WHAT, NO SANDWICHES?

WHAT, NO SANDWICHES? Exponent of the wrong com bination" theory elates me by say ing 1 do write sense sometimes but casts me right down again by adding that more times write nonsense. About food combinations for example, beg the question by pointing out that wheat is a com bination of proteid and starch. But l fail to explain that the proteid content is small and wheat ordin- arily not considered a 'proteid food but starch food. And then how about beans?
 Well, how aboue 'em? What do you mean? If you have any beans that need spilling, send 'em to me. I'll spill 'em for you.
 Let's see what old Atwater and Bryant can tell us about wheat and beans. You folks all know At water and Bryant's "Chemical Composition of American Food Ma terials," of course. If you don't you'd better squander dime right away fof copy, and keep it in your home for reference whenever you wish to know abou the nutriS tive value and composition o1 the public welfare, only you must slip the government a dime for a copy, whereas if you were a hog the government would furnish the information for nothing. In this country we wish to encourage the health and well being of hogs all we can. So send your dime to Gov ernment Printing Office, Washing tonfi D. C., for Bulletin 28 (Re- vised), U. s. Dept, Agriculture, Chemical Composition of American Food Materials, by Atwater and Bryant. a
 toned, wheat co4tans 13 of IA per cent protein and 70 per cent carbo- hydrate (starch mainly). Beans, dried, contain II to 12 per cent protein and 50 to 65 per cent car bohydrate.
 Now as to the digestion of a sandHich-a combination of pro- teid snd starchy material. My critic solves this easily. He asserts that "starches are digested in the intes- tines. Proteids are digeSted in the stomach. The rule, as know it, is to avoid eating bread potatoes, rice, etc., with meat. The excep- ton to the rule is when one is in good health."
 From the twelfth edition, 1888, of Howell's Textbook of Physiol- ogy" quote, under the heading of Digestive Changes Undergone by the Food in the Stomach: ,.

 i food continues to exert its action on the starchy material in the fun dus for long time, so that in this way the. starch digestion in the stomach may De important" The pytalirl is a ferment in the sa- liya, which digests starch. Then, of course, the main part of the pro- teid material is digested, not in the stomach, but in the small intestine. A man can live without stomach, but not without the duodenum or portion of intestine :. immediately beyond the stomach, where pan- creatic digestion, the essential part of digestion, takes place.

Us soon as they can get it. There is no reason during this modern day and age why We should not have it. Why should we have to rely on the old system of carry ing first class mail by dog team when t takes nearly month to mako connections? Following is a communication prepared by both the Roust Atrways and the North ern Air Transport Inc, of Nome, stating they will not be able to handle the mail heneeforth under any such rate above a two-hundred
 and. fifty mile distance. We can appreciate their position. They have stated their case clearly and in a business-like manner. Why not have

Everyone is anxious for letters, and delivery of first class mail has been expedited as far as pos sible. as matter of courtesy. rather than on the score Of any proat to be made in carrying it.
 Now that the Postal Department has cut the rate allowed for car- rying the mall between Nome and Fairbanks to half the ordinary ex- press rates. carrying it over this route would entail serious loss on each trip. as in most instanc- es express or baggage has to be left out to allow fore the space or weight of the mail.
 Unless the Postal Department can be induced to reconsider, and restore the overland rate, which will require some active persuasion not only on the part of the Cham Der of Commerce, but on the part of ther citizens of Nome, and of northern communities also affect ed by this order, the service giv- en by the airplanes during the last two years will necessarily have to be continued, and mail will come as 1t formerly did, either by steam CT direct from Seattle, or via the Yukon river and St. Michael. Ev- eryone knows what this service will be and comment is needless.

Regarding the Transportation Of First Class Mall by Airplane

First class mail, as carried oy airplane, on Emergency route 7S1S2 was paid for by the Postal Depart ment, at the same average rate +at express matter, Tn some instanc- as this rate was greater for short distances and less for longer dis tances, but averaged about the 5ame as express.
 From the standpoint of car riers however, mail is not nearly so desirable for transportation as express or freight for several reas- ons. It's carriage is surrounded by restrictions and rules winch do not apply to ordinary exrpess matter, Fit is frequently the cause of costly delays, more especially in the smaller communities. and is not paid for when delivered, but when all the accomplished mail bills are in the hands of the Postal Auditor which is from sixty to ninety days after the service is completed.
 It's carriage is often at the ex- pense of other matter, which has been left out, so that the mail would go thru first. and this has re- quired explanations and apologies to consignees as to why packages have been delayed, and very few people are satisfied with an ex- planation when they are looking for package.
