FOOD IN FRUIT SKINS.
Eutritive Qualities In Them Believed
to BE a IiFnia Food.

There are more nutritiVe qualities
hidden in the skins OF fruits, cereals
ana vegetables than the average per-
son is aware Of. In fact, the great
bulk of the brain building foods are in
the skins of the fruits and vegetables
we eat.
If, as Savarin says, 1.-The destiny of
nations depends on their FOOD then
the destiny. whether Il healthy long
life or insanity or suicide OF every unit
of the United States depends on how he
or she is fed
Ii the breed so much depends upon
food, why should not every person ca
pable of normal thought seek to pro-
cure such food as best sustains his or
her normality? Brain starvation,
through the lack of suitable brain and
nerve nourishment in our daily food,
is the sole cause of the craving for
stimulants to supply, as they do, arti-
ficially and improperly what nature
has provided in natural form in the
skin of the grape, which contains the
best part of the wine; in the skins of
all fruits and vegetables, and if not in
the skins of the cereals how comes it
that stimulating properties are extract
ed from them, as the inner kernel,
the starch. is devoid of anything other
than a heat giver?
1t has been proved by chemical anal
ysis and demonstrated by microscopic
experiments that the most valuable
brain sustaining properties are resi-
dent in all skins of cereals, fruits and
vegetables, and as an instance of the
great difference to the health resultant
from partaking or rejecting the skins
here is an incident that occurred in
India, as told by an Indian officer:
a regiment was stationed in a part
of the country where grapes were the
chief article of food. The officers, one
after another. became so sick as to be
invalided as unfit for service, but it
being considered remarkable that the
troops were all well commission of
inquiry was instituted, when it was
found that while every trooper in eat
ing grapes swallowed the skins the Off
GERS followed the fashionable habit of
rejecting them. 1t was then ordered
that the officers should swallow the
skins. which was done. with the result
that they Immediately recovered.
Thus it will be seen that the skin of
the grape. besides being brain feeder,
possesses other healthful and nutritive
qualities necessary to the sustenance of
the human body. The reason why as
paragus. cabbage, string beans. lettuce.
spinach and other green vegetables are
so wholesome is that the skins are not
rejected.-Ou Friend.

Into the broad, white road the mare
Shot like living projectile and made

1t.
That was the moment
Vincents horse crashed upon the
mare. and both animals reeled from
the shock. The fugitive went over the
wall, but Elaine was safe in the arms
of Vincent. Her foot providentially
slipped from the stirrup. but he was
hard put to keep her from slipping to
the ground
He heard her mutter incoherently:
Il did it on purpose-to see-if YOU
actually would do it-and she-she
really ran away. Oh, Vincentw And
thus they chung together while the del
uge poured upon them.
There they come at last" said Mrs.
Buford, with satisfaction and retribu-
ton mingling in her tones. He is a
stupid impostor. and he cannot deny
the proofs now have"
Two rain soaked figures mounted the
steps and came into the house. Like
an avenging angel. Mrs. Buford barred
their entrance to the library. In one
hand she held a photograph, in the
other an open letter.
"Alr Vincent Merrill. 1 believe you
call yourselfY
THAT is my NAME" was his proud
reply.
II may inform you, sir. that the de-
tectives whom | employed to find the
real savior of my niece declare that
you are simply masquerading as the
individual in this portrait" She drew
herself up several inches. 1.-THE genu-
inc hero turns out to be a poor denizen
of the east side suspected Of some pet
ty theft and anxious to avoid publicity
through fear of the police That is
why we were unable to locate and
properly reward him. My younger
niece's unfortunate blunder has placed
Elaine in a most awkward predica-
ment. In fact, she has been your
dupe."
Elaine gasped, but Mrs Buford con-
tinucd remorSelessly:
"And now. Mr. Merrill, what have
you to say for yourself?
Ninccnt's glance fell to the floor,
where water was ooZing from his boots
in muddy puddles.
"Well, TO he perfectly frank. Mrs
Buford. we were caught in frightful
storm and sought shelter at the Meth
odist parsonage, and-and while we
were there we just thought we'd be
married: that is ALL"

about hot lead being poured into hus-

with pillows as they slept.
The next four weeks were wretched
ones. Not meal did the husband sit

A Tough Negro.

Stories of brute toughness and Ho,
merle endurance are tenderly preserv-
ed in the folklore of the water front
how, for instance, Scipio Flanagan,
1.-THE biggest niger in the business
supported the entire weight of an i'm
mense packing case. weighing upward
of l.S0O. on his PROSTATE body. The
negro held the hand truck to receive
the case. which in the hands of half a
dozen men was being balanced at just
the right angle to slip into place. But
1t hit the edge of the truck and knock
ed it away. and the negro unluckily
lost his footing and fell fiat with the
great box Oh top of him. He shrieked
in terror and groaned, it was said, like
siren whistle, but when a gang of
fifteen men lifted the thing bodily and
pulled him out all he did was to screw
his fists into his eyes like big child,
stretch his long limbs grotesquely and
return to work. OF course he talked
about this feat for many a day.-Frank

Teachin" Rusiness.

The merchant of fifty years ago be-
lieved that business could not be learn
ed by educational processes. says a
writer in Success. The school which
proposed to teach business was looked
upon with suspicion. 1t advertised to
do the impossible. The tricks of the
trade had to be taught in the counting
room under system of apprenticeship
The merchant received the boy into his
family and made him the trusted com
panion of his life and labors 1t was
the same in that day in all trades. but
conditions are changed The volume
of business now transacted and the
methods in vogue in Offices. stores and
factories make it impossible for the
BUSINESS man of today TO afford time
for the general training of his clerks
and assistants. The shop is the place
where training must he used rather
than sought. Thus in many occupa-
tons it has become necessary to sub
stitute practical training in the schools
for the teaching formerly given
through experience.-Detroit News

OLD FAMILIES OF VENICE.
Their Fortunes Are Dissipated and
Their Palaces Sold.

Very few of the fine old palaces Of
Venice belong to the descendants Of the
families who built and originally occu-
pied them. Very little of the enormous
wealth for which Venice was celebrat-
ed in the fifteenth century remains.
The most of it has been dissipated by
the descendants of the men who made
1t, the same as in England. France and
other countries The rich men of Ven
ice today are an entirely new class of
people, whose names do not appear in
the Golden Book. which contained a
list of the patrician families in Venice
who were invited to festivities at the
palace. This book was instituted in
1915 and thenceforth until the Aus
trian occupation was the index and
standard of nobility by which all claims
to precedence were decided.
Occasionally the grand council, by a
vote rewarded the gallantry or public
services of some citizen of humble
birth by directing that his name be in
scribed upon its pages. None but those
whose names were in the Golden Book
could use the golden stairs when they
entered Il doge's palace, and when this
right was conferred it was equivalent
to an order of nobility in another coun-
try. There is one notable exception to
the decay of the ancient families. and
he is Count Grimani, who traces his
lineage back to one of the most IA
nous of the doges. whose portrait.
painted by Titan, hangs in the council
chamber OF the doge's palace. The
Grimani palace is on the Grand canal,
near the Rialto bridge, and is cele-
brated for its finely sculptured CAPT
tails
Many of the rich men In Venice to-
day are Jews They practically control
the banking business and manufactur-
ing. They own the fine houses of his
torical interest and the best paying es-
tates on the mainland in the neigh
borhood. The present wealth of Venice
is invested not so much in real estate
as in banking. manufacturing, flour
mills. elevators, gas companies, cotton
mills. the manufacture of glass and in
steamships upon the Adriatic.-Chicago

The Antinuity of Whcnf.

The Chinese cultivated wheat 2,700
years before the beginning of the Chris
tian era. always considering it as a
gift direct from heaven. Scientific ag-
riculturists are Of the opinion that it
was widely known and cultivated by
prehistoric man. AT the present time
it is the principal bread corn of the
leading European nations and is fast
supplanting the use of maize, or Indian
corn. in the American states. The
Egyptians attributed its origin to Isis
and tie Greeks to Ceres.

Very good Mr.. Grant. You show
erudition beyond your years. Now, if
you will notice my water bucket. you
will see that it is as dry as Il chip.
New, by the further exercise of your
knowledge, Mr.. Grant, can you tell me
by what means may prevent the
warping and leaking of my bucket?"
'lIave it filled" said Grant
Very good again. Mr.. Grant but
note that you said have it filed not
fill it, That necessarily means that
some one must fill it for me- You have
shown so much acumen that | fear

letter or in spirit. which should do if

a Plea For Rest For Our Familiar
Quotations.
In these days when everybody is
writing and everybody seems to sue
coed would it not be we'll to start
society for the protection of words and
phrases? Many of these are so bru-
tally overworked by the amateur. The
winged words, the words that burn,
the thoughts that breathe, the telling
phrases. do they not clamor loudly for
a rest? That very sentence affords an
Illuminating example of what | mean.
How apt. how vivid how expressive il

their vitality through overwork. TO
the stated reader the whole sentence is
but the echo of an echo. 1t not merely
means nothing bur it is robbed even of
its sound and fury.
