The first chapter in the booklet copy send ten cents and stamped 'sSo You Have Indigestion?" (for self addressed envelope) tells how essential is that part of digestion which occurs in the mouth while the food is being masticated and insalivated and continues for half an hour or more after the food is swallowed.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Time for Plates

Time for Plates
 Had all my upper teeth pulled about a mouth ago. The gums are a little tender yet. Would 1t be too soon to have plates made now?
 (M. S)
 Answer-No. Best results are ob- tained if the dentist takes the im- precision before extraction of the teeth, prepares the plates and in- serts the plates immediately after extraction, before the patient leaves the office.
 Conservation of Kidneys
 Six months ago it was necessary to remove one of my kidneys. What kind of food and drink may take without harm to the remaining kidney? I use no liquor or tobacco. How about lithia water? drink coffee mornings. (R. w. J)
 Answer-No particular food. Eat moderately, that is, avoid over- eating. No particular water, just ordinary tap water. No alcohol, of course. Cup or two of coffee daily is all right. One kidney carries on the function of two apparently without strain-that's why the body is equipped with pairs of some es- sential organs subject to loss by injury or disease-so that loss oi one will not put the machine on the scrap pile, as long as demands on the remaining organ are moder- ate.
