are so.
But this girl isn't anything to me.

Mildred! There was a world Of en-.

toward her.
No! She turned away. You may

Without another word, she took Phil's
arm and walked away.

Ferroll Hall. AS they entered the
door, the strains of Just for Tonight
floated across the room.

Yes.
When the waltz was concluded, he
looked into her eyes.

he questioned.
No, not for tonight. She smiled IN

HEALTH HINTS
SKIN

The skin does more than act as a
covering for the body. It is one OF
the principal organs for throwing of
waste which the body is constantly
forming Just as fire forms ashes IN
the process OF burning.
The kidneys and the liver, the lungs
and the skin all cooperate to get this
waste out of the system.
In the case of the skin there are
millions of little pockets called sweat
glands which have this work 10 do,
for sweat Is nothing more than 4
watery extract OF the waste products
of the body.
Another Of the very important
things which the skin does is to helm
regulate the body temperature. This
Is done by automatic changes In the
size of the blood vessels Of the skin
and by the changes in the secretion
OF sweat.

WHAT GRAY TAIL SAW.

Copyright, 1915. by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicatel
Gray Tail was a squirrel who iiVed
In the wood and had his home in a
high oak tree.
All day long he searched under the
trees. AS soon as he would find a
sound nut he would put 1t in his moutA
and. as soon as his mouth was fun, ne
would mi up the tree to the hole
where he was to live all winter. and
safely store the nuts away. In a feW
days the hole was we'll filled and Gray
Tail knew that he was safe for the
winter.
One day he was searching among the
leaves to sec if he could not flnd inc
biggest nut in the forest, when bang
there fell from the branch above him
the largest nut he had ever seen. II
struck the ground with "a loud noise,
and, bounding along, rolled down the
hill.
Gray Tail ran after it as fast as he
could go, but the nut. instead Of stop
ping, seemed to roll faster the farther
it went. Gray Tail, however, was u
pretty lively squirrel and, by a httlc
extra exertion, had almost caught up
with il. when the nut disappeared in a
hole in the ground.
Gray Tail was going so fast and was
so intent on getting the nut that he
went right after it, and, as the nut went
bounding down the hole, Gray Tail fol-
lowed it. Il wonder where that nut is
| going?" he asked himself. and just then
he saw the nut go bang against Il door
and stop.
1t did not seem any time at all be-
| fore the door opened and the quecrest
little mar Gray Tail ever saw stuck his
head out and said: who is there"
OF course the nut could not answer
| and, as the strange man looked right
| at Gray Tail. he had to say something,
so he said. Il am Gray Tail, the SPUR
rel that lives in the big oak a little

And what do you want?" asked the

Az far back as history records,
wheat has been the main food element
of the human race and today, as in the
time of King Pharaoh, the products
made from this grain figure largely in
the sustaining of life the world over.
In the United States. we have con-
fined the use of wheat largely to max
Ing flour for breadstuffs, and until re
cent years have overlooked the use OF
it in making one of the most healthful,
savory and n~ourishIns of foods that
could grace our tables, viz: macaroni,
spaghctti. vermicelli, noodles and kin
dred products.
For centuries Europeans on the
shores of the Mediterranean sea have
used macaroni and spaghetti as their
principal article of diet. and these peo-
pie are today the hardest races in the
world. The hardness of Americans in
taking up this food product has been
largely due to our surplus production
of meats. but for the past few years
his surplus has actually changed to
a shortage caused by the passing of
the large ranches and cheap grazing
lands and meats nave been mounting
higher and higher in the scale of prices
until meat dinners are fast becoming
n luxury. This condition will never
be changed. the day of cheap meats in
the United States as in Europe Is for
ever behind us. so we must find a sub
stitute that is equally as meritorious
and nutritious an article of diet.
Physicians. food experts and dieticianS
nave for decades maintained that the
average American eats too much meat.
and there is Il greater element that
eschews it altogether, using only what
is termed natural foods" consisting
of cooked grain products, fruits, nuts
and vegetables and these foods, it is
claimed impart to the human body
the greatest amoun of energy and
maintain normal conditions of life. Be
that as it may, a great many people
object to an exclusive vegetarian diet
and this great class along with h
v~egetarians, has turned to macaroni
and spaghetti because of it's adapta-
bility to any kind of dish desired.
Macaroni or spaghetti can be cooked
in such a variety of ways that h
heartiest or most fastidious palate can
be pleased-with cheese. with toma-
toes. oysters, cheap cuts of meat,
mushrooms, fish, eggs or cream. the
most toothsome dishes can be prepared
and a perfectly balanced meal served
in this one dish alone. and that, too,
at a financial saving to the good

said Goblin, "and in the spring we have
