Health and Right Living
By ROYAL s. COPELAND, nj. ID.
Former Commissioner or Health.

Your poor old liver is a much
abused organ. 1t Is called upon to
take from your system great guam
titles of poisonS, some of them
perfectly natural and, in that sense,
proper" But unfortunately we
are careless Of our highest welfare
and are inclined not to guard the
liver against unnecessary demands
upon its powers.
An important part Of the blood
vessel system of the body, is a
group of veins beginning in the
lower intestine and bowel. The
blood is carried from here into
larger veins, all part OF what is
called the portal system" In this
way it reaches the liver.
The portal blood is filled with
bacteria and poiSons which have
originated In the waste materials In
the bowel. OF course, Nature has
adopted wonderful protective mea-
sures and, under fairly normal
conditions, will prevent the escape
through the portal system of more
sucn agents than the liver can de-
Stroy or modify without undue
effort.
Inc liver is a laboratory where
wonderful things are done. 1t is its
junction to work over the mol
sonous things and feed them into
the general blood circulation so
slowly, or so changed, that they do
us no harm.

The lock appeared to have been

of his own party had been respon-

On the other hand, he did not re-

door seemed to have been recently
mended. He quelled an impulse to
try and smash it in. He did not

He returned to the staircase, sud-
denly attracted by a door he had
not noticed. There was no gap I'M

walled off by stout oak, and this
door suggested a cupboard. Or, per-

He tried the door. Locked.

The Once Over
MIR. CooLIDGE's NEW JOB
BY H. I. PHILLIPS

n1ns OOOLADOE . NEW JOD
Ex-President Coolidge has become an insurance
man. He has agreed to accept office as director
of the New York Life. This will mark the first time
in history that a man of few words has ever 3
anywhere in the insurance. business.
OF course, they've put MIR. Coolidge where he won't
have to say much, but the mere selection of the
worlds outstanding Man of Silence may be signi-
ficant. 1t may mean that even the solicitors will
be less argumentative in the battle for new policy
holders.
Can you imagine Calvin Coolidge prolonging the
visit? Certainly not. The entire conversation would
be something like this:
Morning"
Morning"
Gould I interest you in a 2O-year endowment"
mo"
"a straight payment lfe?"
mot at all"
Good day!'
Good day!"
None Of the average insurance agents sales argu-
ment. No questions like, "But, my dear man, have
your wife and family without adequate insurance."
or, Don't you think you owe it to your children
to take out another $25,000?"
And no Where will you be at 65?"
Probably thousands OF insurance talks fail every
day because the agent doesn't know when to stop
talking.
That's where a man like Calvin Coolidge can be
of great service to the entire insurance business.
His very presence on the board Of one of the coun-
trys biggest life insurance companies should result
in an enormous conversation of natural gas.
Having accepted the nomination, MI. Coolidge will
be elected a director very soon, but it is still diff
ficult to believe that this is the job the former Presi-
rent had his eye on all last summer and fall. 1t
doesn't call for any glass ball, clay pigeon or turkey
shooting whatsoever.
Unless. of course, they're going to put Cal in
charge of the, collections.

Rupert stared in through the
window. His mind was baffled. It
was also irritated. He had been
perpared for an astounding sight.
and now he was astonished at the
absence of anything astounding.
About to climb in, he paused,
and turned. The laborer was at the
gate, standing outside, watching.
Was this an elaborate joke on the
iaborer's part? For an instant
Rupert concluded that it must be,
and his regard for the laborer de-
scended TO zero. The next instant
however he dismissed this theory
as absurd. The laborer vas obvious
ly genuine. He was as obviously
genuine as the floor Of the lounge
hall was eorpseless. Then the only
explanation could be hallucination.
He postponed his entry into the
house, and returned to the laborer.
Look here" he said. bluntly.
Have you been drinking?"
That's right" nodded the laborer.

"Wot's that?"

peared. What was that? Dead body

Go on!"
"And your door by the grand

told me it was open"

Its not any more. WHAT'S your

Ted applied his mind to it. Ru-
pert's own doubts entered into him.
"Pr'aps yer right" he muttered.
"'Ave a look in the shed, sir.
Browns there orl the time"
But Rupert shook his head. He
had examined the shed himself. and
he knew that Brown was not there.
