Now that we have learned a few things about the blood, we must be careful what we give this care-taker of the body to eat. We have learned very little of what there is to know, and as you grow older I hope you will study and learn more.
THE BATHROOM
THE BATHROOM
ELEN: I have been thinking of what you said about the blood being washed every time it made a trip to any part of the body. Where is the bath room in the body-house, mother?
Mother: It is a large double room, and it is found in the top part of the trunk, each side of the heart.
Percy: Why, I thought that was where the lungs are.
Mother: So it is; and it is in them that the blood is made clean after every journey it takes through the body.
Amy: But is there water in the lungs in which to wash the blood?
