subject to many habits, chiefly those
pertaining to the subject OF eating,
that not only do not tend to conserve
the race. but that are actually deter
rent to normal function.
The conventional meal Is an estab-
hshed institution. When we pick UP
q bill-of-fare we already know about
what we will find depending on the
class Of the hotel or restaurant), from
the simple meal Of the small eatery,
composed Of meats. potatoes, breads,
pie and coffee. to the more elaborate
three-course repast of the more pre-
tentious place de la eat, or when a.
banquet is in progress, perhaps nine
or ten courses, each offering much Of
what should compose whole meal.
These are conventional habits, and the
menu is a reflection of national usage
or thinking, or too often lack of
thinking. We cannot blame the crea-
tors Of these menus, for they are mere
ly meeting q demand. The public it
self is the real creator Of the herero-
geneous menus that are the rule!
II we consider natures method Of
nourishing the body, we will be forced
to observe that conventional habit has
slipped far from the course provided
by nature.
Nature provides that we eat only in
response to hunger, not by the clock,
or for entertainment, or to fulfill con-
ventional habit; she provides that we
should select the things most in desire
at the time, as every animal or primi-
tive man would surely do; she further
provides o certain time and chemical
routine for the utilization of the ma
terial resulting from this intake, a
time denoted by the absence of nor
NAL hunger. We observe none Of these
natural indications in conventional
eating, for we eat at certain times and
Of certain foreordained materials in
certain customary courses, giving ma
ture no opportunity to guide us in our
feeding.
Need we wonder that in so nourish-
ing our bodies we fail to get every
thing that is coming to us, or that we
accumulate much that is deleterious?
No dog will ever eat unless and un-
til hungry, unless his habits have been
spoiled by a misunderstanding master
Yet the dog keeps well, as a rule, and
lives to about 10 times his period Of
growth, while his master lives but two
and-a-half times his period of growth,
and Is supposed to be infinitely wiser
than the dog. which I sometimes

Use Of Lime
BY JAMES w. BARTON. NJ. d.

ONE of the mineral elements abso-
lutely necessary for proper growth
and maintenance of the body is cal
cium, or lime. as it is more popularity
called. Lime helps build the bones
and teeth, helps to thicken the blood,
helps old wounds to heal, prevents es-
cape of too much blood from cuts, re-
lieves pain in cancer and stimulates
the heart and other muscles.
The usual diet for many people con-
sistS of meat, bread, cereals, potatoes
and sweets, all of which are deficient
in lime. AS result of this, there are
constipation, rickets (soft bones)
poor bone development and dooth de-
cay.
The foods rich in lime are all nour-
ishing and easily obtained. They are
milk, cheese, leafy vegetables and egg
yolk. Milk stands first, and you can
readily see what this means to the
baby and growing child in furnishing
the material for good, strong bones.
DR.. Alice r. Bernhein, in the Jour-
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton. reminds us that our dietary is
poor in calcium. General health is
improved and recovery from disease
aided when the full lime needs of the
body are filled by proper foods.
Without milk or cheese in the diet
it is difficult to obtain the needed lime
through food alone.
If the individual will not drink milk
or eat cheese. fruits or eggs, then
some form of concentrated lime. such
as lime lactate or lime gluconate, may
be taken. Viosterol, vitamin D or cod
liver oil help the absorption Of lime
into the blood.
Dr. Bernheim also points out that
too much fat in the diet interferes
with the absorption Of lime into the
blood; the fatty acids combine with
the lime, forming insoluble soaps which
cannot be absorbed.
In order to get the full benefit Of
the lime, foods containing lime should
be eaten at the beginning of the meal
and lime in the form of lactate or
lime gluconate should be taken before
meals.
Remember, then, that lime is of
great value to that body Of yours
builder, relieves pain, stimulates heart
and other muscles, prevents acidosis,
heals wounds, coagulates the blood to
prevent bleeding.
Remember, also, that milk stands
first as lime food, with cheese, leafy
vegetables and egg yolks as the next
best.

found the wood of the tree took a
high polish of satiny texture. Hand
some gunstocks Of yellow wood were
as much pleasure to the woodsmen as
the cheerful sunshiny shades of yell
low were to the women.
Though the wood is close and firm
and takes beautiful finish, the tree
is too small to be important for its
lumber. In the Autumn it is lovely in
its robe Of yellow. In the Winter the
little queen is dressed in q modest
gown of drab Quaker colors. But her
small, thin, pointed seed children have
on satiny, fawn-colored coats.
You can raise some of these trees
easily from seeds, and If you want to
from root cuttings. They are willing
to grow on all sorts of SOIL
This tree has no bad habits. Even
as glorious flower tree in the Spring,
many of her admirers say she has no
equals
Through the Winter the little tree
is evidently attending a Quaker
meeting" there is no change in her
bearing for so long. Her broad, round
ed head is formed of graceful, droop-
ing branches that end in little brittle
twigs. The bark is smooth and pale
and reminds you of that covering the
beech twigs.
When Spring comes to the gentle
virgilia, she awakens with a start.
She Is soon arrayed as a bride. Her
gown is of white flowers, pealike in
form, dainty and fragrant. The loose
clusters or racemes are a foot long
The clusters are so loose they appear
to hang from streamers. The weight
of the flowers makes every twig bend
outward and swing groundward.
BY the middle of June the bride Is
attracting thousands of insect guests,
who hover about the nectar filled bios
SONS, and get well-powdered with the
precious pollen. designed for neighbor-
ing yellow-wood trees. Nectar, you
know, Is served In payment for the
transportation of pollen. This is the
reason you hear the happy hum Of in
dustrious insects.
Then the flowers fade as all flowers
do and the tree mother gets busy de-
veloping seed babies.
The young leaves show many shades
Of green, and form a wonderful back
ground for the flowers. All Summer
long, some Of the leaves are turning
yellow and a few Of them leave their
places on the twig each day. BY Au-
tumn, all that remain are yellow.
With the golden background of
leaves the pendant clusters of dainty
pods make the tree very ornamental.
To see these trees hanging over a
clear stream of water, with their long
lovelineSs reflected below, Is a rare
treat. One wonders why more of these
trees are not planted. They do ap-
preciate love and nourishing food so
much.
You will see this tree from Central
Kentucky to North Carolina, to North
ern Alabama and to Arkansas. 1t Is
cultivated as far north as Massachu-
sets.
In North Carolina, it is known as
the yellow wood. In Tennessee, 1t is
called the gopherwood, and in Ken
lucky, yellow locust. Don't forget 1t
was the tree that helped make homes
and clothes gay with the sunshiny
color Of marigolds.

the memories of all who had seen it.
His wife Grace, who was possessed
of an intense desire to de1ate his ego,
had made little headway toward that
end. The long planned return for
homecoming had been the bogy man OF
her future, and now, as they maoe
preparations for the trip, she found
life verging on being unbearaole.
After six years of marriage Sne
felt that little ground had been gained
toward making Buck forget his col
leee fame. and now she was confronted
with the possibility of losing 1t.
She could picture bald-headed ex-
classmates, with children tagging
along behind them, patting BUCK on
the back and announcing to the
world at large that here is the great
est fullback that ever wore a state
uniform. Undoubtedly the professors
would join in. Too, she could vlsu-
alize Buck flourishing on their praise
and prompting them for more.
Buck was highly enthusiastic and
went about his packing with gusto.
I'll certainly be glad TO see all
the old boys, Honey. wish Uncle
Billy were still coaching. They'd be
PLAYING better ball If he were. Wait
till you hear 'em talking. You'll
learn what a great fullback your old
husband was"
Buck received no answer.
Game time was drawing near when
they drove into town and hurried
toward the stadium.
With a self-aSsured stride Buck
pushed his way to the pass gate.
There he presented his letter-man
card to a student attendant.
AS soon as he received the COM
plimentary ticket Buck snatched his
card and turned away.
"Wait a minute, please. What's
YOUR name? I've got 10 keep a
record of it as well as your pass
number"
"Buck Benson, pass 1885," was the
indignant reply.
"Seven hundred and fifty-six you
say. I didn't get the name though,
old fellow" -.

Making ma
survey of the crowd before the kickoff,
his eyes fell upon woman who was
having difficulty in keeping two young
boys in check.
See that old gal over there" Buck
nudged Grace. "She Is one of my
old sweethearts. She thought I was
greater fullback than Jim Thorpe. |"
The game began and Buck followed
intently. shouting advice to players
and berating the manner in which
the team had been coached.
At the quarter he made two efforts
to speak to the woman who was now
trying to attract the attention of a
hot-dog vender to satisfy the whims
| of her children. Twice her gaze
fell upon Buck. but recognition was
not forthcoming.
The whistle blew and his interest
returned to the game. State scored
in the closing minutes Of the second
quarter and Buck felt easier at the
half.
A fat, red-faced man who was
not too well dressed made his way
toward Buck.
PARDON me, but aren't you Buck
Benson?"
"Yep, that's me-" he replied jauntily.
I'm mighty glad to see you again.
What are you doing now?"
"Oh. I'm dabbling in politics out
on the West Coast"
Making lots of dough, eh, Buck2"
We'll, don't 60 in for boosting
my own stock, but you can rest as
sured that old Buck win never beg
for aims. Oh, by the way. what is
your name? I want to introduce you
to the wife"
"Oh. don't bother. Buck. didn't
expect you to remember me. You
used to call me Dutch. Just wanted
to see if you could pay me that SIS

SAMMY JAY TO PETER RABBIT.

Happy -go-lucky fellow that he
seems to be Chatterer has a lot OF
wisdom in that small head of his. and
there is little that his bright eyes miss
So it was that, as he scampered about
he took note of the things he saw, and
he discovered that, for some reason he
did not understand, certain seeds of
which he Is fond were beginning to
ripen unusually early. This led him
to examine the cones on the pines
and to visit certain nut trees. There
too, he found signs of an early ripen-

So even before the end of Summer
Chatterer had put aside play for busi-
ness, the business of laying in Winter

warm when he began, and there was
all the long, comfortable Fall in which
to do it, but Chatterer didn't wait
He began work at once.
Now, there are many sharp eyes in
the Green Forest, and one can dc
little without the knowledge of ones
neighbors. So, hardly had Chatterer
begun his harvest when some of his
neighbors noticed what he was doing
