WHY MEN LOVE BASEBALL
And Why, Too, In Mora Than Ona
Way, It la a Vary Dangaroua Cama.
Baseball is the most dangerous
game known to history. When it
comes to mortality lists baseball
leaves football a kp behind in a six
furlong race on a mile track. Statis
ticians have figured it out that it is
430 times a a destructive to human
life ss a Mexican revolution, and al
most as deadly as Mexican chile.
Annually it kills off so many aunts,
uncles and grandparents that think
ing people wonder how the under
takers can mand the steady work.
For example, in the course of one
thrilling pennant race our office
boy lost seven grandmothers.
For all that, we love baseball.
Even in spite of the grand stand
humorists, we love it. It is our
national game. We feel that, since
this country was to give us base
ball, our revolutionary sires did not
bleed and die in vain.
Men have much reason to love
baseball. It gives them the chance
to admire t-kul, speed, strength,
nerve, courage and determination,
and to learn the latest slang and
most pepful repartee. It gives them
the chance t boldly abuse and in
sult other m n without fear of con
sequences and to exhibit their wit
before large crowds. It gives them
the chance to set up real heroes and
bow down to them. Statesmen are
corrupt, generals fight from their
tents, literarv lions are pale, weas
bodies. But I aseball heroes are real
heroes. An 1 it baseball also
gives men tl opportunity to be as
loud and sil.y and joyously unre
pressed as tl ty want to be without
being laughed at.
Young wo uen like baseball, too,
and some of them understand it re
markably well. Some of them are
said to know the difference between
the pitcher and the umpire. There
is s legend that once there was a
young woman who could watch a
whole game without asking, "Whst
are they doin now V and tell which
Hide won at t ie end. But that is be
lieved to hive been written by
Grimm.
It is not idwaTS wise to take a
young woman to the ball game, no
matter how -she dotes on it Miej
may not noti -e the difference when
they stop bat ting up flies and begin
the game. SI a tnsv think the pitch
er and catcher ars plaving against
each other and complain because
one of them, does not quit and give
that eute fellow with such a jaunty
air a turn. She may mistake the
catcher's breast protector for a por
ous plaster. But she will notice, with
an ever growing admiration, me
grace, eurene and swiftness of the
well conditioned men on the field.
After which she is likelr to size you
up and devido vou won't do.
A lot of tine poiuts about health,
gained from baseball if most of us
weren't so good at muffing them.

CHEW YOUR FOOD WElL
Thia Will Aid Digaation and Halp to
Banish Dyapapsia.
"Chew your food well," is a mot
to winch should be w ritten large on
the walls of dining rooms, restau
rants and every other place where
human beings eat. the reason is
that in order to digest food in the
shortest possible time and with the
least possible effort it must first be
dissolved, and thia can be accom
plished only by adequate chewing.
Just how much thorough chewing
lessens the strain on the digestive
apparatus can be seen by a very
simple experiment.
Take s one inch cube of hard,
solid, nonporous sugar candy and
drop it into a pint of water. It will
take at least half an hour and per
haps much longer to dissolve be
cause a cube of this size has only
six square inches of surface exposed
to the solvent action of the water.
If, however, a similar cube of
candy is broken into 100 smaller
pieces before being placed in the
water it will dissolve 10,000 times
ss quickly because there is now
10,000 times as much surface area
exposed.
In digestion we have to deal not
merely with simple solution, but
with the chemical conversion ol in
soluble into soluble substances a
much more difficult process. For
this reason a one inch cube of solid
food would take much more than
10,000 times as long to digest ss
the same quantity which had first
been reduced to fine bits by the ac
tion of the teeth and the saliva
glands.
Science now believes that much
modern dyspepsia arises from our
having lost the habit of living on
hard, dry foods. When all our food
was so hard and dry that it had to
be well chewed before ws could
swallow it our salivary glands were
kept more active and our teeth
cleaner. New York American.
