Synopsis: Katharine Beckett. just assigned
the task of contracting private detective for
Dicky Graham in connection with the sudden
need of Dicky's nephew. Roderick, for a sur
prisingly large amount of money. makes 8
plausible excuse for leaving the Graham
Hotel Lansfield suite. II am going to be the
only nurse at the farm next week. she tells
the Graham family including Roderick and
his cousin, Junior Graham. "And as the drug
store will be miles off, I'm going to have to
go out now and buy supplies"
KATHARINE had handed US a
most plausible camoufage for her
errand at Dicky's behest, and Dicky
and l hastened to bolster it, as we
saw it accepted by the expressions
on the faces of the boys and Faith.
"Of course you'll have to CO."
Dicky said. "a moron could see that.
But, remember the conditions. You
will be tagged at every step by
Adams or Winters, whichever is
available"
"Oh, Tush, also Pish!" Katharine
said with what l knew was calcu-
lated pettishness. Imagine select
ing thermometers, and eye drop
pers, and bandages, and assorted
drugs with burly guard draped
over my shoulder"
Shouts of Laughter
81 don't think he'll insist on your
wearing him as a cape" Dicky said
gravely, and we all shouted with
laughter. Nevertheless" he went
on firmly, "you either take his es-
cort, or you stay here. Take your
choice"
"All right, Top Sergeant Gra-
ham, l heard you the first time"
Katharine said. "Shall l call up
Adams, or"
"Oh, III trust you," Dicky said,
and l knew that this conversation
had been arranged beforehand.
You'll want to go over to your
apartment, and make out your lists.
You can call him from there. The
boys can escort you over to your
suite, and then double back here.
"When you get back from your
errands, keep your guard at the
apartment while you store away
your purchases. Then have him
bring you over here"
| dotfed a mental chapeau to
them. Katharine would have time
for only the most sketchy purchases
while she was absent on her er-
rand, but the plan of storing them
in her room would eliminate any OBJ
servations, or questions.
With a Grin
"Okay, boss!" Katharine said
with grin. "Now, for your re-
gime. Faith. where is your uni
form ?"
The small girl fairly wriggled
with delight.
"It's hanging up in my closet
just as it came from the laundry"
she said. "And my cap is in its box,
all starched and everything"
"The box?" Roderick queried sly
ly, but Faith looked at him haugh-
tily.
81 said the oap," she told him
loftily.
"My error" Roderick said with a
grin, but Faith ignored him.
"And my shoes, Aunt Katharine" !"
she said, positively shine, they're
so white. I've been waiting for a
chance to wear them, but nobody
got sick lately" she added with an
air of such dolor that we choked
back our laughter with difficulty.
"You ought to be eternally CRATE
full to me, Skeezicks," her father
told her, but Faiths eyes unexpect-
edly filled with tears.

Keeping The
Slender Shape
By HELEN FOLLETT

KEEP figure wise. If you have
slender, willowy shape. don't fancy
that it is going to stay that way the
rest of your life. You must have
exercise, you must mind your eating
habits. It's smart now to enroll in a
gym class. You've no idea how many
women are working to maintain the
youthful silhouette.
If you observe that you are few
pounds heavier, that the frock you
bought last autumn is bit snug, let
that be warning to you. If the
poundage has upped to twenty. you
are in for some muscle flexing. Also,
you must not be a sissy and be
tempted when the cute little cakes
are passed at the tea party. Let fat
cells get start and it is not easy to
stop them. A lot of their friends and
relatives will appear. The first thing
you know there will be curves where
you don't want them.
Crusade for Health
These days, when the crusade for
health, hygiene and beauty goes On
under flying banners, there is no rea-
son why any woman should endure
spread amidships. A we'll fitted
foundation garment will exercise re-
straint on bulge, but it will not re-
store tone to slack fibers.
To avoid overweight lie on your
back in bed, hands under the but
tocks. Lift the legs slowly until you
are fairly standing on the back of
your head. Lower them slowly. Do
that movement ten times. Relax,
take five or six deep inhalations,
then at it again.
When there is little shelf abaft
the waistline, it is possible for the
internal organs to become displaced
because of lack of muscle support.
When that condition is present, ply
sicians recommend this exercise as
being beneficial.

The Need
For Fat In
The Diet
By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD.

BY HEKMAN N. bUNDEoLN, NIL.
PRACTICALLY everyone has .
craving for some fat in his diet and
it does help to make food taste bet
ter. Fat is taken up slowly from the
bowel and empties slowly from the
stomach. Therefore, it has satisfy
ing value and delays hunger be-
tween meals.
Foods containing fat are easy to
eat. For example, bread with some
fat on it is easier to eat than dry
bread.
Non-Fatty Foods
Fat has more than double the
caloric or heat value of other foods.
Since most non-fatty foods contain
higher percentage of water, diets
can be less bulky if they have high
fat content. In addition, fats are
less likely to ferment in the bowel
than are starchy foods and sugars.
Furthermore, there may be some
needs for fats, not yet recognized.
Fat can be made from starchy
foods and sugars in the body, as
many overweight people know. 1t is
not necessary in the diet as source
of known fat-soluble vitamins, since
person may get vitamin D from
sunshine, vitamin A from carotene
in vegetables, and vitamin E in
bread.
Of course, fats may be obtained
from cream, butter, margarine, fat
ty meats, and eggs. A reasonable
amount of fat in the diet is desir-
able, but just how much is essential
must still be determined.
Lack of Fatty Acids
In animals, it has been found that
a lack of certain fatty acids present
in fats will cause the growth to stop
and the animals to develop skin dis
eases, such as eczema.
There is some evidence that these
same fatty acids are necessary for
good health in human beings, but
definite proof is still not available.
However, eczema has been produced
in babies kept on diets very low in
ldlS. lHele Is aollle cslocllSes wv
that diet high in fats and low in
starches and sugars reduces the
susceptibility to colds and similar
infections, but this, also, is matter
of some dispute. For example, one
individual lived for six months on
daily diet very low in fats and OBJ
served no ill effects. Perhaps if he
had continued on this diet for a
longer time, i'll effects would have
been observed.
Excessive amounts of fats in the
diet, particularly in middle-aged
and elderly persons, would seem to
be inadvisable, since there is some
evidence that excess fat may con-
, tribute, in part, to liver disorders.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A Reader: Ny father has pains in
his abdomen and everything he eats
upsets him. He has been using laxa-
tives, one after another. What would
you suggest?
Answer: Your father should have
careful examination made by his
physician to determine the cause of
his difficulty. The continued use of
laxatives may irritate the bowel and
produce abdominal discomfort and
other symptoms.
1t is advisable to treat constipa-
ton in other ways, such as by means
of diet, exercise, and the formation
of right habits.
Can an enlarged uterus lead to
cancer?
Answer: Enlargement of the
uterus, in itself, would not be con-
tributing cause for cancer.

The Boss would have gun, and they would
both be grinning, and his father would be
making funny little whining sound in his
throat as if he were about to burst with ex-
citement; so he knew that hunting would be
fun. He used to dream at night how it would
be when he owned somebody he could take
hunting with him. He would dream about it 50
hard that his paws would twitch in his sleep,
and scratch on the kennel-aoor and his litter

HE KNEW his man the moment he saw him.
You can always tell, thing like that 1t was
warm afternoon and he was standing in the
kennel yard in the sun, watching big orange
and-black butterfly moving in lazy circles
through the air. Now and then the butterfly
would fiutter near him, and for some reason
that he did not understand he would begin to
tremble little The butterfly landed at last
on the grass just outside the wire, and he
began to move toward it cautiously, lifting
his paws one by one and setting them down

again. feeling that strange trembling inside
him. And then somebody moved between him
and the butterfly, and he looked up, and a
boy was standing ON the other side of the wire.
He was young and gangling, just like HIM
self, and his cheeks were smooth and his fore
arms had not begun to feather out yet with
shaggy hair like The Boss But his hands
were big enough to handle gun. His back
was long and he carried himself very straight,
with his head high, and something about him
made you know that he was used to being
in the woods just the easy way he moved.
This was his man, he knew at glance. He
did not have to look any further.
The boy was with an older man, about the
same age as The Boss. Evidently the older
man and The Boss knew each other, because

A Short Short Story

"E'D always wanted man of his own. His
III father had man that he hunted with,
and slept on the floor beside at night, and
always referred to as The Boss; but his fathers
man was considerably older than he person
ally had in mind. Obviously his father didn't
think his man was so old, but they had be-
longed to each other ever since his father was
puppy, and probably his father didn't real
ize that there was little gray in the mans
hair now, and he didn't jump over stone walls
or run up steep hill as fast as he used to-
The Boss was all right for his father, but what
he wanted was somebody more his own age
somebody he could grow up with and have
all his life.
He used to plan what he'd do with this
man when he found him. He would take him
wherever he went, of course, and let him
sleep in the same room with him, and in the
fall they would 60 hunting together. He was
not quite sure what hunting was, because he
was only six months old and his father had
never let him come along; but he had seen his

The Boss came hurrying out of the house and
shook the older mans hand, and then shook
hands with the boy. II heard you had this
new litter, Earl" the older man said to The
Boss, so l brought the youngster over. I
want him to have good hunting dog"
They're all good" The Boss smiled.
They're by old Duke, that I've hunted with
for over six years."
L HE boy was standing so near that he could
almost touch him, and he braced his paws
against the wire and tried to catch the boys
eye. If he could catch the boys eye and tell
him, then the boy would know, too. Once the
boy almost looked at him, but just then the
older man spoke to him, and he turned.
Which one do you like, son?" the older
man asked.
The boys eyes moved slowly over the other
pups in the yard, and finally came to him,
and stopped. He looked expectantly at the
boy, thinking of all the things they were going
to do together. He could see them reflected
clearly in his eyes, like looking at himself in
pan of water. He saw them getting into
car together, and the boy had a gun, and they
were both grinning and he began to make
funny whining sound in his throat, and then,

which God made "from all
eternity" The Son of God was
given for mans redemption
long, long before He was nail
ed to the Cross Of Calvary, for
He, as the Lamb of God, was
'Eslain from the foundation of
the world" (Rev. 1888. Gods
work of providing redemption
was not an afterthought with
God, but was specifically pro-
vided for a fallen race before
the beginning of creation. All
that is necessary for man now
to do is to receive Christ Jesus
into his heart and life, and
from that moment on he will
be in possession of ''eternal
life; he will be saved from
his sins and be made a new
creature in Christ Jesus.

Is, 16; 0:21-24; Romans

Hebrews 1877, 10.
God did not consider it wise
to send His Son into the world
at the beginning of mans fall
en- condition. He waited for the
long period of four thousand
years: then in "the fullness of
times" or as Paul gives it here
"at the appointed time" (when
conditions in the world were
ripe both in Israel and the
pagan worldly, God made pos
sible the Virgin Birth of Jesus,
the Savior of the world" He
said "the Son of man is come
to seek and to save that which
is lost" Before Jesus assembled
to Heaven, He commissioned
His disciples to go into all the
world and preach the Gospel
to call nations" To the minis
try in the Church is entrusted
the special work of preaching,
but every follower of Jesus
can and should have a part in
giving out the Gospel.

Sc; II Timothy 1 g, 10; He
brews 8:6-13; II Peter 1:
Ia.
The expression in verse two
Gin hope of eternal life" is
most significant. In using these
words, Paul desired to set forth
the fact that he was not liv-
ing primarily for the things of
earth, but that Heaven was his
fixed goal; that he was look
ing forward to the time of
Christ's Coming when all the
saints shall receive immortal
life in a glorified body. We do
not, however, need to wait for
Christ's Coming to have eter-
nal life, for the moment one is
born from above, he receives
Eternal life. Christ alone can
impart both eternal and i'm
mortal life, for He made them
possible by His atoning death
and glorious resurrection. Je-
sus said in His High Priestly
Prayer, "This is life eternal,
that they might know Thee,
the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, Whom Thou hast sent"
Notice also the words of
Paul that this eternal life was
promised by God "before times
eternal" Instead of the ex-
preston "God Who cannot
lie," a preferable translation is
"God Who is absolutely truth
full" When God makes a prom
Use, He will not violate it. The
Word gives many instances of
great promises which God
made and kept. Satan's policy
from the beginning has been
to deceive man with false
promises, so as to lure him on
to destruction. How much bet
ter for one to put his trust in
God, and expect the fuffilment
of His promises. The greatest
of all Gods promises is that

The Epistle to Titus is one
of the important pastoral
epistles dealing primarily with
the subject of Church-govern-
ment. It was written from
Rome about the year IS A. D..
In Galatians, mention is made
of Titus as an uncircumcised
Gentle accompanying Paul to
the, Council in Jerusalem. Also
in four different chapters in
Second Corinthians, Paul re-
fers to Titus as a trustworthy
and unselfish messenger to the
Corinthian church. In this
epistle Titus is seen active in
the Isle of Crete, south of
Greece, being commissioned
by Paul to set the Church of
that place in proper order both
in doctrine and in practical
matters.

In the salutation given in
verse one, Paul refers to him
self as "a servant of God, and
an apostle of Jesus Christ"
From the day OF his conversion
on his way to Damascus, all
through his life and ministry,
Paul considered himself a
bondslave of Jesus Christ, ever
ready and willing to do the will
of God in the spreading of the
Gospel. He was given a spe-
cial commission as "the apostle
to the Gentiles," and was es-
pecially qualified and fitted to
set forth the deeper meaning
of the Gospel, as seen in all of
his epistles. Here in his salu-
tation he declares that he is
Gods messenger according to
the faith of Gods elect"
To Paul, the Gospel was not
merely philosophy setting
forth ''the knowledge of the
truth" pertaining to creation
and redemption, but was
power which would change the
sinful life into one of goodness.
