Work, according to my feeling, is
as much of necessity to a man as
eating and sleeping. Even those who
do nothing which to q sensible man
can be called work, still imagine that
they are doing something. The world

Declares Watercress
Rich in Food Value

Portsmouth, Observation-Disclosures
as a sidedlsh for lunch is well known
in most households, but few people
eating 1t were aware that it n
tanned all the essential vitamines, un-
I'll this fact was stated by Or. Harold
EcurfeId at a medical association
meeting recently, advocating a more
extensive use Of the vegetable. He
said the Greeks regarded it as food
for the mind, while today it was re-
Rarded as a stimulant for the body.
This recalls a favorite experiment
Of Prot. Vivian B. Lewis, explosive
expert. When lecturing he used to
ell a glass Jar with watercress, take 1t
to Greenwich hospital and leave it on
the roof in the suns rays. The next
week 1t would be brought back to the
lecture room, the cover removed, and
a light placed near the opening, with
the result that q deafening explosion
occurred. This proved, according to
the professor. that watercress was
composed Of pure oxygen, and was,
therefore, very beneficial to the hui
man system.

Trial Solves Mystery
of Russ Editors Death

s.So1a.-Publfc opinion in Bulgaria,
which was aroused last year by the as
sassInation of Mr.. Ageyen, a Russian
emigre who passed to the Bolsheviki
and wal the chief editor of Novaia
Rossia, a pro-Bolshevigt Russian daily
In Sofia, has finally been satisfied by
the discovery Of the murderers. The
Btambulisky government suspected a
group Of Russian emigre officers Of
having committed the crime last No
vember and they have since been kept
In prison. AT their trial, which took
place recently in Sofa, however, they
were acquitted, and evidence leading to
the real slayers was found. 1t became
knewn that Mr.. Ageyef's friendship
With the Bolsheviki was fictitious and
NAT he acted as Kerensky's secret
agent, spying on the Bolshevih In Bull
@aria until they became aware of his
gCAe and organized his assassination.
Ehe same role was played by General
Pokrovsky, who was also assassinated
IT the same time with Ageyeff.

the bending birch dipped into the wa
ter.
The birch was in fun foliage, and at
Arst ne could see nothing but an emp
ty boss, which appeared to be moored
to The tree, while al the while from
somewhere out of sight a shrill voice,
tremulous with fear, was crying,
*HeIp, help, help!"
Betty, where are your shouted
Dir. Brown, for at the first glance he
had recognized the boat as his own,
while the voice could only belong to
his eldest daughter.
he thought the children must have
let the boat get adrift, and Betty was
crying out in fear that it would slip
from under the birch and get smashed
TO pieces in the rapids.
We are here in the water and l am
holding Lotus up" cried Betty, in
~quayering that thrilled with ~gIadness
because her father had come.
Down the bank scrambled the doc
tor. and, hanging on to the swaying,
bonding stem of the birch, he
struggled through the mass of twigs
and foliage until he reached LOTUS,
whom Betty was holding up among
the branches,
4 viii take him first and come back
for you. Can you hold out?" asked
the doctor, In sharp professional
tones.
Yes" replied Betty promptly, but
her voice was dull and faint, for the
water was very cold, and she was
d~readfully tired too.
Getting Lotus ashore was more of
a struggle than the doctor had bar
gained for. and it was only after a
great effort that he succeeded in haul
ing the boy upon the bank. Then he
discovered the cause Of the difficulty.
Wrapped round Loftus's arm, and en-
tangled In his legs, was a fishing
line, and to the end of the line was
booked a huge salmon, which still
struggled.
What a monster!" exclaimed the
doctor, and, dragging it out of the
water, he gave it a heavy blow by
way Of quietus then went back to lift
Betty from the water, who, having no
fish clinging to her, was much easier
to move.
@Can you walk. or will you stay
here until have carried Lotus

stripped the boys wet. garments OFF
and rubbed him until he showed signs
Of returning life, then wrapped him in
his own coat,

she attempted to stand her legs
wobbled SO badly that she had to sit
down.
just then Pierre Dubois showed in
sight, at the far side of the field. The
doctor summoned him with a shout.
then babe him carry Betty home.
while he took Lotus.
Pierre, who was a French Canadian
and very excitable, screamed in
amazement at sight of the enormous
fish; butBetty was too tired to answer
his many questions about it's capture.
and was<only mildly interested later
when she was told that it weighed %
pounds.
Lotus was all right in a couple of
days, but it was a week before Betty
was able to leave her bed.
She found it delightful to have
Lotus treating her with a respect he
had never shown before. But what
pleased her most was when he said,
with hearty admiration, "You are just
avfuty piucky. Betty-for a grill"
