Nadgc's Interview With a Tenacious Visitor

l followed Katie out of the library quietly, but my heart was bonding with excitement at the summons. X stranger in the kitchen meant noth- ing at any ordinary time. but this aft ernoon-I caught my breath as came within vision of the opened kitchen door. and saw standing by the table the Cat-footed man whom Lillian had labeled as detective when we saw him entering the post office.

 He swept of his hat hastily and clumsiy, Good afternoon" he said. i've just bought in with little express business in the village, and I'm around trying to drum up a little trade. If you expect to have any moving, or trunks, or baggage, any time, I'm sur" youl find my prices very reasonable"
 He had lost no time in beginning to trace the movements of the or phaned Harrison children, whom their fathers family were SO anxious to he cure. That was my first apprehcn- siyc thought, followed quickly, how ever, by a more reassuring one. The man was altogether too clumsy in his sleuthing. l felt that I could outNit him myself, even if Lillian were not close at hand, royal aid in any cmer- gencY.

REDUCE OR GAIN. sister Mary Prepares Daily Dictin. Menus For Both

Ar" you trying 10 reduce Or do you want to gain weight?
 Sister Mary. The Herald's cooking expert. offers her assistance. Begin ming today she will furnish you with daily menus-onc for those who seek to reduce weight, another for those desiring 10 gain.
 Knowing how difficult il would be for the housewife to arrange her daily menus on a calorie basis. Sister Mary herself offers to plan the days food for you.
 Resides. she has struck upon d unique idea. II is, planning the menus for stout and lean so much alike-although with differences in caloric contcnt-that th" house wife will have practically no extra foods 10 prepare.
 Today Sister Mary explains the mysteries Of dieting.
 BY SISTER MARY
 The scientific definition for "caloric" reads, tho quantity Of heat required to raise tn" temperature Of oun pound ot water through four degrees Fahr- cnhcit." Briefly "calorie" means heat unil and so many Calories Tn ccr- tain food means SO much heat or so many energy producing units in that food
 So the daily energy requirements of the body are reckoned in calories.
 The foodStufts providing these cal ouicS belong to three groups pro- tins, fats and carbohydrates.
 The function Of protein in the diet is 10 build, make muscle and repair N woruout tissues. Ten to i5 per cent Of the total calorirs in the normal diH should bo Il protein food Eggs, oysters, beef, mutton. lamb some nlts, poultry, fish and mllk are the cheapest and commonest sources Of protein Tines, fuods are rich in pro i"in whit" there are many others claSSod as protein foods containing also fair amount Of fai and carbo- hydraios These combination foods ar" legs valuable as proieins in q rc- dncing di,L
 Heat And Energy
 Iat furnishes energy and heat and literally makes fat in tho body. Too much fat in the diet causes an excess Of fH' in the hody, but enough calorirs pf rai must bc provided 10 spare thc protein from producing energy In ihc normal diet about onr-fonrh or he total number Of calorics for inc day should be fat caiorics Butter cream. salad oils fat meat or fish, yolk Of oggs, rich milk and any dishes made from these foods arr rich in fat.
 Just as oil and fat are combustibin lnd furnish heat. so arr starch and sugar or th, class of foodstuifs known AS carbohydrates. All siarchy foods must be converted into sugar before

Colonel Holes. soldier and adven- turer, returns to England. the land Of his birth, when war is declared with Holland. He comes to lodge with Martha Quinn. hostess of the Paul's Head, in Paul's yard London.
 The colonel writes for an audience with his old friend, His Grace of AL ,bemarle, whom he has not seen for ten years. Albemarle receives the colonel cordially and tells him that real soldiers are greatly needed in the English army.
 Holes offers his services to his country and is warned by His Grace that the name Of Randall Holes. father Of the colonel. is on the war rant for the execution of the late king. Therefore it is dangerous to assign an army commission to the colonel. Albemarle asks Holes to dine with him and Holes accepts.

the body can assimiIate them. The mission Of carbohydrates ip the body is to supply heat and energy. An eX- cess of carbohydrates will produce fat. The normal diet should consist of about two and one half times as much carbohydrate as fat. lf the daily fat calories average $50 the car bohydrate caloriCs should average around 12Si.
 Personal Needs
 In considering the daily food re- uuircmcnts, the season Of the year: eight, height and shape Of each per- son: age. occupation and sex must be regardcd. For instance. woman ordi- narily needs less food than man but if a woman must do her spring clean irg or family washing. on that day she will need more calories of food sIuffs than her husband al work in his office. A young person who is growing needs more Calories a day than one who has "his growth" and requires food only for the normal activities Of the body. By the same token an old person needs and should eat less food than middle-aged active individual.
 Scientist agree that the average person doing the average daily tasks needs around 2500 calories of fat, protein and carbohydrates q day.
 Aside from these calories iron should be present about .015 gram daily, Green veg tables, egg yolk, lecf. molasses, oat meal, figs. prunes, dates. raislns, almonds and chocolate arc rich in this ash constituent

ilfAHIBi l \. Cherry Blossoms

Colonel Holles knelt on the window ss at at the open easement of his par Tor at the Paul's Head. Leaning on the sill. he seemed to contemplate the little sunlit garden with its two cherry trees on which some of those belatcd blossoms fingered still. Cherry blossoms he was contempla- ting. but not those before him. The two trees of this little oasis in the City of London had multiplied them selves into a cherry orchard set in Devon and in thc years that were gone beyond retaining.
 Mrs. Quinn's few perches of gar den had dissolved into an acre of sun lit Towering orchard. Above the trees in the background to the right a spire thrust up into the blue, sur mounted by . weather-vane in the shape Of fsh-which he vaguely knew to be an emblem of Christian ity. Through a gap on the let he beheld a wall, ivy-clad, crumbIIng at it's summit.

Hallowell citizens were shocked
Friday morning to learn of tie sui
eide by hanging of Mrs. Ella "

has been a resident of this city. She
was rs years old and for some time
past had been a sufferer from an in
durable and exceedingly painful dir
ease. Neighbors who knew her ga =
that several times of ate she had
made some reference to the possibil-
ity of terminating her sufferings her
self. The act was definitely premed-
itated. She left written direction TO
cousin by marriage in augusta
concerning her wishes n the matter
OF burial and even had the clothes
IN which she desired 70 be dressed
for the grave laid out neatly on the
bed and marked. She left also a
note to the Anesburv-whita Co.
Gardiner. desiring sthein to arrange
for her funeral.
Mrs. Jones vas found about 6 o.
