The cereals are primarily energy
foods. They provide a high calo-ic
intake. but need to be supplemented
by milk and by other foods in order
TO serve the needs OF the living
organism The cereals constitute the
main portions Of the diets OF most
Of the people In the world. They
are usually digestible, although Ger
tain heavy breads. such as pumper
nickel, are digested with difficulty.
Rice Is n of the cereals which
constitutes a tremendous portion Of
the diets OF human beings. A GER
tain disease known as beriberi Is
due 10 the fact that the rice has
been polished. Polishing rice re-
moves the vitamin 3. There are
various forms OF nervous and diges-
tive disorders which are associated
with an absence OF vitamin B from
the diet.
Most OF the cereals are rich IN
carbohydrate. For example, three
tableSpoonfuls Of farina, Weighing
about n grams will contain three
grams Of protein, one-half gram
fat and q grams OF carbohydrates.

i.
When the Boss Is very peevish
and there's meaness in his eye,
When his every word and gesture
seems to make the feathers fly,
When it's very hard to please
him much, no matter what you do
And you've never seen him when
he looked so downcast and so blue;
When his talk is hardly civil and
he's ornery and mean
And you hesitate to cross him lest
you cause a bitter scene;
When he seems on verge Of break
down and in dire need Of rest
And he's just an irritation and a
nuisance and q pest
Then you know he's Just return
ed from his vacation at the shore
And will not get back 70 normal

II.
When your typist seems a stupid
and exasperating jane,
And the taking OF a letter seems
to cause her deepest pain;
When her typing's simply awful
and her punctuation worse
And her manner is distressingly

When she's slow and very sloppy
and dissatisfied as well
And there doesn't seem 70 be a
word in English she can spell;
When she isn't worth a nickel 70

And there is no type Of work
that she seems competent 10 do
Then the case is very clearly one
that's quickly understood

When the office boy Is sleepy and
averse TO any work
When he's chiefly interested In
new Jobs that he can shirk,
When he's never where you want
him and he's sullen If you call
And he spends the day at loafing
in the stockroom or the hall;
When he's insolent and snappy
and in fact a total loss
To the people he encounters and
a nuisance TO the boss;
When he hates to be OF service
and he likes to sit and loaf
And his conduct Is the conduct
Of a nitwit and an oaf-

When he snaps at any order, Say,

People wonder why you have her in
the house. She's been lunching with
him. She ever goes TO his Office.
II looks pretty bad. I hate being a
babbler. but you're such an innocent
l thought perhaps you ought to be
told"
Calmly Lame said. "It's all right.
I know all about it." She managed
a smile but her heart was lead in
her breast.
Muriel shrugged. "Well. I sup

a plying look. Don't be that way!"
Lame said Thanks for telling
me. l know you mean 1t in the
friendliest way but honestly every
thing is all right"
After Muriel had gone she walked
up and down, distraught.
There must be something H. all

Give is trying TO let me see 1t.
Perhaps he is Just giving me a
chance TO divorce him"
She tried to shut her eyes 70 the
possibility but Muriel's words made

As the dinner hour neared she

been for Give 70 drive Tressa home

Lame wandered back TO the
library. She picked I'D a book and
laid II down. With a wrap over her
shoulders she went into the garden
and watched the road. Down the
turnpike half a mile away the head
lights OF a steady procession OF
cars could be seen. None turned
into the drive.
As she went back into the house.
the hall clock chimed the half hour.
With an air OF decision she rang
the bell.
ELLEN. I'll dine alone. Mr.. Clees-

She could imagine the whisper

closed doors.
At 10 o'clock she went upstairs.
She thought. This Is the end. This

me-"
Trembling with anger she dis
robed. She turned out all the lights
