Game That

for Milo
By H. LOUIS RAYBoLD

90. 1874. Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
When Selden V. Paige sent his only
son to college, he did so with high
hopes that were not, however, con-
cerned with scholastic achievement.
He himself had been a popular grid
Iron star, and he cherished fond am
bition that Milo would develop SIM
liar bent. To be sure there had been
no signs along the way indicative OF
such leanings. Leadership of his prep
school debating society and appoint
ment as class valedictorian did not
necessarily imply a capacity for ex-
pert tackling or 90-yard runs.
Therefore, having dropped In on his
son expectedly shortly after his en-
trance to his own alma mater, Paige
was perhaps unjustifiably disappointed
that Milo had not even tried out for
the freshman team.
'You know my wishes in this mat
ter" lie fumed Heaven knows I've
brought you up with the football idea.
Football is the finest"
Milo, sprawled disrespectfully on a
couch, held up a deprecating hand
Don't get started, dad. Don't get
started I'll grant you nave Il foot

to my own inhibitions. Say, have you
read that last poem by"
1t was his fathers turn to inter-
rupt. Poem? Poem? Do look like
a man that reads poems? And what's
the matter with your eyes? l detest
those black goggles!'
Milo touched them affectionately.
"They add distinction, dad. I'm sorry
not to attain your ideal of colleglan,
but just at present l am much more
interested in 'yers libres' than in the
vaunted pigskin."
Paige rose. glanced at his son,
grabbed his hat from the table, and
stalked to the door. In the act of
passing out, he paused, turned, and
flung back a few last words. "Re-
nounce football If you like. Wear a
contraption on your face that hides
what little individuality you have.
Even go out for Phi Beta Kappa. But
for the love of heaven, don't go to the
dogs on poetry!" The door slammed
The battle between father and son
waged intermittently for the next
three years. The older man made no
effort to conceal the fact that he was
keenly disappointed in his son, while
the younger one withdrew into a pro-
tective reserve and never made con-
fidant of his father, or attempted to
win him over.
The autumn Of his sons last year,
Paige made point Of running down
for each weekend game, but made
no effort to obtain his sons company
to the field. Occasionally, however,
he went around afterwards and bored
him to death, rehashing plays and mis-

factor in proper nutrition.
The vltamines which are classified
as A, B, G and D. are contained in
milk and leaf vegetables. particularly
the leaf vegetables or those the leaves
of which are food articles. 1t Is also
known that the vitamine content and
value is greater when they are eaten
raw.
The A vitamine Is promoter Of

causes of malnutrition, particularly in
children who are backward in growth
and subject to various ailments. Yege-
tables furnishing this element are
string beans. cabbages, carrots, corn.

green peas, spinach md tomatoes.
The B vitamine is important In that
its absence from the diet induces stom-

cooked vegetables "a well as raw,
beans, beets, cooked cabbage, carrots,

Vitamine G has considerable to do
with the temper. Its absence leads to

to scurvy. Cabbage and the cooked
