Live Without Stomachs.
Important Organ is not Absolutely
Necessary for Existence.
AI L- I /.I- A. 1- - 1
nougn die niomacn is h vriaable
organ it is perfectly possi
ble to get along without it, hp
*? < ?et forth recently by Prof. 11,
P. Paterson, F. R. C. S., in a lecture
delivered at the Royol Col
lege of burgeons, of England, at
London. During the course of his
remarks the lecturer discussed
the removal of the whole stomach
as a radical cure for malignant
disease. The lecturer observed,
savs the London Standard, that
while the value of a good stomach
is undoubted, fortunatly nature
is able to dispense with this organ,
as most of its functions can
be performed vicariously by
other portions of the alimentary
i>a nai.
Nature has duplicated three of
the four functions performed by
the stomach, although the loss of
the gastric secretion cannot altogether
be compensated. "Those
who have lost it," says one authority,
"have one weapon the less
in the struggle for existence." It
has been shown that dogs may
gain in weight and remain in
perfect health after removal of
the entire stomach, while the elaborate
observations made on a
patient prove that the same holds
good of human beings. These observations
record that the absorp
tion of albumen was unaffected,
and no putrefactive changes occurred
in the intestines, which
shows that the absence of the
gastric juice does not lead to decomposition
in the intestines.

American business, railway
travel, and hotel lite would all
suffer trom the elimination ol the
"drummer" for trade. But this
result is threatened, according to
one of the "bagmen." "First
it was the trusts and now it is
the disttibuting centers that are
out against us," says one ot this
hustling and ubiquitous clan.?
"The combines threw a lot of
commercial travelers out of their
jobs, and now they have devised
the distributing center idea to
make it still more difficult for us
to earn a living."

ing concerns and wholesalers sent
traveling men all over the country.
These almost abolished the
older custom, which now in a
modified form is coming hack, of
small merchants ''going to the
city 'o buy goods." "Now," said
this drummer, " t lit se same manufacturers
go on a hunt for what
thf1)* call centers, and there they
establish a branch store, where
their go ;<is are sold wholesale to
the c ti?*s for miles around. In
the larger cities these centers
have been established and the
small merch id's from the towns
arotp come in to do their buy
i "g. Tho-e manufacturers are
inducing the merchants to come
to them, instead of going to tin
meiclrmts, and there h< cms to be
satisfaction on both sides." ?

Starting Newspapers.
What Happened to an Experiment
in Meriden, where
a Man Thought he Had a
Call to Serve the Public.
From the Ilartford TinieB.
i The eareer of the Meriden
. Times, which has quit after ten
months'journey from cradle to
grave, represents, with local var
mtions, the experience of many
i another journalistic venture
Seeking to conquer impossible
i condition,our Meriden namo^akt;
winch was a creditable publica(
tiou,ends the struggle as a victim
; and not as a victor. Trying t(
i crowd in where there was nr
. room for it, the paper dies ne
hundreds of other journals that
L A. Al _ I J _ _ 1 1_
Muuniu vo occupy neius aireauy
fully occupied have died. Meri
den is a community of 30,000 in
habitants, and has a very limited
suburban population. Already
admirably served by the Record
in the morning, and by tho Journal
in the evening, the city is too
i small to enable a third daily
paper to get three decent meals
i a day. The result of the experi;
ment which has been made and
which has caused a good deal ot
cash to be swapped for a good
deal of experience, might have
been forecasted by any one-eyed
prophet.
It's easy enough to start a
newspaper ; it's frequently hard
enough to keep the thing going.
People with ambition to gratify,
or with grievances to redress, or
with schemes to promote can easily
imagine that a clamorous
public demand exists for a new
paper in the community. They
forget that reading men and wo.
| men don't change their newspaper
habits over night any more
than thay cast off one set of
friends and take on another set
between sunset and dawn, Millions
of dollars have been expended
in the United States during
the past ten years in starting superfluous
papers, in trying to
keep their heads above water a d
in administering hypodemic injections
of cold cash. When the
backers get tired of the hopeless
struggle, suspension or sale or
merger with some other publication
take place. The situation recalls
Horace (ireelv's poem :
Man s a vapor,
Full of woes
Starts a paper?
Up she goes.
The business of starting newspapers
has been tremendously
overdone. In many communities
may be found more journals than
are needed, more than can be
supported and more than the
public has any use lor. An inci
dental result is that millions ? t
dollars are annually spent in trying
to bolster up unprofitable
properties. The Meriden experiment.
which has now reached the
1 obsequies stage, is one of a hundred

T~~1HE above picture of the
man and fish is the trademark
of Scott's Emulsion,
and is the synonym for
strength and purity. It is sold
in almost all the civilized .'mm.
trios of the globe.
If the cod fish became extinct
it would be a world-wide calamity,
because the oil that comes
from its liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors of Scott's Emulsion
found a way of preparing
cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value of
the oil without tiie objectionable
taste. Scott's Emulsion is the
best thing in the world for weak,
backward children, thin, delicate -
people, and nil conditions of
wasting and lost strength.
