Health and Right Living
By ROYAL s. COPELAND, M. ID.
Former Commissioner OF Health.

Your poor oldsliver is a much
abused organ. 1t is called d O 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 1t 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 o
such agents than the liver can de-
stroy or modify without undue
effort.
Inc liver is a laboratory where
wonderful things are done. It Is its
junction to work over" the poi-
sonouS things and feed them into
the general blood circulation 10
slowly, or so changed, that they do
US no harm.
n IL were not for this remark
able action, these poisons would
get immediately into the general
piood supply and life would be
pretty doubtful. AS it is, however.
tnlS much-abused liver does Us q
good turn many times a dav. n
Is n OF u best friends.
One Of the faults of modern ,ifa
is the consumption Of foods that
make for constipation and fer
mentatlon in the bowel. Germ ac-
tion e on and poisons are de-
Veloped which are bad for us.
Ii is not well for us to overlook
the evil effects Of CONSTIPATION
mere a be no doubt that IL Is
capable Of doing us real harm
Except for the -7atchful care of The
liver. in filtering out these poisons
we would certainly suffer far more
than we do. 0
NO longer do we talk of "biIlious-
ness as our ancestors did. bl,t IL

son is hampered in his work hv

Washington Letter
Rv C. PIINInfFR
BY HERBERT C. PLUMNIER

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Washington gossip
picked up at random.
With the special session Of congress on the imme-
date horizon the new women members are digging
into Washington.
Rep. Ruth Baker Pratt of New York has leased
Evermay, one of the historic estates of old George
town. Several years ago the owners spent $4,000 III
restoring the house and developing the gardens.
Rep. Ruth Hanna Mccormick has bought the
greater part of a block in Georgetown. There are
three houses on the property, quaint, old fashion,
ed structures, which she proposes to throw together.
The surrounding yards" will be converted into a
spacious garden, with rolling stretches of lawn.
Meanwhile she is living in the home of Warren De-
lano Robbins, United States minister to Salvador.
Rep. Ruth Bryan Owen has elected to make her
permanent home on capitol hill to be near her Of
flee, and has taken an apartment in the Methodist
building.

and you amt standin there. Why,
didn't / tell yer" he went on, with
slight indignation. II went orl ho-
yer the 'ouse? And when I come
out again, the deader was still there,
and the door was still hopen. This
weren't no dream, sir. Dreams is
fuzzy"
"Righto," responded Rupert, re-
signedly. II believe you. Like to
go over the uose again with me?"

er. But I don't mind waitin' ere,
jest ter make sure yer come out

"That'1l do" said Rupert. with a
smile. If I don't come out again,
say, in half an hour, you can come
in and collect the pieces"
The grim joke was not ~appreciat-

tered Ted. Il amt made of con-
crete!"
Nevertheless Rupert was con-
WINGED that, if he did not come out
again in half en- hour, the laborer
would follow him, whatever he was
made Of. Spiritually speaking, Ted
was made of something better than
concrete.
Twenty seconds later, Rupert was
in the house. He stood for a mo-
ment in the lounge hall. to get the
CONFORMATION of the place. The
lounge hall was large and roomy.
Behind him was the open window.
Also behind him, a little to the
right, was the front door. Ahead he
yond the large, faded square carpet
that covered the floor, were the as
cending stairs. A door on his right,
near the front of the house, led to
a large room ASsumedly the dining
room. The locked door was nearer
the back of the hall, just before
the silent grandfather clock. On
the left was a door to another re-
ception room, while a passage at
the rear led to the servants quar-
tiers.

then the upper floor. He found

DAWN MEN
BY Arthur d. Carpenter

BY Arthur ID. Carpenter
Most all prehistoric races are
known by their fossil remains, but
the two oldest known races-the
Foxhall dawn man and the Bram-
ford or sub crag dawn man Of
East Anglia-give evidence OF hav-
ing lived only by the survival Of
the flint tools which they made.
The Foxhall man made five kinds
of small flints, and the Bramford
man produced the rostro-carinate
flints. Rostra-carinate means
beak-keeled, and the worked r Rts
have the appearance Of the >p.E
Of a boat turned up at the keel.
Biologists place these dawn men"
at more than a million years ago,
before the first glacial period.

CHAPTER v

CL1hE LEU AN1l
Rupert stared in through the
window. His mind was baffled. It
was also irritated. He had been
prepared 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
laborer'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 was obvious
ly genuine. He vas Is obviously
genuine as the floor of the lounge
hall was corpseleSs. 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.
Found a case of champagne in
the shed and tossed orr a couple
O. Dozen"
"Shut up! I'm serious!"
"Are yer? Well, if yer serious,
wot's the good of arskin' a queshun
like that? 'Corse I amt been drink
in'l Hopportunity's a fine thing,
amt it?"
Fright. You've not been drink
ing. But have you been dreaming?"
"Ah,, that's more like it, sir. 1
dremp a bagful in that there ditch!"
perhaps you dreamt about a
body lying on the floor in there?9
"Wotcher mean?" demanded Ted.
"Nah-that weren't no dream"
well your dead body has got
UP and walked away"
"Wot's that?"
TIE irony of Ted's eyes disap-
peared. What was that? Dead body
walked away?
Il say your dead body has gone
for a joy ride"
go on!"
And your door by the grand
father clock has closed itself. You
told me it was OPEN"
1T was!"
ITS not any more. What's your
explaantion?"
Ted applied his mind to it. Ru-
pert's own doubts entered into him.
"P'r'apS yer right" he muttered.
Gave 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.
well, there yer are said the la
borer, although he really had very
little idea of where they were. "E's
CORN. And the corpse as CORN.
That's about the size of it. II one
pops orr, why shouldn't t. other?"
The logic was faulty, as Rupert
pointed out.
Brown could pop orr because he
was alive" he retored. "a dead
man can't pop off. Don't be a silly
fool! You know, it's really much
more likely that Browns nerves and
YOUR nerves got the better OF you
last highland Brown ran away
and you saw things"
This was the theory that Ted
wanted to accept. 1t was a nice,
comfortable theory A pleasing, sim
pie explanation. He struggled hard
to accept it but finally gave up.
IF that deader wern't lynn on
the floor when I locks in larst
night" he said. land if that door
wasn't hopen, I amt standin' ere,

A Minnesota congressman demands the appoint
nent of an Indian commissioner to handle the affairs
Il the wards Of the government. An Indian is the
'hief hlrnorist of the United States. An Indian Is

JOHNS FIANCEE LEFT OUT

Washington thought it rather odd that the first
wedding present went to John Coolidge instead of to
his fiancee, Florence Trumbull. The bride-to-be was
not even mentioned in the gift presented by chiefs
OF diplomatic missions in the capital.
The gift, a great silver bowl with four matching
candlesticks, is inscribed:
