publican convention, ard the sena-

league of nations one OF the dominat-
ing issues, today, completely over

this national battle-ground.

Senators James E. Watson of Indiana,

is managing the senator's campaign.
After comforting with his managers
Senator Willis issued statement in
pleased" with the progress of his
campaign and indicating that he will
make the league of nations one of the
dominant issues in his campaign with
Mr. Hoover.
"Tne people of Tie country have
twice spoken most decisively with .'ef-
ence to the league of nations" Sena-
tor Willis said. There are some cam
didates that are evidently in favor OF
the league of nations At any rate 1t
is being urged on their behalf by their
friends in various states that II non1l-
mated and elected they will proceed
Immediately to put our country into
the LEAGUE OF nations.

the party on this matter is perfectly
clear and well determined, and those
who seek to change that policy and
make out the republican party an in
ternational party will not be success
full in their effort The republican
party is for peace and good will among
nations; it does not believe in iSola-
ticn; it desires to help other nations
but insists America shall be free"
Secretary Jones also declared that

regret that Rev. E. j. Congdon who was
to have delivered the principal address
of the evening was i'll and could not
be present Pat White, who was also
on the program for one of the ad-
dresses, had been called from the city
on business.
Probably the one best feature of the
evening was the rescue from burn-

by troop 6. This troop is sponsored ty
the American legion and had been
drilled severely in its stunt. A life net

were carried from the stage. Two diff
ferent methods of carrying body
were demonstrated in this act The
troop acted quickly and the entire
stunt took less than a minute.
Troop IA demonstrated knot tying.
A number of boys lined up on the
stage and at word of command from
the scoutmaster they all started their
knots at once and worked fast to see
which could finish first
Troop 5 demonstrated the making
of r stretcher from two long poles and
the uniform blouses worn by the scouts.
When the stretcher was completed a
boy was lifted onto it and carried away.
The work was quickly and efficiently
performed
Jack O'Connor, well know amateur
astronomer and weather student, made
a short talk in which he said that all
men who have hobbies that are Of
interest should share their knowledge
and study with the boys. He offered
to give any boys who might be inter
ested chance to study the stars with
him.
Tom Glenn announced that he is
about to organize a scout troop Glenn
formerly was one of the foremost in
scout work in this district but dropped
out some time ago. He reported that
he had recruited three assistant scout
masters and would be prepared to
handle so boys who would finally re-
aolve themselves into two troops in
stead of one He called on the large
number of Kiwanians present to up

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-By DE-. G. A. 9. Reed

You have been told repeatedly
4 in this column that vitamins
are essential to human well be-
ing.
Now, all vitanins come directly
or indirectly from plants. They
are manufactured In plants by the
suns rays and are therefore the
media for transferring and con-
verting a certain amount OF
the suns energy into what we
call our own vital energy. The
water.soluble vitamins, especially
the vitanins b, reach us directly
by our consumption of plants.
The fat.soluble vitamins, or vita
minis A, reach US indirectly by
our consumption of meats, especi-
ally fats. The typical fat for this
purpose Is butter fat, either In
the form of cream or butter tat
itself.
Butter has less vitamin A in it
than cream. probably because OF
destruction in handling. The I'M
habitants of Labrador get more
vftanlin A from condensed and
eyaporated milks than from their
own butter, which comes from
cows fed on very poor hay; in
Norway land probably in many
other places the yitamin con-
tent OF milk goes up as soon as
the cows are turned out to grass
in spring.
Nitamin A is not the only vita.
min in milk that varies with diff
ferent conditions. Some milk is
very poor in d, the anti-rickets
vitamin, and this may be because
OF a shortage of sunlight as well
as an unsuitable diet. If the Wit
amin is lacking in milk 1t will
also be lacking in butter. The
best butter, therefore, is given by
cows that are out at pasture in
summer.
The variability in the vitamin
content of kutter led investigators
to examine other fats. One of
their findings was that lard
hardly contains any fat-soluble
vitamins, even when it is prepared
with as little application of heat
as possible. This Is not surprising
when we consider the diet OF the
hog, which eats very little of the
leafy food which is the original
source of Vitamin A. Rats which
have to depend for their fat
soluble vitamin on lard soon pine
and die, unless they are lucky
enough to get an exceptional
sample of lard, e
The leaf fat of hogs fed on vita
min A.containing diets will con.
tain fair amount ofst this vitamin,
but the high temperature and
aeration processes of manufacture
take away the potency of the fat,
and until the makers OF lard re. :
verse their methods OF prepare
ton no lard can be expected to
have in it any vitamin A worth
speaking about. Even il they
did, it would give no guarantee
that the fat had vitamin A In 1t
to start with.
Many authorities assume that
margarine is very inferior to out
ter in its vitamin A content, but
the experiments of Halliburton and
Drummond showed that young rats
grew equally we'll on either. Mar
garine is made chiefly from oleo
oil, the lower melting point frac-
ton Of beef fat, and this contains
appreciable quantities OF fat-solu-
