 When they came to the slope of the bench, or terrace, Vandervyn noticed the intent look of his companion, and inquired: "Well, what do you think of it? Talk about Siberian exile! That is the Dupont place over here."
 Hardy glanced at the large double. cabin hundred yards off to the right of the road. The broad front porch, gave 1t homelike appearance. The two cabins before him were very small Beyond them stood the big agency warehouse. It's overhanging upper story showed that it had been built for, use as a blockhouse, but the many. windows had rendered it less defens- ible than one of the cabins. The only persons in sight were the two. Indian police who had been left in charge by Redbear.
 "Well?" repeated Vandervyn-
 "Not an easy place to defend" said Hardy. "Where is the office and the guardhouseT"

 Coasting seems to make a good sport for the school. The professor has let the boys with sleds coast on the west side of the school yard in the street and the girls coast on the east side in the street. Pupils with out sleds have to stay on the school grounds, so there is no danger of getting hurt.
 Riola Phillips, a freshman, who had been spending the last week in Los Angeles, re- turned to school Monday morn ing.

of the weedy parts is to stimulate the
walls of the intestines and distend
them so that they will contract and
have more normal motion. The func-
| ton of the liquid is to carry its Pc
culiar mineral salts and water into
the blood to refresh, invigorate and
cleanse it.
If we cook vegetables in such way
as to throw aside and waste the min
eral salts or liquid part Of the vege-
tables, we are not only wasting half
our money, but losing, the most waltz
able part For instance, to boil sweet,
new carrots in such an amount of
water that they have to be drained,
and this water thrown away, deprives
the human body of the most valuable
part; sink needs no mineral salts,
but human bodies do-especiaily in
the spring. y
That is why as many vegetables as
possible should be eaten raw. Carrots,
radishes, onions, dandelions, cabbage,
turnips are all better raw than cooked.
If we must cook them, let US save
the water, either to be used as
sauce or saved for soup.
Children should be taught to eat
lettuce and raw vegetables, and men
must be gently but firmly trained to
acquire the salad habit.--Mrs. Chris
tine Frederick in Philadelphia Ledger.

LITTLE TOT SAVED y
WHEN AUTOS CRASH
Mother Throws Her Child
from Machine Onto Park
way Before Collision
Injuries Occupants.

Esther, 18-month-old daughter of
Mrs. Bessie Silverman, 2114 Bur-
dette, street, probably owes her life
to the fact that her mother threw
her out Of rapidly moving auto
mobile.
Last evening Mrs. Silverman and
daughter, Esther, and Abe Minkin,
22l0 North Nineteenth street, rela-
tive, were in an automobile driven by
Sam Kaplan of the same address.
The car was going south on Twen-
ty-fourth street and Kaplan was just
on the point of turning west on De-
catur when a high-powered touring
car, occupied by two colored boys
and which had been stolen earlier
in the evening, crashed into the fiv-
yer.
Mrs. Silverman, seeing that the
crash was inevitable, barely had time
to throw her daughter, who was in
her arms. to one side of the paved
street. The child was uninjured, al
though the rest of the occupants of
the car were badly shaken up and re-
ceived minor cuts. Both cars were
damaged.
Following the accident the negroes
jumped from their car and disap-
peared in the darkness.

Natures Spring Tonic

Yes. that's what you need. You are
tired, your back hurts, your head
feels dizzy; you don't want to go to
school; you feel like soldering on the
job; you wish you.could have a vaca-
ton like the boss; and all Of US have
a lot Of other feelings, characterized
as spring fever.
But where shall we get this tonic?
In bottle at 70 cents at the cut-rate
store? Well, hardly! If we analyze
such bottle of commercial tonic we
probably find that it is made of dande-
lion greens or a few other simple
herbs with water and a large per cent
of alcohol. Dame Nature is the Oldest
doctor living. For thousands of years
she has studied the human race and
knows just what it should have. So
with bounteous hand she has prepared
in the spring such foods as are in
themselves tones. What do we see
on the market stalls or in the
meadows? Radishes, lettuce, dande-
lion, new spinach, onions and later
asparagus, carrots and new cabbage.
All these are fresh, crisp, with tang
and zip. That little zest in the
radish, that's what we needl That
bitter sour in the dandelion is what
our blood is longing for. That deli
couis, zestful favor Of asparagus or
spinach is what our poor, old, tried
system is waiting for. Our spring
tonic is on the vegetable stands.
Although we have to pay more this
year, owing to the high prices pre-
valent, it will be worth while to invest
as much as we can in vegetables.
They are the brooms of the system.
They, with their coarse celluloids and
bulk, sweep down the alimentary
canal, all the passages, carrying off
the waste accumulated by winters
heavier Diet and more combining
habits. Spring is come. Our bodies
need housekeeping. They need to be
swept, secured, washed and scrubbed
by Natures cleanser--a bunch OF
radishes or peck OF spinach.
