Resolyed, that touching upon what

Main streets in the City of Gainesville,
Georgia, it is the sense of .the Mayor
and Council that the same be repaired
and to this end the question be referred
to a practical architect or builder, not
a wild, visionary theorist, who shall at
once give the building a critical exami
nation and draft such plans and specific,
cations as in his judgment when car

Why do you take milk in your tea?
jjost persons would answer because
jjbey liked it that way, but the scien
tists have found a deeper reason, plac
ing the custom on purely scientific
grounds. These learned ones discourse
as follows: We use sugar in our tea to
prevent injury to the coatings of our
stomachs. Whenever tannic "add and
albumen meet; they fall desperately in
love with each other, get married with
out bans and live together ever after
ward as tannate of albumen, or leath
er. Now, there is tannic acid in tea and
a lot of albumen in the coating of the
stomach. The tannic acid weds as
much of this as is allowed by the laws
of chemistry and so far injures the
stomach. i •/
But milk also contains albumen.
When milk is added to tea, therefore,
the molecules of tannic acid select
their albumen partners from it, and as
a divorce is unknown to tannate of al
bumen the albumen of the stomach re
mains single, and so the lining of the
atomach is uninjured.
Now, you may imagine that when
yon mix a salad dressing you put vin
egar in it because it tastes better made ! them
that way, but you are wrong again.*
It is. for a chemical reason, which is as
follows:
Raw vegetables are easily enough di
gested by cows and horses, but with
difficulty by the human stomach.. be
cause they contain that hard, fibrous
substance cellulose. But acids dissblve
cellulose, and vinegar is an acid.- That
is why we take it with salad and cab
bage, and doubtless that is why it
tastes so well, for the palate is an ex
cellent judge of what is gboQ for the
stomach. Oil is added for the very
good reason that it protects the lining
of the stomach from the action of the
acid in the vinegar.
Why do we take butter on bread?
Partly because wheaten Hour does not
contain enough, fat and partly because
butter contains a trifling , quantity of
substances called “extractives,” which
in some unknown way stimulate the
appetite and aid digestion.
Why do we take pepper, mustard and
spices? Because they tickle the glands
of the stomach and make them work.
Consequently they produce an " abun
dant supply of digestive juices. They
also stir up the liver, and a stirring up
of this organ is an important thing for
people who live sedentary lives.
Why do we put salt on our meat?
Why, there are two principal salts in
our body, and their supply has to be
kept up. They are sodium salts and
potassium salts. There is sufficient of
the latter in the food we eat, but not of
' the former. We therefore have to add
the sodium salts in the form of'common
salt, which is sodium chloride. Anoth
er reason why we eat common salt is
that a certain amount of hydrochloric
acid is needed by the stomach for the
purposes of digestion and also to kill
off some of the microbes we swallow.
This acid is, manufactured in the stom
ach from hydrogen and the chlorine
of common salt.. We take more salt
with some meats than with others be
cause some naturally contain less salt
than others. So by our condiments we
seek to even up things.—New York
Press.
Men and Women In Sleeping: Cars.
“It would surprise you to know that
a heavy per cent of the persons who
travel on sleeping cars make no effort
to disrobe before they retire,” said
a conductor who runs between New
Orleans and Chicago. '‘They simply
roll in with boots, spurs and all. They
do not seem to know that a berth on a
sleeping car is just’the same as a bed
in a private home except in size. Some
of them will pull off their coats and
collars. Some of them will slip their
shoes from their feet. There are many,
of course, who are used to traveling
and who go in for a good night’s sleep.
“With women it is different. You
can never catch a woman so indifferent-

spect. She will pull her shoes off ev

Her View of It.
“With the aid of this little book,”
said the canvasser as he produced a
“Mother’s Guide” for the inspection of
his victim, “you will be able to bring
up your children properly.”
She took the book and fveigked it
thoughtfully in her hand. Then ste
caught it by the edge and, brought it
down on the palih of her tend as * l i£ to
see if it could be handled with ease and
