 Readily Di6Stible

Chicago. Nov. ii Op - The fol- lowing item is dedicated by the University of Chicago physiology department to those digestion pes simists who frown at the mention of fried potatoes and become apo plectic at the word pie"
 Fried potatoes and pastry digest as rapidly as boiled food. the uni versity noted in making public re- suits Of experiments conducted by A. c, Ivy of the department of physiology and Bessie Boggess Of the home economics department.
 Using French fried. pan fried and boiled potatoes, the two workers tested each with pancreatic juice, finding that the starch in potatoes was most easily digested in the pan fried potatoes. and that the French fried responded more readily to di- gestion than the boiled potatoes.
 In second experiment, the ac- tual movement of the food through the stomach was recorded with luoroscopic X-ray. It showed no material difference in the gastric emptying time of boiled and fried potatoes. When the potatoes were stecped in an excess of fat, how ever, or were used with butter or rich gravy. gastric disturbance re- suited.
 Similar experiments revealed that pie, if well cooked, is readily di- Eestible."

BERLIN VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPT. MEETING Session Has Been Called for
 Next Monday Night
 PLANS TO BE DISCUSSED
Injured Man Has Broken Leg Ladies' Aid Society Has Plans For
 Fair - Tabs Plan Large Whist
 Party-Armistice Day Observed.

J
 The first regular meeting of the Berlin Volunteer Fire department will be held on Monday night at the American Legion hall. At Q meeting held some months back the depart ment was organized and officers and committees were formed. Russell s. Gold is the president. The American Legion is working in connection with the department.
 It Is hoped that the people of the town will respond to this call and attend the meeting Monday night. Plans will be discussed. New mem bers are needed and it Is the idea oe those interested to make the new department a permanent organiza- ton.
 This question of a fire depart ment is an important one for the people of Berlin to consider and facts and figures will be shown to those at the meeting to prove the need of this organization. At the present time the New Britain fire department Is called when fire brealn out in town and the chances of tho department arriving in time to stop the fire is always slim. New Britain is about four miles from the center of Berlin and any fire. no matter how small it Is in the be- yinning, can become a sizeable blaze before the ire apparatus can travel four mpes. The main objection to tho New Britain department, how ever, is the big expense of bringing 1t down here. The local taxpayers are forced to pay for every minute the visiting brigade spends in Berlin. Tho New Britain force did every thing possible at the Mooreland farm ire. yet the loss ran into five figures.
 It will be a great improvement to the civic life of Berlin if the volun- tcer department can be put over and made | permanent organization. The officers of the department wish 1t to be known that this appeal applies to every citizen of the town and hopes are entertained for big attendance.
