, water as compared with ten for man; oxygen sufficient to fill 500 nine gallon barrels; enough carbon to make 5000 graphite pencils; enough phosphorous to make 5000 small box es Of matches; enough hydrogen tot ! 10 blow up a balloon capable of rais- !ng the whole body to the top of the Woolworth building; enough iron to make five taclis enough salt to fill six ordinary salt cellars: and four or five pounds of nitrogen. equal to four quarts of amonia. The iron, as has been previously mentioned. is among the least of ingredients. < A few years ago when the ''eat- more raisins" campaign spread across the country. the chief claim in the advertising was the argument that the raisins would provide iron. In the body the iron is an impoi tant ingredient of the red blood cells, associated with the carrying of oxy- gen by the blood from the lungs throughout the body. If person loses red blood cells he gets pale and anemic.
 There is, however. nothing to be gained in anemia by taking vast quantities of iron. since the body can accommodate only . certain small amount. The entire quantity of iron in the normal body of a full-grown person is about one-tenth of an ounce which makes one part to e5,- 900 by weight.
 1T the body is conducting its chemical affairs in orderly manner ' only a trace of the iron is lost daily turing the processes of digestion. ex- ,rcise. breathing, and similar func. lions. It has been estimated that the total wastage and loss amounts to about one-fifth of grain or about seventy fifth of gram. which is about the amount of iron that could easily be shaken off a rusty
 nail.
 Obviously there Is ordinarily little
 reason to take extra quantities of iron into the body. The substance
 is found in considerable amounts in lean meat, in the yolk of egg. in 1 spiuuNH, ldDUdSc, III peas, DedHS, potatoes. milk and many fruits. For many years the average Am- erican diet was white bread made without milk, meat. potatoes and coffee into which someskimmed milk might be poured. Such a diet was quite likely to be deficient in many important ingredients. The scienti- fife students of nutrition have decid : 1 cd that most American diets must 1 be watched as to their content of | iron.
 However one need not necessar. | fly eat raisins or excessive amounts of any other food. There are so many | factors concerned in a diet that all of them must be watched equally. For some people raisins mean too much indigestible residue of rough- age.

His taste is impeccable as you know, and he loves planning for func. ton of any kind. Yes. l know with swift look at my downcast face. You'd much rather do it yourself under the present circum- stances. But l must put the kibosll on your going away for a day or | two until we get all our arrange ments perfected here. However. I can relieve you of one task. can put it up to the Dicky-bird, so you won't have to break the first ice : Will that help?"
 "Immeasurably," I told her with swift relief, for I infinitely dreaded making any appeal to Dicky for sid in even so impersonal a thing to us as the betrothal announcement dinner
 That's that, then" she said. The very first chance l get when we three are together, I'll tackle him on it."
 The chance did not come, how ever. until after luncheon. -. Harry and Dicky were mysteriousiy busy in a suite directly below ours which opened, as did all those ot that floor upon long balcony. When they came in to belated luncheon served in the suite. they were quietly jubilant.

 I turned . puzzled face to Lillian as she said that we were ''sewsd In for the Winter"
 II don't understand" l said. and che clapped me on the shoulder with 2 mercurial rise of spirits which interpreted as a release from the four hour tension which our trip from the farmhouse had given her.
 T mean. dear child" she said. that now we're safely landed at the hotel. our trips away from it will be few and far between until this plot against Prince Georges has been frustrated. We have most comfortable rooms, there's Glori- ous roof on the top of the hotel which will provide us with plenty of fresh air and room for exercise, and everything we need can be or dered by telephone"
 You mean," stammered, that we can't leave the hotel at all?"
 She laughed at my bewildered face and shot a quick glance toward the door of the room which Prin- cess Olina and Mary were to share and to which Lillian had ushered them before taking me to her own room. Dicky and Prince Georges were in our suite.
 You can." she said. with Giscre- ton, making sure that no one mis- takes you for Mary or Princess Olina. And of course the Dicky-b bird and old Phil Veritzen will prowl in and out to thelr offices. Therell be no particular string upon Noel, either. although the more everybody stays inside the hotel the better Harry will like it. But Georges. Mary and Olina must not stir from the hotel, until this mess is cleared up."
 I shivered at something in her tone which told me that she had good reasons for the seemingly fam tastic precautions.

 Tt all depends upon how readily those kenellos chaps fall into the trap Harry is going to set for them," she said.

 That's your opinion" retorted Jenny.
 Now just forget it and get busy. We must make up for lost time"
 T haven't lost any time." grum- hled Mr. Wren. thinking of how hard he had worked to fill two lit- tie houses.
 Well. you're losing time now, ,' retorted Jenny. and flew down to pick up little stick and carry it back into that clothespin bag. She took two or three sticks in while Mir. Wren looked on Then. half-heartedly. he flew down and picked up a stick. But once he had begun work he was filled with joy again and he sang and worked, and worked and sang. as if he quite agreed with Jenny that that clothes pin bag was the place of all places for a Wrens nest.

Mr. Wren was quite out of pa- tience. He was quite excusabls. He had worked hard and had filled two little houses with sticks and other material. such as Wrens like for the foundation of a nest Now Jenny had informed him that his work was all for nothing She ha. decided that they wouldn't use either of those houses Do you won- der that MT. Wren had lost patience?
 Jenny didn't seem to mind She flew over to Farmer Browns house and when she didn't come back after some tim4. MT. Wren went to look for her. Have you found an- other house over here?" he de- manded.
 Not exactly house. replied Jenny. but a place for a nest"
 Mir. Wren looked around. "1 don't see any place for a nest" said he.
 You come with me-" said Jenny. Y do love the unusual and this year our home will be one of the most unusual ones We have ever had. You come with me-"
 MT. Wren immediately followed He has learned through long ex- perience that when Jenny has made up her mind to something. he may as we'll give in first as last. He knows she will have her way. So now he followed Jenny.
 She flew to the shed back of Farmer Browns house. Hanging from nail just inside the shed was a bag and this bag was nearly. but not quite filled with clothespins. There was little opening into which Jenny promptly popped Then she popped out again.
 This thing is already full Of sticks" said she, They are big sticks. but all we shall have to do is to add few little sticks and then build the nest"
 Of course. those ''big sticks" were the clothespins, You see. Mother Browns clotheslr1e was stretched just outside the shed, so the clothes phi Dag was very nandy.
 What do you think of thiso" demanded Jenny.
 Not much replied Mir Wren. Whoever heard of building nes! in such a place as that? And there over in the Old Orchard are two perfectly good houses. made spe- cially for us. to judge by the size of the doorways. You must be iok- ing when you say we are going to build our nest here"
 Tut. ut. tut. tut scolded Jenny. This is the place l want and this is the place I'll have. What are you going to do about it.?
 This was too much for Mir. Wren What could he do about it? He knew Jenny well enough to know that when hey mind was set on thing. nothing could change it. So Mr. Wren sighed.

NEW YORK INSISTS
! PAT GROVE ALIVE
Buffalo Police Say, However,
{ That Cudahy Kidnaper
Died by Own Hand.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
- NEW YORK, February 1s.-New
York and Buffalo police differed today
as to whether Pat Grove was dead or
alive.
q A suicide in Buffalo was identified by
the police of that city yesterday as the
one-time train robber and kidnaper of
Edward Cudahy, jr., but early today a
man who said he was Grove appeared
7 at New York police headquarters.
He said he had seen the story of the
suicide in the newspapers and wanted
to relieve the anxiety of his son and
daughter in Chicago.
He said he had been living at Bow
cry hotel for the last several months
and before that had been connected
with magazine in Hartford, Conn, for
which he had been writing articles
against prohibition.
New York police said Grove has been
character along the Bowery for some
time and had been arrested the last
time for panhandling in the subway.
They verified their identification by
picture sent here from Chicago in 1898
when he was arrested there for robbery
Although he had mustache when the
picture was taken, they said there was
no doubt that the man was Grove.
The Buffalo police, however. persisted
in the belief that the body of the sui
eide was that of Grove The Identified
ton was first made by two detectives,
who said they arrested him four years
ago for drunkenness. After the identi-
f1cation had been called into question
Chief of Detectives Riordan of Buffalo
recalled that Grove always wore felt in
his shoes, due to weak ankles. Making
second investigation of the body in
the morgue, he found the shoes of the
victim were lined with felt.
The body of the suicide, with bullet
through it, was found in the rear of the
united States customs Office. All marks
Of identification had been removed from
the clothing.
