ON HEAITH-- SAVE THE VITAMINES
ON HEALTH

Once his interest in Nitamines had been aroused, MT. Mann of Anytown, went more deeply into the subject as do most people when their eyes are opened to modern discoveries.
 He learned that in cooking, much of the value of vitamine C is de- stroyed. Thus raw beets have con- siderable quantities of this vitamine, whereas cooked beets lose great deal in preparation. The same is true of carrots and some other yege- tables which, however, retain other vitamines when cooked. Fresh cab bage contains vitamine C in good quantity
 Thus some uncooked vegetable food, such as carrots, cabbage or onions, should be on the menu to

Why Katie Begged Madge's Aid
 With Mamie

I had struck the right note with Katie.
 I realized this when she voiced her passionate asseyeration that she would go to prison for yun hundred years" rather than have me injured by her foolish action in permitting the girl, Mamie, to hide in our attic the bum dles of costly fur cloaks which I had just discovered. It was q note that l had sounded many times before in my dealings with my little maids diff ficult temperament. and I quickly re- solved to harp upon it now in the emergency that confronted ms.
 Your going to prison wouldn't help me any. Katie" l said impressivey. "The mere fact that these things arc fin my house would put me-not you. only--in great danger. You just tell me the whole truth about this, now, and don't leave anything out.
 Katie gulped her sohs back and faced me with something like des- peration in her eyes.
 "I tell you eferything," she said slowly, then with a rush of passion ate words: But. oh. I not know vot dey do to poor Katie!"
 "Stop that" I said with apparent brutality. for I know that few sec onds more of self-pity would bring to Katie an attack of hysteria,
 She threw up her head as if she had been struck, but she quieted down instantly.
 Neesied-Ten Dollars
 For gif', she said contritely, and then speaking slowly, she began her story:
 "I tell you trut' ahout Mamie talk ing me movies. buying me sodas," she began, but I tell you beeg lie ven I say, Mamie's mudder she not know. She do know, but she no can spik English goot, so Mamie she do taking. She say dey have onele in New York, got fur store, but he have bad partner, try to sheet heem out of eferyting. So oncle tink he beat hee's partner at hee's own game, so he send fur coats here to hide for heem until he can get tings strengthened out.
 But Mamie." sho went on. "she 
 miss tings maybe he send poliss. So she no want tngs in her house, und she say nobody efer tink looking here. Und-und----"
 Katie showed signs Of breaking down again:
 ''She say, like I tell you, she let me buy coat sheep, but dot not dc vurst She gif me ten dollars to keep my mont shut--und spent dot ten--und now vot do l don't know I no dare tell Jeem."
 Even in the face of an ugly prob lem she had brought upon mo, bit back a smile at the optimism I de- tected beneath her self-reproach She knew that in some way l would get her out Of her dilemma, but she did not intend 10 minimize her grief and remorse until the relief had materal- ized.
 To avoid the hysterical ft I dread. ed gave her the assurance she craved first
 T will lend you ten dollars to give back to Mamie," 1 said, 'and you can pay me back a little each week until if is all settled. Tn that way Jim need not know. But" this as severely as I could speak. you have been a very bad girl, Katie, and well, tell me, didn't you suspect those things were stolen when Mamie told you that story?"

 INTERESTING SLEEVES

The scarf sleeve is the interesting feature of this frock and is one that could easily be copied. It consists merely of a length of crepe applied to the under portion of a very short sleeve. The collar on this imported frock fastens in the back and a double girdle keeps the lines very trim about the hips.

CHAPTER V.
 Dorothy's Decision
 Tn the months since she had heard the first news of her husbands death life had moved gracefully In Doro- thy's home in the south. Ivan had tried hard to make her forget her loss, ignoring the camoring public to be with her, heedful of her every wish, showering her with princely at tentions. Meanwhile he wooed her with that incomparable finesse that is the peculiar gift of the eastern peoples.
 He never let her forget his suit one moment in an hour. He played to her, he brought her gifts, priceless but always in perfect taste; curios out of the east, rare works of art from his own ancestral castle in the Urals In her warmer moods he urged i'm mediate marriage, and when she was cool and unresponsive he begged for her promise of future surrender to

Pretty Feature at
Empire Exhibition

Omar Khayyam's "chequer board of
nights and days" is mechanically real
lied in the palace of engineering at
the British empire exhibition, says the
Boston Transcript. A group of model
cottages has been erected in the midst
of rural scenery. Through an ingen-
ious system of automatic illumination
days will come and days will go, In
miniature, throughout the normal day.
The sun will rise. arrive rapidly at
Its zenith, and then the brilliant light
will wane to evening. New lights will
begin to twinkle in the cottages and
the miniature village. AS the dark
ness deepens the street lamps will be
lighted, more will appear in the
houses, and all will burn brightly I'M
til dawn appears again. How many
miniature years these miniature days
will represent when the exhibition
I'M to an end Is n speculation that
will probably interest the mathemati-

Mrs. Archman looked scandalized,
and Bess, evidently fearing that she
had n too far and that Lord George
might later guess her meaning. has
tily swung the conversation back to
what was. after all. the real topic Mt
Issue.
The conversation ended only when
the auto drew up beside the entrance
to the Ontario cocks. where the FL Rio
was being put into shape for her
voyage.
The tide was in and the ga%ngplank
was far from horizontal. Bess ran up
1t hastily and looked about her, Won
dering II by any chance she might
catch sight Of the Adonis whom Nellie
had described. She did not do SO,
however, and before she could look
farther the others had followed her.
A tall man in an officers uniform
was moving about the deck, giving
orders now and then. He saw the
party and stepped forward. Good
morning. Miss Archman." he said, TAX
ing of his cap to Bess.
Bess nodded. Good morning. Mr..

and picked her way forward over the
