Needless to say that would be different from the most

It all depends how much she likes her husband and what

Two babes, one soft and safe
within his mothers arms-the
other furred with wildness. dashed
with storm, peering with hungry
eyes at peace his little life
has never known. That picture
hangs upon my office wall. Out
side my office window is another
scene.
A crowded city street, storm
haunted even on the sunniest
days, beset with lairs and dens
and things that crouch and creep.
And out there. in the storm, the
young ones of our race, almost
as wild and quite as unprotected
as that satyr boy.
Our satyr children, what a dan
gerous trail they tread. what
vicious jungle beasts go stalking
at their side!
And yet, they're human still
for all their goatish naughtiness
they are but babes
Lost babes with wistful eyes,
who peer from out the storm upon
an empty shrine and seek a
sheltering they've never known.
For modern Mary sits no
longer in her shrine.

Protecting the Interests OF
Government Workers
Hs newspaper is glad to have able to point out

This newspaper is glad to have been able to point out
bad Joker the increased pay bill favorably acted
upon BY the House Committee Civil Service
has led the part OF Senators
Representatives that legislation will be allowed to go
through Congress that will bring about decreases in salaries
in the various grades Of the civil service The joker
evidently intended would have done just that thing
Serious okers have gone through Congress in the past
This legislative would have decreased the salaries Of
some the useful and efficient employees Of the Govern
ment instead Of increasing them the House committee
wished
for better pay Government workers. For many this
Newspaper has urged Congress to do the very thing it is now
about do except that the increases provided are entirely
too The promise made however that salary conditions
viii be improved in the future after Congress has made
further study.
No employee Of the Government is overpad Nearly all Of
them underpad and this particularly applies to those
drawing salaries and the valuable scientific and
fssonal employees whose abilities not appreciated until
they drafted into business and industry at salaries far
higher than the Government pays them

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. G. A. Z. Reed

VoU have been repeatedly ad-
4 monished in these articles
against cuItivating a lop-sided
detail meat, all vegetables, all
one thing or all another. The
diet of intelligent people. as 1t Is
evolved, Is the best general guide
for man as he has evolved. This
is simply general rule to which
there are exceptions. The excep-
tions demand a diet to meet ex-
ceptional conditions. All excep-
tional diets ought to be prescribed
by physicians.
This view has recently been
confirmed by DIR. A. M. Lieb-
stein, of New York city. who,
writing in American Medicine, in
sists that vegetables, like every
thing else, must be used in mod
Grafton and combined with other
foods, and to use them properly
1t is necessary to know the
peculiar qualities of each kind.
No two are alike, but each has
its special virtue. Here are a
few of the properties of the COM
mon vegetables and friends. all
easily obtainable, and few drugs
have anything like their health
giving power when rightly used.
Spinach is good one to begin
with, as it is truly the king of
all vegetables. Its chief impor-
lance is the excellent effect 1t has
on the blood. First, it holds 35.5
per cent of iron, a larger proper
ton than that found in any other
articles Of food.
Being alkaline. 1t neutralizes
the acids which are always ready
to become excessive in the
system, and helps to maintain
that balance between acid and
alkali in the blood which is so
vital to the health of the body.
1t also possesses in abundance
a substance called chlorophyIl
which makes vegetables green and
is chemically similar to haemoglo.
bin, an important constituent of
blood. 1t is a great blood purifier.
and an ideal tonic when the
blood is poor.
Cabbage is an alkaline vege-
table. very nutritious and rich in
vitamins. 1t helps to build the
enamel Of the teeth, and causes
the nails and hair to grow, for
it Is one of the chief ways in which
the body gets it's lime. Its high
lime content makes it invaluable
as a preventive of all diseases due
to lime deficiency and its vita.
minis keep away scurvy. 1t has
some of the blood.purifying pro.
perties of spinach.
You, like the public generally,
are probably sick of being told
that you do not eat enough vege-
tables. Nevertheless this tiresome
saying is true, and will have to 90
on being said for years to come.
How many serious and fatal dis
eases of civilization have their or.
igin in trivial disturbances of func-
ton due to a faulty diet? Certainly
all diseases that spring from
bad digestion and constipation, and
a great many more. Ricketts,,
scurvy and neuritis are Vitamin.
deficiency diseases. Arthritis,
diabetes and kidney disease are
nearly always due in the first
instance to a sluggish bowel.
Why eat the wrong food and
develop disease? Rational diet will
not only keep away most illness
but will often cure where drugs
