THE RAMBLIN' KID BY Earl Way

Merrill
Another Young Lochinvar has
come out of the West, in the per
son of the Ramblin' Kid, reckless,
sombre, breaker of wild horses
and of womens hearts. All the ele-
ments of the usual wild west
story are contained in the book.
There are the usual quota of cow
punchers. reckless and big heart
ed. and the bachelor ranch owner,
a rough diamond who needs only
the touch of a woman's influence to
blossom forth as the fiery irresist
able lover. There are also two fair
maids from the East. bad man
a foreigner this time instead of the
conventional bad man of Western
stories-the usual knight-errant
COW puncher. and my lady's gafter.
The motif of this rollicking yarn
might well be "Honi soft vi NAL
pense,' inasmuch as the only vio-
lence arises from a misinterppeta-
tion placed on the Ramblin' Kids
possession of the garter. This Ram
lin Kid is likeable young fellow.
even though he rather shocks ones
preconceived notions OF the wild
west hero. Confronted with the ne
cessity for defending the fair fame
Of beautiful maid. he forgets that
he wears at his hip the deadly six
shooter, and has recourse to fists and
heels. This absence OF gun play in
western story is an unforgivable
lapse on the part of the author.

ceptions People who go through
the winter fairly well are often de-
cidedly upset as to their digestion

to provide meals more inc keeping
with the season. makes the change
too suddenly. Then again. many
believe that in summer one does not
need substantial food just because
the weather is warm.
Winter or summer. the processes
OF the body go on just the same.
The body still heeds the kinds OF
food that build and repair II. II stu
needs the foods that give II the
strength to do work. while IL may
not need quite as much OF the foods
that give heat
We save the expression, heavy
food" for heat-giving foods like
roast pork and rich pies, but some
OF us do not realize that an ice
cream sundae or an ice cream soda
is likewise a heavy food. 1t, too,
contains considerable fat. We de-
ceive ourselves as to the heaviness
of ice cream simply because 1t 10
served very cold.
A woman on q dining car chas-
tised her small incorrigibh the
other day because the latter tried
to eat the atom OF butter for which,
accompanied by small slice or two

She said IL was entirely too warm
for him to think of eating a lump
of butter. but l NOTED she allowed

Great care should be taken that
the children continue to get milk
and eggs and meat and fish and
good bread and fruits and vege-
tables. They continue to grow no
matter the weather if they have
the proper kind of food. 1t is wise
to serve smaller portions and 10
try to make the serving as attrac-
tive as possible.
BY all means drink water, but
have 1t cool and not ice cold. Drink

Most of us have to slacken our
speed in summer whether we VIII
or no. We do not do so much
work as during the colder season.
Consequently VIC can get along on
less food. But we should reduce
the portions gradually. the kind
and temperature at which the food
Is served should be gradually
changed. and we shall go through
the torrid days with a minimum tof

say about sowing clover this spring.

Der thai once when the Queen of
France demanded something absolute
~ new in a frOck the dressmakcr re-
piled, "There is nothing new-except
what has been forgotten" Maybe the
forage crop specialist of the United
States Department Of Agriculture had
just that thought in mind when he
made the statement just quoted Far
mers have been drifting away from
clover. Apparently, some Of them
have forgotten the old truth that
clover is the most important crop
for keeping the land productive, and
the clover story needs to be told again.
Crops demand soil, containing
four things-organic matter, nitrogen,
potash, phosphoric acid.
OF these four essential things, clov-
or supplies two, organic matter and
nitrogen. 1t can not add phosphorus
or potash, but it can return what il
taxes out. The most important poin
IS that clover IN the crop rotation will
supply the nitrogen or most Of it.
