Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
By DIR. MORRIS FISHDEIN Editor Jorunal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine

Since the feeding of human bein gs has become the new science Of di- etctics, all sorts of information is being offered to the public that has hardly yet begun to realize that some things are only theory, where as others have been proved. Some Of the worst bilge that has appear ed comes from urenlightened health faddists who have never even studied the basic facts of chemistry, physi- oloy and biology on which the science of dietetics rests.
 Thus one item recently published asserts that asparagus may be used as a test of the kidney function. that it aids to control the beat of the heart, that if is a nerve scda- tive, and that it stimulates the kid neys and will help Bright's disease. This is on a par with the notion that fish and celery are brain foods.
 Science Refutes Idea
 Actually there is not the slightest reason for believing that asparagus will do any of these things and the recognition of the odor of some of the by.products of asparagus in the eHcretions is not a test of kidney function any further than to show that the kidneys are there and that they do function.
 Asparagus is of course an excel lent vegetable for many purposes in the diet. It may be used as the bas sis of soups and fits well into salads. Twenty large stalks of as- paragus eight inches long provide 100 calaries. They will weigh about lG ounces. About 32 per cent Of the amount of solid matter will be pro tein, s per cent will be fat and 60 per cent carbohydrate. Asparagus has been used as a food for at least o,000 years. More than twelve mil

was not poised enough 10 con ceal my stares ot astonishment al Philip Veritzen's exclamation Of the blind young idiot" when I told him that Noel had paid no at tention to Miss Lincoln whatever, preferring Mary Harrison. But my employer patently cared nothing for anyone's opinion but his own. For a minute or two longer he looked steadily at me, but I knew that he really was not seeing me at all, and his fingers kept up their tattoo against the palm of his other hand. suddenly, however, he strengthened his body, stopped the tapping of his fingers and abruptly rose from his chair. becoming in an instant the suave, courteous gentleman of all my previous experience with him.
 T must beg your pardon for my delay in answering you" he said. By all means assure my young cub that I have no objection to meeting him at dinner. Tell him l shall greet him as If we were in the habit of meeting every day, and I shall expect the same hypocrisy from him. He, or course. will un- derstand that the meeting will not alter our relations
 For an instant I had the undigni- fed wish to box my employers well-formcd ears Then the reali- zation that l had succeeded in the thing I had set out to do came 10 me and I smothered my anger be- meath cushion Of platitudes.
 T am sure he will do exactly as you wish" I said, and l want to thank you so much for your de cision."

Markham turned on him with considerable warmth.
 Docs it mean nothing in the way of evidence, even to your lay mans mind, that a woman's intl- mate and necessary articles, which she has carried throughout the eve ming, are found in her escorts quarters the following morning."
 "In admitting that it does not" ," Vance acknowledged quietly, T no doubt expose legal perception lamentably inefficient"
 "But since the lady certainly wouldn't have carried these par ticular objects during the after noon. and since she couldn't have called at the house that evening during Bcnson's absence without the house keeper knowing if, how, may one ask, did these articles hap pen to be there the next morning if she herself did not take them there late that night ?'
 "Pon my word. ] haven't the slightest notion" Vance rejoincd. The lady herself could doubtless appease your curiosity. But there are any number of possible eX- plantations, y know. Our departed Chesterfield might have brought them home in his coat pocket women are eternally handing men all manner of gcwgaws and bundles to carry for 'em, with the cooinE request: Can you put this in your pocket for me?' Then again there is the possibility that the real murderer secured them in some way, and placed thom on the man tel delib'ratoly to mislcad the police.
 "Women, don't y know. never put their belongings in such neat, -thc-way places as mantcls and hat-racks, They invariably throw them down on your taV'rito chair or your cnnter-table."

DEL HIS HAPPY

MCPHERSON. Kan. Oct. 13.-It
you wish to END it all'' happily in
a pleasant" death, fill a container

Dr.. ]. W, Hershey, director of the
department. OF chemistry at McPher-
son College here, has recently com
pletea experiments with animal
life, in which he places various
forms Of the species under a variety
OF gases for observation.
DR.. Hershey says that animals
OF all types, when placed in an at.

ana play in high spirits, but soon
die what might be called a very
pleasant death.
The pure environment into which
they are placed, he says, causes this
condition to exist. The heart action

only sthsdal happiness seems in

But, he explains, this life Is like
