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.
