John Heiskenen, the Public Utilities
commission states that it cannot fall
to conclude that proper iegard

resulted in precautions obviating this
distressing accident.
John Heiskenen, aged 90 Years, Of
Rockland, was in the employ Of the
Camden and Rockland Water Com

in the digging OF trench in which
was to be laid an eight-inch water
main on Maverick street in hat
city," continues the decision of the
commission.
1T was necessary to blast through
rock for the construction of the
trench for a considerable distance.
Two holes had been drilled in the
ledge and dynamite placed therein
by the superintendent of the Camden
and Rockland Water Company, -1r.
McAlary, ul-der whose immediate

IAN electric battery come tted
with the percussion caps was a Part

blast was set off 1t was supposed that
all the dynamite involved in that
particular blasting operation hid

Fairy Tale
THE DOLLS TRUNK
81 NARY GRAHAM BONNER

Probably Allie Baa, the rag doll,
would never be invited to go away on
any trips where her mother was not
invited
But at the same time it was very
nice for her to have q trunk.
She had been given the trunk, or
rather it had been given to her mother
for her, on her mothers fifth birthday.
1t was a beautiful trunk, strong and
of good size
1t had a tray in 1t, tOO and in the
top there was q little pocket in which
could be put pictures and pressed flow
ers and other little odds and ends to
be saved carefully
Allie Baa would go away when her
mother went away but at such times
Allies things were packed with those
Of her mothers and they had always
said an extra little trunk, such as AL
lie now had, was more useful at home.
At home one kept all ones things.
When one went away on a visit or
for a trip only a few things were
taken along.
Then Allie would never be invited
to go off by herself where she would
have to take her own trunk.
She couldn't travel alone or get
along alone, even though she was SO
smart. OF course as she was a rag
doll it was hard to do a number Of
things, such as travelling alone.
She couldn't walk without her moth
ers help even though she was almost
her mothers age.
Nor would she ever be able to tell
the conductor where she was going.
Nor would she be able to ask all
the important questions that Allies

mothers mother asked when she went
travelling
She used to say:
what time is the train leaving?"
And
''How long does it take to get
there?" And
DO we make many stops?" And
''Is there dining-car on the train?'
And
"Will I have time to get my little
girl q glass of milk before the train
starts, do you suppose?" And
"Are there plenty Of seats, do you
know?"
OF course it would not be neces-
sary for Allie to ask about getting
her little girl glass of milk as Allie
didn't have q little girl-she was a
doll child and not a mother. She
wasn't even a little girl-mOther.
Allie could, to be sure, hold her tick
ct in the pocket of her sailor blouse
and the conductor could come along
and take it out and punch it, just as
her mother had seen the conductor do
to tickets sticking out of mems hats.
They had gone on reading their pa
pers and their tickets had been
punched just the same.
But still, even though in some ways
Allie was capable of travelling alone,
there were too many difficulties.
SO it was always best for Allie to
travel with her mother and maybe it
was best for Allie to pack her party
clothes with those of her mothers and
grandmother's.
Yet it was useful for Allie to have
a trunk. She could keep all her pos
sessions in fittings which she
wouldn't want to take travelling but
which she would want to keep.
Oh, there were so many Of these,
and some of them belonged to Allie
and her mother together.
There were the scrap books. In
these there were many pictures of AL
lie sitting alone and with the other
dolls, being held by her mother, or
pictures cut Out WHICH ndU looked
something like Allie.
And there were poems and letters
and valentines and Christmas cards
In the scrap books.
Oh, the trunk held so much! All
the special treasures Of Allie and of
her mother it held.
What more could be expected of a
trunk? Even trunk used for travel
ing was not any more important than
a trunk which was filed with dear.

On the other hand, q species can be
strengthened by better diet. Japanese
children born in this country are uni

the same age in Japan, where there
Is practically no milk supply. Milk is
always a great factor in producing
physical size and strength. The vigOr
of pastoral peoples is we'll known.
In the high pasture lands of central
Asia the Aryans and MongOls devel-
oped. There, in a climate Of extreme
heat cold and drought, originated the
viriIe people who have conquered eli
mate and soil in every direction more
favorable to easy existence. Abstemi-
Gus nOmadS, who knew no indulgence
and were every year brought face to
face with the disaster Of scanty rain
fall, they left their homes In wave
after wave and dispOssessed their
ne1ghbOrs in more fortunate lands The
Arabs who are q direct survival Of
the early Aryan tribes, are we'll devel-
Oped, athletic courageous In caring
for their flOcks under trying cOndi-
tiOns. Their cupbOards contain meat,
cereal and dates, but chiefly they live
upon sOured milk-goats' and camels'
milk in the form of cheese and dried
curds
The Cossacks, too, who are noted
for their Drawn, eat a great many
dried curds From such facts Doctor
McCollum is led to generalize: "Wher-
ever dairy animals are abundant in
proportion to the population, fine
physical development is seen." Fine
mental development does not always
accompany 1t, we must add. For the
Kaffirs Of South Africa, drinking quan-
titles Of milk, are perfect milksops,
while China, entirely without dairy
products, built up one Of the greatest
civilizations the world has ever known.
p
1t Is hard to say just what foods will
accelerate the mind, but 1t Is perfectly
easy to tell what will clog mental and
physical activity-notably, too much
meat and too few vegetables. In some
ways a strictly carnivOrous diet Is
good, illustrated by the Lapps, who
live almost wholly on reindeer herds
and fish. They are a short, heavily
made people, Of good body develop
ment and great endurance. SO were
the primitive EskimOs, who, subsist-
ing also on a carnivorous diet, did not
even have a word for toothache in
their language until seventy-fve years
ago. But these people have the same
reluctance as carnivorous animals to
exerting themselves. Like the we'll
fed lion or tiger, they are lethargic
and remain Idle as much as possible
They work only when hunger makes
them, and they never think, except un-
der strong pressure. Doctor Grenfel

Surgical Pencil

Among the most interesting pencils
made Is one intended for the use of
surgeons For marking outlines or
divisions on the surface of patients
body before performing an operation
the use Of the pencil is sometimes
necessary, and, as the ordinary pencil
Is useless, a special one is made which

states that the Eskimo is q poor fish
erman, and will catch only one fish
to a white mans ten. This Is attrib-
utable in part to intoxication from poi
sons of bacterial origin, due to putre-
faction of proteins in the intestine.
The meats of Industrial nations, 1t
is true, are very different from those
Of carnivorOus people. The latter
eat all the flesh Of an animal, and
the marrow and the vitals as well,
whereas our meats consist chiefly
Of scle-cuts-steaks, chops, joints,
etc. But in either case, excess pro-
duces lethargy. Consider those Brit.
ishers who live upon mutton and black
pudding, and know the reason for their
stolidity.
1t used to be supposed that meat
was what made a man red-bloOded
and prizefghters were fed raw beef.
steak to make them doubly ferocious
Now we know better. Green vege
tables, once considered harmless, ap-
feet. We hear how the Turks will
arise from a meal Of cucumbers, and
go out to massacre Armenians. The
vegetarian, after all, is the man to be
feared; and we feel how fortunate 1t
Is that no people is strictly vegetari-
an, in the sense that certain animals
are.
Since food can so affect the behavior
of races and persons, 1t follows that
control over q mans diet means con-
troll over his conduct. Prison authori-
ties have always known this. They
feed the convicts saltpeter, which, as
the exact opposite Of an aphrOdisiac,
keeps down riots in the jails. This
offers an interesting suggestion to
housewives who have not yet discov-
cred that the hand that fills the larder
is the hand that rules the world. In
the kitchen, the mother of a family
has a power for good and evil which
she hardly suspects. But If she win
only select three wise, well-mixed
meals a day, she may expect that the
home fires will not fail.

body and conditions the
growth Of the mind BY means Of
proper victuals the blood maintains
its neutrality, the heart its regular
beat, the nerves and muscles their
ready response to every impulse. The
dyspeptic has always been remarkable
for his jaundiced temper and erratic
ways; the anemtc man marked by his
lack Of virility. Chronic indigestion
means chronic mental depression, ac-
cording to Doctor McCollum, author of
"The Newer knowledge Of Nutrition"
and he goes on to say: Intolerance
tends to develop in those who are con-
tinually in low spirits, and there can
be no reasonable doubt that the diet
may deviate In the United States to
a degree which can easily cause the
results we see."
However much you may feel that
your appetites determine what you
shall eat, there is ultimately very little
free will for most of the world In the
choice of food Most men are born to
a certain bill Of fare just as they are
born to their racial environment. For
the average man his diet, like his re-
1g1On, Is largely matter Of tribal
custom, and 1t persists more strongly
than his hereditary Ideas about God
1t is as inescapable as childhood men,
Ories. 1t lasts through his life, even
though he wander far from home. SThe
BOstOnian who has resided in the Mid
die West for the last thirty years still
cherishes an attachment for the beans
and brown bread the clans and the
clam chOwder Of his childhood.
At home you must dine according
to the family customs; in Rome you
must eat as the Romans do. The cui-
sine Of every one is unconsciously linn
tied by the community he lives in
People eat what their neighbors eat,
and will continue to do so whether the
effects are good or bad. 1t becomes
almost a matter Of self-respect This
was illustrated in the recent epidemic
Of beri-beri in southern China, where
the coolies continued to demand pol
tshed instead Of unpublished rice, even
after the former was shown to be the
cause Of the disease. The poorest
Cinnamon, who ate little else, took
pride in the fact that at least their
rice was as white as their neighbors',
and stubbornly refused the safe, I'M
polished article.
Since the nations differ as widely
in temperament as In fare, one natu-
rally wonders what effect a national
diet has upon its consumers. Is the
character Of John Bull nodded by the
mutton he eats? Does the fierce lit
tie chill which Mexicans love incite
to revolution? 1t seems plausible
enough that d diet Of "black pepper
favored with red pepper" should make
for hot temper that the slow, unspiced
dishes Of Scandinavia should produce
the pblegmatic Swede. 1t is common
scandal that the Germans eat five
meals a day, with the result that they

MIR. and Mrs. Watts
Honor Bridal Couple

The eliminating affair for all the
beautiful social events honoring the
marriage of Miss Elizabeth McCarty
and Mr.. Venable Anderson, was the
buffet supper given by Mr.. and Mrs.
C. B. Watts at the Country Club. on
Monday night.
All the participants in the wedding
party and program and including the
parents of the many pretty little chill
dren who had part in the ceremony.
and those of the out-of-town guests
who had arrived in the city enjoyed
this delightful social gathering. A
glowing fire and a profusion of flow
ers afforded pleasing background for
decorations in the spacious club room
a scene of lively enjoyment. A
brides table with enblematic features
and overhung with a lovely wedding
bell was a conspicuous adornment.
Music was provided throughout the
evening and a delicious salad plate
with coffee and cream was served by
the hostess assisted by Misses Lucy
Bell Nelson, Emily Laboon, Mrs.
Frank Ward, Mrs. Frank Dunn, of
Morgan, and Mrs. J. N. Wooten, or
Sheltman.
