Boiled carrots require slightly
longer, but raw lettuce leaves
the stomach very quickly, taking

Baked beans take almost as

Large amounts of either cane

Among the more important OF
these observations was the" denT-
onstration that emotion affects
digestion considerably. One man
who was uncertain of passing an
examination took two hours
longer to digest fried chicken
than he did after he had passed
it. A properly laid-out table
called forth a distinct secretion
of gastric juice in normal people,
which poorly served food failed
to do.
These are the basic facts upon
which to formulate an intelligent
diet. But the way not to do it
is to make yourself a dietetic
fadist by adopting a lopsided, i'll
balanced diet. and by thinking
all the time Of your diet and by
diGesting your food IN your head
before you give your stomach
chance. What YOU need is a

den on the stomach.
