I think that the temptation ever
came to them, so rooted were
they in honor and good sense.
Yet, in spite of their divided
lives, they have sustained each
other for years in the long
journey.
They see each other seldom.
and have never. as far as
know, been alone together. But
now and then they write. Not
formal letters. They have never
made any declaration to each
other. never tried to define or
cement their inner harmony. A
line-a versa random thought
that is all they send each other.
Nothing for weeks at q time save
the peaceful, steady consciousness
0f mutual understanding That
is enough. That sustains them
and quickens them for service
to those who need them.
In a sense, these two people
have been part Of each other
since the day they met. Her
peace has come from him, his
strength from her. Yet they have
never clasped hands or touched
lips or claimed any share in each
others days.
The thought of those two lives
gives me hope. Some time, per-
hans. all men and women may

across my own heart. And I
wonder If beauty and truth are
dead.
Then / think of a man and q

They are old now. They were
past youth before they met. They
are not married nor has any
one ever thought Of them as
lovers. Yet ] think that no mar.
riage could be more rare or
mystical in it's refreshment than
the relationship of these two
gentle friends.
AS have said. they were near
ing middle age when they met.
It must have been a great JOY
to them, that meeting. They had
both led lonely, inexpensive lives
amongst friendly but uncompre'
bending people. And suddenly
they found that they understood
each other, even without words.
That sudden leaping sense OF
understanding. we're suspicious OF
1t in our tight. selfish world.
Men and women aren't supposed
to understand" unless they nave
some property right" in each
other. When we hear of it. we're
quick with whisper and insinua-
ton. And, all too often, our SUI
spicions prove true. The thing
that began simply and beautifully
ends in a scandal.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
.Ry De. g. "a. y. Reed

YOU of this generation are
4 singularly blessed, az com.
pared with your ancestors, in the
commercial development of canned
food. These products under the
high ethical interests Of large
capital, stimulated by the opera.
ton of the pure food and drugs
act are almost uniformly pure,
safe and nutritious. There are
but few exceptions, and they are
accidental. Most Of the cases OF
poisoning from canned food are
in products of home preparation,
showing that, unfortunately, there
are many housewives who are I'M
skilled in the art.
Food poisoning must have been
known from the very earliest
times. Certain kinds Of fish,
fruit, fungus, ETC., are naturally
poisonous, and man has had to
learn by experience what to
choose and what to reject+ But
civilization, both because Of the
necessity Of keeping foods for
long periods and the unhealthy
desire of many people to have
their palates tickled by made-up
foods or foods preserved in var
ious ways. has introduced many
new kinds of poisoning. and most
of them are due to the action
Of bacteria, not all of which are
known.
1t Is a common error to talk
OF ptomaine poisoning. There is
no such thing as ptomaine poison
ing. Ptomaines are only produced
in the very last stage of decom-
position Of any organic matter,
and never appear in any food
until it is far too nasty to be
eaten, even by a starving man.
The one constant factor of all
food poisoning outbreaks is that
the food which has caused the
poisoning is indistinguishable
from sound food in appearance,
taste and smell.
The group Of microbes respon.
sible for three-quarters of the
food poisoning that happens is
the Salmonella group, which grow
very rapidly in food, particularly
in hot weather. but the food does
not show any physical change.
This Is why food poisoning is dis
tinctly more common in the sum.
mer months.
DR.. Savage, British Medical
Journal, gives a list showing the
relative frequency with which
various foods were incriminated
in two hundred cases. Canned
foods were highest with 80 per
cent, and made-up meats second
with 81 per cent. Then came
fresh meat, 16 per cent, but after
that there was a}drop to milk
products, 8 per cent, chiefly ice
cream and cheese, and milk itself,
z per cent. Less manipulated
meats, fruits, vegetables and other
foods were responsible for 4 per
cent each.
The most conspicuous thing
about this table is the danger OF
canned food and of made.up meat.
but it is possible that In tha
United States, where ice cream is
so much more popular than In
England, the figure may be
higher foE 3GN cream.

Workers Pay Debts,
Character Loan"
Bank Finds

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Ine
American wage Garner of estao-
lished character and earning
power is the best debtor the
banking world knows, according
to figures made public by the
Justice Credit Corporation. Losses
on so-calIed character loans
having no collateral, run as low
as one-tenth of one per cent, ac-
cording to these figures. -.
Despite this condition, WITH
about 80 900 commercial banks IN
the United States, there are only
500 whose business is the making
of character loans, it is SAID.
This is in contrast with $4,000
such institutions in Europe, which
do an annual business Of 7,Ooo,-
