The Hon Sybil
daughter of Viscount Mlddleton by
his suite As the monarchs passed in

The first action of the coronation

unto you King George the undoubted

Charteris daughter of ihe veteran

ceremony Following the example of
Queen Alexandra she was anointed

dove
Few Americans in the Abbey
Of all the Americans who have
been attracted to London by the fes
tivities of the coronation season only
a very few were admitted to the
Abbey These included President
Tafts special ambassador John Hays
Hammond and Mrs Hammond Maj
Gen Greely and Rear Admiral Vree
land representing the army and
navy and the latters secretary Am
bassador Whitelaw Reld and Mrs
Reid and the attaches and secretaries
of the embassy Plerpont Morgan and
less than a score of American women
who married English peers
One fact connected with the coro
nation was the subject of some amused
comment This was that King George
who is quite the reyerse of a giant
had selected four of the shortest
knights of the garter to hold the gol
den canopy over him during the
anointing They were the earl of
Cadogan Lord Roberts Lord Elgin
and Lord Rosebery These four peers
were the only ones arrayed in the
gorgeous robes of the order of the
garter
Miss Gye is perhaps the most inter
esting of the maids of honor in so
far as she has had a cosmopolitan ex
perience Her late father was Brit
ish consul at Brest and she was edu
cated in Paris Consequently she
speaks French as idiomatically as la
real Parislenne
The last in the list of maids of hon
or is Miss Katherine Villiers daugh
ter of the late Col the Hon George
Villiers second brother of the earl
of Clarendon who was at one time
military attache at St Petersburg

A short human interest story written by C W Post for the Postum Cereal Co Ltd
ISA BTTT nfh sA ik
To tell you the curious story of how the mind
affects the digestion of food
I refer to the condition the mind is in Just
before at the time or Just following the taking
of food
If he has been properly educated the major
ity have he will help you understand the curious
machinery of digestion
To start you thinking on this interesting
subject I will try to lay out the plan in a general
way and you can then follow into more minute
details
Pawlow pronounce Pavloff a famous Russian Phy
sician and Chemist experimenting on some dogs cut
into the tube leading from the throat to the stomach
They were first nut under chloroform or some other
anaesthetic and the operation was painless They were
kept for months in very good condition
When quite hungry some unappetizing food was
placed before them and although hunger forced them
to eat it was shown by analysis of the contents of the
stomach that little if any of the digestive juices were
found
Then in contrast some raw meat was put where they
couldnt reach it at once and a little time allowed for
the minds of the dogs to anticipate and create an ap
petite When the food was finally given them they de
voured it ravenously and with every evidence of sat
isfaction The food was passed out Into a dish through
the opening before it reached the stomach It was
found to he mixed with Ptyalin the alkaline juice of
the mouth which is Important for the first step in di
gestion Then an analysis was made of the contents of
the stomach into which no food had entered It was
shown that the digestive fluids of stomach were flowing
freely exactly as if the desirable food had entered
This proved that It was not the presence of food
which caused the digestive juices to flow but the flow
was caused entirely and alone as a result of the action
of tho mind from anticipation
One dog continued to eat the fjjpd he liked for over
an hour believing lie was getting it into his stomach
whereas not an ounce went there every particle went
out through the opening and yet all this time the di
gestive juices flowed to the stomach prepared to
quickly digest food in response to the curious order3 of
the mind
Do you pick up the lesson
Unappetizing food that which fails to create mental
anticipation does not cause the necessary digestive
Juices to flow whereas food that Is pleasing to the
sight and hence to the mind will cause the complicated
machinery of the body to prepare in a wonderful way
for its digestion
How natural then to reason that one should sit down
to a meal in a peaceful happy state of mind and start
off the breakfast say with some ripe delicious fruit
then follow with a bowl of crisp lightly browned thin
bits of corn like Post Toasties add a sprinkle of sugar
and some good yellow cream and the attractive appetiz
ing picture cannot escape your eye and will produce the
condition of mind which causes the digestive juices
nature has hidden in mouth and stomach to come forth
and do their work
These digestive juices can be driven back by a mind
oppressed with worry hate anger or dislike of the dis
agreeable appearance of food placed before one
Solid facts that are worthy the attention of anyone
who esteems prime health and human happiness as a
valuable asset in the game of life
Theres a Reason for saying The Memory Lingers when breakfast is
started with POST TOASTIES
