WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE

| WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
 Garrett Folsom is stabbed tc death while swimming at Ocean Town. N. J.
 Folsom's bathing companions had been Roger Neville, business part ner; Mrs. Helen Barnaby and Car me!ita Naldon.
 Anastasia Folsom. eccentric and masterful sister of the dead man. takes command. At the inquest it is learned thas the death weapon was a pichaq. an Oriental knife. and it had been bought on the boardwalk.
 It is learned that one Croydon Sears is q fancier of curious weap- ons. He admits buying two knives but not the pichaq.
 Anastasia engages Titus Riggs. an architect, to work on the case. Dan Pelton, the dead mans nephew. ar rves and is puzzled by some curious French dolls in Folsom's room.
 Croydon Sears sends for Fleming Stone, famous detective. He tells him Folsom had been blackmailing him and he had lied at the inquest but was innocent
 Stone meets others of the circle. including Ned Barron and his wife, Madeline. and begins quietly 10 work. In Folsom's room, Stone asks Pclton to produce the dead mans papers. and it comes to light that Carmelita Naldon had stolen some letters from them. Suspicion imme- diately falls on Carmelita.

She made a dead set for my brother, and they had an affair which, she thought. would end in Garry's marrying her but it didn't. Garry was just a little too smart for that! But there was bit of scandal. and somehow or other Garry kept the whip hand Since then Carmy and I have been friends outwardly. and she and Garry were seemingly friends, but she was afraid of him."
 Not afraid of him." amended Pelton. ''but he had some letters of hers which were perhaps bit indiscreet. These she naturally wanted to get back after his death.

Dicky Gives Yelled Hint of Danger
 to Someone

I was distinctly piqued by the air of suppressed amusement which Dicky's manner had betrayed ever since his yisi. to the mysterious for eigners who had rented Mir. Grim sey's shack at the rear Of our farm. and my resentment was not lessened by the quizzical look in his eyes as he said that he supposed l wanted 10 know what he had found out about these men.

 My tone held both pettishness and amusement and the instant the words were out of my mouth l could have bitten my tongue through in chagrin. Dicky and were not on the familiar terms which warran- ted either frierdliness or irritation Rather frigid courtesy, was the standard which we tacitly had set ourselves since our agreement to keep up pretense Of marital union for Juniors sake, and I was furious at myself for breaking through it.

 Was it my fancy. or did he hes- tate perceptibly before he uttered the last two words"
 The red-bearded man is especial ly harmless" he went on, just big moron.'

Now drop her before you get in too deep. Before you get the reward your Uncle Garry got. I suppose she begged you for that packet of letters. By the way, where has 1t been all the timec I haven't seen it."
 T took care of it," Pelton said, obstinately.
 T know you did. But where did you find it? In the suitcase?"
 "Yes. And I just laid it aside for the moment. I knew she never killed uncle. How could she?"
 "Why couldn't she?" retorted his aunt. She stood next him at the rope: that we know. Stood at his right hand side. So she had mo- tive and opportunity. As to the weapon. we've no real reason to as- sumc if must have been one of those antique things. It may have been a hotel carving knife. Any woman clever enough to plan and carry out such scheme of murder would be quite clever enough to manage the weapon part of the business. Now, Mir. Stone. there's your crim- inal; go and get heE"
 Had the case been less serious, Fleming Stone would have been amused at the emphatic declara- tions of Miss Folsom.
 She was striding up and down the room, her bobbed hair escaped from the influence of brilliantine, waving in quivering tufts. Her black lace evening gown was short and the great red rose at her shoul- der shook on its stem as she ges- ticulated with her bare arm, which was held. now aloft. like the Sta tue of Liberty, and now straight out. as sine pointed. in emphasis, at one or another of her hearers.
 Interested hearers. too, for Tite Riggs was getting new light on the beautiful Carmelita: Croydon Sears was beginning to see way out for himself. and Fleming Stone was hearing and weighing this in formation, so freely given, and rap. idly assigning it to its true place in his collection of evidence.
 Gently, gently, Miss Folsom" he said. looking at her kindly. T know you think you have discov- cred the one who killed your brother, and it excites your sense of justice. but remember we haven't proved anything and. in- deed, have little to bank on. A packet of love letters and a posi- ion next to Mr. Folsom on the rope in the ocean. I see no more than that. and that, dear lady, is not enough"
 Its enough for me" Anastasia 'olsom's eyes snapped. She snatched ID one of the dolls that was perch d on the mantel.

Your'Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DR.. MORRIS FIsHBE1N Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, the Health Magazine

| A Chicago physician who accom-. panied the MacMillan expedition into the Arctic regions in 1926 made ! a special study of the health of the Eskimos of northern Labrador and of Greenland.
 These Eskimos live. for the most part, on diets consisting largely of meat and fish, meats being provided by whale, walrus. seal. caribou, musk OK, arctic hare, polar bear, fox and numerous sea beasts includ. ing geese. duck and gulls. These meats as we'll as the fish are usually eaten raw.
 Dr. William A Thomas says that contrary to general opinion, the Eskimo eats relatively little fat or blubber. but uses these portions for oil in lighting and warming tho home, and in melting ice and snow for drinking.
 The Eskimo prefers red meat. eating the flesh. and particularly the liver. Dr. Thomas says that polar bear liver is poisonous and that dogs. even though starving, will leave 1t untouched.
 On this diet the Greenland Eski- mo does not show any tendency to diseases of the blood vessels or kid- neys, and seems to be quite healthy. The presence of the vitamins in large amounts in the tissues that have been mentioned protects him against scurvy and rickets.
 On the other hand. the Labra- dor Eskimo. whose diet includes many prepared. dried and canned articles is frequently subject to both scurvy and rickets, diseases that have been shown to be due to lack of certain vitamins.
 It was found that the children are nursed for four. and not infre- ouently for six years. or until their teeth are strong enough to permit them to eat meat. Thus they also are protected through their moth- ers' milk. In Labrador, even though the children nurse from the mothers. scurvy and rickets are common, since the mothers them. selves eat only a sophisticated diet.

 The next story: "The Circus Leaves"
New Britain herald., 1927-05-25

After Peter Rabbit and Danny Meadow Mouse had seen Miss Coy o'e in the cage in the circus tent they saw many other strange folk They saw Howler the Wolf, and Pe- ter shivered as he looked at him. They saw a Polar Bear. Peter had seen Buster Bear, the Black Bear, in the Green Forest, and as he look ed at the white coat of MT. Polar Bear he had feeling that it must he that his eyes were fooling him. You see. it was hard work to real ize that one member of the Bear family could be so black and anoth- CT could be so white. You can guess how Peter and Danny trembled very often as they looked at these strange people from distant places. More than once they were tempted to run. Had it not been that Circus Mouse did rot seem at all afraid they would have run.
 At last they came to cage that was different from the others. It had a glass front. At first, Peter couldn't make out what was inside. He stretched his neck and looked and looked. and then, while he was looking, something appeared behind that glass that gave Peter such fright that for a moment of two he couldn't move at all. He knew with out being told that he was looking at the head of a great Snake, but 1t was such Snake as he hadn't dreamed could possibly live. It was Snake so big that beside it six foot Mir. Black Snake would look like a baby. The big eyes started at Peter without blinking. and in them certainly was a hungry look.' 1t was look that made little cold shivers run all over Peter. Of course you know who it was that Peter was looking at. It was Boa tho Con- strictor from faraway South Amer ica.
 What are you staring at. Peter?" cried Danny Meadow Mouse. who hadn't yet discovered Boa.
 Peter couldn't find his tongue. He
 
 was still too upset. But Danny looked where Peter was looking. and then, with a squeak Of sheer terror, he turned and darted away. Then Peter found his legs and he started after Danny, and there was nothing slow about tho way those two little folk were moving.
 
 in sheer surprise. Wait a minute. Wait minute!" he squeaked. But his voice was not heard. Across the animal tent and under the edge of it raced Peter and Danny. Nor did they stop when they got outside. They kept going just as long as there breath held out. When they stopped they were panting.
 Did you sect it?" gasped Peter at last.
 Ugh. I should say I did see it." exclaimed Danny with shiver I'm glad that no member of the Snake family grows to be as big as that on the Green Meadows. Do you want to go back there, peter??''
 No. I don't" replied Peter. My is quite satisfied I've seen all I want to see. l know l shall have bad dreams now. Whenever I an tempted to think that Mother Nature isn't fair to us because we have so many hungry enemies like Reddy Fox and Redtail the Hawk, l nd Hooty the Owl. and Old Man .oyote. and Fowler the Bobcat, I | hall just think what it would be Ike If some of these people We have | cen over there were living on the ;reen Meadows.
