Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, M. D.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.
I was recently visited by a
gentleman who profesSed to be
a vegetarian and who under
took to convert me to that faith.
There are, as you know, two
kinds Of vegetarians-the first
kind are those who refrain
from meat for purely selfish
reasons, i.e., because they be-
lieve it will injure their chances
Of staying upon this planet a
long time. The other kind are
those who deplore the eating of
meat because it involves the
slaughter of animals.
OF this second sort was my
visitor. He was a fundamen-
talist vegetarian. He described
with graphic detail the suffer
ing which animals endure dur
ing death, despite the fact that
he and 1 were both undoubtedly
doomed to endure the same
sort of unpleasant experience.
During his argument I had
an opportunity to observe him
and when he was finished I
asked:
What are the frames of
your SpectacleS made off"
He removed them and super
ciliously replied, They are
horn-rims."
Where" I asked, "do they
get the horns?"
Il don't know"
well, not off trees"-I sug-
gested. And then your shoes
they appear to be of leather"
He gazed upon them and ad-
mitted that was possible.
Must have killed a COW to
furnish them" I said. And
your hat-that felt hat-I be-
lieve rabbits are slaughtered to
make that material. At least
you don't suppose they clip
rabbits to get the fur, do
you?"
My visitor rose in consider
able dudgeon at this and picked
up his brief case.
"By the way" I said, that
brief case appears to be made
of pig skin"
But he had gone before l had
a chance to warn him not to
sit on my leather-covered chair,

Of Beauty Always

OF beauty always has the poet
sung,
Of loveliness of glance, or line,
or scent;
The silver stars against nights
shadow swung.
The young moon dangling in
the armament,
The rose, and lark, and mount
ing wave, and mist
The shining beaches swept with
golden light.
Rare chrysoprase, and pearls,
and amethyst
Make warp and woof of every
bard's delight.
And he has sought for beauty,
till he finds
Some trace of it in even the
loWliest place;
Its petals strewn where every
roadway winds,
It's fleeting look on each
familiar face.
He has become a prophet and
a seer
Whose quest of beauty brings
it ever near.

more. 1t was now only slightly
above normal and his entire
arm had resumed normal color.
Three days after the acci-
dent the boy was out working
with me again. I tried to get
him to rest for a few days
but he wouldn't hear of it. He
felt we'll again, he assured me,
and insisted on working. AS
a matter of fact, he was still
pretty weak, but he was Sc
overjoyed to know that he was
not going to die that work
even in his rundown state
meant nothing to him. 1 saw
to it that he did not exert
himself until his strength had
fully returned.
A Cheerful Chap
After this occurrence Lal
would follow me anywhere.
There was no task, no matter
how dangerous. that he did not
cheerfully perform. If the mas
ter was willing to take the
risk, why should he, Lal, hest
tate? That was his guiding
principle.
I always felt that Lal gave
me too much credit. All my
efforts would have availed
naught if he had been in a
rundown condition. An anemic
Lal would have Succumbed as
sure as fate.
Well, that was that. Zoo
logically, the experience had
one unfortunate aspect. That
hog badger eluded me and 1
was never able to get another
one.
On many occasions I have
had to do first-aid work on
myself, sometimes with the as
SiStance of others. I have no
intention of enumerating all
these cases. But perhaps you'd
like to hear about one that
managed to become fairly anus

The felts we will deal with
later, but the wool and dark
silk crepes are so important
right now that we must talk
about them right away. They
are a good transition step be-
tween summer and fall, so are
being bought already by the
dozens and scores. There's
nothing radical or very differ
ent about their shapes, except
that they're taking a tip from
Paris, and are being worn
further and further over on the
right side, often over the right
eye, too. The best of the sum-
mer brimmed hats have been
copied again for fall in wool
crepe, stitched the same way,

CHAPTER THIRTY.sIx

Unlike other cases I knew of
where natives were in similar
circumstances, Lal did not grow
deliriouS. He kept repeating
Master, I think I die" but he
had a complete awareneSs of
what was going on.
When I asked him a question
he would give me a rational
answer and then begin sobbing
once more, Master, I think
die. Master, l think 1 die"
Needless to say, 1 kept tell
ing him he was talking none
sense, although, when his arm
turned black, secretly agreed
with him.
Now that the permanganate
crystals were doing their work
I began the process of remov-
ing the tourniquet. 1 started
by gradually easing it up and
then 1 took it off entirely.
Late that night gave the
boy a good dose of quinine.
I knew it would help his morale
If I sat up all night with him
and this 1 did, doing off
occasionally in a chair.
Several times during the
night the boy complained of
a terrific pain in his arm and
of a stiffness that had set in.
1 told him that was a good
sign, that it meant he was
getting better. Of course, 1
hadn't the faintest idea what
it meant. But this was no
time for making such admis-
sions. If I had any idea at
all it was that Lal Behudar,
the best Hindu boy I had ever.
employed, was dying.
Another Dose
At daybreak I gave the boy
another Sizeable dose of qui-
nine. The pain and the stiff
ness seemed to be letting up
and I took it as a good sign
when he dozed off for an hour
or so.
BY 6 o'clock that morning,
to my astonishment, the black
ness had gone out of the
shoulder and normal healthy
color was gradually working
down the arm. I took the
boys temperature and my
amazement continued when I
discovered that it had dropped
to 99.5 degrees,
I began to feel for the first
time that La! was getting bet
ter. The most reassuring sign
was that there had been no
convulsions. Il there we're to
be any they would have set in
by now, and I was genuinely
happy as I realized that the
boy who had served me faith
fully over so long a period of
time was probably out of the
woods at last.
Late that afternoon the boys

Hats usually come out early,
casting tall shadows before
them, forecasting the whole
tone of the clothes for the sea-
son. Remember what a turmoil
we were in this time last year,
Think of the Empress EugenieS
that were stirring up so much
controversy, that made us throw
away all our old hats, many of
them better than the tip-tllted
substitutes that we bought, and
in turn, threw away when they
became so much overdone. This
year we have no such excite
ment. The early hats are as
sensible as can be, but smart
none the less. Perhaps we will
have something more exciting
by the time we start wearing
them all the time, but so far,
there's not a great deal of
prophesy in them.

at the foot Of the stairs.

Larry looked at her appeal

Advice for
Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Wants to Go without a Coat
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 have had a quarrel with
the man 1 have been going
with, over a mere trifle, yet to
my idea it means a lot. He
thinks it is proper to take me
out and not wear a coat, and
1 contend it is very ungentle-
manly and refuse to go with
him. This has led to our
parting.
1 care very much for this
young man, and I am sure he
cares for me, although he is
very stubborn and insists he is
justified in his determination
not to wear coat. am not
stuck up, but 1 have my ideas,
and I do think man owes this
respect to a girl, don't you?
T. w.
Your letter is poStmarked
from a city almost in the trop-
les, and after making some in
quiries 1 hear that young men
in that locality do sometimes
go coatless when taking their
girls out. Belts, never suspend
erS, are worn with this in
formal attire. But when the
boy friend knows you object to
this, and linen, pongee and seer
sucker coats are cool enough
for any one, I don't see why he
objects to wearing one.
Keep Putting Off Wedding Date
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been going with a
young man two and one-half
years. We have been engaged
one year and one-half. Last
year he said right after New
Year we'd get married. His
mother got i'll and then he said
we'd get married in June. Well,
June has come and gone now,
and he hasn't even limited of
marriage. Do you think I should
speak to him about it? If so,
how should I go about it?
Please solve this for me. Thank
you very much.-WORRYING.
It's not unlikely that ex-
penseS connected with his
mothers illness may have very
seriously altered your fiance's
plans. At the same time you're
entitled to know how he feels
about marrying you. Why not
ask him just that? You may
say that you had in mind get
ting some things together for
your future home, linens and
such things, but as he'd said
nothing lately about any we'd
ding plans you'd like to know
how he felt about it. Don't
do this in a demanding sort of
way, but very gently find out
what is called his Intentions"

a short distance, then suddenly
put on the brakes. The car
pulled up at the curb.

startled into sudden wakeful-
ness.

her voice trailed off.

Larry, taking her tenderly in

tested Blonde, but she snug
gled a little closer.
Suddenly Larry kissed her,
holding her close to him.

she pulled away.
Gould you like me?"
II could love you," Blonde
admitted quietly.
Have you been happy-with
me?"
Don't be a sill"
Larry took her into his arms
and kissed her again tenderly,
affectionately.
Il gotta go home" Blonde
protested, pushing him gently
away from her.
DO you want to see me
often?"
"I don't want to let you go
now" and Blonde held him off.
I'D like to drive on and on
and on, and never come back
just the two of U.S."
"On and on and on!" Blonde
echoed dreamily. Then she
said:

just new"
It do mean it-you know

How. do know"
"Instinctively"
"That's good. .instinctively.

quickly.
I'm not plastered."

Because you kissed me?"
Larry asked quickly.
"No. because you kissed me
and I like it,"
Larry laughed, threw his arms
around her quickly and kissed
her again. Blonde pulled away.
II gotta go home," she said.
I'm sleepy.
"Cuddle up then" and as
Larry started the car, Blonde
nestled down on his shoulder.
She was fast asleep long before
Larry pulled up in front Of the

without raising her head.
Well, you are home. come

manded, realizing where she
was.
Blonde got up quickly, and
Larry helped her out of the
car. They hurdled up the
steps and entered the lower
hall of the tenement. AS Glon-
die turned to tell Larry good
night, he clasped her in his
arms. She responded instantly
and said:

trick. He led his last club and
dummy trumped it. A second
lead of diamonds enabled B to

Why Did He Do It?

Why does a partner raise you
to an unnecessary slam, when
both opponents have been bid
ding freely. and your partner
does not hold a single high
card? The following hand
shows an illustration of a per-
fectly irresponsible raise by
partner. Why did he do it?
Probably greed for a slam

caused the partner to make so
crazy a declaration.

HOPEWELL, N. j, March 5.-The
kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby has
thrown this out-of-the-way hamlet OF
1900 persons into adventure and drama
that grows more fantastic as the mys-
terry drags on.
Hundreds of newspaper men, photog
raphers detectives, State troopers and
curious witnesses have practically COM
mandeered every home in town, giving
it the resemblance of a base OF war to-
day. Automobiles and airplanes move
swiftly through the night checking
every clue. Searchlights sweep across
the country and guards patrol every
where.
Not since the Hall-Mills case at
Somerville has such flood of outsiders
swept down upon a New Jersey drama.
Citizens of Hopewell, anxious to do
everything they can to assist in restoring
young Lindburgh to his parents, have
been exceedingly hospitable.
Tops Low Mountain.
No one but officials can penetrate the
Gordon of State troopers to approach
the Lindbergh home where it nestleS
atop a low mountain. With its lights
ablaze, it shines forth at night across
the valleys like a beacon anxious to
guide the missing child home.
Two main roads pass on each side
of the house, each little less than a
mile away. In front of the house,
about a half mile distant, there is
Featherbed lane, which connects these
two roads. This lane, in which the
kidnapers are supposed to have con-
cealed their car while they were at
