AAdge Rel0cs the Incident Of the
 Miniature

The fingen of Princess Olina's s lovely hands were clenched into her palms, and her eyes held a live ly look of terror as she spoke of the mysterious '.sunet hing" which was troubling her. I did not wish to force her confidence, but my con- acience forbade me to finish our in terview without another and more definite offer to help her. When she made her first appeal 10 me 10 lis ten to her story, saying that she must tell somebody" I was very aure that she was actuated by terror of the men in the shack. But iator she had said she would not both CT" me now with the thing that was frightening her. l wondered if she had ina ginel some lack Of SNmpa- thy on my part and ops ned my lips upon a plea tu tell me what Was troubling her. But she forestalled me with question which evidently had been in the back of her mind all through out interview.
 You said little while ago. she began, that until today you had doubts of my identify because my nose was not the Eapsburg one characteristic Of my family. How did you find out the truth today?'
 Her great. velvety eyes were searching my face and l could eyade tho truth no longer. But l hoped that not yet would she suspect that I had discovered the thin-code- writ ten paper in the secret compartment Of her miniature case.
 II deceived you a few minutes ago" I began slowly, steadily, flor thought you were too nervously upset to hear the truth. But l must give you a truthful answer to direct position. When you loosened your miniature case in your agita- tion at hearing of your old nurses illness 1t was not caught in your clothing. Instead it fell upon the floor of the library, flew open and displayed your mothers miniature. My maid found it and gave 1t to me as soon as I returned home. and I brought 1t back and put it into your dress. hoping you would not have to know that 1t had been away from your person. But no harm has been done. Your secret is as safe as it was before."
 She made no outcry it the revela- tion, but her face had whitened and her eyes dilated as I talked. When

Cooking utensils arc usually made of iron, copper, tin, aluminium and nickel.
 Zinc is not usually used be- cause it is easily acted on by weak acid substances.
 Copper, aluminium and nicke! are all acted on to some extent by food substances.

 Specialists in industrial dis cases have not been able to find any diseases associated with cop Drs. F. B. Flinn and J. M. 1nouye of New York recently made avail able complete study of the effects of various metallic sub stances on the human body, par ticularIy in such quantities as arc found in foods due to dissolving of metals from cooking utensils.
 In the first place. copper. zinc, manganese, iron, aluminium or nickel are commonly found in plant and seafoods. So far as is known, these substances, except iron, do not have any function in the human body and when taken in are promptly eliminated through the intestines.
 Metallic Salts
 If the metallic salts are present in excessive amounts, they may occasionally irritate. However, ordinary amounts are rendered harmless through combination with food.
 A careful study made by the New York investigators convinced them that there is no scientific evidence of any chronic poisoning taking place from food cooked in aluminium cooking utensils.

 It was two days before Bobby Coon again saw Scrapper the King bird. At least, he didn't see him to talk to. Scrapper was too busy to talk. Mrs. Scrapper had decided where their new nest was to be built and she expected Scrapper to help in the hunt for good nesting material. What Mrs. Scrapper ex- pects from Scrapper she usually gets. So Bobby Coon's curiosity re- mained unsatisfied.
 But on the third day Scrapper flew over where Bobby was. He was out of sight of Mrs. Scrapper there and he decided that both the time and the place were good for a rest. At first, he didn't see Bobby Coon. It wasn't until Bobby spoke that Scrapper discovered him.

Onion juice and vinegar are eX-

To keep butter firm in hot

the water as it will dissolve, wrap
the butter in greaseproof paper

prevents the butter from turning

RAIN ROBS
SOIL

Tens of millions OF dollars are
being literally washed away in
the rivers and streams of America
through failure OF farmers and
other land owners TO properly
protect their lands from erosion,
reports The Farm Journal in its
November issue. The rich sur
face soil, created by the accumula-
ton of vegetable matter for may
centuries. Is laid bare by plow-
ing and deforestation, and within
a few years is swept away by
rains. leaving only the semi
sterile earth beneath.
"A six-year-old experiment at
the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture shows that on slope of 3.6
feet to 100 feet, soil left without
any crops washes so rapidly that
only 20 years are required to wear
away the seven inches of surface
SOIL says the magazine. with
rotation of corn, wheat and
clover on the same land, 437
years would be required to move
the surface seven inches. while
on land left in sod continuously
the time required to wash away
the same seven inches would be
3,547 years"
Systematic terracing of such
sloping ground, used ir conjunc.
ton with regular cover crops,
would make the life of the rich
top soil almost interminable, It

What DR.. Caldwell Learned
in AZ Years Practice

mr. Caldwell watched the results
~ aconstipation for Al years, ana
believed that no matter how careIuI
neoule are OF their health. diet ana
exercise constipation will occur from
time To time regardless of how
much one tries to avoid 1t. Of
NEXT Importance, then, is how 90
treat ii when 1t comes. DR.. Caid-
wei always was in favor OF getting
a. close to nature as possible, hence
his remedy for constipation. known
as DR.. Caldwells syrup Pepsin, Is
q mild vegetable compound 1t can
not harm the most delicate system
and is not a habit forming prepara-
tion. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting. and youngsters love It. IL
does not gripe. Thousands or moth
ers have written us to that effect.
DIR. Caldwell did not approve Of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for nu-
man beings to put into their sys-
tenn. In practice of AZ years he
never saw any reason for their rse
when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin
will empty the bowels. just as
promptly, more eleanIy and gently
without gripping and harm to the
system.
Keep free from constipation! 1t
robs your strength. hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let day go by
without a bowel movement. Do not
sit and hope, but go to druggist
and get one of the generous bottles
of DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Take the proper dose that night
and BY morning you will feel like
