 What is this news?"
 Recalled to it thus, the gravity of the news itself thrust out the other matter from her mind.
 That the plague has broken out in the City itself--in house in Bear binder Lane. It was brought by Frenchman from Long Acre, where he lived. and which he left upon find ing the pestilence to be growing in his neighborhood Yet it seems he was already taken with the disease, which now the wretch has brought to our threshold, as it were, without benefit to himself"
 The Colonel thought of Tucker and his scaremongering emissaries.
 Perhaps it is not true" said he.
 Aye, but it is. Beyond a doubt. It was put about by preacher rogue from the steps of Paul's today. At first folks did not beleive him. But they went to Bearbinder Lane, and there found the house shut up, and guarded by command of my Lord Mayor. And they do say that Sir John Lawrence is gone to Whitehall to take order about this, to concert measures for staying the spread of the pestience: they are to close play houses and all other places where people come together, which will likely mean that they will be closing tayerns and eating houses.

REGIN HERE TO-DAY

Colonel Holes. soldier and adyen- 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 Pauls Head, in Paul's Yard London.
 The colonel asks his old friend His Grace of Afbemarle. to secure for him a place in the army Abe marie warns him that the name of Randall Holes, father of the colonel. is on the warrant for the execution Of the late king Therefore it is dangerous for the colonel to secure a commission.
 Holes meets q friend named Tucker on the street A street preacher is loudly amenting the rapid spread of the pestilence. Holes goes to Fuckers home and is asked to enter a conspiracy to overthrow the government. Holes promises to think over the proposition.
New Britain herald., 1924-02-13

what should do iH that case ?''
 Nay. nay" Holes comforted her.
 'lt will hardly come 10 that, Men
 must eat and drink or they starye, and that's as bad as the pestilcnce.
 TO be sure it is. But theyll never think of that in their zeal and their sudden Roiliness---for theyll be in muck-sweat Q rodiiness now that they see what visitation has been brought upon us by the vices Of the Court. And this to happen at such q time. with the Dutch fleet, as they say. about to attack the coast z"
 She railed on. Disturbed ou, of hrr salf -rentered existence into a con- sidnration Of thc worlds Ills now that she found herself menaced by ihrm, shc displayed prodigious youbility upon topics that hitherto she had completely ignored.
 And inc substance Of her news was true enough. The Lord Mayor was at that very moment al Whitehall urging immediate and drastic meas urus for combating the spread oC the pesticncc, and one Of these measures was the instant closing Of the play houses. MhitchalIs mind al the moment was over-full Of other mat icrs: there were these rumors that the Dutch fleet was out. and that was quite sufficient to engage such time and attention as could be spared from pleasure by tho nations elect. follow- ing in the footsteps Of their pleasure loving King. Also good many of Inc nations elect were exercised al the time by personal grievances in connection with the fleet and the war. Or these perhaps inc most disgruntled was His Grace Of Buckingham.
 TIc had requested tho command Of a ship. q position to which his rank and his talents fully entitled him. in his own view. That such request would he refused had never entered his calculations. But refused it was. There were two factors working against him. The first vas that the Duke Of York cordially disliked him and neglected no chance Of moTtify- ing him: the second was that the Duke Of York. being Lord Admiral of the Fleet. desired to take no risks. There were many good positions from W AiN-N AdHablf AidAhi lAAtil NObiu bt excluded 10 make way for sprigs of the mobility. But the command Of n man-of-aar was not one of these. was offered a gtn-brig. Considering that the offer came from the kings brother, he could moi re- sent fl in fine terms his hot blood prompted. But what he could do to mark his scorn. he did. He refused the guH-brig. and enlisted as a yolun- tecr aboard 6 flagship. But here at once a fresh complication arost As a pfiry councillor be claimed the ' ght of seat and voice in all coun- oils Of war. in which capacity it is probable he might have done even more damage than in command or one of the great ships. Again the Duke of Works opposition foiled hitn. s lereupon in rage he posted from Portsmouth 10 Whitehall to lay his piaint before his crony the King. The Merry Monarch may have waver- d. t may have vexeJ him not to be ahie 10 satisfy thc handsome rake g5O understood so well the arts or Ioosening laughter but between his own brother and Buckingham there ran have been no choice. And so Charles could not help him.

 FOOD COST

There is no more important relation among the many conditions and items which make for healthy, strong body than proper food and proper eating habits. When the righ kinds of food are supplied to the body and di- gestive processes are normal in their functioning, all the various clements and chemical combinations which make up the body perform their ac- tivities naturally and the energy and strength necessary for robust health are produced.
 But there is such a vast difference in the quality and quantity Of food, according to the state of poverty or riches in which a family or individual is situated. that health is often mere matter Of money.
 The average individual must take the proper amount of proteids. fats and carbohydrates as daily food in order to have healthy growth and renewal If excessive amounts Of any of the three classes are taken. or if the amount of one is deficient, it will not he long before the health will be injured and bodily resistance lowered. But only a certain part Of our vast population choose their food wisely or well. l am not so sure but that the poorer classes might be far healthier than their more fortunate brothers If the knowledge Of how to purchase The right kind ot food conld be given them.
 No matter how poor one may ba, it is unwise to sase in food eApundt- ture at the expense Of lealih What food for family of five should cost q week may be averaged according to the family income. The amount in many schedules that different cities and civic bodies have given ont varies from sS.26 10 sla.SG. Tho cost or foods is one way of determining what the dortor's bill for an average fnmily may be.
 It is good advicn that good health largely depends on good food. Good food in this instance being n wise se- lection Of the different claEsrs. not forgetting tho vegetables and scsc- table oils.
