from a pigeonhole and wrote rapidly
upon it. Once more his optimism was
locking horns with prudent caution.
1t was optimism, however, that was
driving the pen. Baldwin's word was
worth something, and it might be
disastrous to let these two get away
without anchoring them solidly to
the Brewster City National.
Sign this. you two" he said. "I
don't know even the name of your
new outfit yet, but I'll take a chance
on one piece of two-name paper,
anyhow"
Smith took up the slip and glanced
at 1t. 1t was an accommodation note
for twenty thousand dollars. With
the money fairly in his hands, he
paused to drive the nail of inde-
pendence squarely before he would
begin.
I'VE don't want this at all. Mr..
comes with it, he said with becom-
ing gravity.
TN stand by you" was the brus-
que rejoinder. But it's only fair to
YOU both to say that you've got the
biggest kind of a combination to
buck you-a national utilities cor
poration with the strongest sort of
political backing"
Il doubt if you can tell us any
thing that we don't already know"
said Smith cody, as he put his name
on the note; and when Baldwin had
signed: Let this go to the credit of
Timanyoni Ditch, if you please, Mr..
kinzie, and we'll transfer it later. It's
quite possible that we shan't need it.
but we are willing to help out little
on your discount profits. anyway.
Further along, when things shape
themselves up a bit more definitely,
you shall know all there is to know,
and we'll give you just as good a
chance to make money as you'll give
us"
When they were safely out of the
bank and half a square away from
ii, Dexter Baldwin pushed his hat
back and mopped his forehead.
They say a man can't sweat at this
altitude he remarked. I'm here to
tell you, Smith, that I've lost ten
pounds in the last ten minutes.
Where in the name of jumping Je-
hoshaphat did you get your nerve,
boy? You made him believe we'd got
outside backing from somewhere"
"I didn't say anything like that,
NO; but you opened the door and
he walked in"
That's all right; I'm not respon-
sibie for Mr.. Kinzie's Imagination.
We were obliged to have a little ad-
vertising capital: we couldn't turn a
wheel without ii. Put me in touch
with a good business lawyer, and I'll
start the legal machinery. Then you
can get into your car and go around
and interview your crowd, man by
man. I want to know exactly where
we stand with the old stockholders
before we make any move in public.
Can you do that?"
Baldwin lifted his hat and showed
his fingers through his hair.
''I reckon / can: there are only
sixty or seventy of EN-. And Bob
Stillings is your lawyer. Come around
the corner and I'll introduce you"

RHEUMATISM

1t matters not whether you have
had agonizing pains from rheuma-

H. c. Kennedy and all druggists
sell Rheuma on a no-cure-no-pay
basis for not more than so cents a

poonful once a day for two days you
should know that at last you have
obtained a remedy that will conquer
rheumatism.
For over five years throughout
America Rheuma has been prescrib-

CHAPTER v.
The Rocket and the Stick,


For a full fortnight after the pre-
liminary visit to the Brewster City
National bank Smith was easily the
busiest man in Timanyoni county.
Esta blishing himself in the Hophra
House, and discarding the working
Khaki only because he was shrewd
enough to dress the new part becom-
ingly, he flung himself into what
Colonel Baldwin called the mira Gle
working" campaign with a zest that
knew no tagging moment.
Within the fourteen day period
new town offices were occupied on
the second floor of the Brewster City
National building; Stillings, most ef-
fcient of corporation counsels, had
secured the new charter; and the
stock hooks of Timanyoni High Line
had been opened, with the Brewster
City National named as the COM
panys depository and official fidu-
ciary agent.
At the dam the building activities
had been generously doubled. An

afford to leave out even one Of them.
The careful housewife will, there
fore, make it a point to select food
stuffs with regard to their nutritive
value.
All persons would not thrive on the
very same food materials, though
they might have ever so high a nu-
tTitive value.
Preference in Foods
Personality enters into the value
of foods in the body. It is a fact food
taken with pleasure is more. easily
and fully digested than that taken
under less favorable conditions.
It is necessary that we should
learn to prepare our foods so they
will prove appetizing as well as of
the greatest possible food value. In
the preparation Of the food the care
full housewife will study the best
methods so the nutrients contained.
in the food may be rendered more
available, and at the same time made
as palatable as possible; nor will she
overlook the manner of serving food
in an attractive manner.

Whenever the housewives atten-
ton is directed toward the selection
of the proper diet for her family she
must necessarily consider, at least,
the four phases of the subject; pTin-
ciples, preparation, proportion and
purpose.
The food must supply to the body
building material, both for, growth
and repair. It must also furnish en-
ergv with which to keep the body
warm and furnish motive power.
If it is to do these things, food TAX
en- into the body must contain those
substances which will furnish the
necessary nutrients for them. A GER
tain amount of our diet must be nj
trogenous in order that our body
may grow and repair its WORKOUT

eggs and cheese together with the
Iegumes deans and peas) and many
of the nuts are rich in nitrogen and
bodybuilding elements.
Energy Makers
Fats and oils are one Of the most
concentrated sources Of energy.
Grains and starchy vegetables, to-
gether with sugar and some Of our
fruits, furnish us a plentiful source
of energy-building products, while
fruits and vegetables contain mineral
matter, flavOring substances, pure
water and bulk.
All of these various principles are

food producing district in the United
States. Its crops are so many and so
varied and mature at such widely sep
arated periods that il can employ prac-
tically the maximum amount OF farm
labor throughout the year. Crop sue
ceeds crop on the same land. Nature
irrigates In winter and man in sum-

oranges. Either in preparation or in
harvest the vast California food fac
tory is always at work. A vast army
of agricultural laborers properly mobll-
lied and using all the available land
could produce in this one state enough
food TO feed all France and have plenty
left for home consumption.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. SIS 1t
because Of It's endless contrasts that
California Is forever fascinating? HUI
man nature has wide range here for
It's love of the sensational. Monterey,
in the latitude of Washington, D. G.,
is warmer in January than in July
San Francisco people leave the city In
the summer-not to get cool. but to get
hot. Imagine New Yorker deliber-
ately going out somewhere TO bake In
an unprotected tent under the July sun
and call it fun! That's exactly what
the San Franciscan wants In summer
And that is exactly what the Saera-
mento man travels 70 San Francisco
only ninety miles-to avoid.
Life cannot be tame where you can
comfortably put on coonskin overcoat
for a stroll through an avenue Of palms.
When you can turn on the steam to be
warm in the city at night and can
spend the next day on your ranch to
the accompaniment Of hot north wind,
driving the temperature up TO ITO, you
can't say that life is monotonous.
Since the war began California has
had equally exhilarating contrasts and
paradoxes in business. In 1914 the
state had everything to sell and no
BUYERS. In 1917 it could almost feed
the world, and everything 1t has, from
abalones to apricots, redwood TO rice,
whales to wheat, is in tremendous de-
mand-but labor Is lacking. The world
clamors for CALIFORNIA; multitudinous
products, but money cannot buy what
labor will not deliver. So the Golden
State fumes and frets and curses in the
presence Of q money-making oppor-
tunity the like of which never was be-
fore and may never be again. The grain
crop was mourned as lost, and then
turns out bumper. The orange crop
gives great promise. and then shrinks
away to % per cent. Responding to
the universal cry for food, all Cali
fornia springs into the collar, the
bountiful gardens and fields produce
with amazing fecundity. and then the
farmer fairly RACES in evaporation be-
cause Of lack of help to garner the
good things that men need as never
before since the age OF worldwide civ
ilization dawned

Not because we don't believe in

Good philosophy, but tho .lums do

must be got through the hot weather.
And everybody knows that the chief
means of helping them through the
hot weather is the Fresh Air vacation.
The Mayors Committee Of Women
on National Defence has completed a
survey of the Fresh Air situation in
New York City and finds that war
charities have resulted in the deple-
ton of funds for this necessary sum-
mer relief work.
In a statement issued recently the
committee cites as an example OF what
has happened this year the case OF the
Warren Goddard House, which usually
maintains a summer camp for some OF
tho children Of the house. For the
support of this work IL has been
customary 10 send out each summer
two appeals, which usually net about
$4,000. This summer the response has
been les sthan $3.50, and, Of course, n
has been impossible TO give the out

The experience OF other organiza-
tions doing Fresh Air work has been
similar. A few organizations have sue
ceeded in securing as much money for
their work as in peace times, but these
find that they cannot provide more than
half as many outings as they are aecus-

Producing Population
Lacks Farm Workers

The trouble with the worlds food
supply Is that the producing population
in the favored agricultural districts
must supply It's own farm laborers,
which means il does not produce TO Its
capacity until II has a population that
consumes to capacity. II California
had as many people as Japan 1t could
easily utilize every possibility oil us
resources-and consume the entlre
product at home. ~
Until the super-machines come the
only possible way in which Cailfornia
can respond adequately TO the worlu )
need is through the human machine
the Oriental laborer.
II approximation OF the holy OF hoIieS
TO saw il, but Chinese coolie labor IS
the thought in the mind of every agrl-
cultural producer in California TO-DAY
and the furtively spoken thought
wherever two or three Of them are
gathered together.
California ousted the Chinaman and
likes him. 1t kicked him out and
wishes il had him back-as an indus
trial visitor. California wants no alien
colonies, but once the crisis were
raised and the labor unions had
thrown their fit over protecting for
themselves the work they can not or
will not do, the state would be very
happy if it had a sort Of revolving
Chinese industrial army of $4,000 or
100, 900 men, with an endless chain OF
coolies coming from and returning to
China.
California reads Of hundred thou
Sandstone say a million-Chinamen
en- route to France on fve-year con-
tracts, and wonders.
Contract labor smells OF blasphemy
in America, but if necessity is the
mother of invention, war is the potent
father of necessities. Driven to the
desperate choice between plenty and
famine, between defeat and victory for
lack of food, America may yet call upon
the almost untapped ocean of Chinese
labor to bring forth the unlimited food
that lies hidden, but unconverted, in
the fecund fields of California.
Wars are weged for victory.

Audiences Sincere
In Their Patriotism

The audiences here are as sincere
and as aforementioned as if they
were listening to missionary ap-
peal from India. One could tell
from the half-pious regard of the
group of village women on the closed
side Of the great tent that they
thought it the right thing to be pa
triotic. And the generous way they
gave to the accompanying Red Cross
collection proved their sincerity.
The Coit-Alber Chautauqua cir
cult also uses the Hon. Francis Neil
son, former Radical leader in the
British House of Commons and au-
thor Of "How Diplomats Make War;"
as a war orator. Nelson is an in
ternationalist, a pacifist and bitter
opponent of Lloyd George, and,
while ne has accepted the American
decision as his own, his line OF talk
is anything but regular in the East.
But it is the most popular material
which the people here receive.
A typical Nelson phrase is this
one:
1.-THE ideals Of democracy are here,
rot in Europe. The people have an
inherent right to choose their rulers.
And they have a right to know what
their diplomats are doing. There is
only one way in which the future Of
Europe can be assured-there must
be United States of Europe. And
the treaty of peace must be written
by the people. Wars are forced by
the secret diplomacy Of European
chancelleries."
Not all is orthodox Washington
sentiment hereabouts among the
Chautauquas, where no party, sect
or endowing patron hampers the free
forum. Much that is regarded with
