 Magnuson said he would also bring up his bill now before Con- gress, which would prevent the De- partment of the Interior, headed by Secretary Ickes, from allocating ad- ditional rights to Alaska Indians. This. he said, would end the long controversy between whites and h. dianS.

The Doctor Says-
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
| ABOUT OUR FOOD
BY WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M. D.

RY WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M. D,
The teeth begin the preparation
of food for mouth digestion. BE.
cause of their shape and location,
they serve three functions, cutting,
chewing and grinding the food. At
the same time saliva, which con.
tains digestive engines, begins the
digestion of starch. Envelopes OF
cellulosc which surround the
starch granules cannot be digested
by saliva, therefore they must be
! broken up by cooking and chewing
first.
Saliva, a product OF the salivary
glands, moistens food and stinlu.
lates the sense of taste. For the
taste buds to appreciate what we
lare eating, the food must be in
solution. Eventually the food is
formed into a soft ball which is
the final act of preparation for
swallowing. 1t is pushed back in
the throat by the tongue and the
muscles of the upper portion of the
esophagus and then sent down into
the stomach.
The presence Of food in the
mouth stimulates the flow Of
stomach juice.
The flow of digestive juice is
largely dependent on food and the
emotions. The experiments of DR..
Walter B. Cannon demonstrated
that the slightest uneasiness, ris.
comfort, or anger stops movement
and secretion in the stomach and
bowels. Vomiting in upset indivi-
duals is caused by reverse muscu.
lar contractions Of the stomach
which forces the food toward the
throat instead of down the diges-
tive tract.
The stomach engines are pep
sin and rennin. Pepsin digests pro-
tein and rennin curdles milk. When
food reaches the lower part of the
stomach it has become a semi
liquid mass called ciayme. The
acid Of the stomach secretions is
mixed with it and this acid-food
combination passes through the
opening In the stomach to the duo
denum where it becomes alkaline.
Intense muscular activity and acid
concentration at the opening of the
stomach and in the first portion OF
the duodenum make this the favor
lite spot for ulcers to develop.
If everyone realized the impor
lance of emotions on the digestion
of food and the secretions of stom
ach acid, we would not 60 to the
table tired and distraught. Our con-
versation would be such that good
digestion is encouraged. Most OF
us hurry through our meals as rap.
idly as possible, boiling our food.
Water may be taken with meals
if it is not used to wash down the
food. A bowl of soup at the begin
ming of meal is a good start
toward rational eating. If the food
is eaten -lowly, and chewed we'll,
all the flavors are developed and
good digestion is helped.
