There was a longer silence. The

enthralled, b~ewildered. Here was he
in the midst of a namelesS terrors,

Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, NJ. ID.
Former Commissioner of Health,

vantages. Our soft food and pre-
digested meals tend to weaken the
teeth. Decay, abcessed roots and
pussy gums are all too common.
Infections take place and the eff
fects of such infections are felt
throughout the body.
One of the evil effects of infec-
ton Is a lessened supply Of the
gastric juice. 1t Is decreased in
quantity and reduced in quality.
This effect in its turn diSturbs d.
gestion and lowers the food value
Of the things eaten.
Buttermilk has long been reQcg-
nized as acceptable when r
foods have disagreed. 1t Is yssUgkn
in these modern days that the
presence Of the Tactic acid has been
responsible for the good effects.
In some countries the milk has
been purposely soured. This Is true
in Oriental lands and in all hot
countries 1t is impossible with
the convenienceS they have, to keep
the milk sweet. Such races have
fermented the supply to make II
acceptable as a food, as well as
to preserve it.
In the process Of fermentation
the curds are broken into fine par
ticleS. In the stomach curds will
form, but many times they are too
large and hard to be acted upon
by the gastric juice, particularly Ii
it is low in acid content.
In the laboratory first and now
in the commercial world, artifi-
cially produced buttermilk is made.
BY the addition OF Tactic acid to
the Bacillus bulgaricus, the fer
mentation is hastened.

But why are you here?"
"Well-same reason why I was
in the train"
Il see," she said, and her tone
became suddenly friendly. II still
don't understand, though. Who are
are you-and why were you in the
train?"
Brown struggled for an adequate
and dignified reply. How was it
that some people could always think
Of the right thing to say. while the
minds of other people went blank?"
We'll, it was like this, Miss" he
began, and then stopped. He stop
ped for two reasons. One, because
he still couldn't think of the right
thing to say, and, two, because he
was angry with himself for having
called her miss"
GO on" she encouraged him,
gently. "You-wanted to help me.
Was that it?"
Splendid, understanding person.
Eyes, that was i'll" he exclaimed.
"You see, I'd got on to it that they
were after you, and that little man
well, I was just following him,
you see."
"You know him?"
ME? Know that feller?" Browns
tone implied that he had some So
cial discrimination, despite his hum
BILE origin.
What made YOU follow him,
then?"
1T was in the restaurant at
Kings Cross. You had lunch there,
didn't you? Well, so did I And
just as you were leaving, two men
passed me, and one of them was

other was saying to him-well, I'll

He paused, a little breathleSS. Her
eyes were very soft as she looked
at him. He could just see them by
the light of her torch. which was
now lowered considerably to the
ground and made a dim illumina-
ton in that room. A wrong 'un?

Lots Of people write to inquire
about the use of buttermilk and
other acid milks. They want to
know if they are good for health.
A few days ago I told about the
value Of such milk in overcom-
ing the weakness and other dis
abilities of undernourished babies.
Similar good effects may come to
the adult who makes use Of this
food.
I used the word food" on pur-
pose. Too many persons regard
milk merely as a beverage. This
is a great mistake. Not only is it
a food, but it is mankind's chief
and most valuable food.
What can I say to impress this
on your mind? Everybody should
take milk in some form every day
of the year. 1t carries elements
of vital Importance to your physi-
cal welfare. The sooner you real
lie this and act upon the convic-
ton, the better for you.
But it must be admitted there
are some persons who do not han
die milk well! The digestive pow
ers are low, or at least unsuited
for the digesting of ordinary milk.
In such cases it may well be that
some form of acid milk may meet
the situation. 1t is on this account
! am writing today.
AS I have said about babies, there
are human stomachs that do not
manufacture sufficient acid to
carry on the processes of digestion
in satisfactory manner. In conse-
quence. indigestion, distress and
undernourishment may result.
1t Is surprising how the muscles
tone and appearance of the skin
improve by a change of diet. Mere
ly adding acid to the milk may eff
feet this improvement.

sort of reward, Brown surmised.
Well, he mustn't presume upon it,
OF course. He dropped the hand
and then suddenly realized what
she had said.
There is a way, is there?" he ex-
claimed. "What?"
"A door I want to open-and
can't" she said slowly. Then she
forgot the door, and broke off: Yes,
but how did 70 uknow I was going
to Byford moore"

answered Brown. Same as that lit
tie man did"
and how did you know I was
here?"
There's a tramp spending the
night in a shed outside there. He
said he'd seen you 60 in"
rs the tramp there now?"
Eyes. But you needn't worry. He's
asleep. Well-what about the door?"
"Oh, yes-the doori"
She thought for a second. Doubt
crept into her face.
Look here, miss-I want to help
you" insitsed Brown, a~nxiously.
II know you do. You're-splen-

needn't be afraid any more on my
account. Yes-please go. 1t will be
better. And-if you would-don't
say anything to anybody about all
this"
(which is the door," asked
Brown.
Perhaps she realized the determi-
nation in his tone. Perhaps, after
all, she really did not want him
to go. She made no further protest,
but turned and directed her torch
toward the door by the silent
grandfather clock.

and walked towards it.
Its locked" said the girl, fol-
lowing him. II can pick a lock-in
fact, I've picked that LOCKOUT it
seems to be bolted, too-on the in

Browns heart missed a beat. She
could pick a lock! Well-no one
should know it from him!
Brown had no notion. A stout
stool stood near the door. He picked
it up and. with the sudden strength
Of a knight who cannot afford to
fail, smashed it against the door
panel. The pane splintered.
"Oh, well done!" exclaimed the
girl, and swiftly peeled off a long
splinter of wood. Inserting her hand,
she felt for the inside bolt, and
drew it aside.
Then she pulled the door open.
AS she did so, a rigid body swayed
toward them, and fell with a thud
on the floor.

Now he reached the house, and
was creeping, like a soldier about
to go lover the top" towards the
low window ledge. Now he reached
the window ledge. The window was
still open. The interior blackness
yawned at him, like a huge velvet
mouth.

this earth are incoherent, and very
rarely say exactly what they mean.
One leg went over the ledge. He
was just in the velvet mouth now.

if he decided to. ...

He thought of the girls face for
comfort. In his imagination she

neck. and thanked him for his he

He held her to him, tight, and over
went the other leg.
He was right in now Right in
side the mouth. Surely it would
close on him! He turned, and the
garden cleaned DULY back at him,
oddly inaccessible. The lips that
framed it remained open. just one
leap, and he could.
He swung around swiftly. Now
the garden was behind him and
ahead was an intense blacknesS
through which crept soft footsteps.
Who's there?" he said.
His voice sounded like the voice Of
2 pea-hen. He was not really sure
that it sounded at all. He tried
again.
WHO'S THERE?"
This time his voice sounded like
thunder. and he nearly jumped out
of his skin through the shock of it.
It .roared through invisible vistas,
and the echoes came rolling back.
"Boom-booml Boom-boom!"
And the footsteps still crept soft
ly.
Then Browns brain burst, and he
lost control Of himself. He rushed
forward, senselessly, without any
plan or policy. and a miraculous
thing happened. His waving arms
touched something, and wound
themselves round that something
with the winding force Of an octo-
pus. and all at once he heard q
heart beating close to his own and
experienced a warmth that almost
made him sob through the sheer
relief and wonder of it. Brown did
actually cry a little though he never
knew it, and for a brief instant his
head rested inert against tn {
warmth with the need Of a small
child seeking comfort. The capturel

warm thing.
Whatever It had asked, Brown
would have obeyed that voice. He
released his capture, and stood wait

A sudden light bla2ed into his
face, almost binding him. The girl
had switched on an electric torch
and as she did so she gave a little
exclamation.
"why-I've seen you beforel" she
exclaimed

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUMNIER

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Franklin w. Fort, New
Jersey representative in congress, will be heard from
often on the question: of farm relief at the forth
coming special session, and yet it is doubtful if there
is a single farmer numbered among his constituents.
Wis district is essentially urban, lying almost with
in a stones throw Of New York City. Parts of New
wark and the cities Of East Orange and Orange, as
well as the wealthy suburbs of Essex county make
up his constituency.
But respite the fact that Fort is a "city man, it is
conceded en- Capitol hill that when the house plunges
into the farm problem he will be found in the thick
Of the fight at all times.
A CITY ARMER
Forts friends have never been able to explain
why he has taken such an interest in agriculture
since he came to congress. When he arrived in
Washington four years ago to serve his first term
he came into the office of his colleague. Charles A.
Eaton and remarked:
DOC, I intend to try and get a seat on the
agricultural committee"
Eaton and other of his friends were greatly sur
prised. Why should he. representing a state which
had little or no interest in agriculture, want such
a post. And besides. what personal interest could
he have? All of his operations had been in the
banking and insurance fields before his election to
congress. Even at that time he was manager of a
big fire insurance agency in Newark, representing
Denmark company and was president of a bank.
But Fort stuck to his purpose. He won his place
on the committee and came back to his friends
"tickletd as a child"
From the very beginning he tackled the farmers
problems with the greatest enthusiasm. He set out
to acquaint himself thoroughly with what agricul-
ture was up against. Today, if you walk into his
office you will see lined about his desk volume of
books on agriculture and economics-all within easy
reach.
During his first year in congress he made a speech
on farm relief before the lower house that attracted
the attention of political leaders and drew comnlen-
dalton from the press. At the republican national
convention in KANSAS City last June he was in the
spotlight more than once when the question of farm
relief was up.
A HOOyER AIDE
Capitol hill thinks he will play an especially i'm
portant part in the coming session, because he is
SO close to r President Hoover. He was one of Hoover's
aides in the food administration, and has long been
known as one of the foremost Hoover supporters.
The President has a lot Of confidence in the New
Jersey representative and has often conferred with
him. There were telephone conversations between
the two while Hoover was mentioning at Miami
Beach. 1t may be said safely that whatever Fort
has to say on the floor of the house these next few
weeks will be listened to with respect.
Fort is one Of the hardest working men in con-
gress. 1t is a rare occurance when. he leaves his Of
flee before Z o'clock at night, and he is often to be
found there as late as midnight. plugging away.

the board decided today.
The action was the final episode
of a stormy year at the house of
God. The student attack on Shields
and other board members followed
dismissal of President Wayman and
other faculty members suspected by
Shields of harboring faint gleanings
of scientific truth which constituted
a grave menace to their fundamen-

At the height of the row, inquisi-
tive students peeped at Waterloo

names of Shields and Miss Edith M

close together. The devout youths
whispered their fears. Some even
snickered surreptitiously. Of course
Shields was "exonerated" by the
