Even the children receive moistened foodstuffs that call for little |
chewing.
What is the purpose of chewing?
Chew food to grind it into small particles that are more easily
attacked by the digestive fluids and ferments.
Chew starchy foods to- mix them thoroughly with the saliva, which
begins to change the insoluble starch into the absorbable sugar:

Thorough mastication tends to prevent overeating.
If you take the time to grind your food you are more likely to escape
indigestion.
Starchy foods demand careful attention to the small detail of chew-
ing them rn i that they may receive the advantage of salivary
action. :
Spinach, salads and green bulky foods must be finely divided in order

to yield their small measure of nourishment.

Pre-Easter Parade of New Blouses.

White, blue, flesh, maize, bisque, tea
and rose—these are some of the colors
fn new georgette crepe waists that ap-
pear in the gay troop of spring styles,
passing in review before Easter. Along
with them are dainty organdie blouses
in white or light colors or combina-
tions of white and a color, and dark
colored blouses of crepe or silk that

lend dignity to the company. There
are few innovations in style. Sleeves
continue to be long and necks open
in a “V"” at the front with much grace-
ful management of collars.
But the high-necked blouse is to be
reported as represented in all the
showings of new models, along with
many that are not high. It is to have

It was heatless Monday, A little
girl entered a drug store and ap-

possible to buy some rock candy. He
told her they were not supposed to sell
candy. but she assured him that she
didn’t want it for candy. So he asked
and the pro-

mother probably wanted it to
make cough syrup of, and that it was
therefore a proper purchase.
So the clerk wrapped up the rock

And then the clerk said: “Is your

“Oh, no. But you see we're out of

mamma wants the rock candy to sweet-
