more attention than this, and in many cases he will, the doctor will test him and treat him for the type of "element starvation" he is going through.
 Often people both young and old cannot right themselves merely by rest and more food. We insist upon the child eating when he can't. When he does eat to please us his system may not be doing much with what his mouth pushes down to his stomach.
 Nature Favors Youth
 Of course. children have their ups and downs. Nature is on the side of youth and, given little time, she will right temporary inn pairment. But the child chronic ally tired and listless, or using up energy faster than he can produce 1t, needs real help and attention.
 He may be thin, but after all this is not always criterion of i'll health. Many perfectly healthy children are as stringy as beans. The mothers quick eye will know when he is too thin. think. He should be gaining, if only little bit, gaining consistently as he grows.

We set great store by vitamins and this is right What vitamins are, precisely, I doubt if the most learned scientists cary tell us.
 All we have is the fact of re- suits. Certain clements arc con- tained in vitamins that directly af- feet the body chemistry and if they are omitted, health recedes. If vitamin starvation continues, there are results evident to the eye,, such as rickets, for instance, when "D' is missing or scarce.
 Sunlight and cod-liver oil con- tain this element. A child needs one or both, depending upon age and condition.
 Watch for Weariness But there are other vitamins needed, too. The average food o1 a properly-fed household contain: as a rule all that is necessary sugar, meat, and so on.
 But once in a while one child in family otherwise healthy may be going down hill. Please watch this child and take him to the doctor fl ms WcdFlIlCSS, ldCh Ol dDPStltS, dilsl pallor continue for any length of time.

 He opened his mouth to speak, then thought better of 1t and fum- bled for his monocle which had dropped to dlngle on his tan, dou- ble-breasted waistcoat. Then he inserted the monocle in the proper zone and nlurmured. Charming weather! Quite refreshing. you know, after that ghastly heat!" It was the next day that they on the church steps. She heard preter and for few moments was silent. Then she agreed, with a gasp, that she had the boy and that he was as son to her.
 At the moment, however. he was absent. He was working else- where; she did not know exactly where. She rose painfully and stiffly from the steps. repeating her story with many unnecessary words and unnecessary gestures.
 She's lying" said Billings as he watched her narrowly. "Either she wants to hide the boy from us or she doesn't know where he is. I'm going to find out about tis!"
 A few hours later Billings did find out about 1t. He learned from a woman who had ben Angela's neighbor, but not her friend, that Angela had abused the boy fright fully and that years before he had run away. God in his mercy alone knew where!
 It was said that the boy had been seen upon one of the Keys in company with man who drank at Bantum's.
 'Bantum's?" Angela's former neighbor repeated. Alas, Bantum had gone to his rest or-as some said-his punishment. He had not been too good but then, the old crone added hastily. who was? It was not Christian to speak i'll of the dead nor was 1t lucky. Pious- ly she crossed herself.
 Tt will take some work to track this down. Billings ad- mitted to Sir Aubrey as they sat in a hotel lounge that was airless and hot. "It can't all be done in a day. he added as he licked the ashes from his cigar. He drowned as he spoke.
 ..Tll have to find the name of the man who unofficially adopted the boy and where he is, if he's still alive. However" Billings tone became brisk, i've still have hope!"

-How Your Doctor Works--No. 4---- MODERN MACHINE TELLS WORKING OF BODY Basal Metabolic Apparatus Measures Rate You Use

Editor Journal of the American
 M cd ical Association, and of Hygcia, the Health Magazine In many ways, machinery is be- | ing brought to the bedside, to the hospital, and to the laboratory, to aid medical study and care of the sick.
 There are microscopes which magnify the appearance of cells. secretions, and excretiofs hundreds of times. There are even ultra microscopes which make apparent l the presence of bodies too small to be seen with the most powerful of microscopes.
 There are electrically lighted machines with which the doctor can look into all cavities of the human body. There are x-ray ma tchines which make 1t possible for him to see the outlines of most of the organs.
 | Other x-ray machines are used to treat cancers aud to destroy new growths on the surface of the body.
 ! One machine measures chemical changes that go on in the body. This device, the basal metabolic apparatus, is one of the most inn portant used in medicine today. Its use is simple. You go to the office where the basal meta bolic apparatus is available. You go in the morning before eating breakfast, so that your body may not be busy at the time digesting food. Now you lie down and rest for an hour, so that your body may not reflect activities associated with musclar exercise. Next you merely Ebreathe through a tube into a closed system.
 By the use of certain chemicals land certain mathematical estima- ltions, the doctor can measure the | rate at which your body is using up oxygen. In some diseases, par |ticularly in very severe overactfvi- l ty of the thyroid gland, j the basal l metabolism rate will be found to I be high.

RICH IN MINERALS
 How about plucking today's din-. ner from the front yard, thus sav- ing green-grocer's fee, doing your daily dozen by cleaning up the yard all at one neat stroke?
 Dande1ion, marsh mariEold, milk weed and fern brake are some of the friendly weeds that make good and beneficial eating.
 Most of us do use dandelion greens because they are now culti- vated and sold in all city markets.
 Then there is the American cow slip or marsh, marigold, which grows in the meadows and is suc- culent and tender if gathered be- fore the blossoms have formed. This green is likely to be slightly bitter and tough if used when it has matured.
 The young tender sprouts of milkweed are good cooked and served like asparagus and tho small leaves are desirable for greens.
 Spinach Substitute
 Sour dock comes early before garden greens are plentiful and many people think it rivals kale or sinach when properly cooked. Some men who refuse spinach like the edible weeds because of their peculiar tang.
 Fernbrakes if culled as they come up from the earth, make a delicious green vegetable.
 Cress, no matter what kind 1t may be, is rich. in sulphur and ideal for a .spring-time tonic"
 Wild mustard resembles the leaf of the spinach except that 1t is more ragged in outline.
 Purslane, or "pusslye" as we call it when it overruns our gardens, is good cooked at 8 green in stew or as cream soup.
 Cream Soup
 To make cream soup of any green, cook the greens in just enough boiling salted water to cov- CT. When tender rub through a sieve and combine with an equal amount of thin white sauce well a few grains of nutmeg.
 Greens also are good served Tn rich cream sauce. Cook as usual in boiling solted water. Drain and chop and add to prepared sauce. Cook a few minutes in the sauce and serve with Or without a gar nish of hard-cooked eggs. If the diced white of several hard cook ed eggs is added to the sauce and the yolks sifted over the top of the dish, an attractive as well as a two-in-one dish is provided.
 Many people like Q tart sauce with greens, An old-fashioned sauce is made by cooking thinly sliced and diced bacon slowly until crisp. Add vinegar or lemon juice to the fat. Pour this over cooked, drained and chopped greens or add the greens which have been parboiled, drained and chopped to the bacon and lemon juice and finish cooking.

per the American workers in their fight against the
employers--ths is our great task now.
What tremendous, historic task this is for
class conscious workers. for Communists!
Is there a inspiring task than this, to
organize the brave fighters Of the American
working class into class conscious, political,
revolutionary army against the strongest capital
list class in the world, the Wall Street monopolists
and bankers?
True, this is not a task for down hearted, tired
souls, detected and overcome by the victory of the
enemy. True, these tasks are not for towards and
miserable surrenderers!
But it is the tremendous revolutionary spirit of
these tasks that must now inspire every nucleus,
every fraction, every unit and Party member with
the hard determination to conquer every obstacle
In our daily tasks.
1t is this iron Bolshevik spirit of our revolution
airy Party that now more than ever must fire all
our work in the factories to win new recruits in
the factories, to widen our influence so that we
transform thousands of militant workers into class
conscious fighters against capitalism
1t is this spirit this driving will to power that
must rouse us to bring tens of thousands of new
workers with all their preudices and Illusions into
the powerful united front Of the working class.
Hardly day passes that some capitalist
paper or some capitalist organization does not yell
about the Communist menace" and about the need
for destroying the Communist Party"
We reply that this is easier said than done.
We will know how to fight against this This talk
of our enemy is recognition of the fact that Com
munism is marching and advancing in this country
But we are modest We answer those capitalist
gentlemen who are crying about the Communist
