1T is not sufficient that the cir

esophagus, which carries it to the stomach.
 The first really important di- gestion begins when the food and the water get into the stomach. Here the food is mixed with the juice which the glands of the stomach Secrete. This is thin, colorless, or slightly yellow liquid with strong acid reaction. It is hydrochloric acid.
 The gastric juice also contains two, or possibly three, ferments, which aid in digestion of proteins. Chief of these are pepsin and rem min. There is possibly another called lipase, which helps to digest fats.
 One of the most widely promoted food fads of recent years is based on the idea that starches are di- gested only in the moutch and pro teins only in the stomach and that, therefore, one should never mix protenis and starches in the diet.
 The whole idea is ridiculous. The starcheS are mixed with the saliva and, while their digestion begins in the mouth, it is continued in the stomach. The mass of food then passes into the intentine. which is alkaline in reaction, where digestion of starches con- tinueS.
 As I have pointed out previously, the mere sight of food will cause the stomach to begin secreting its digestive juice. It gets the stomach ready for digestion.
 Certain foods seem to have the special virtue of causing the pour ing out of gastric juice. Such are meat extracts, meat juices, and soups, while the taking of milk and water causes lessened Secre- tion.
 Of the ferments which the stom- ach secretes, pensin is most im- portant. Pepsin acts only in the presence of acid and the stomach supplies that acid. When the amount of acid secreted is insult ficient, the pepsin cannot work and the result is indigestion.
 The rennin which the stomecn secretes will coagulate milk snd is sometimes used in commerce for that purpose.

Household Shopper
By CORA BRISTOL

The Fashion World has its stroll ing reporter, who tells of smart new things seen on the Avenue. Why not similar shopper for the kitch- en? There are as many intriguing new do-dads in that department as in any costume shop.
 For example ... Have you made the acquaintance of the imported papier mache dish tubs, invented for the woman who owns precious glass and china? They prevent the noisy clinking you hear when knives and forks and dishes strike metal pans Being somewhat resilient, they also prevent breakage. And you should see how decorative they are! Some come in peacock blue with gold banding! others in white with smart gold bands, and there is a yellow and gold pattern.
 And Coffee Mills are coming back! The new ones are mode of pretty colored pottery, attached to a small white painted slab of wood which in turn is screwed to the woodwork. The grinder parts are of white enameled metal alto- gether a different picture from the old-time article?
 Very creditable reproductions of the famous Stegeli glass are on the market today, available in many odd pieces, including square and oval shaped vases, decanters, gob- lets, compots and cocktail glasses. Some are developed in the plain bubble glass in aquamarine or april co ttones; others show the old-time knobby surface, or the plain glass with frosted Scenes.

 Dissolve one-half ounce aluminium chloride in three ounces distilled water or rain or snow water. By means of sponge or pledget of cotton on holder or ap- plicator (keep the lotion off your fingers) mop the armpits and al- low the liquid to dry before you dress.

 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service staff Writer


 You're probably pretty tired of hearing people tell you to do your Christmas shopping early, but, from standpoint of beauty, it's a good idea just the same.
 If you leave everything until the eleventh hour, spending the last few days before December 25th dashing madly through shops and the nights wrapping packages and re-compiling lists, you're sure to look tired and worn between Christmas and New Years when you want to look your best.
 One who wants to look attractive ought to see that all shopping IS done, each package wrapped and every card addressed at least a week before Christmas. Then, in spite of making arrangements for the tree, hanging holly, planning parties and trying to discover on just which trains the relatives in- tend to arrive, you will be able to get a normal amount of sleep and bit of daily exercise.
 Bowls of candy and nuts that you can't resist, family dinners and buffet suppers late at night are going to make you gain a few pounds, so why not try to lose 8 little weight between now and Christmas? This way, you'll come out even and won't have to diet and exercise most of the time during January.
 In addition to getting adequate rest, which in itself clarifies the skin and makes eyes sparkle, see that your digestive organs are functioning perfectly. Improper elimination of waste products spells any complexion.
 Use your creams, lotions and masks faithfully. In other words, try to store up enough health and beauty right now to see you through a week or two of irregu- lar hours, an unusual amount of excitement and practically no ex- erciSe.

would. So the two of them had conference.
 Could you" asked the doctor, cooperate with me in little ex- pertinent? You may let the prin- cipal in on it. Was Mary Smith very close to the top last month";"
 "Yes, I had hard time decid- ing which of three girls would get first seat. There wasn't tenth of one per cent difference in their averages. Julie was first and Martha second; Mary third. Last month Mary was first"
 Then could you, by bit of chicanery, make Mary first this week when grades are in? I want to figure just how many of these physical lapses are due to worry. In this case I must say that I feel it is jealousy. Do Mary and Julie get along?"
 "No. There has been rivalry ever since they started to school"
 "Ill explain to Julie's mother and Martha's, too," said the doc tor. '"They are both splendid people. They will understand"
 Mary was second and Julie first. But the conspirators allowed Mary first place. Instantly Mary began to eat, to sing and of course to gain. Then the doctor sent for her mother. T have discovered what ails your daughter" he said. "You can do much by giving her course in sportsmanship. Plain jealousy undermines more health than bad Stomachs."
 A week later 1t was explained that mistake had been made by small margin. Julie smiled and said she didn't mind. She would keep second seat. But Mary again refused to eat. Possibly all her life she will be taking pills - for jealousy.

The Truth About Diet HOW YOU DIGEST YOUR FOOD

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Editor, Journal of the American
 Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 Our country is oversupplied with food faddists. Some believe that the eating of whole wheat bread in large amounts is of greatest i'm portance to health; others insist that vast quantities of fruits must be eaten; some oppose acids and some oppose alkalis; some oppose the mixing of acids and alkalis, and others oppose the mixing of proteins and starches.
 If people realized that the human body is constructed to utilize vari- ous foods without much trouble, and that it gets along best on 8 varied diet, food faddists would not be so common.
 Digestion begins first in the mouth. Food is chewed by the teeth, then 1t mixed with saliva from the glands on each side of the jaw.
 The saliva makes the food easy to swallow. It also contains fer- ment called ptyalin, which is use- full in digesting starches.
 The more completely the food is chewed, the easier it is to swallow, and the more easily digested.
 Next the food goes into the

NOW THAT THANIkSGIvING's
 PAST IT'S PORK TIME
By Mrs. Mary E. Dague
MIA Gervice 9fafF Writer

NEA Service Stan Writer <
 Thanksgiving weather, father says --and that means pork oftener than turkey in our home.
 Since pork rOaStS are quite SiTn- pie in structure they are easy to. the host of little experience to carves A point in their favor for parties. The crown roast of pork which is the most festive in appearance is one of the easiest of all to carve. The butcher in preparing it must cut the ribs apart at the backbones In carving the roast, insert the carv- ing fork at the left and to the back of the roast. The knife is then ina serted between two ribs, to the right and the ribs are cut apart. Continue this around the crown until all have been served. One rib served with some of the filling of the crown makes a portion.
 In ordering a 1oin roast, be sure to ask the butcher to cut the back bone apart at each rib. Place the roasted loin on the serving platter with the Drowned deshy side up and the ribs toward the carver. The car- yer inserts the fork well to the left side of the loin. The knife is insert= ed at the top of the crust between the ribs and Q straight downward cut to the backbone is made. Al slight twist of the knife separates the ribs for serving.
 A boiled or baked ham = Snok- ed = is a handsome dish for fes- tive occasions. Place the baked ham on the platter with the small end to the right of the carver and. the Drowned fat-covered side up. The carver puts in the fork toward the thick end of the joint. The knife is inserted at the top in the knuckle end and straight clean cut down to the bone is made. Continue in this way, making thin even slices until all are helped. Two thin slices usually are given as portion. A fresh, llnboned ham is carved in the same way, always cutting at right angles to the bone. A boned and stuffed fresh ham is easy to manage since there is no bone to cut around. The procedure is the same as for the baked smoked ham. Neat thin slices are cut straight through the meat and stuff ing.
 Spareribs are carved by cutting between the ribs and serving as many as wanted for each person. Spareribs and Sauerkraut
 Four cups sauerkraut, 2 table spoons cracker crumbs, 2 pounds spareribs, 1 cups hot mashed po- tatoeS. Put sauerkraut in baking dish or roaster, scattering cracker crumbs through it, Put spareribs on top and add l cup water. Cover and bake in a moderate oven (375 de- grees F0 for two to three hours. Lift out spareribs and brown quickly in frying pan. Cover kraut with mashed potatoes and return to oven for ten minutes to make very hot and slightly brown the top. Serve kraut and potatoes from baking dish and spareribs from separate platter.

Teeth and Health

DO CLASPS INJURE TEETH9

DO CLASPS INJURE TEETH?
 Persons who have lost a few teeth and have found it necessary to have a small plate with clasps inserted often ask, Are these clasps harmful to the teeth?" The experi- ences of most dentists indicate that clasp properly made and kept clean by the patient does not harm the average teeth.
 If the patient is careless about keeping the clasp clean or fails to keep the tooth clean around which the clasp is placed, food accumu- lates and causes decay of the tooth. What actually happens is that germs of the mouth acting on the food which has accumulated on the tooth, forms an acid. This acid then eats into the tooth. It is not so much a case of the clasp wear- ing the tooth as it is the decomL posed food doing damage to the teeth. In many cases, unclean clasps are also the cause of foul breath.
 The following is an effective way of cleaning the plate clasps: Wrap absorbent cotton around the end of toothpick. Dip this in maist- ened pumice. Clean and polish the inside of the clasp as well as the surfaces of the teeth around which the clasps are placed. This clean ing should be done at least once day, preferably before going to bed. As an added precaution, the dentist should be visited frequently (every thre emonths) so that he can examine these teeth and determine whether or not they are being kept sufficiently clean.
 Healthy teeth will be the subject of Dr. Wisan's next article.
