She had prepared. by special and
subsidiary line of play. for this vital
move. She had been cultivating Con-
stance Hanska. With arts all her
own. Rosalie broke through the re-
serves of that distressed widow. From
discussion OF the murder, Rosalie led
her on to details of her married life.
From that. she lured Constance into
deeper condolences. which involved the
personal peculiaritiee of the late Cap
tain Hanska, such as his way Of speak
ing, the quality Of his voice, and his
methods with women. When Rosalie
settled down to the fifth seance. she
had in her mind a picture of John H.
Hanska which was good enough for
any Of her purposes.
The preliminaries were over; Laugh.
ing-Eyes had gone her babbling way
back to the land Of spirit: Doctor
Carver held control
"A spirit has been trying to commu.
nicate, but he Is a new spirit and not
yet strong. He says that the lady's
sickness Is not of the body. It is of
the mind. He also is not happy yet.

suing silence. Miss Estrilla gave one
hard sob.
The silence lasted for half min
ute. Rosalie strained and struggled as
though a tumult were going on within.
Then came mans voice. higher and
softer than that OF Doctor Carver.

us over here-that we must forgive

"Oh. John-I am trying to forgive
oh. do you understand-wait-"
sasped Miss Estrilla.
But John spoke no more.
He may grow stronger after a
time" said the voice OF Doctor Carver.
If this poor earth vessel through
which We speak does not break" So
he finished the pertinent part OF that
session.
The seances were coming every day
now. Miss Estrilla wished It: and
Rosalie granted her request with an
appearance OF indulgent reluctance.
The next day. John intruded again.
This time. It appeared. he had grown
strong enough to speak consecutively.
Il have not full power yet. But It is

was something OF venture. Rosalie

over the pale and haggard counten-

tears.

over the loaf of bread she was cut

| Augustus step was heard in the

with the bread plate. leaving the

Added TO her perpleXity now was
/ the disagreeable consciousness that

dared tell her that she would not be

Het-this was an unhappy woman

another woman should not?
So strong was the revuson of sem

CHAPTER s

y
The little girl who caught cold
easily was fed on a mixture of re-
J fined innocent" foods, the true ma
ture of which was not suspected by
her doctor.
You have heard of the little girl
who caught cold easily and whose
mother for that reason kept her home
| from school on rainy days. She went
one day TO little party given at a
neighbor's home. Spread before the
children was great frosted cake with
! lighted candles. ice cream bricks. red,
white, green and grown; candies of
seven different hues. and various
goodies that livaled each other in a
riot of color TO catch the attention of
greedy little eyes.
The little merrymakers were trans
ported with the rainbow sweets be-
| fore them. Chatter and laughter and
song filed the entire afternoon. At
the end of the happy day the tired
! little girl was tucked away in her
warm little bed by little mother who
was happy, too.
That night the child fretted a bit
and talked in her sleep. The next
day she did not feel we'll and was not
permitted to go to school. Toward
the evening a slight fever developed,
! which her mother called an upset" J."
The fever continued another day and
then the doctor was called.
He felt her pulse, looked at her
tongue, and asked what she had been
/ eating. When told about the party
/ he smiled and said: "She has prob
ably been eating too much" He gave
her some medicine, and in few days
she was apparently well again.
! The doctor had not taken into con-
| 81 i . -. -.
which that ice cream had been made
was raw milk. He did not know that
a microscopical examination OF il
would have revealed 90,00O,O00 or
ganisms TO. the cubic centimeter.
which is much less than teaspoon
full.
He did not know that many of those
organisms were of pathogcnic or
disease-producing type.
! He did not know that the ice cream
was stiffened with . bodifler made OF
commercial gelatine better and more
truthfully classified as carpenters
glue. which the Bureau OF Chemistry
at Washington has shown to contain
| as many as 5000, 100000 Organisms
to the gram, of which there are twen-
! ty-nine in a single ounce.
He did not know that among those
organisms were many deadly forms Of
| bacterial life.
| He did not know that that glue
contained sulphites, copper, and
arsenic.
! He did not know that it was ori-
ginally intended as wall paper siz-
| ing or for use in the paper box fac
/ tory or the furniture shop, but that
through the cupidity of the CONNER
! cial food manufacturer it had been
/ appropriated for use in confectionery,
| ice cream and cake.
/ He did not know that those col
ored candies were. made chiefly Of
| glucose, sweetened with some 10 or 10
! per cent. of sugar, and a trace of
saccharine.
/ lie did not know the destructive
action of glucose and refined sugars
when excessively consumed.
! He did not know that on such a
diet bees and white mice are quickly
killed, although IL has been generally
supposed that glucose and sugar in
any quantity are good foods for the
| child.
He had read sorc ming of the high

had not stopped to consider the fact
/ that alcohol and gasoline are also of
the high calorie type. He did not
know that high calorie" is mean
ingless, even if scientific. phrase.
He did not know that the flavors
used in that ice cream and candy were
derived from ethers and were purely
artificial
He did not know that their colors
were certified coal tar dyes originally
! intended for the ribbon factory, and
| so he charged Helen's illness to "over-
eating" but he did not place much
/ importance upon the kind of food
which he had overeaten.
/ But we are to discuss this thing
sensibly, frankly. fully. We are to
learn why our little girl caught cold
so easily; why it was difficult to cure
those colds and why she had periodi-
/ cal "upsets."
| OF what did her breakfast consist? =?
! There was, of course, the usual coffee
and the usual rolls and toast, with one
! of the many popular breakfast foods
/ served with milk produced by COWS
| fed on brewers grain, beet pulp, dis
| tillery waste. cottonseed meal. and
| gluten feed, by-product of the glu-
cose factory. Is this not the break
| fast of millions, you ask? We shall
answer that.
/ OF what did the child's breakfast
food consist? Breakfast foods made
of wheat, corn, barley. and rice must
keep; they must look nice" BY
what process are these two require
ments fulfilled? The facts that fol-
! low will answer these questions. and
, if the answer cuts deep into hearts
that have been pierced already let the
later wounds inspir- atonement. We
have gathered together for the sake
of the child.

home for his lunch, the mother fried

CHAPTER XXXVI.

CHAPTER AAANI.
Copyright, 1915, Star Company
The question repeated itself to Jane
Reeves. Her husband had forbidden
her speaking of the dresses. She
might have found it easy to obey him
had it not been for the broken SEN
tences she had overheard.
Why had Masy needed money !:
Who was the person that was i'll and
for whom she must have il? Why
would not Augustus give it to herr
And had he really told Mary that
sometime she was to have the gowns
which he now wanted his wife 10
have?
Jane had never tried to persuade
herself that she could love this man
who was her husband. She had hoped
that she would he able 10 tolerate
him. To this end, she had tried 10
think of his virtues. rather than OF
his faults, since she had settled in his
home.
If she did not do this she was con-
vinced she could not live under the
same roof with him.
Two virtues she had believed he
possessed were honesty and a certain
kind of Justice. She was sure that he
wages or salary. And his sense of
Justice should prevent his accusing
the woman of that of which she was
not guilty.
For Mary had not been guilty. That
was plain from the few words Jane
had heard her utter. The woman had
spoken detiantly, as if her employer
were to blame for her not having
money with which to pay the physt-
ian of some person in whom she was
Interested. Could Reeves have prom
ised to give her his dead wife's clothes
IN lieu of money he owed her?
But no, he would not do such a
no affection to make her charitable
in her judgment of him, was sure that
he would not do that. Perhaps Mary
had been so much excited that she
had said in self-defense what was not
true. Perhaps he had never even told
her she could have any of those
dresses. But Augustus had not denied
her statement. Would he not have
done so tempestuously if he could =?
Yet she had heard only a little of
the conversation, Jane reflected
Therefore she should not judge. She
would not try to think of it.
To make such resolution was
easier than to carry il out. When an
hour later Reeves called from the
lower hall that it was almost dinner
time. she started guiltily. appreciating
that she had been sitting brooding on
that which she had determined to
Danish from her mind. She remem-
bered also that Reeves wished her to
establish the habit of going into
kitchen and diningroom few minutes
before each meal Ito see that every
thing was all right"
That her doing this was the most
hollow of shams both she and the
housekeeper knew. The housekeeper
never consulted the wife and the wife
never ventured j suggestion TO her
