THE FURNACES
| IN THE BODY |
BY Brice Belden M. D.

HERE are many useful COM
parsons that may be made
in explaining the functions
of the human body. Thus we
compare the body to a furnace.
the fuel being the food eaten.
Actually. there are millions Of
furnaces inv the body. represented
by the cells of the tissues. First
the food is digested. then 1t
reaches these furnaces; there It
Joins the oxygen breathed in by
the lungs, and what we call oXi-
dation begins, which Is really a
process OF slow burning accom-
panied by the production Of heat.
So It can be readily seen that
the comparison of the body's ac-
tivities to that Of a furnace is a
rational one.
Then there is the building up OF
an energy reserve through exer-
else. That may be properly COM
pared to the generation OF current
by a dynamo.
To carry this metaphorical way
OF throwing nRht upon the SUD-
ject still further. let US consider
the matter OF indigestion. In order
to do this clearly, we must first
say a word about digestion. The
fats and proteins and carbohy'
drates which we eat undergo
great changes before they can be
absorbed and taken up by the
blood. BY digestion 10 meant the
process OF conversion by which
these three classes of food sub
stances are adapted for absorp-
ton. Now comes our useful
metaphor.
When you suffer from indiges-
ton the workers" employed in
the digestive organs, known tech
nically as enzymes. or ferments,
are either sick or tired. They
cannot be held responsible for
the preparation Of food so that
Il shall be capable Of assimilation
by the blood II they are exhausted
by twelve-hour shifts, which
means excessive eating, or II they
have struck because of low wages,
which means undertaking.

Even the originator Of the

lighted beyond all expectation at
the stirring interest taken In his

every city and larger community
had its local contest. Topeka, for
example, sent q team Of eighty

The mention of one or two
striking features Of the affair will
give evidence Of it's significance for
education and morals. First, the
musical selections. in order to be
acceptable for even the local con-
tests, were required to be Of
high quality and free from the
suggestion OF jazz. Second. the
selections were all required TO be-
memorized. not a note in sight OF

on the magnetic needle are unre-

varies in different places and at
different times, and can only serve
as a general indication Of the direc-

Asparagus Best
CropSays WMet
(By N. L. Willet.)

There is no doubt that in Augusta
territory we make more money off
of asparagus than in any other one
crop with same acreage. was
talking with a Carolina man this
week who with his asparagus, spreads
and roots, will make, 1 am sure, net
ten thousand dollars this year and he
has been making money steadily on
asparagus for fifteen years and now
has given up everything else for this
crop. One of his neighbors, on the
contrary is blowing up right now his
asparagus roots and will quit the
game. 1t is simply a difference in
men. Asparagus is not just any man s
job. 1t takes a super-man to grow
asparagus. 1t is no crop for COM
mercial purposes for Tom, Dick and
Harry who lives here and there in
isolated places and whose experience

who have no experience nor technical
skill nor passion for the trucking
business; but for the right men in the
right spot there is no crop at pres
ent available so profitable as is as
paragus and there is no one crop
that, seemingly, is so far away
from over-production.
What New York Says.
California is our competitor. Cali
fornia has twenty-eight thousand
acres in asparagus, ships eight thous-
and and cans twenty thousand acres.
Her grass is large but it is without
taste. The New York commission
men tell us here that our green grass
could run California out Of the mar
ket and that if we were to go into
asparagus canning that we could also
run her twenty thousand acres of
canned goods out of the market. Will

liston, South Carolina, put up car
load of canned asparagus last. year
and sold them easily, even though She
used her small inferior size-beeause
the larger size brought more in the
green state. I have eaten this Will
| liston canned asparagus and it is in
every possible way the equal Of the
green stuff right out of the ground.
1t is totally different in quality from
the California goods and if we only
had enough of it to send the large
size the north would go wild over it
las a canned matter. I understand
that Williston is going to put up a
larger canning outfit this season.
There is no over production what
ever in sight in good asparagus,
either as green grass or as canned
matter. The wonder is as to whether
it is possible for us, even in years to
come, to over-produce There is no
crop that is canned more easily
and with less expense and there is
practically no disease incident to this
plant.
The Grades.
Graded asparagus brought a fine
price this year and then demand
was more than the supply con-
tinuously. In the old days we sent
out asparagus ungraded The big
was on the outside and the little was
on the inside and the customer got
mad. The last seasons prices were
about as follows, first grade, Col
ossal, $500 per crate Of one dozen
punches; No. 2, Fancy, s4.00; No. 3,
$3.50 for choice.
The soil for asparagus is a rich
warm sandy loan. Never plant it in
clay. Never plant it on bottoms.
Never plant more than three acres
to the plow. The amount guano US
ed varies with the growers. One
grower tells me that he uses S-4-4
one ton plus twenty-five loads of
compost per acre; another uses one
and one-half tons of S-4-4, and an
other uses two tons. AS this guano
costs at the minimum thirty dollars
