Had Your vitamin A.?

The richest plant source of vitamin
A is thin green leaves Of spinach as
it has the higest content of any COM
mon vegetable which has been inves-
tigated. Roots and tubes generally
contain little vitamin A, but carrots
must be especially noted because they
are nearly as rich as spinach. Green
peas contain a little less than spinach.
Investigations have shown that lack
of vitamin A in the diet tends to allow
the development of eye troubles.

ENGINEERS RULES AID AUTO
DRIVERS

The rules drilled into the locomotive
engineer, if practiced by automobile
drivers, would aid materially in
diminishing traffic accidents.
Three important practices demanded
of engineers follow:
Unless you are sure, slow down to a
speed at which you can stop IN half
the distance you can see.
Keep your eye on the road.
Keep your brakes in condition to
stop.

Choose Common Breeds of Turkeys

Generally, it is a mistake to raise
breed of turkeys that are unusual.
When going into the business, take a
breed that is popular in the conamun-
ity. The profit in turkeys depends
somewhat on the price received, and
the price depends on market require
ments. When turkeys fone size,
type and quality are grown in one
community, it is easier to get buyers
and attract profitable prices.

So Worthless

A quarrel is thing that's so futile
Especially one that is mean.
And while we are snarling
And bitterly quarreling,
We poison ourselves with our spleen.
And most of the quarrels we indulge in
Are mere Triviality's child
thing that should shame us,
And they they inflame us,
To actions and words that are Wild.
And what is the good we accomplish
I haven't discovered it yet.
There's no one the gamer
And when We are saner
How often our words we regret
The days are too precious to spoil them
With pickering, quarreling and strife
For when we are scrapping
And snarling and swapping
We also are shortening our life.

The work ~engrossed our atten.
ton most entirely, and by the
time it was complete the rain
had passed away and the glorious
sun again shone brightly forth.
Our front door was just wide
enough to admit of TIE egress OF
our boat, and We completed her
construction in the open air. We
quickly cased the sides and deck
with sealskin, making all the
seams thoroughly watertight with
caoutchouc.
The cajack was indeed a curl
GUS looking craft, yet so light
that she might be lifted easily
with one hand, and when at
length we launched her she bound
ed upon the water like an India
rubber ball. Fritz was unanimous
ly voted her rightful owner, but
before his mother would hear of
his entering the frafl looking skiff
she declared that she must con-
trive a swimming dress. that
SHOULD his boat receive a pune
ture from a sharp rock or the
dorsal fin of a fish and collapse,
he might yet have a chance of
saving his life"
Though l did not consider the
cajack quite the soap bubble the
mother imagined it, l yet willingly
agreed to assist her in the con-
struction of the dress.
The garment we produced was
most curious in appearance, and
i must own that l doubted it's
efficiency. 1t was like a double
waistcoat, made of linen prepared
with a solution of India rubber,
the seams being likewise coated
with c~aoutchouc, and the whole
rendered perfectly alright. We so
arranged it that one little hole
left, by means of which air
could be forced into the space
between the outer covering and
the lining, and the dress inflated.
Meanwhile l perceived with
pleasure the rapid vegetation the
climate vas producing. The seeds
we had scattered had germinated,
and were now promising magnif-
icent crops. The veranda, too, was
looking pleasant with its gay and
sweet-scented creepers, which were
aspiring to the summit

whittier we followed in n of
our boats.
The experiment was most sue
cessful, and Ernest, Jack, and
Franz, in spite of their laughter
at their brothers garment, begged
their mother to make for each
of them a similar dress.
While on the island we paid
a visit to the colonists whom we
had established there the previ-
Gus autumn. All were we'll; we
could perceive by the footprints
that the antelopes had discovered
and made use of the shelter we
had erected for them, and feeling
that we could do nothing more
we scattered handfuls of maize
and salt, and ~strolled across to
the other side of the island. The
shore was covered with lovely
shells, many of which, with beau
tiful pieces if delicate coral, the
boys collected for their museum;
strewn by the edge of the water
too lay a great quantity of sea-
weed of various colors, land as
the mother declared that much of
it was of use, the boys assisted
her to collect it and store it in
the boat. AS we pulled back to
the land / was surprised to see
that my wife chose from among
the seaweed a number of curious
leaves with edges notched like a
saw. When we reached home she
carefully washed these and dried
them in the oven. There was evil
something mysterious about
this preparation, and my curiosity
at length prompted me to make
an attempt to discover the secret.
Are these leaves to form a
substitute for tobacco?" said /;
"do you so long for it's refresh
ing smell?"
My wife smiled, for her dislike
to tobacco was well known, and
she answered in the same jocular
tone:
"Do you not think that a mat
stuffed with these leaves
would be very cool in summer"
The twinkle in here eyes show
ed me that my curiosity mus,
still remain unsatisfied, but it
nevertheless became greater than
aver.
The boys and / had one day
made a long and fatiguing expe-
and, tired out, we flung
ourselves down in the veranda. AS
We lay there resting, we heard

tasting it. 1t was indeed delicious,
and, still marveling from whence
the mother could have obtained
a dish so rare, we disposed of
all that she had set before us.
AHA" laughed the mother, sis

my dear wife," exclaimed l.,
this dish is indeed a master
piece of culinary art, but where
had you met with it? What put
it into your head?"
while staying with my Dutch
friends at the Cape" replied she,
Il often saw it, and at once rec
ognized the leaves on Shark
Island. Once knowing the secret,
the preparation of the dish is ex-
tremely simple; the leaves are
soaked in water, fresh every day,
for a week, and then boiled for
a few hours with orange juice,
citron, and sugar"
We were all delighted with the
delicacy, and thanked the mother
for it most heartily, the boys de-
claring that they must at once
go off again to the island to col
lect as many of the leaves as
they could find. l agreed to ac-
company them, for | wished to
examine the plantations we had
made there.

cast at random among the cliffs

promised to clothe the nakedness
of the frowning powders.
Away up among the rocks, too,
we discovered a bright sparkling
spring of delicious water, at

we saw that the antelopes must
have refreshed themselves.
Finding everything so satisfac~
tory, We were naturally anxious
to discover how our colony and
plantations on Whale Island had
Jared. 1t was evident at a glance
that the rabbits had increased;
the young tender shoots of the
trees bore the marks of many
greedy, mischievous little teeth.
The %cocoanut palms alone had
they spared.
Such depredations as these
could not be allowed, and with
the help of the boys I erected
round each stem a hedge of prick
ly thorn, and then prepared again
to embark; before we did so, how
ever, I noticed that some of the
seaweed had also been gnawed
by the rabbits, and wondering
what it could have been to tempt
them, l collected some of it to
examine more fully at home.
The skeleton of the whale, too
attracted our attention, for, pick
ed clean by the birds and bleach
ed by the sun and rain, the bones
had been purified to a most per-
feet wilderness. Thinking that the
joints of the vertebrae might be
made of use, / separated some
ten or twelve, and rolled them
down to the boat, and then re-
turned to the shore, towing them
after us.

Synopsis: Her love twice thwart- cd by death, Dagger Marley, niece ef Texas ranchman, seeks peace on a trip abroad. Her first love, Blaine Howard, was killed or the Western Front in France. Her second, Captain John Vaneering war ace, whom she married, died in an airpiane crash. In Paris Dagger meets the Due de Pontoise, a French nobleman who also falls in love with her, but she rejects his proposal of marriage. She cher ishes the memory of Howard, even more than that of her dead hus- band, and resolves to follow around the world the route of pilgrimage he made, seeking from friends in Africa, China and India the an- swer to the riddle of life. The first, Sidi Marut, an Arab, she finds in Algiers. Hc promises to let her know socn whether he will comply with her request to be taken into the deeert to learn the teachings of his people.

 Plainly, whatever prsparationshe had to make would require this much time. and Dagger set herself to find entertainment and diversion for it's duration. Being restless, she soon exhausted the attractions of Algiers, and journeyed hither and thither at will, choosing her dirac- ticn arbitrarily in accordance with what she was told she might expect in certain places.
 She whiled away the interval as best she could, visiting corners that had escaped her, playing bridge with a success which drew atten- ton she disliked, writing a long letter to Uncle Jim, who had cabled petulantly inquiring when she planned to come home.
