THE KIDD0OS' CAFETERIA

Say. it's great! I've been eating in
all kinds Of joints in many large cities
in America from the high-falutin ban
quoting halls in big hotels down 10 low
priced hash houses: have partaken of
all kinds Of fares. tried out many diff
ferent systems of dietetics and so on;
but the delicious food served at our
Llano 'Kiddoos'" Cafeteria has them
all beat hollowI We were led to ex-
pect that it would be raw food prop
osition; but there is nothing raw
about the deal we are getting in that
cafeteria. It's service par excellence
in every respect. | am getting whole
some respect for our highschool boys
and girls who. under the efficient in
struction Of our domestice teachers,
Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Green, can get
up such wonderful menues that delight
the inner man. And practically every
thing that is served is home product,
grown in the Colony's own fields and
garden and emphatically answers the
question whether we can live on our
native resources with decided Yes
Of course. some Of the credit for this
performance of right belongs to our
gardeners. farmers and dairy crew; but
there is glory enough and to spare for
all.
Many good things out of field and
garden are elsewhere very often spoil
ed by poor preparation at the hands Of
careless cooks, but not here. Every
thing tastes so good that one has to
muster his most heroic resolution to
withstand the temptation to overeat.
And, then, everything is served in
such spirit of good fellowship that
ones heart goes out in goodwill to
those ministering to our creature COM
forts. And this kindness Of demeanor
is something that never in all my
born days have found anywhere else
in such profusion as here.

WHY JOHNNY FAILED

Johnny had 4 little mind,
It was his very own;
And nothing could be put in it.
Except by him alone.
Il wasn't very big, It's true,
But there was room inside
For lots Of things, chosen cut
AS Johnny should decide.
Mother and father gave to him
All sorts of good advice,
But Johnny never put it in
Or thought about it twice;
But all the ugly things the boys
Upon the corners said.
Why, Johnny picked them up at once
And put them in his head.
AT school the teacher tried her best
To give him facts and rules
OF every useful sort but no.
Fod Johnny hated schools.
He picked UP brag and vulgar slang,
Dime novels, too, ten deep,
And filled his mind till it was like
A tainted rubbish heap.
So when the day Of manhood came.
When Johnny searched his mind
For skill and power, ii played him false
And nothing could he find
But worthless trash and ugly thoughts.
And SO he failed, aIasI

YOUR II 4 L I II

To any swelling or puffiness OF
part OF the body we give the name
"oedema" or "edema" Usually the
condition Of the oedema is accom-
panied by an increased amount OF
fluid IN the tissues. In a sense, II is
a kind Of drorsy.
There are diseases Of the lungs in
which there is an escape Of fluid
from the blood-vessels into the air
cells.
You will recall the vital por-
tons OF the lungs are The minute
cells 10 which the inspired air pene-
trates. The walls OF these cells con-
tain tiny blood vessels. Both the
walls Of the cells and the blood
vessel walls are so very, very thin
that the OXYGEN OF the air in the
cell passes through into the blood
itself.
Sometimes, however, the process
is reversed, and the fluid OF the
blood escapes into the air-cells Then
we have oedema.
The first step in this process is
congestion. If there be some disease

OF the lung accompanied by marked
increase in its blood supply. there is
the possibility of leakage of fluid
into the air-cells.
Bright's disease, pneumonia, GER
tain forms OF heart disease, preg-
nancy. hardening OF the arteries and
commissions may have oedema Of the
lungs as a symptom.
Were all the air-celIs of the lungs
TO be filled suddenly with fluid as
result OF oedema, death would be as
immediate as II is in drowning. You
can see that the practical effect
would be the same. In one case the
fluid would find it's way through the
mouth into the lungs. and go up to
the air-cells. In complete oedema
the air-cells would be filed with
fluid supplied by the blood.
Fortunately, such serious cases
are not common. Even il the attack
is milo, the symptoms are severe.
First. there is a feeling of tight
ness in the chest and painting for
breath. The difficulty in breathing
increases. Coughing and frothy ex-
pectoration follow. The cough is

ton revealed no finger marks upon

There he commenced an elaborate
search.
His efforts seemed TO meet with no
success, for, shaking his head
