A Lost Paradise

There is one paradise which small boys of today ma,
never know.
A paradise more wonderful than all the educationa
movies and radios and automobiles that another age ha.
brought. The livery stable, that mecca Of freedom where
mothers never ventured, has gone away.
There isn't any place where a sporting fraternity can
gather to tell queer tales while boys eyes grow bigger
and their legs grow weaker as the yellow lamps flicker
and the democratic and sulky and prim little gig cast
wobby shadows up and down the walls. There isn't
any place where cockfighters bring their birds to try
them out in preparation for . grander event. and loafera
spit at cracks and never miss.
Livery stables always held strange magic for a boy
Gay beneath the red and yellow signs that Haunted the
dazzling charms Of q coming circus the old barns nestled
securely. Within there were more charms than Alad-
dins lamp could ever conjure. There were horseshoe
nails to be slipped surreptitiously into pockets. There
were horsehairs that were useful in the matchmaking
experiment which was tried In the family ~rainbarrel.
Sometimes q boy was allowed to help feed and water
the horses, OF to accompany the stableman Is he went
through the stalls. his lantern making queer shadows on
the warm, dark walls, as he looked to see II the horses
were properly blanketed for the night. And to be asked

9. Why does thunder seem to
roll?. M. w. III
A. The Weather Bureau says the
long duration Of thunder is owing
mainly to the fact that the several
parts of a streak of lightning are at
different distances from the observer
and that sound travels at the rate of
about q mile in five seconds. Reflec-
ton of the sound from clouds and
other objects also helps to produce
the long, drawn-out roll sometimes
heard. - -"

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Broken Cartilage

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Broken Cartilage
Question: w. j. C. asks: "Will
you tell me how to treat a broken
cartilage of the knee? Some doctors
want to cut it out. Is that the right
thing to do?"
Answer: In some cases a broken
cartilage will grow back again if you
are willing to stay quiet for a long
time, much the same as you would be
forced to do with a broken bone; but
the operation is a simple one with
little danger if performed by a skilled
bone surgeon.
Needed Elements
Question: Mrs. A. j. S. asks: IF a
certain part of the body is lacking in
some necessary element and an over
abundance of that element is includ-
ed in the diet to correct the under
nourished part, might not the large
quantities of this food affect the rest
Of the body seriously, o would the
clement automatically be carried to
the part that was needing it and no.
where else?"
Answer: All of the soft tissues of
the body are composed of practically
the same elements. The greatest
variation is in the bones, which con-
tain a larger amount of certain min
erals. If enc lives on a ell-balanced
diet it is not necessary to select n
particular food containing certain
elements, as the body will make it's
selection of needed elements from the
foods used.
Weak Mentality
Question: Mrs. C. E. j. writes: 81
am married to a man who is perfect
~ normal in every way but he has
one brother who hasn't average men
His mother likewise doesn't
seem any too bright. I'm afraid to
risk having children, and would like
know if I would be taking too great
chance If I did"
Answer: There is no danger if Won
husband is physically and mentally
normal.
