 1t
as it rolls it over and around. 1t Sc
cretes juice, which is one Of the agents
Of digestion.
Birds, having no teeth, must use their
stomachs to break up their food. In
consequence. the stomach of a bird,
| called it's gizzard, has a very thick,
heavy muscled wall and a lining lk
the Sin on the palm of a mans hand.
The human animal in theory breaks
up his food with his teeth and does not
swallow the mass until it has been
thoroughly ground up and mixed with
saliva. However, there still remains
for the stomach need for a fair mount
of churning and mixing. Therefore. the
human stomach has a fairly thick mus
cular coat, but one not to be compared
with the thickness of a gizzard. Why
men try to initiate the chickens by
boiling their food is inexplainable ex-
cept they think themselves built with
a gizzard and a crop.
Last year Prof. A. J. Carlson had a
chance to study a man who had q hole
in his stomach. We recall that the
foundation of all we know about the
stomach was lail by an army urgeon.
q fur trader, Alexis ST. Martini, at
Mackinac Island. One pay day Alexis
filled up with booze, got in a fight, was
shot in the stomach, and achieved fame.
Some of DR.. Carlson's conclusions are
as follows: The empty" stomach is
never empty. 1t contains from two tea
poonfuls to two ounces of gastric juice.
The amount is greatest before break
fast. Secretion of gastric juice goes on
all the time. The amount Secreted per
hour when the stomach is empty"
varies from 80 drops to two ounces.
| THlt,Jr3,- oL.,,+ GOOD ;,,oToocnc tl<.
secretion of juice. Seeing and smelling
food increases the amount Of juice. The
more palatable, pleasing and appealing
the food. the greater is the secretion OF
juice. Chewing Indifferent substances
without the taste or flavor of foods
does not increase the flow OF juice.
AS soon as chewing of food starts the
secretion of juice starts up. The more
palatable the food, the stronger it ap"
peals to the taste, the more rapid the
secretion of juice. h amount secreted
Is about SO drops a minute. AS soon
as chewi4.~ stops, the rate of flow OF
the juice slows up. Therefore, the long
err the act of chewing is kept up, the
more ga-tric juice will be secreted. An
average person secretes about three
pints of gastric juice during "a hours.
The amount secreted during the heavy
meal (dinner) is about a pint and a
half.
These observations and similar OBJ
servations by the great Russian, Paw
law, and others. tell us a few things
which we already knew, but were not
able to prove. They prove that a good
appetite is an aid to Digestion; that
savory palatabie food Is more easily d.
gested thar food which does not ap-
peal; that prolonged, thorough chew
ing helps ito digest the food.
Perhaps also 1t explains why a cup
of water before breakfast feels right
and possibly aids digestion. Perhaps
also it explains why, when after a full
meal one feels that his digestion is slow
he gets relief from chewing highly fla
Vored gum.

SAVING FATIGUE.

Every employer Of a long established
business carries on his pay roll a num-
Der of wornout employees. Some he is
able to give tasks which are profitable
to him. Many he carries from senti-
ment. Many are in between these ex-
tremes. Some are used in training
younger men. Some hold positions for
Which the main requisite is RESPONSE
bility and de%pendability and which do
not require much work.
Ii the members of this group be ex-
amined closely it will be found that
they stoop, their finger joints are large,
their joints creall, their wind is short,
and they are without endurance.
Taking sthe group as a whole, they
are far from earning what they receive.
"A right thinking employer keeps in his
employ the men who have Won them
selves out in his service, charging the
loss to the same account in which wear
in equipment is carried.
That some of these men are worn
out is no fault of the employer. In
stead Of sleeping at night they have
caroused, they have drunk and smoked
and suffered infection with venereal
disease They have not lived the laws
OF personal hygiene nor lived in hy-
gienic homes. Some of it is the fault
Of the employer.
Let us assume that the cost of worm
out men is carried by industry and a
large part of it by the individual fac
tories and stores. If overtired m
ployes in the course Of time become
expensive for employers Their employ
ers are interested in anything which
decreases fatigue.
Employers are studying the methods
of work of their employees with a view
to eliminating the waste and thus saw
Ing fatigue. In Providence, r. l., they
have a museum of fatigue. In this
museum there are chairs, tables.
benches, for preventing fatigue. There
are motion pictures showing working
men wasting energy in doing certain
Jobs and other pictures showing how
the same work car be done without
fatigue. The use of motion pictures
Of men at work shows that much of
the reason for being overtired at night,
being "stove up" stiff in the joints,
prematurely, is the result Of useless
n unnecessary motions Of the body
in doing work..
The pictures show that much OF the
fault lies with the management from
floor boss through shop foreman to
manager and owner, in that the doing
OF the work and the arrangements for
1t are badly planned. Incidentally. it
IS found that h elimination Of wasted
motion increases the amount accom-
plished in a day and at the same time
fatigue is lessened.

tory changed a certain table in such q
way that men who hitherto had only

If Balm was drunk he did not show

Captain Bowen Colthrus who
ordered the shooting of hundreds
OF prisoners during the recent up
rising in Ireland and who was
charged with frst-degree murder
was recently acquitted or what
virtually amounts to acquital, be-
ing declared mentally unstable"
by a high English court. 1t was
OF course impossible to exonerate
him completely, but as he was
only taking the secret orders of
his superior officers it was equal
ly impossible to convict him and
sentence him to death. He was
sentenced "to be confined during
the kings pleaure" and of course
it is doubtful if His Majesty will
rive much pleasure from the fact
that one of his paid and trusted
hirelings is languisl1ing in an Eng
lish prison and so he will forth
with be pardoned. This Thaw-like
defense would seem to belong to
our American courts but evident
ly the English are learning to use
our up-to-date methods of acquit-
ing criminals. This is merely one
instance of English misrule in Ire
land, many, many more have come
to light recently, for instance, the
shooting i'll cold blood OF the

England will have to refrain in

the terrible atrocities committed
by her enemies for she already
stands convicted before the world
OF tar more dastardly crimes than
those acquisitions against her op-
ponents. 1t will be fruitless in
the future for the paid press OF
Ireland to give out reports of Ire
lands loyalty, for Ireland is not
loyal to the British Crown, has not
been, and could not possibly be in
light of recent events.

the amount required for the building
of a mission chapel. This little priest
will need at least $1,000, for there

retains no temporal sovereignty; it
can not command the war to stop;
yet its appeal has gone forth for the
love of Christ's sake in behalf of the
sufferers and the prisoners. The

can make it heard even amid the
storm of war. The Protestant churches
can not. The voice of the Roman

voice is as the murmurs of running

THE PASCHAL PREcEPT.

Sunday, June 18th, marks the
termination of the time for the full
fllment of the precept of the
Church prescribing the reception
of Holy Communion at least once
a year. In this country COMPARE
lively longer period is granted for
complying with the Fourth Com
mandment of the Church. From
the first Sunday of Lent until
Trinity, the faithful are periodi-
cally reminded that they must go
to Holy Communion at least once
during that time; and it is graft
flying to know that there are very
few who do not heed this admoni-
ton.
Neglect to make ones Easter
duty is almost the last word in
spiritual neglect for a Catholic. 1t
implies not only a refusal of obed-
fence to the Church, but an almost
objectionable indifference to an
injunction of our Lord. In the
sixth chapter of St. Johns gospel
the necessity of receiving Holy
Communion is emphasized as
strongly as any truth to be found
in the pages of Scripture. Eternal
salvation is made to depend upon
worthy reception of the Holy
Eucharist. The Catholic then, who
is willing to imperil his happiness
for eternity by his carelessness in
remaining for years away from
the altar rail is hardly deserving
of the name of being a member of
the Church. Accommodation
with its subsequent forfeiture of
the rights to Christian burial are
the penalties that may be incurred
by the non-fulfllment of the Pas
chal Precept. Their severity is an
indication of the Importance at
tached to the commandment.
They mean nothing more nor less
than this, that he who does NOT re-
ceive Holy Communion during
the Easter time is by that very
omission unworthy to be asso-
ciated, either living or dead, with
the faithful of the Church of
Christ.
