leading citizens of the future.
Later in the day, at the regular
drill period, Colonel Pearson ar
ranged to have a military parade
in honor of Governor and Mrs.
Harvey. The Governor and his
wife took their places as guests OF

carried out. Governor Harvey
seemed very pleased with the
military showing Of the cadets.

DIGESTION

reason the stonlacn's responses to

Water is such a food and may be
taken a few minutes before or at the
beginning of a meal with positive
stimulating effects.
The most efficient gastric stimu-
lants are those substances which give
flavor to meats: hence the advantage
of meat early in the meal.
II is also well to begin meal with
soups containing extracts of meat, as
bouillon. consomme. and other kinds
with meat stock as foundation,
when the stomach responses are
feeble
In this fact we find the chief rea
son for beef broth for invalids. but
since beef broth itself has little il any
fuel value, it could be accompanied
with some real food which it will
help to digest.
The state of mind is another factor
affecting the flow of gastric juice. A
general nervous state is very quickly
reflected in the stomach.
Attention to the appearance of
food on the table and other tricks of
the trade" which tend to put the
prospective eater in a happy frame
of mind are worth while from this
point of view.
Excitement, worry, anger chill,
fatigue, in fact, any emotional strain,

Erwinna had longed to do some such
thing.
She was not envious, she only felt
that she had missed what was SO
easily Theresa Lacey's-the JOY OF
responding to a great need. OF
course. she had always tried to DO
what she could in little ways. but
they were such little ways, like the
mending of these rompers. Any one
could do these things, many did,
though perhaps they did not keep on
doing it day after day. Erwinna had
tried to fill her life with small duties.
kindnesses and charities and she had
succeeded until every moment was
occupied and planned for.
And yet she was not doing all she
wished to do, nothing that seemed to
count in her own eyes. Her heart
was so full of love, so Tarm with
sympathy. Instead of mending the
torn rompers, what she wanted to do
was to hand the harassed little
mother money with which to buy
new ones, and instead of sending
cupful of rice to old Mrs. Alden she
wished to say to her. "Order anything
you like from the grocery and have
the bill sent 10 me-" Such giving as
hers seemed so trivial, so inadequate.
But she could not do more than
she was doing. Indeed. she had
already done too much, for every oay
she had to pinch her. own ways OF
living a little closer. Theresa Lacey
had said to her once that she robbed
herself. and she had resented it. She
had not robbed herself. She had
perhaps trimmed her cloak away un-
til it barely afforded her comfort. but
what matter? She had only herself
to consider?
Now she had little more to give
than her time, but she gave that.
She often wished that she had been
trained to be of economic value. She
could cook, nurse, tend children,
comfort and sew, but there her use
