Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

THERE are at least two fundamental kinds of
proteins. They vary in the extent to which they
are used by the body for growth and for repair of
tissue.
The proteins of some foods, for example are more
nutritious than those in other foods, because they
more nearly approximate the requirements of the
human body. The proeins in milk are better for us
than those in cereals, but when milk and cereals
fed together the proteinS in both of these food
substances supplement each other
IT Is important to know about these differences
In proteinS because certain foods cost much more
than others, and some difficult to get than
others. Moreover, person who is i'll may need
protein foods that easier to asSmilate and use in
his body than are required by person who is we'll
Il going to give birth to child, the person who is
with tuberculosis who finds it difficult to get UP an
appetite for food, the whose body has wasted
after surgical operation ali need protens that are
picked up easily by the body and that of great
value in rebuilding tissue
Years and years of experience seem to have shown
that milk and eggs the best forms of food for
supplying protein to people of these types. The grow
ing child the invalid, the prospective mother and
the woman who is nursing baby should lean largely
on milk and eggs in selecting a diet.
If the choice is between milk and eggs, milk
should have the preference, because it is usually
cheaper in proportion to the food value it supplies
and because it is better than eggs for certain nutri
tive purposes
Milk for instance, supplies much more calcium
than is available through eggs.

completed and put into service upon Mt. Palomar in
California.
Astronomers at present have the following pic
ture of the universe: Our own galaxy or Milky Way
is collection OF some hundred billion stars ar
ranged in shape like gigantic pinwheel. Similar
pinwheels or spiral nebulae or, as they sometimes
are called exterior galaxes, exist at immense dis

These exterior galaxies. while grouped into clus-
tiers OF from six to several hundred in number seem
the whole to be or less uniformly scattered
through space.
In addition, the motion of every one of these
exterior galaxes seems to be away from our galaxy

Aren't Stout People Smart?

IT KNOW" says Mr.. West, the originator of the
~ suggestion, that lot of coaches and fans will
think that this haf-baked idea But it would
really cut down injuries and it would put more of
premium on brains opposed to Drawn. Besides it
would help the smaller colleges. One of the most
severe blows 70 any team is the loss of the quarter
back If he is the man who directs the attack and
the smaller teams have few reserves. But suppose
the twelfth man idea is used? The coach finds the
smartest student he can get, matter what he
weighs. Maybe hes only ninety FOUNDER.
l think that right here Mr.. West labors his point
little too much. There is reason, 1 believe,
to assume that stout people may not also be brany
Come to think of it, want to abandon the idea of
tall and thin quarter back and suggest that he be
large and roly-poly. But that would vary according
to climate Let us step out of the play and allow
Coach West to continue:
THE game starts" writes the coach, land his
team has the ball. He calls the players back into
the huddle directs the play and then steps behind
the referee or somewhere out of the play. The play
is attempted. He isn't. injured In fact, it isn't
even necessary for him to be in uniform. At half
time he is the man with whom the coach can 60 over
the plays. Substitutons-most of them are made so
that the coach can give advice, anyway-would drop
to minimum and the game would be played faster
and would be more beautiful to see."

Young John Diinger stuffed and preserved like

Instead however, the old gentleman, when he
set out to preach that the wages of sin is death was
forced to do alone, with nothing use for stage
props except young Johns straw hat with bullet

VXTISE, Va, Dec. 14.-And now,
w what do the people of Wise
County think of Edith Maxwell
and the Maxwell murder case?
For four days I have been talk
ing with people in Wise, the
county seat, and in Pound, Edith's
home town, and out in the hills
between the two towns.
And I find practically only one
opinion, and it is all against
Edith. People say that two-thirds
of Wise County thinks her Is
year sentence for killing her ia
ther was just.
That would mean 10000 people
against her, 10000 for her. Former
State Senator Robert Bruce,
Edith's chief attorney, says in his
quiet, tolerant way that he be-
lieves the two-thirds estimate is
a little high. Even so, I have
found only two or three people
for her.
Everybody has an opinion, and
a theory. But Jumping them all
together, the consensus is about
like this:
That Trigg Maxwell, Edith's ia
Their, was mild man. They say
he was absolutely harmless. They
say he probably never whipped

A Break for Harvard

pit intellect against intellect. Yale teams might fall
a shade below their previous standards, but look
what the innovation would do for Harvard
And the new system could very we'll inspire the
entire undergraduate body in any institution of

chance to put student the team without risking
the honor OF alma mater.
The whole psychology of college football would
change Even the slogans and the catchwords quite
possibly might be altered. Imagine how stirring it
would be to hear from the studying section great

to have distinctive uniform for the twelfth man.
He should wear a top hat, cutaway and pinstripe

Christmas coming on the shopper do well to
keep such editions in mind.
All of this is by way of announcing that the Herr

saw that it was a lay down for
four hearts and he had play for
five. After the rubber was over, I
asked Haddad why he did not bid
four hearts.
His reply was, IF I had, my
partner would have bid four no
trump. Now, isn't it better to go
down two tricks not doubled for
a loss of 100 points, rather than
have my partner bid four or five
no trump, get doubled and then
go down possibly 500 or zoe
points?"
Haddad's reasoning on this
hand was that he had saved 400
to 600 points.
Some of Haddad's partnership
rules are:
Never tell your partner that
he has lost trick in the play of
the hand, or he will lose two on
the next hand, worrying about the
last one. If your partner is the
type of player who wants to play
all of the hands, do not try to
outbid him, he will cost you too
many points. Instill confidence in

T WAS earning about $40 a week.
Il When you're alone, that isn't
bad, is it? Enough to take girl

then.
Along about May I noticed
cough and I felt sick most of the
time. I was weak, too, and eX-
hausted after, each days work.
Finally I saw a doctor. He was
swell about everything, but what
could he say eXcept.-T. B.?
I went to a sanitarium up -state
right off. I stayed there about six
months and then came down to
Bellevue. In January, 1884, I came
over here to Sea View, and I've
been here ever since.
The worst of T. B. is the hope
less feeling, I guess. The thought
that you may never be really we'll
again. I used to lie awake nights
and think how I'd never be able
to do so many things-like SWIM

baseball with the other fellows, or

decided I really wanted to live
early this year. I don't know ex-
actly why. Something came over
me, guess. Anyway, the doctors
gave me two surgical operations
to compress my lungs. They worked
beautifully, they said, and I'll be
out of the hospital some time.
Not next week or next month,
or even next year, I guess but I'll
be out all right. And I think I've
learned something about living
from wanting to die.
There's plenty of life to enjoy
even here on a hospital bed, be-
lieve me-eyen with pain in your
chest, too. There's things to see

about enough, isn't it?

they had.

Judge Skeen continually ruled
in Edith's favor, they say.
The jury, they say, was of av-

above average. Most of them were
from other parts of the county.
The people in Pound say they
didn't have any influence on the
verdict, because Pound people
weren't allowed on the jury.
1t is said that when the jury
first voted, one man was for a
20-year sentence, and the rest
ran from 40 years to life. So they

They say the prosecution was
very decent, and didn't use evil
dence in its possession that would
have blackened Edith'S character.
They say that if Edith has an
other trial, this evidence will be
used.
They say their opinion of the
Maxwell case is not based on any
belief that father has a right to
whip his grown-up children, or
that girls should be in after dark.

Life is worth any sort of
a fight you have to put up
for it-take the word of a
guy who almost didn't
fight. When a fellow says
he wants to die, he's just
crazy for a while, that's all. It's
just the pain or something in his
head that makes him say it. The
time always comes when he's
thankful no one listened to him.
Like me. I lie here now and
talk with the other fellows in the
ward. We play guessing games
across our beds. We have jokes
with the nurses, and people
bring us cigarets.
There's so much to live for, isn't
there? You can read, can't you?

work at the mine without any
