loose pebbles which made progress slow
and firing. 1t was not way one would
choose, and since near the entrance there
were other paths more inviting, Martha
concluded that they Were nearing the end
of the journey. For moment on entering
the defile her heart sank within her. 1t
was like leaving the open world and the
sunlight to creep into the dark unknowable
where some horrible fate might await her.
Would she ever step freely into the open
light of day again? Her thoughts sped
backward to the tower standing above the
pass and to the man she had left there.
Which road had he taken-the way TO Stur-
atzberg. the path across the mountains
northward which led to safety? If to
Sturatzberg. why had he gone there? Her
hands clenched little as an answer came
quickly to her question, but she murmured
to herself: What is it to me? l am Ma
rita. the lawful ruler of this land. What
is anything TO me but the memory of my
fathers and the battle for my rights?' The
thought brought back her courage, and
made/her calm.
They had not proceeded far along the mar
row defile before they were challenged by a
sentry posted upon narrow pathway which
seemed to have been scooped out of the
solid rock above the rough road they were
traversing. The challenge was a mere
form. for he could not fail to recognize
many of its companions. but his gun was
not lowered until the password had been
shouted back. This was evidently the brig
ands stronghold and it was we'll guarded
In a retreat so defended by nature the
brigands could defy any army sent against
them, and for the first time Martha under
stood why no effort had been successful in
dislodging them.

WEIGH YOUR FOOD
DR.. Wiley, the Noted Chemist,
Advises Man to Eat on a
One Per Cent Basis.
IS SECRET OF GETTING FAT
How to Grow Thin Also Revealed in
Simple Rule for Regulation
of Diet.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. chief of the
bureau of chemistry of the department
of agriculture, is authority for the
statement that every man eats every
day Il per cent of his weight in dry
foods. and 1t requires Il hundred days
for him to eat his own head off. If
man eats less he will lose weight, DR..
Wiley asserts. and if he eats more he
will gain, which will be good news 10
the fat who want TO get thin and the
thin who want to get fat, says Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Herald. DR.. Wiley adds that every
person should consume four and half
pounds of solids and liquids every day.
but in doing the ordinary work of
government clerk this amount is above
the average.
To the house committee on eXpendi-
lures of the department of agriculture
| Dr.. Wiley recently said he had never
made an investigation TO determine the
best foods for mental labor, but he be
| lieved the general opinion that parttc-
| ular kinds of foods nourished particu-
| lar parts Of the body was quite erro-
neOuS.
| Nerve and brain foods are adver-
| tised. but they are all nonsense" said
! DR.. Wiley. Nor do drugs have fat
tening effect. On the contrary, most OF
| them have Il degrading effect. Arsenic
I'D TO certain point has IL fattening
effect. 4 man gains in weight for Il
time and then dies. But that is poi
son.
! a man may drink glass of typhoid
| germs if he is in vigorous health and
1 may not get typhoid fever, because his
/ system may throw off the poison, but
if he is broken down one of the germs
! will produce typhoid. Not a man but
has n pneumonia germ in his mouth.
1t will not affect the healthy being, but
let man get cold and it will take its
seat in his lungs"
i What do you consider the best food
, for man to eat?" asked Chairman
: Littletield.
, Il think man ought to choose his
own ration replied DIR. Wiley. Lots
, of people are vegetarians. | think we
eat too much meat for health. For the
, suStenauce of physical eXertiOn if you
have hard work to do there is nothing
, better than starch or sugar. The cerea
eating nations can endure more physic
al toll than the meat eating nations
That is not the accepted view, but is
true. You cannot tire out Il Japanese
who eats rice. He will draw you al
around the town on a pound of rice
Z and be as fresh at the close of the day
) as when he started. You could not dc
that on Il pound of meat TO save YOU
life"

other substances That have been com
monty used in our foods.
THE young men are first allowed to
eat wholesome food. We buy the best
in the market. 1t is carefully inspect
ed by myself and analysed. They have
preliminary period. during which we
vary the ration. SO that they do not
either gain or lose in weight. Then we
add small quantity of one of the
personalities. like borax, adding half
a grain a day to their food. They eat
that for. ten days. Then we increase
ii TO a grain, and they eat that for
another ten days.
Nothing is wasted. If they trim
their finger nails they have to bring
the trimmings to us, or if their hair Is
cut they bring us their hair, 50 we can
keep track of the income and outgo,
just as you keep bank account. In
that way we can determine whether
these things disturb the natural prog
ress of affairs.
I'VE keep that up until we make
them i'll, until we produce some effect,
a disturbance of some kind. Then we
put them on the old ration and observe
that for ten or fifteen days, until they
are restored to their normal condition
This requires an enormous amount of
analytical work, and yet it is the only
way in which these great questions
can be answered. You can theOriZe
| about it as much as you like. but the
facts must be ascertained before Il
| final conclusion.
"One of the interesting things We
| found was the effect of fumes of burn

preservation of foods. We examined
microscopically the blood of each of
| our young men. We counted the blood
| corpuscles, white and red, and the
amount of coloring matter, and we
found that the moment they began to
take sulphurous acid their blood cor
puscles began to fade and became d.
minished in number, the oxygen carry

COAL FAMINE FAKE.
Shortage Stories Are Manufactured
Out of "WhOle Cloth"

The Walla Walla Union says of the
fuel famine fake which has been agi-
tated by dealers in the combination:
The coal men have succeeded in in
ducing many property owners of this
city, and nearly all of the larger in
stitutions to lay in a supply sufficient
to last far into the winter, the pre-
diction of a fuel shortage having been
used as an argument in favor of max
ing heavy summer shipments and
sales. Since the true status of the
case was given to the public through
the columns of the Union several days
ago. residents of the Garden City have
apparently lost interest in laying in
an early supply, and those coal men
who are secretly identified with pro-
ducers are experiencing a decided
slump in sales.
As a result of the diminution in
sales, a drop in quotation is looked for
at almost any time, and the predic-
ton is freely made by those dealers
not in the combine, that before Christ
mas both coal and wood will be SELL
ing at a much lower figure.
The market columns of almost every
paper in the state intimate that the
shortage story has been manufacture
ed from whole cloth. Spokane, Seat
tie, Tacoma and North Yakima are
more than well supplied with fuel
and shipments are being received with
little or no delay.
Orders at the mines are being filled
with precision, and it has been said
that dealers in the alleged combine
are given every advantage over those
on the outside, in order that summer
sales may be made at the present ex-
orbitant figures before the true situ-
alton of the market becomes general
ly known, and the drop in quotations
results.
