EMOTION AFFECTS
DIGESTION

Imagine that you have just eaten
a completely satisfying meal, and
are contentedly sitting before the
fire. Around you are friends. A
warm feeling of well-being pervades
you. Under this TelaVed exterior,
what is taking place in your inter
nal system, efficiently, but all undi-
rected by you?
Your entire organic mechanism is
concentrated upon digesting and as
similating the dinner. The saliVary
and gastric juices are flowing free
ly; the tone of the muscles of the
stomach is high and the movement
is strong and regular; the walls Of
the blood vessels are dilated to fa-
cilitate absorption of food materials
into the blood; peristalsis of the in
testines-the worm-like movement
that forces the food On-is smooth
and free; bile and the pancreatic
juices are pouring into the alimen-
tary canal; heart action is regulated
to just the right rate to carry the
food material to the cells of the
body. The organs, undistracted by
anything else, are free to attend to
the full functiOning of this nutritive
cycle.
Suppose now that something Oc-
ours to make you thoroughly angry.
What happens in this nutritiye
cycle? BiOlogically all the forces of
your body need to be set for fight
or fight. The call is for external
activity and the entire body ans
wers to the call. The muscular ac-
ton of the stomach and intestines is
checked. The flow of saliva and the
digestive fluids are cut off; the
blood vessels of the stomach are
CONSTRUCTED; the heart, speeding up
its action, rushes the blood supply
to the arms and legs in readiness
for the bodily struggle; the liver is
stimulated to release sugar to be
converted into energy; the adrenal
glands-small bodies near the kid
neys-pOur adrenalin into the blood
stream for reinforcement. Instantly
the whole body is put upon a fight
ing basis. This prepartiOn of the OK
ternal organs is accomplished at the
expense of the normal action OF the
digestive system. Disgust, fear,
grief, pain, and excessive boredom
bring about much the same results.
Apply to your every day life This
description of the effect Of the "un-
pleasant emotions" on the normal
action of the internal organs. Ii is
evident that the atmosphere before,
during, and after meals should be
pleasant. Children should not be
scolded at the table. If you must
quarrel, schedule it for mid-morn-
ing or mid-afternoOn. The growing
custom of making luncheon engage
ments for settling the burdensome
affairs of the business world should
be curtailed. If the thought of an
after dinner speech gives you stage
fright all through the meal, eat af-
terwards. Your parched mouth is in
dicative of the checking Of all the
digestive fluids.
The body and its food require
teamwork. If you, as coach of that
team, fail to achieve this co-opera-
tion, you waste good food and hurt
your body.

AUTHORITIES on child rais-
"A ing are unanimous in advis-
L A ing parents to let children
have pets, providing they are
taught to care for them properly.
Unselhshness and gentleness are
fostered in the child who has
learned to stop an absorbing game
to feed his pet rabbit or care for
a sick guinea pig. Yet too few
grown-ups know how to instruct
their children in the best care for
animals.
The condition of Fido's housing
quarters contributes vitality to his
health. Since animal houses must
withstand as much weathering as
human homes, they should be fin
ished with as many coats and with
as good a quality of paint. Unfn-
ished wood, whether it is old or
new, must be given a printing coat
and two or three additional coats.
Since it is imperative that the roofs
do not leak if interiors are to be
kept warm and dry, it is we'll to
single them or cover them with
some other substantial roofing
material. Shingles must be dipped
in paint or stain before they are
laid, and then given another coat

RUSTY ORANGES

|. Oranges or grapefruit which have
a rusty appearance have been attack
ed by rust mites, animals so small
that it has been estimated that half
a million of them could find room on
a grapefruit. These insects puncture
the outer cells of the rind and suck
the oil from it. Although the food
value of such fruit is not reduced
greatly, buyers general prefer bright
fruit, consequently the russets sell
at a discount of 25 to so cents box.

One hundred and two and one-half

record for this year, but that was the
average threshed few days ago on
the Henry Lowinske farm in Prairie

and Sleepy Eye.
Henry planted a SCENT ten acres
last spring; the threshing rig charg-
ed him for 1925 bushels of oats, so
the average was well over one humid
red bushels to the acre. That wasn't
the only good crop this year, either;
his succotash made 65 bushels to the
acre with thirty per cent of it wheat.
His corn, too, looks good and will be
a good average crop, despite the

Gangsters Again
Visit Near Waseca
Gang Threatens Life of St.
Mary Farmer Throughout
Day of Montgomery
Bank Robbery

Warming him that if he attempted
to leave his blowing before six o'clock
Monday evening they would shoot
him dead, four gangsters kept St.
Mary township farmer in hot water
by shooting around him as he plowed
in 20 acre stubble field, surrounded
on three sides by heavy woods.
Ferdinand Sommers, % years old,
had heard few shots in the woods
as he was blowing during the after
noon but thought nothing of it be-
cause hunters often frequented the
ground along the LIE Sueur River.
Making another round of blowing he
was startled to see the dust fly near
his pillow and to hear bullet whistle
as it glanced into the air. He look
ed up to see four men, each armed
with long barrelled revolver coming
toward him down the hill.
One of the gang, rough spoken
individual, demanded: "Give us all
you got" Sommers replied that he
didn't have cent but would gladly
give them the five horses and the
pillow. This produced a laugh from his
assailants and they started CONVEX
sation in which they warned Som
mers to keep at his blowing until six
o'clock. If he left before that time
they threatened to shoot him on the
spot. To demonstrate that they
meant business and could shoot, one
of the men threw five sticks into the
air, one at time, and his partner
shot them before they fell to the
ground.
Each round Sommers would stop
and converse with the men.
"Give US a match; you have fifteen
of them and jack knife in your
pocket" one of the men said to him
and reaching in his pocket Sommers
discovered that he did have just Is
matches. Then they wanted to tell
his fortune but he said he wasn't in
terested and they dropped it.
Much of the time the men were
engaged in counting out paper money
which they carried in two leather
money bags that were bullying full.
They offered Sommers $40 in gold
one time if he would agree never to
tell of seeing them but he feared
they might come back to the house
later to recover it so he refused to
keep still.
To impress him they told him how
easy it was to hold up a bank and
vaults were nothing to them. They
said it was difficult to make a get
away in the daytime, but at night |
they expected Buick car to stop for
them and then there would be moth
ing to it. They asked Sommers how !
far they were from Waseca and he
replied about nine miles. They also !
learned that the woods in which they |
were hiding was about half mile
from the Sommers home.
The men were all welI dressed and !
were between % and 80 years old.
Each had coal black hair, were of !
medium height, and dark skinned.

very small hands. There was no
