EATING AND CHEWING.
Importance Of Long and Thorough Mas.
tication Of Food.

Importance of Long and Thorough Mas
tication Of Food.
"The idea prevails in most minds"
says a prominent physician, that the
purpose Of chewing food thoroughly is
to break it up into small particles, with
the main idea in mind that small par
ticles are easily digestible, while large
particles are impossible or difficult to
digest. That idea is incorrect.
1T has been shown in the laboratory
that a cube of meat which measures
an inch will digest almost as quickly
as one which measures one-fourth OF
an inch. A dog will swallow piece of
meat three inches or four inches long,
and almost as thick, without chewing
it at all. Yet dog seldom has indi-
gestion, except when some food fad
dist or fanatic tries to make the brute
less brutal by turning a naturally car
nivorous canine into a vegetarian ami
NAL.
''The point is that thorough mastica-
ton makes digestion more easy not
because the food is broken up into finer
particles, but because food held in the
mouth a great length of time and more
carefully masticated has usually mixed
with it greater amount of saliva and
it's ptyalin ferment for the digestion of
starchy elements. TO hold food in the
mouth until it is thoroughly masticated
requires certain amount of attention,
which, by the way, is the all important
thing in the digestion of foods. This
attention people do not always give.
Saliva does not flow we'll when your
mind is not on your eating.''- Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune.

countries on the Continent on Tuesday
was sharply condensed, whole sections
having been eliminated, particularly
from the latter part of the message
