PHYSIOLOGY OF THE DINNER
TABLE,
The philosophers who have a theory for every fact have had a try to explain the British dinner and we find time-honoured eustonis endorsed by the inding of golence.
"When customs become so universal as have those of the civilised world in re- gard to the composition of the daily meat and the order of the various courses comprising it, they no longer excite our curiosity. Were one asked for the reasen of our practices in the composition of the ordinary dinner he would probably state that custom has established the routine and would not for a moment think that there is good physiological reason for it. Thore nevertheless is. The discoveries in the physiology of digestion during the past dozen years have shown that there in scientific basis for our linbita in the taking of food and that we have un- consciously established
A routine of courses in the dinner that takes thorough cognizance of the physiological principles; upon which digestion is founded.
In more elaborate affairs than ordinary dinner there in seen to be on analysis a purposiveness in our practices that may on casual observation seem to be entirely without physiological signi ficance. Take, for instance, the elaborate gowns worn by the women and the eyeD- ing suits by the men, the floral decora- tions, and the music.

There is no doubt that each of those serves the function of compusing a gen- orally favourable stage-setting, as it were, for digestion. It has been abundantly shown in recent years that a person's mood is of the greatest significance in the performance of the digestive functions. If one is in a happy frame of mind, free from cares and worries of his professional or commercial surroundings, digestion proceeds as it normally should; on the other hand, worry, anger, and anxiety the carbohydrate foodstuffs being placed are potent factors in destroying the at the end of the meal. It is well known normal progress of the digestive fune that the gastric secretions contain no tions. There can be but little doubt that forments which act upon starch.

Coming now to a consideration of the composition of the meal itself, think how frequently the first course consists of some article of food which appeals forcibly to our sense of smell, as caviar, nardellen, Bachovies or smoked salmon. This practice is, of course, in accord with the principles of digestion first thorough ly investigated by Parlow, who showed in his wonderful series of experiments that the most potent factors in the pro- duction of a favourable flow of gastric juice are stimuli which appeals to tlie various special senses, chiefly small and taste.
