Daily Health
Talk

1t is essential. OF course. that the
diet OF the growing child contain
plenty Of vitamin A substances.
Evidence has been accumulated
which indicates that carotin. which
is the yellow coloring matter in
carrots and in other foods. has
vitamin A properties.
Vitamin A is not developed in the
animal body. as Is vitamin ID. the
rickets-preventing vitamin. Hence,
1t Is necessary that products be
chosen because of their richness IN
this substance.
The liver fats OF the salmon and
the halibut are richer in vitamin A
than is cod liver oil. The sheep,
calf and oxen livers contain 10 times
as much vitamin "A as does good cod
liver oil. and 200 TO 1000 times more
vitamin A than a good average
sample Of butter.
Vitamin A seems, along with
vitamin +. to bear some relationship
to the ability OF an animal to repro
duce. DEFICIENCIES OF vitamin A are
reflected in the chemistry Of the
blood. Quite recent investigations
have shown the definite evidence
that yitamin A does play . part is

James Kemp, So, is an example of supreme poise.
he is a steeplejack VINO was working at the top of a 49,
!oot chimney in Rochester, n. Y, when the scaffolding
broke. His companion fell to the ground and was killed.
Kemp grasped a rope and landed on a narrow chimney
ledge. He faced death for two hours. Firemen tried to
rescue him but their ladders were too short. Planes tried
to lower ropes, but a stiff wind blew them away. Finally
ropes, which made a swing, were tossed over the Chin
ney and the old steeplejack came down.
When he was safe he quietly explained that he knew
better than to let the thing get him. He wouldn't think
about danger, he said. Practically everyone can profit
from his experience. Human nature has a habit of flying
off the handle that would prove dangerously disastrous
if something went wrong at the top of a 150-foot chimney.

Humanism Survives

When the members of the new British cabinet went
into session the other day every man was wearing a sprig
of heather on his coat lapel. Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald had brought it from the Scottish Highlands.
The others saw it. And somehow or other they forgot
political dissension, the financial status of the country, the
economic depression-all the other measures that are
challenging their ingenuity while they remembered some
thing simpler. and lovelier. Each man asked for a piece,
as a good luck token.
But if the heather has charm it will come from its
influence, simple and wholesome, on the group of states
men who were great enough to be interested in the COM
monplace, for a few minutes.

Golf Clubs
The DRIVER Is q wooden club
With which to smack the ball:
1t breaks the heart to ev'ry dub
BY smacking not at all
The BRASSIE like the driver Is.
Excepting for its face:
You use II to get on the green
But 60 some other place.
The DRIVING IRON is to use
When wood won't do as well;
The distance that 1t makes you lose
VIII cause your score to swell.
Then there's the iron NUMBER
TWO
The difference. you see.
Is very great, perhaps. to YOU
But not so much to me.
Then there's the THREE, the
FOUR and FIVE
Each has its special shot;
On some holes they will do to drive,
But mostly they will not.
The NIBLICK Is q club quite odd
To use when you're in trouble;
II digs up gravel. sand and sod
And causes score to double.
The PUTTER'S purpose. sir, Is this,
To cut a golfers score;
You use 1t till you cannot miss
The darned hole any morel
The TEE Is just a bit of wood
To raise the ball up high.
So II you miss II where you stood
You still will have q "lie".
The GOLF BAG is a sort Of sack,
It's used, as you surmise.
TO see the caddie doesn't lack
Sufficient exercise.
The LOCKER ROOM is Just a place
To 90 when you are through
To alibi your lack Of grace
And get a little stew.

Great Service Well Done

Two Chicago men. mail carriers for 40 years, and
intimate friends, retired from service on pensions the
other day. Each one had walked 100000 miles, accord
ing to an estimate.
Through snow and sleet and rain, or under burning
July suns, Henry Serenson and Charles M. Nelson, both
SO years old, have been faithful to their service. They
had a trust to perform. Peoples secrets, their hopes and
joys and sorrows, were enclosed in the envelopes that
these two men carried, and they were true to their task.
The two mail carriers merely did their duty of
course. But remaining true to one definite. course for 40
years, performing a task well, long after its novelty is
gone, is a significant thing.

Companionship Necessary

Charles Hardenberg, who has lived alone on Little
Watts Island, about 10 miles from Crisfield, Md, for the
last % years has finally found the mystery of life, it
would appear. Hardenberg, known as the Hermit of
Watts Island" was married the other day.
In 1908, at the age of SO, he left his law practice and
went to live on the island. Evidently loneliness is not so
pleasant that it takes a permanent hold, for Hardenberg,
after years and years of such solitude, has given it up.
History has proved, over and over again, that peo-
pie have a desire to congregate. The %scriptural injunction
which said that man cannot live by bread alone still
holds true. He needs companionship, and an interest in
something that is larger than the scope of his immediate
personal activities.

New York
Letter

NEW YORK-Excerpts from q
letter to a certain Canadian guide,
known to me only as Mac.
Running around through the
city crowds again, Mac, I found
myself chuckling at that talk we
had by the camp fire about city
folk who laugh at rubes and back
woodsmen. And you smiled and
you smiled and said ! ought 10
drop around some time and listen
to the shrieks that went up when
guides got together TO sfap yarns
about the city folks they had taken
into the woods.
And now that it's all over with,
I'll come clean about that big
trout on the string. You can tell
the fellows in the camp that you
caught 1t. / don't know why we
lie about such matters at the time,
but a lot of US do. 1t doesn't make
a bit OF difference to you whether
or not you display a nice string.
and SO I don't expect you TO worry
about how a tenderfoot gets that
way. Please don't tell the bunch
up there how I let that whopper
get away from me the first day.
And I will not spill how you snag-
ged that nice one with a quick
jerk Of your fly.
But there's something New
Yorkese or Chicagoesque about the
way you told me OF a moose hunt
OF course, you didn't know that.
But I don't think I'll come up this
fall. That last sentence you put
on your description has stuck In
nv mind. II had a bit too much
imagination in 1t for comfort. II
I ever go moose hunting, I'm
afraid I'll keep remembering It.
Maybe you've forgotten. But
you went on to tell how the hunt
ers rose in the chill, early dawn;
how a couple Of EN- would take a
long swig OF whiskey TO warm up.
Then you went down TO the bog.
You got out the little bark horn
and gave the call Of the female
moose After a time from some
where, miles away in the woods,
came an answer. Some poor
moses heart sxipped a couple Of
beats probably at the notion Of a
rendezvous and he came slowly
crashing his way through the
brush to the trysting place.
Then, as I remember. you went
on: And then we stand and wait.
And there's q lot of excitement
because you don't know what
minute the old fellow Is going to
show up. And you don't know
whether he's going to scent you.
You don't even dare smoke. You
don't dare call very often. or he'll
get wise. Maybe after a half hour
or SO you dare call again to figure
out where your moose is.
And all Of a sudden out ne
comes. And gosh. he must be sur
prised to find out that stead Of a
sweetheart waiting for him. he
walks into a dozen bullets
That's the bit that hit my i'm
aginationl Maybe I'm too senti-
mental. or maybe I've been reading
too many stories about gangs and
racketS. You probably haven't
heard the slang. put on the spot
And maybe you remember that !
commented at the time, That
sounds like a devil OF a dirty
trick And YOU chuckled and said
I wouldn't feel that way II I was
one of the hunters. I guess II was
just the way YOU said: Instead
he walks into a dozen bullets-he
shore must be surprised
Anyway. I wish / could wake
ND again in the morning beside a
waterfall. and I'm coming up
again some time 10 take lessons in
polling a canoe back up a rapids,
particularly when the waters low
and the canoe Is loaded. And best
regards"

throughout a talking drama which
was neither very funny nor very

picture glowed with n haze or TO

Each evening he reappeared be-

read a volume Norma had IN
earthed in the public library. "Psy-

was the title or the book.

Bitter. bitter words one after the
other. Bitterness and discourage
ment and reckless defiance. II had
been three weeks since Mark and
Norma had returned to Marlboro.
During that time the girl had often
seen Mark discouraged but never SO
bitterly defiant.
There had been half a dozen
nights like the previous one when
he had not returned to the apart
ment until near dawn. There had
been times when he had asked her
for car fare from the household
money.
Norma turned to the tiny gas
stove. your coffee's cold" she said
steadily. Wait q minute and I'll
have some more boiling"
Five minutes later Mark was
drinking the piping hot beverage.
The outburst had ended. He was
subdued and quiet now.
Across the table Norma began
hesitatingly. -I've been thinking.
