Meats and Digestion

Meat is composed of muscle, con-
nective tissue, and fat. The muscle
fibers are composed Of thin walls
which contain the building material
for the body; water, mineral salts and
extractives. These fibers are held to-
gether by little tissues and between
these little muscle f1bers are bound to-
gether, and the more fat the meat con-
tains the more indigestible the meat.
Hence, pork is more indigestible than
beef. The digestive juices have a
harder time to penetrate the closely
bound pork fibers.

When President Coolidge few days
ago borrowed a nickel from one of
the White House attaches to buy a
weekly magazine the knowing ones
nodded their heads and said this was
1ust, another evidence of real New
England thrift; not the borrowing It,
self, but the fact that the President
didn't have a nickel In his pocket.
AS a matter of fact, no President
ever carries pocket money. He has
no use for it,. There is no way he
can spend it. A President rarely
goes shopping. When he does the
things are charged and paid Tor later
by a secretary. Mr.. Coolidge loves to
20 window shopping. Hardly day
passes that he doesn't stroll through
the principal business streets OF
Washington, stopping occasionally to
gaze at some articles which chance to
catch his eyes, but never entering the
stores.
The President. according to fem
mime gossip from the White House,
window shops for Mrs. Coolidge. He
makes mental note Of gowns or coats
or shoes or stockings and gives the
benefit of his observations to the first
lady of the land. OF course 1t Is a
woman's prerogative and privilege to
disregard the advice and consent" OF
