Mastication.
It is difficult .to exaggerate
141:a:•tanee of 'teaching children
eat slowly. Although it is
ntrictly •true to say that every ch
who 'eats rapidly -is in poor thea
it is- true that a child who is in
habit of cheating each mouth
thoroughly is rarely in poor heal
In children imperfect . masticat
is frequently the cause of re,stl
sleep and overwrought nery
Many a; child is blamed for bei
naughty when he is really sufferi
from indigestion brought. about
haste in eating.
The fault is not always with the
Child. Most children naturally eat
slowly. Any one who has ever fed a
bowl of bread and milk to a young
child knows that it takes a long
time to finish the meal. The ehild
'takes a spoonful, and then pounds
on the table, or laughs and plays.
Be is in no hurry for the next
mouthful. It is the nurse or mother
who' is in a hurry, and who 'hold's the
spoon before the child's mouth and
urges him to eat.
A.iittle later the child comes to
the table with ,the family. At many
bre akfast=tables the important
thing is to finish the meal, and get
father out of the house in time . to
catch his train or reach his work on
time. There is an atmosphere of
hurry and. confusion that is . con-
+tagious.
-The evening meal should be
peaceful and eheerfial occasion, bu
it ometimes happens'that•one o
the parents"takes the opportunit
to criticize a, child for some 'trifling
fault. When that is the case the
pleasure of the meal is quite lost,
the child hurries through his dinner
or supper, and leaves •the table as
soon as, possible. Unpleasant
thoughts,. grief, or anger, check di-
gestion. Make the child happy at
meal -time if you can. He will repay
you by a more elceerflil disposition,
a stronger body, and a better stand-
ing at school.
Do not' permit a child to. wash
down his food with swallows of wa-
ter, coffee, or even milk. Let him
drink all the water he wants before
he begins the meal and between
meals, but Jet it be used sparingly
during meals.
A child who eats - slowly will sel-
clo.nl- overeat:' Moreover, -eating
slowly ,enco'ifrages v'desire for aim=
gr,le. foods. In order to eat much of
a highly seasoned or very rich food;
you. must bola it. If you try to eat
a very rich pudding, and masticate
slowly and thoroughly, you will find
that it becomes distasteful before
you have eaten very much.
The exercise of chewing has a
good effect upon the bones and mus-
cles of the. face, and improves the
facial contour just as surely as ex-
ercising the arm improves that or-
gan. M•astication keeps the teeth
well nourished and well polished ;
and strong, healthy teeth, kept
clean by mastication ,and the pro-
per use of the tooth -brush, exert
an important influence on the
child's health. — Youth's Com-

Replacing tujureil toel'v'es.
The' latest achievement of sup.
gery is the restoration of paralyzed
muscles by repair :elect replacement
of injured nerves, Stmie time ago
modern surgery, triumphant 'after
many successes, essayed the• prob-
lem• and proved that if a cut nerve
were immediately reunited loss of
function did not take place.
It has now been demonstrated
that in eas'as where for any'1easou
union of the divided nerve is impos-
sible, a junction.may:be effected b'e-
tween its degenerated portion and
any other convenient nerve. This
"nerve grafting" is fonnd:'to give
ultimately results almost .as good as
those obtained by the older method
of nerve union.
The remarkable feature -of the
new operation is that it.proves con-
elusively that a brain cell may' be
taught to perform two separate
functions. Each nerve communi-
cates with a, particular net of brain
cells which control its activities.-
It was supposed that these cells
were of a highly specialized charac-
ter and could perform only the
function allotted to them by • na-
ture. The idea that they alight be
taught to control in addition an' en-
tirely opposite, even .a different.
series of actions, was regarded as expenditure on "defence." "This
absurd. 'increases the .expenditure," says

BABY'S OWN TABLETS
USED FOR YEARS
When a mother uses only one.
medicine as long as there are little
ones in the home it certainly bears
grand testimony to the value of that
particular . remedy. Thousands of
mothers use nothing else but Baby's
Own Tablets. Concerning them
this question.
The possible applications of the
discovery are very wide: For ex-
ample, the nerves of .a withered or
useless limb, the function of which
has been lost through some injury
to or disease of the brain—e.g., by
apoplexy—if connected to a. nerve
trunk leading to a healthy part of
that organ, might again receive and
convey stimuli. In that case the
degenerated and flabby muscles
would regain their power and the
deformity be cured.

"When I was wonting around the
farm last whiter I had an attack of in-
flammation," writes Mr. E. P. Dawkins,
of Port Richmond. I was weak for a
long time, but well enough to work
until spring. But 'something went
wrong with my bowels for I had to use
salts or physic all the time. My
stomach kept- sour, and always after
eating there was pain and fulness and
all the symptoms of intestinal indi-
gestion. Nothing helped me until I
used Dr. Hamilton's Pills. Instead of
hurting, like other pills, they acted
very mildly, and seemed to heal the
bowels. T did not require large doses
to get results with Dr. Hamilton's Pills,
and feel so glad that I have found a
mild yet certain remedy. To -day I am
well—no pain, no sour stomach, a
good appetite, able to digest anything.
