Doctor, With Long-Handled Brush, Can
Make Lions Perform a Series of Trick:

Before an evening dress audience
of members of the British Medical
association and their wives and
daughters, DR.. r. H. Hunter, lee
turer in anatomy at Queens uni
versity, Belfast, Northern Ireland,
entered the lions den at the Belfast
Zoo, armed only with long-handled
brush, and made the animals per-
form a series of tricks, writes a cor
respondent in the New York Times
Lions and lionesses circled, stood
on their hind legs and lay down at
the bidding of the doctor, who is
used to training wild animals. In
addition to being lecturer of the
university, he is curator of the zoo.
Il draw the line at polar bears"
said Doctor Hunter to reporters after
the performance. Il would run for
my life from one of them. They
are so uncertain. They appear to
be perfectly gentle and then have
a sudden lapse. A lion may leap
and bite you once and hold on, but
a polar bear goes on biting you all
the time.
My worst experience was in this
zoo with a fully grown leopard. He
had escaped just as was entering
the zoo and I tried to capture him
by catching hold Of his tail.

of discomfort and fullness in the

breath, coated tongue, feeling of
lassitude and a tendency to be-
come easily fatigued.
BY weakening resistance, it
opens the way to numberless dis
eases. Serious complications, such
as irritation of the appendix, may
occur as a result of the friction
of hard masses of waste against
the delicate walls of the intestine
Piles have frequently been laid at
the door of faulty elimination.
Do you wonder that l consider
prompt, regular elimination the
keystone of good health.
It's importance is readily under

Hidden Benefits

Few housewives realize the I'M
derlying advantage of the use Of
a good light-oil furniture polish!
Most polish is used only for the
luster it bestows on the chairs,
tables, piano, woodwork in the
home. Rubbing the polish on
cleans the furniture-works up
glow-and the outward effect is
fresh and sparkling! But that is
only part of the housewives re-
ward. For out of this domestic
routine comes definite benefit to
the furniture! A reputable polish,
with a light oil base, does what
is known as feeding" the finish.
The massage" causes the oil to
penetrate, seep into the pores of
the wood-just enough to lubricate
and keep it healthy! Here, it is
important to note that cheap pol
ishes are made with a heavy oil
base-and are greasy and I'M
pleasant to use. The best polish
made with fine hght-oil base
is never greasy. Applied on a
damp cloth according to direc-
tions), it is neat to use and proves
a boon to the furniture! Lack of
polishing-or the use of a poor
polish-will cause the finest wood
to dry out, crack, splitter wood
is a product of Nature and needs
a certain amount of oily moist
ness. So polish the furniture regu-
larly! Use quality oil polish-it

ture look better-it is better! It's

The Governor followed Pho into
the sacristy. Standing upright in
the center of the small apartment
that was almost filled by a great
chest Of drawers sent from Spain
to hold the priestly vestments, Fray
Junipero was in his sacerdotal
robes.
He spoke abruptly without any
ceremonious preamble.

Serra's eyes cleaned large in his
wrinkled face. The pupils seemed
to spread over the entire iris, and
they cleaned feverishly. Deep lines
made burrows from nose to witch

hands clasped and unclasped nerv-
ously, and that tremors shook his
frame constantly.

SOME LAXATIVE FOODS

Foods with an exceptionally
high residue include raw fruits,
especially those with skins and
seeds; dried fruits, as apricots,
prunes, figs and raisins; raw veg
etables; such cooked vegetables
as onions and leafy greens; the
legumes, that is, dried peas and
beans; whole grain cereals and
bran.
Among the vegetables, don't
overlook cabbage, lettuce, celery,
spinach, brussels sprouts, string
beans and green peas.
Foods which tend to form a lit
tie gas in the intestines, including
spinach, onions and caulifloWer,
are also useful stimulants to in
testinal movement.
In addition to providing cellu-
lose, the acid fruits, such as or
anges, lemons and grapefruit, act
as a mild stimulus to increased
peristaltic motions.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-04-28
NEED FOR VITAMIN b

Another important factor in pro-
noting normal elimination is vita
min B, which has been shown to
be essential for good muscular
tone and activity of the digestive
tract. Investigations with expert
mental animals have demonstrate
ed that it requires twice as long
to empty the large intestine when
the diet is deficient in vitamin B.
Yeast, egg yolk, milk, whole grain
cereals, liver and green leafy veg
etables are good sources of this
vitamin.

Polar EskimOs Friendly

Polar Eskimos are a friendly
happy people who live farther north
than any other human beings. They
rove the Arctic from Greenland to
Alaska. Skin tents are their habi-
tation during the brief summer;
snow igloos their winter homes.
Their food, save for a few birds
eggs and berries, is exclusively
flesh-the seal, bear, fox, whale,
walrus and reindeer being the prov.
ender. They are prodigious eaters,
hence their plumpness and perhaps
their good nature.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-04-28
FATE OF FOOD IN THE BODY

From the mouth, food passes
down the esophagus into the stom-
ach, where it is penetrated by the
gastric juice. 1t then passes into
the small intestine where it is
mixed with the secretions of the
liver and the pancreas. Here the
nutritive elements are absorbed
by minute, hair-like tubes which
line the intestinal walls. These
tubes converge into the blood YES
sells and lymphatics which trans
port nourishment to all parts Of
the body.
Undigested residues pass into
the large intestine or colon, where
they are normally moved along
by a series of muscular contrac-
tons known as peristalsis, and
finally evacuated
The amount of the evacuation
varies in bulk with the amount of
indigestible roughage contained in
the food. When there is INSULT
cient bulk to promote normal per-
istalsis, waste accumulates and
we have the condition known as
constipation with all its resulting
evils. Bacteria prey upon the
stagnating material, producing
poisons which may be absorbed
by the body.
There is not the slightest excuse
for allowing this condition to de-
velOp. For the misery and wretch
edneSS of constipation may easily
be avoided by including in the

CHAPTER XIII

Fog crept in from the sea, smoth-
erIng the Royal Preside of San Car
los de Monterey, and the Mission
San Carlos Borromeo in a damp
clinging blanket. 1t hung in wisps
from the pines and expresses, and
muffled the sounds of the horses

travelled the two leagues Of the Via
Cruces from the preside to the mis-
sion.
La Gobernadora. riding in a lit
ter, watched the gray tatters lift
for a revealing moment showing
odd tortured shapes of gharled cy-
press. Then breeze from the sea
would blow. hiding everything again
in gray wells. She could hear the
ocean, whispering, signing, break
ing into crashing cries as the waves
met Illustration against rocky crags
where the cypress hung precarious-
~.
Shivering, she pulled her velvet
mantle around her, burying her
chin in the robe Of supple otter
skins. Her Indian bearers trotted
along the narrow road with an even
lope, half naked, glistening with
moisture. At one side of her rode
the Governor in such gravity as be-
came the Governor of the Califor-
MAS on his way to mass.
At the other side of La Goberna-
dora rode Pedro the Younger, his
small face serious. Following the
Governors party came the entire
population of the preside, riding in
order of their rank: the officers,
their wives, children and servants;
the soldiers, their women, children;
the storekeeper. the blacksmith and
other artisans.
It was Eulalia's first visit to the
Mission San Carlos. She was Curl

To him she had expressed herself
with an admiration for the monk

But he was the man she needed
And her need was greater than the

Nicolas Soler. He was an ally of a
different caliber. But with the two
of them on her side-Serra, bringing

his holy convictions to bear on the
Governor. and Soler. with his per-
sonal ambitions and desires to wor-

hopes of leaving the province she
hated might be realized.
She stirred impatiently in the lit
ter.
The Governor leaned over her
with a smile.
Are you comfortable, my soul?"
he asked tenderly. She nodded in
differently. and he spoke again.

LIQUIDS ESSENTIAL

A sufficient quantity of liquids
is likewise necessary to prevent
the contents of the lower intestine
from becoming too hard for easy
evacuation. In addition to water,
the diet should therefore contain
an abundance of milk, fruit juices
and other beverages. Acidophilus
milk and buttermilk are especial
ly beneficial.
Fats and oils, used in modera-
ton, act as gentle lubricants.

NAVAL BILL MIGHT

Washington, March 26.-(AP)-Sen-

suggested today that President Roose

900 naval expansion program to effect
a reduction in world ornaments.
Bone, a member Of the Senate Naval

"entirely logical to him that the Pr

for a huge increase in the navy, might
be able to obtain agreements with
other powers to delay or halt naval

by the House, will be taken up by the
Senate committee at closed meetings
Tuesday. Chairman Walsh, Democrat
Massachusetts, indicated naval expert
would be called for secret testimony
