"Oh, I'll try to be 80 bright, Bill,
that you'll not miss the sun at all. -
When the conversation had come
to an end, Bill stepped into the
bathroom. He started hot water for
a shave, and cold water for a
shower. And as he did so he kept
remembering that kiss of the day
before-Claire Lester in his arms
upon the shore Of the little lake. It
was amazing what kiss could do
to a mans emotions-howi 1t could
make him come to final decision.
And yet that's just what Claire's
kiss had done to him. 1t had made
him decide just what he was going
to do. And pretty soon he would be
with Claire, would pour out his
heart to her-and all would be
well! He began to sing softly, as he
got out of his pajamas. He sang
more loudly as he felt the cold wa
ter OF the shower pour over his
body. Claire Dian Paul.

Contains Inulin


In the case of the artichoke,
however. when the chemists came
TO alyze it there was found some
basis for considering it as a medic
inal plant. A considerable amount
Of its contained carbohydrate is in
the form Of inulin, which unlike
most other vegetable starches is
not converted to glucose in the
body, but is hydrolyzed to levulose.
Because of this, the artichoke has
been advocated in cases of dia-
betes, but further studies have
proved that the diabetic does not
tolerate levulose any better than
he does dextrose, so the diabetic
dream that he could eat all the
Artichokes he wanted faded away.
The chemists also found. Curl
ously enough, that the old French
idea that artichokes were good
for the liver and kidneys had some
basis because they isolated a diu-
retic and bile-forming substance
called cynarine from extracts of
the leaves and roots. But here
once more a beautiful dream was
spoiled because the edible part Of
the artichoke does not contain
cynarine. Where the French got
their bunch that it was in the arti-
choke at all remains a deep, dark
mystery.

pate that there would be three in
quiries on my desk this week about
artichokes.
The artiehoke can hardly be
considered common wartime
vegetable, although heaven knows
what will turn up as common
vegetable these days. What my
correspondents wanted to find out
though was about the medicinal
properties of artichokes.
The French people claim that
the artichoke has very remarkable
medicinal values for diseases of
the liver and kidneys and for itch
ing, hives and asthma.
Such ideas gain authority large
ly through repetition. Sauerkraut,
II you can imagine, was idolized
by the Egyptians. There is uSu-
ally little or no scientific basis for
them. The vegetables we eat every
day are very much the same chem
ically: only the minute traces Of
some chemical which gives them a
change Of taste makes them differ
one from the other. Nor have
they any marked medicinal prop
critics.
