Your Health

THE liver is one OF the largest organs in your
Il body. Furthermore YOU have seven times
much liver tissue YOU actually require. and that's
Of greatest importance, because the liver is fire.
ouently damaged by poisons of various kinds.
The liver is supposed TO be responsible TO some
extent for secretion and excreton OF bile for taking
part in destruction Of wOrnOu blood cells. for devel
oping substances which are concerned in cOagulation
Of blood for storing OF fat which it gets from food
and releases required by the body, and for aid in
digestion OF some protein substances.
II also acts as chemical factory in changing
sugars into a substance called glycogen. which is
used Up in the muscles and also for converting gly
cOgen into glucose as required for the body.
THE liver also acts 10 break down posons coming
il from the stomach and intestines. as well as
other Darfs of the bodv and helps to remove various
foreign substances from the blood. Finally 1t is
believed 70 have part in regulating concentration
of the fluid material in the blood and in regulating
heat Of the body.
Thus the liver IS in every sense Of the word. the
chemical factory and StorehouSe of the human body
snd attracting increasing attention from physi-
clans because 1t is involved IN so many human dis
orders.
Among recent advances have been development
Of means for looking at the liver using the lnlec-
ton Of a substance called thorium doXde. followed
by an X-rsy picture. Functions Of the galblaoder
may be studied by passing tube down into the in
and thereby securing some OF the secretion

IT Is possible. by examining blood and urine, to

tlonS in relationship 70 the bile.
Work Of the liver in taking care of damaged red
blood cells Is measured by studies OF the blood d.

sometimes expensive, but they give the physician

oped they are likely 70 come into much wider use
than az present.

is particularly siding with the
Negro share choppers.
Reason is the fact that Metro
politan owns large areas Of Ar
kansas cotton land, taken over as
a result of defaulted mortgages.
On this land it has established
Negro tenants, helped them with
tools and seed to raise cotton.
But the cotton curtailment pro-
gram of the AAA has swathed
them hard. What has been par
ticuiarly disastrous is alleged dis
elimination on the part of white
planters against Metropolitan and
its colored tenants.
Whenever possible. it is claimed,
acreage reduction is worked out at
the expense Of Metropolitans
land.
MEANWHILE reports Of threats
WI by dispoSSeSsed cotton ten
ants cause more and more alarm
to AAA officials.
The Southern Tenant Farmer
Association has been aggressively
organizing. Ward Rodgers, one of
its leaders, has been convicted Of
anarchy" A stringent Sedition
Bill has passed the Arkansas
Legislature and is pending IN the
Senate.
Observers recently returned
from Kansas have informed New
Deal officials that the calling out
Of troops would not surprise them.
Note-Huey Long. during his
attack on Senator Robinson, was
urged by some of his friends to
use the plight of the Arkansas
cotton troopers as ammunition
against the Senator from Arkan-
sas. Huey. however, SHE'D away.
He has similar potential trouble IN
Louisiana.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
The Lion Quakes
NAPOLEON was counting

NAPOLEON was counting
on the results of a con-
ference between the belliger-
ent powers, which was taking
place at Chatillon-sur-Seine.
Caulaincourt attended it as
plenipotentiary, with Rumig-
ny as his attache.
Lord Aberdeen's attitude seems
STRAIGHTFORWARD and almost con-
ciliatory,' wrote Caulaincourt, but
Stadion and Humboldt take
stand of arrogant hostility, while

There was no longer any ques-
ton Of the natural frontiers oil
France. as mooted by the Allies at
Frankfort: the 1871 frontier, be-
fore Napoleon's con7uests, was
taken as a basis of negotiations.
So the conditions Of peace hao
been laid down; and envoy was
awaiting the reply.
we must have peace - ana
peace at once" Marshal Berthler
declared when Napoleon rendered
him the fateful document with a
despairing gesture
What! You ask me to sign
such treaty as this, to violate
the trust reposed in me and
after all our struggles and our
victories. after all the blood that
has been shed-to leave France
smaller than I found her! I'M
possiblel If we abandon the
Rhine frontier, it means that
France is curtailed!"
That night he never closed his
ewes. Constant, his faithful serv-
ant. shared his vigil. Every one
wants peace" Constant observed.
They'll find soon enough the
Emperor answered gruffly, that
it's a dishonorable peace"
On Feb. 9. the conference adj
iourned for ten days. The hopes
of peace evaporated while sick
ness played havoc with Napoleon's
little army, and the Young Guard
melted away.
On being informed that Bluch-
er was marching on Paris along
the valley of the Marine, Napol-
con shook off in the morning OF
Feb. Q the torpor in which de-
featist talk had kept him en-
thralled. He hastened to his maps,
bent over them, marked them with
pins headed with wax of diff
ferent colors.
To Maret. who brought him the
conditions laid down by the Allies,
he observed: That is not the
question. I am Just working out
a way of beating Butcher. He is
advancing along the road from
Montmirail. I shall beat him to-
morrow" And posting Marshal
Victor at Nogent-sur-Seine, and
Oudinot at Bray, he made for
