About your
tiealth
Thing* You Should Know
ABSORPTION ft DIGESTION
The human body is nourished by
the two v processes, digestion* and
absorption; in the former, the food
is saturated with digestive fluids
in the stomach, and its particles
macerated and rendered fit for use
in tire tissues that require nour
ishment. The digestive process
completed, the substances are pass
ed on into the intestine, where ab
sorption deposits them in the
blood-vessels through suitable
chni_ :lr; absorption is automatic
and undiscriminative; if poisons
.reach the absorbents, they are tak
en up with quite as much avidity
as if they were harmless, and na*C
.is where mischief starts.
Host all of the fluid portion of
food is absorbed, whether it has
been digested or not. If not prop
erly prepared in the stomach, it is
unloaded into the circulation in a
form that cannot be taken up by
tissues requiring nutrition, and the
patient fails to understand how he
eats so much, yet feels bad all the
time, and loses weight. The prob
lem is with the digestive process
which goes, or should go on in the
stomach. ??~
wJicn the body is tired at the
end of the day, the digestive pro
cesses are slowed down as well. A
heavy meal is thrown into the
stomach, at an hour when its ef
ficiency is lowest Only a fraction
of the meal is digested?yet it is
all absorbed! Is it any wonder that
the patient awakens with "that
tired feeling" and experiences loss
of vitality with no desire for
breakfast, and with an un-fltness
that is no less than a warning of
danger. Breakfast should Iff a
good, substantial meal; noon-din
ner the same; and at evening, take
the minimum requirement This Is
the plan of the oldest and most
{rigorous people with whom I have
some in contact.

'? WE ARE VERT RICH
Professor Snyder of the Philc
rlelphia Observatory says the
earth was shot into space by oil J
sun, a sort of cosmic cannon.
All "rotating suns," says he,
thus shoot out planets and bull',1
up solar systems.
It seems frightfully gigantic t'.
us, but a hen laying ah egg woulij
seem just as impressive to a
microbe.
It seems reasonable thgt sunr,
Jiike hens, should lay eggs, thu
creating new organisms. Nature
works along the same paths in bit;
and little things.

John Hays Hammond says "th?
citizens are apathetic," indifferent
to public questions?and they are
; He wants a civic campaign t<
do away with public apathj*
That won't work.
If you want the public inter)
ested, you must make politics an>l
public questions INTERESTING.
The other day in an American
- munity above the average in
Iligence, many citizois went tq
polls to vote on a dog orifi
ce and returned without tak
; the trouble to vote, at the

Congress.
Ninety per cent of Americans,
unless you arouse them with re
ligious or racial antipathy, or with
the high price of coal, feel thai

' John D. Rockefeller, Jr., invests
In decent homes for working peel
pie at reasonable rente.
: Mr. Rockefeller's intention is to
avoid charity, demonstrating thaj

big JcaTe, with every comfort, in,
eluding playgrounds for children
and private parky attached to th<j
buildings, bathrooms, reside; :
doctor, etc., within m ruler* 1
prices, about $9 per room p ?
month. .
The thing will be done on
small scale at first, sufficient ' fo"
a few hundred families. Sucre :
might lead to the investment o'
hundreds of millions in such en
terprises and enable families oi
small means to live in comfort-]
able, healthful apartments at ;j
rent no greater than has bee-!
charged by landlords in the slums.
The plan won't please slum lane
lords. ,
Tlia President, in .a thoughtful
speech on the budget, says: "You*
Uncle Sam is rich, that's true. V-.
have actually $390,000,000 morjJ.
than we need for 1926. But that
ia no excuse for squandering. W'd
must be MORE economical, cuS
down expenses every year."'
Another cut of $830,193,888 re-'
duces the public debt to nineteen
billion six hundred and eighty
millions of dollars.
If necessary, Uncle Sam could
pay all that debt by using one*
third of the national income foiy
ONE year.
We are rich, but, as the Presi-^
dent says, that is no excuse fori
waste. <
A magnificent new electrio loco
motive, the world's largest ajufc
most powerful, weighs 283,350
pounds, is sixty-five feet leng,

One man can handle this loco-.
mo$ire that will pull an express
train with aaae at more than 100
miles an hour. <
Will it run between the Atlantis
and the Pacific cutting the tme
N unfortunately,
to two-days T
it will run in S- ..serland, where
government owns railroads and
seems to do well, in spite of our
theory that government ownership

Swiss are abler than we are, per
haps more honest, perhaps both.
Dr. Butler says, "The world out:
grew Communism 2,600 years ago.
and Socialism in the Sixteenth
century."
The world has never rcallp
TRIED Socialism or Communism,
and never will. When socialistic
and communistic ideas are tpie^
out wa give them other names, i
A great public paric, or magnlfil
ioent public school, paid for by
taxaaj$and free to rich and ?oorj
represents both communis ainj
socialism. But we call such social
ism "Intalligant government."
