Lorrimer was glad to be once
more in the sunshine. He
golfed, played tennis and swan.
But he was disappointed, in that
he never seemed to be alone
with Mary Lou. She attracted
young people in amazing and
light hearted numbers.
LOrrimer Complains
And so he complained to her,
one night, when a moon rode
silver over the lake, and they
were coming back in the

houseboat party.

the people were, in the mag
nificent apartment houses along
the river, asking each other
how we supposed such people
had managed to keep out of the
clutches of the fearful slave
driver that had made us almost
hopeless slaves.
We timed ourselves-So long
to walk, so long to turn back,
another half hour now, our feet
hurt, our muscles ached, we
were often faint and ill, but we
kept each other up, and walked
and walked like two restless
ghosts, haunting for a time the
streets where sane and honest
people lived in decent self-re-
spect and balanced. sanity.
We tried to tire ourselves
out so that we would sleep.

I had decided to set my poor
husband free.
We no longer loved each
other-what was the use of ty-
ing ourselves together any
longer.
Poor Ric-I don't wonder he
lost patience with me.
Who wouldn't.
At first I used to cry about
him, but gradually his image
faded-until I would scarcely

Years and years ago-the very

fashions date back to-lovely

with ground rice or flour and

good for 1881. Discreet use of
cosmetics certainly goes with
ladylike fashions. Because it's
part of the careful grooming al
ways associated with real ladies.
Nobody likes to see shiny
noses or a complexion that looks
like the last stages of a decline.
And they aren't ladylike.

She did not answer, and the

Mary Lou had come armed or

was the same kind of rice the
convicts ate. DR.. Eijkman found
that it was polished rice, or in
other words, rice from which
the shell had been milled. He
decided to try an experiment,
so he gave healthy fowls polish
ed rice until they became al
most paralyzed, and then cured
them by adding rice shavings
to the polished rice.
When he ordered the con-
victs' diet changed frcm pol
ished to unpublished rice, the
disease beri-beri disappeared
from Dutch prison camps. No
wonder he was given the Nobel
prize.
Now DR.. Mellanby comes
with another kind of nervous
disease caused by some dietary
error. It is not exactly like
beri-beri because it consists Of
degeneration of the spinal cord,
while beri-beri was a neUritis-

vitamin is probably vitamin A,
for butter, cabbage and egg

prevent the cord degeneration.

THE BEAUTY
BOX

Ears are an interesting study.
They vary considerably in shape
and outline. Woman has an
advantage in being able to keep
her ears curtained with treSs-
locks. since few women have
pretty ones. Outstanding ears
on babies should be bandaged
at night; the best arrangement
is a cap made Of tape about one
inch wide. Adult ears can be
slapped back permanently by
the plastic surgeon. He takes
a tuck and two stitches and the
deed is done.
The second toe is the longest
one on the foot usually. It gets
a rough deal when the shoe is
too short. When pushed under
it develops into hammer toe
which, unless corrected in time.
must be amputated. The best
treatment for corns and cal
louses is running in sand.
The Washington times., 1931-03-13

The recent death Of Prof.
Eijkman brought to mind the
anniversary Of the discovery
of vitamins. For Prof. Eijkman
was the first man to produce a
disease in animals due entirely
to withholding a certain sub
stance in the food.
This was in 1896. The disease
was beri.beri. DR.. Eijkman had
been sent out to Java as a
physician employed by the
Dutch government. The young
doctor observed the pitiful con-
dition of the prisoners in the
prison camps, from paralysis
and dropsy of the legs. He
wondered what the cause could
be. And then one day he saw
some fowls in the yard of the
hospital to which he was at
tached. They were paralyzed
just as the poor convicts he
had been studying.
Cooked Rice Is Fed
He made inquiries. He found
the fowls were fed cooked rice

A Hotel Clerks Problem

highly successful hotel. And
some of the young lady guests

to me when their own boy
friends do not show up. I've

triple-plate armor against any
of Cupid'S arrows-but I find
I've fallen for one of them. l

I've been very short with her
lately, and then I noticed tears
in her eyes. I'm thinking Of
pulling out. What do think of
this business?
UNWILLING VICTIM.
Your love story has a regular
Horatio Alger plot. And if you
didn't read Horatio when you
were in the grade schools, he
was the author of many ro-
mances glorifying poor boys.
The idea was the same-the
poor boy did so we'll on his job
that he always married his en-

don't have to turn to Horatio

Shudder with disgust.
Everything was wrong-my
eyes were too high in my face,
my mouth was twisted to one,
side-I looked like some hideous
idol carved by some savage
hand.
Well that's the way the world
I lived in-the dope world-was.
It didn't just look that way
