IF food were selected for its
dietary properties, the end of
the meat counter where kidneys,
liver, brains and sweetbreads are
to be found would be as popular
as the roast beef section. Wise
men who study foods scientifically
now know that the tissues OF
these g1andular organs differ
from the muscle tissues as much
as the leaves of plants differ
from seeds in their content of
those subtle dietary properties, the
vitamins. Liver has come into
fame for it's iron value.
In selecting sweetbreads one
should know that there are two
kinds-those that are taken from
the throat and those from the
heart. These are round and more
compact than those from the
throat and are considered slightly
more desirable.
All glandular organs require
careful cooking, as they are easily
overlooked. This toughens them
and destroys their delicate flavor
making them almost tasteless.
Sweetbreads should be plunged
into cold water to which one tea
spoon of salt and one teaspoon IF
vinegar for each quart has been
added. Cook them slowly for 20
minutes, then drain, plunge into

More and more we are forced

the productivity of our hormono

sense. the beneficiaries and the
victims OF the chemical correla

In short, the discovery Of the
hormOnes opens up anew the
whole conception OF heredity. We
can now say that men are alike
because they inherit the same
kind OF blood and similar sets Of
glands to secrete hormones for
the blood to carry, but that men
differ because they do not meet
the same physical and chemical
conditions during life and as q

Is Your Mind a Prison?

And when the great fellow was
brought to the zoo and turned out
into all this gorgeous space where
he might have wandered at win

was set to the six PAGES forward
and the six back and so his body
was held to this limitation as

prisoner without shackles or bars

And watching Benny, it occurred
to me that many humans are
just as mistaken. They grow up
with the motion that they are

physical unsoundness, lack of edu.
cation, lack of opportunity-and
they waste their energy and their
lives pacing back and forth with

allotted themselves.
What they all need, not only
