The Truth About Dief
 MEAT IMPORTANT IN DIET

 One of the most prevalent fads eoday is vegetarianism. Vegetables, Co be sure, have much significance in the daily diet, but don't let vegetarian give you the idea that meat is harmful to the human body.
 Discovery of the fact that liver contains an imporant principle which overcomes prenicious ane- mia: that the pancreas or sweet breads contain the substance called insulin, which is necessary for di- gestion of sugars; and that other glands in the human body also con- tain important principles, has made yegetarians realize how essential meat may really be in the human diet.
 As e result of these discoveries, moreover, liver, which used to be just cat meat, given away by the butcher to anyone who bought a roast, now is one of the highest priced meats in the shop.
 The final answer, of course, is the fact that the famous explorer stefansson lived on an exclusive meat diet for many months and found himself at the end of this tine in just as good physical con- &ition as when he started.
 Moreover, he was again exam lied several years later and found k9 he in just as good condition of health after the lapse of.these years as before.
 Tn the past it used to be argued that eating meat would be parti- e1.larly harmful to the kidneys, but fEcrc E no evidence that this food, '7 taken in moderation, will harm EI1e kidneys in any way.

ToDAY's HEALTH QUESTION

Q.-Frequently after wres- ting I develop pimples and boils on my skin. Has wres- ting anything to do with this?
 A. Wrestlers, like football players and oarsmen, suffer frequently with furuncles, or boils. It is not known defi- nitely whether the infection is transferred from another wres- tier, or whether it comes from the mats on which the wres- tling takes place. Hygienic authorities recommend use of mat covers made of Canton flannel or some similar mater ial, which can be removed, washed, and sterilized at least once each week. In addition, the mat covers and the mats may be sprayed with an anti septic solution occasionally. Wrestlers' suits should also be washed thoroughly once each week.

Mrs. Quack Tries Again.

Blacky found that other nest. He
probably saw me on the way to or
from it, and so found out about where
to look"
AS it happens, this was Just ex-
actly the truth. It is one of Blackys
methods of finding things that he Is
looking for. II am not even going to
tell Mr.. tQuack where the nest is this
time" said Mrs. Quack to herself. at

known by one, which is the only kind
of secret that can be kept"
Meanwhile Mr.. Quack continued to
loaf, preen his feathers, eat, sleep and
have a good time generally. Mr.. Wood
Duck often joined him. Apparently
they hadn't a care in the world. They
were just selfish, thinking only of
their own comfort and convenience.
When Mrs. Quack announced that
she had found a suitable place for
another nest Mr.. Quack said he was
glad to hear it.
Where is it this timer" he asked
carelessly.
Don't you wish you knew?" re-
torted Mrs. Quack.
mo, l can't say I do" said Mr..
Quack quite honestly. If it's in a
safe place, that's all care about. 1t
is very sensible of you, my dear, to
have another nest and try again. I
hope you'll have better luck this time.
If l don't know where the nest is
neither Blacky the Grow nor any one
else can find out from me, and that
suits me-"
That's just the way I feel about
it." replied Mrs Quack What you
don't know you can't tell. If I don't
succeed in raising family this time
it's the last time I'll ever try here"
So Mrs. Quack made a new nest,
and presently she had four eggs. 1t
wasn't such a good nest as the first
one was, for she didn't have enough
down left on her breast to make such
a fine down blanket as the first one
had been. But it was well-hidden

ANY breaks in the porcelain cradle

but it is otherwise a very good job.
You may see her cleaning black eyes

After the eggs have been deposited,
the mother covers them with sticky
secretion that holds them together in
a cluster, as well as protects them.
The eggs are pushed back into the
spiral, gradually unsetting the mother,
as they increase in size. She carries
them about still fastened to her body.

They must be good sailors, for they
are so widely distributed. You may

they are abundant among the Pacific

Hope. Empty shells are highly priced

Psychology

BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
THOUGHT waves! That's a word
to conjure with. Can you sit in
an audience and stare at the back
of some persons head and cause that
person to turn his head? OF course
you must keep thinking: 1.-THE head
will turn" II you can do this, you
may say that thought waves turned
the trick of turning the head.
Literally thousands believe this to
be a fact, just as others believe that
a snake will swallow the young ones
when danger is imminent.
The head-turning thought-wave
proposition has been put to the test
many times. The answer from scien-
tific circles is that there is absolutely
nothing to it. There are no thought
waves and therefore the head does
not turn for that reason.
But heads do turn in any audience.
They may turn because of some slight
noise back of them. Or they may turn
because the sitting posture is always
attended by slight muscular tension.
Heads will turn for many such rea-
sons. OF course. if you happen to be
experimenting at such times you might
easily say that thought waves did it
providing you were disposed to be-
lieve in the efficacy of thought waves.
Human beings, it seems, are very
likely to believe what they want to
believe.
If you still have your belief in the
power of thought waves, try it out
over long period of time. Keep an
account of successful and unsuccessful
experiments. Then draw your own
conclusions.

Scruples,
JEREMY TAYLoR's definition Of .

JEREMY TAYLOR'S definition Of q
scruple as "a great trouble Of
mind proceeding from little motive
is still as much in order as 1t was
in the days Of Cicero, who also used
it flguratively In the sense Of a cause
Of anxiety or uneasiness.
Figuratively, scruple, intrinsically
Is from the Latin scrupulous, meaning
little rough stone or pebble. The
analogy, Of course, Is between the
sharp, pointed stone that hurts the
foot, for instance, in walking, and
the inner prickings that assail the
conscience.
In passing it is interesting to note
that one Of the first genealogical de-
velopments was the acquisition by
the word scruple Of the significance
of weight-that is, 1-24 Of an ounce
apothecary's measure-presumably the
weight of a small pebble.
Thus in Burroughs book, "Physick,'
published in 1896, we find, "a scruple
Is twentie barley cornes." Also, as
recently as 1843, in Watson's Lectures
on Physic," "It consists of iodide OF
mercury mixed with lard, in the pro-
portion Of two scruples to the ounce"

So Mrs Quack started out home
hunting once more. She went all
around both ponds of Paddy the
Beaver. She went up the Laughing
Brook a little way, and she went
down the Laughing Brook. She even
went as far as the Big River. There
wasn't place suitable for nest that
Mrs. Quack didn't look at.
She was very clever about it. She
not only studied each place, to make
sure that nest would be we'll hidden
there, but she also studied the pos
Sible approaches. She knew that il
was as necessary that she should be
able to approach or leave nest with
out likelihood of being seen as it was
to have the nest securely hidden.

All evergreenS need an abund-
ance of water in the Autumn,
and in sections where q long
drought has prevailed water
should be given with the greatest
freedom. Being evergreen. plants
of this character throw off moist
ure all through the year. and for
that reason must have an abund-
ant supply for their roots to draw
upon. 1t is especially necessary
that rhododendrons and noun
tain laurel should have plenty Of
moisture at their roots when the
ground freezes, because they
tranSpire a great amount of
moisture through their broad
leaves. If they become weak
ened from lack Of moisture, they
will become an easy prey to the
lace-winged fly, which often does
much damage. Other ever
greens which lack for moisture
become attacked by red spider in
hot dry weather and can be badly
damaged before the presence of
this almost invisible insect Is dis

If I were a seafaring whale
And rode through the turbulent tide,
Unheeding the howl Of the gale
On the pillows I'd happily ride;
And I never would think, as braved
the great seas,
Where my unfettered will might
direct me
While I Shouldered the pillows with
freedom and ease,
OF using a bomb to protect me.
A creature so strong, with a bulk so
immense,
Would stand in no need of defense.
A whale must be weak in the dome,
Which means that he's not very
bright,
To think. while he ploughS through
the foam
That life is a dream of delight.
With a lash of his tail he may shatter
a boat
And drown all the mariners in it.
To tuck them all easily down his great
throat
Would be less than the work of a
minute.
He would only more clumsily surge
through the tide
With a bomb in his massive inside.
I have lost all respect for the whale;
He should have been fully aware
That it was not bit Of avail
To ferry that bomb here and there.
Moreover, it might have gone of like
shot,
AS bombs often do accidentally,
And no one would ever have mourned
for his lot,
Or mourned DER his fate senti-
mentally.
The whale is very big fish, as rule,
But amt he terrible fool?
