Many people think of the stomach as the place where food is digested, but in reality it is the mouth where digestion begins. When food has been kept long enough in the mouth to be thoroughly mixed with the saliva, an important part of the digestion pro- cess has already occurred. When the food is Well chewed it gets mixed with the mouth juices, and this is one rea- son why complete mastication of the food is necessary. Every part of the digestive tract has its own role to fill in the rocess of digestion. If the mouth oes not do its part by mixing the food with saliva, the stomach is overburdened in doing extra_ work. " What then does the mouth actually do in the digestive process. It con- ‘vcrts starch into sugar through the action .of the saliva. This is one of the first steps, and if the mouth does not do this work the stomach has to ‘do it. That the stomach is able and does take on the functions of the teeth and mouth does not alter the fact that this Work of prc-digestion should be accomplished by chewing. For sooner or later the stomach work- ing overtime will cease to do its work properly and when it gives out the owner finds himself a victim of some a mild but thorough laxative which re‘ gulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus drive out constipa- tion and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make teething easy.

Thorough masti- cation is necessary for other reasons. The longer the food is retained in the mouth and the longer it is chewed, the more cha‘hce the taste nerves have to come in contact with it; and when the palate is satisfied the appetite is appeased and the desire for food goes. In this way one does not need to eat so much food to remove the sense of hunger. The same mouthful of food retained in the mouth for sixty sec- onds will go nearly as far toward satisfying the taste nerves as two mouthfuls retained in the mouth thirty seconds each. It can thus be seen that thorough mastication of food is a preventive of overeating, and it may be said that overeating is one of the dietary sins of the age. The savory taste of food in addition to the motion of the jaws and cheeks facilitates the flow of saliva. It is necessary that the mouth juices‘be incorporated with the food while still in the mouth. Chewing of gum or other substances between meals cre- ates an undue flow of saliva at a time when the salivary glands should be at test. The result is a shortage of that necessary fluid when the next meal time arrives. Old Professor “Emmy” was one of the most absent-minded men who ever lived. One day he went to New York to an important meeting. The train was late, and when he came out of the old Grand Union station he popped in- to a cab and called to the cabby, “Drive fast!” 01? they went at a gallop, with the cab swaying from side to side and the professor bouncing about and occa- sionally striking his head on the top. Finally, after a particularly vicious bump he glanced at his watch, looked perplexedly into the unfamiliar street and then, sticking his head out of the window, cried, “Hey, where are you going?" “I don’t know." the cabby yelled back, "but I sure am drivin’ fast!‘ Statistics from Ottawa show that in 1923 553,977 pounds more Green Tea were brought into Canada than in 1921, and 906,728 pounds more than in 1922.

The work of the woman in the home makes greater demands on her vitali- ty than men realize, and there is al- ways something more. to do. No won- der women's backs ache, and their nerves are worn out. No wonder why they get depressed and irritable, suf‘ fer from headaches, and always feel out of sorts. But of course all women are not like that. What is the differ- ence? A woman with plenty of healthy red blood in her veins finds work in the home easy; her vitality is at par. This points the way to health in women who feel run down and depressed. Make new rich blood. You can do it with Dr. W'illiams' Pink Pills. These pills have the marvellous property of building up the blood and toning up the nerves. That is proved by the case of Mrs H. Eppinger, Scott Street, Vancouver, B.C., who sayszâ€""Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills brought back my health and strength and restored my nerves to normal condition after other medicines had failed. It was af- ter the birth of my second child that I became so anaemic and nervous that I thought I would lose my mind as well as my strength. i tried several medicines. but got no relief until I was advised to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. After using a few boxes of these I could see a change. I felt stronger; my appetite was better, I slept better, and my nerves were ‘stronger. I continued the use of the pills for some time, and again found myself a well woman, and I can sin- cerely say that my health has since been the best. I can cheerfully re- commend the pills to all weak, run down women.” You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50.cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont.

You have seen a little pebble in the water lightly thrown, And it vanished, oh, how quickly it was out of sight and gone; But the ripples from it widened, stretching outward more and more, Never ceasing in their motion till they reached the other shore. 'Tls a solemn thought, oh, weigh it; none can live to self alone; Lives of others are made brighter or made darker by our own. E'en the thought we fully cherish, hidden deep within our hearts, By a power unseen some good or evil doth impart.
