building credit plan was the greatest
step in aid of home ownership we have

mechanism by which BODYBUILDING
credit could flow from one section of
the country to the other, where

BOSTON, November IA - Recent

look, says the United Business Service
The strong rise in wheat, further ad-
vances in the price of silver, the in
crease in oil quotations and higher
bond prices are all marking the turn
toward better business. Although this
price movement has been primarily
speculative, it is encouraging that it is
being confirmed by a stability in the
major industrial indexes.

TIGER HEART
CHAPTER so

Kitty's remark that she was
Jealous of Mary Smith was in
the tempo Of a joke, but,
strangely, no one laughed.
Tracy himself grinned wryly.
That's not particularly funny,
DEAR" he said, reprovingly.
Evening was deepening with
dark, cool-like shadows under
the trees on the lawn. Connie
was conscious of vague, rest
less STRINGS in her breast.
The four of them were
together held, mechanically,
in a group; instinct, however,
prompted them to divide into
couples, yet even in this small
matter, there was the social
obligation to pretend the urge
was necessary.
How much easier, Connie
thought, it would have been
if she could have told Kitty
and Jim outright to go off
some place by themselves and
leave her with Duke Carson.
But such frankness lacked too
much courtesy; presently. a
decent excuse would present
itself; if not, the evening would
be artificially lost.
It developed, however, that
the evening was not entirely
lost. Jim Tracy saw to that.
His suggestion was that they
all drive in to the movies at
Stamford. With Kitty, he sug-
gested, he would drive his own
car, and Connie and Carson
could follow in Comics road
ster.
Comics Decision
"Oh, let's go!" exclaimed
Kitty, with the happy acqui-
essence of her fiance.
In almost no time Duke and
Connie were alone, with the
tail light of Tracy's car vanish
ing down the drive.
IT don't feel at all like the
movies, but we might as well
follow them" Connie said.
Come around to the garage
with me and we'll bring the
car out"
Walking beside her on the
gravel, Carson held her arm
above the elbow with his hand;
an intimacy of pressure, their
inequality Of steps, brought
them close together; a surge OF
comfort, of pleasure, invaded
Connie. No other man had
made her feel that way; why
had she stopped caring for

Jim Tracy-or had she ever
cared?
She wanted to understand
this sharp gladness in the pres
ence of Duke Carson, yet there
was no answer to her inner
query. Her mental searching
ended in futility, and she was
content to put aside all self
questioning and absorb the
sheer Joy of the present.
With Carson beside her in
the roadster they drove slowly
toward town.

HEALTH AND

You may have had this ex.
perience: You go somewhere
for dinner-restaurant or hotel.
The food is good. Tastes good.
Smells good. Is good. You go
home we'll satisfied.
Then in the middle of the
night-calamity. You wake UP.
You are nauseated. You think
it is only temporary. You close
your eyes and try to go to sleep.
1t is not temporary. You have
to get up. You vomit. Several
times. You wonder whether
you will die. You hope so. Di-
arrhea sets in and more vomit-
ing. Next day you are weak as
a cat. Can't touch a morsel
of food.
A New Explanation
EXplanations 1T was the
fish" 1T was the meat" THE
salad was contaminated" "Pto-
maine" Food poisoning"
Perhaps it was. But there is
a new and interesting explana-
ton. I believe a great many
cases of this kind can be ex.
planned on this basis. And since
1T can be prevented with care
I will tell it for w at it is worth.
1t was first discovered about
three or four years ago. There
was a banquet in a hotel in a
large city. The next morning
30 or more of the people who
attended came down with the
set Of symptoms I have de-
scribed. The management of
the hotel was worried. They
asked the commissioner Of
health to inspect the meat
served at the banquet. Nothing
was found in it or any of the
rest Of the food.
But as the chemist who was
making the investigation, was
passing through the pantry Of
the hotel he noticed. where
they were polishing the silver,
a peculiar odor. 1t was like
almonds. Could it be cyanide?
Analysed the Polish
He went over to the man
who was polishing the silver
and saw that his hands and
arms were stained dark metal
lie hue. The chemist took
some of the silver polish they
were using and analyZed it. It
contained 81 per cent of a salt
of cyanide-a deadly poison.
There is no question that
this discovery was the explana-
ton of the epidemic of illness
among the banqueters. The
little amount that was left on
the silver, when it got into
their stomachs was not enough
to kill, but only to make them
sick. The reason some es-
capped being sick was probably
that all the utensils did not
have the cyanide on equally.
On some forks and knives and
spoons it clung. On others it
was completely washed or
rubbed off.

HOUSEHOLD
HINTS

When boots or shoes are very
wet, fill them with warm bran
and leave until the leather Is
quite dry. This is much safer
than drying before a fire.
To remove stains from an
aluminium saucepan, boil some
slices of lemon in the pan for
about half an hour, Then rub
well with dry block salt.
Cracks or scratches on furni-
ture should be filled with soft
ened beeSwax. Then rub over
the surface with a cloth dipped
in equal parts of linseed oil
and turpentine.
Eucalyptus oil, slightly heated,
is an excellent remedy for a
sore throat. Apply to the skin
with a piece Of flannel, rubbing
it well in.

Fortunately for me, both my
mother and my father had
sufficiently improved in health
so as to be up and about.
Soon my mother had completely
recovered, and, thank God'
never once since has she been

It was Blanche Sweet.

Only the most extravagant
stretch Of fancy would find any
resemblance between the blond
rhaired Blanche and myself.
Yet I was thrilled. 1t was an
illusion which I allowed to trick
and intrigue me to the absorp-
ton of everything else.
I was movie-struck.
Several days later I ran
across an advertisement in a
morning newspaper. 1t was
for a number of extra girls
for a motion picture produc-
ton by G. M. CBronco Billy'D
