Therefore, the re-pack for that week was 36 gross medium priced goods and 10 gross of high price goods. I will show you now where the $70.00 is and where the 36' grosses is, and where the 10 gross figured in the financial sheet (Def't's Ex 4). There is a little sheet stuck

There is a cycle of acidity and in the progress of digestion that increases, and then later it goes down. Food that is not thoroughly emulsified will remain in the stomach indigestly. cabbage like that (State's Exhibit G) and wheat bread, might remain in the stomach until the process of digestion is complete, which ordinarily would be from three and a half to four hours.

The or-dinary time that it takes wheat bread to pass out of the stomachis not less than three hours. The time for a meal consisting ofcabbage cooked for about an hour and wheat biscuit to pass out ofthe stomach depends a great deal upon the mastication of the food.The times given above have reference to the most favorable condi-tions.

There can be no doubt that these pieces would retard the digestion and the passage from the stomach into the small intestine.

I couldn't say and I don't think anybody could say, how long cabbage and wheat bread in such condition would stay in the stomach. As far as wheat bread and
