A Knock Announces the Arrival Of Spencer, the
Undewoods, ond Another Mon, Fomior to Them All

about Dicky. It's not a job l crave"
II imagine not" l told her ab-
sently, for my eyes were on the door
to which Winters had gone. But
neither my father nor the physician
were outside. Winters admitted Mr..
Olsen, the rotund manager of the
Lansfeld, and short, tubby middle
aged man, whom l had heard ad-
dressed as Watkins, and who,
knew, was the head of the elevator
operators.
"Good, quick work, Mr.. Olsen"
Philip Veritzen commended. Please
be seated, both of you. l cannot tell
you what this means until Mr.. Spen-
GER comes. He ought to be here in
a few minutes"
"Wouldn't you like to kick him
in the teeth for that grand seignur
manner of his?" Katharine asked
me prison fashion. "He hasn't
spoken to Watkins, unless that both
of YOU could be interpreted as a
salutation."
Il know" l told her sympatheti-
cally, and then there was another
knock, and everybody in the room
mentally stood at attention,
thought, as Winters went to the
door.
Tall Figure
When, second later, he admitted
my father, accompanied by the
Underwoods, and tall 1.-THE figure
l well remembered, everybody save
Dicky rose and came forward to
meet the group. But even as my
fathers arms encircled me, his eyes
went inquiringly around the room
and came to rest on Dicky, watch
ing us from the couch.
"You told me you were all right,
Son." he said, as he released me
from his embrace. Then he cupped
his hand beneath my elbow, and
propelled me to Dicky's side.
What has happened to you?' he
demanded.
Nothing very much" his son-in-
law told him. Il told you the truth
when l said l was all right. My cap
tive catamount, or whatever species
of fauna he is, pulled a trigger on
me, and got me in the arm but I'm
all right
"You don't look it," my father
said. Margaret, what is the truth
of this, and why isn't there sur
geon here?"

Elderly People
Suffering From
Heart Disease
By HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN, MD.

TODAY medical men are devoting
more time and thought to the prob
lens of the aged than ever before,
not only with the hope of ,prolong-
ing life but of making it more COM
Portable during the declining years.
This is a very worthwhile effort
because the aged are faced with
gradual physical and mental de-
cline. Changes occur particularly in
the connective tissues of the body,
and these changes interfere with
the nutrition of the body tissues in
general.
Older Age Groups
Many patients in the older age
groups suffer from diseases affect
ing the coronary arteries which
carry blood to the heart muscle, as
well as from high blood pressure
and some degree of heart failure.
Hardening of the arteries through
out the body may limit the blood
supply available to the various body
structures.
In treating these conditions in the
aged, so-called physical medicine
has been found to be of some i'm
portance. By physical medicine is
meant the use of such things as
heat, light, massage, and exercise.
Heart Disease Patients
In patients with heart disease,
physical medicine will not cure the
condition but may bring about
enough improvement so that the pa
tient can live a more comfortable
and more active life. Certain forms
of physical treatment may be used
at home. These include such things
as simple, mild exercise and mas
sage. The correct use of these meas
ures helps to prevent the weakening
of muscles and aids in keeping the
patient in better physical condition,
30 that as his heart disorder i'm
proves, he can more quickly resume
normal activities.
Many patients with heart disease
are benefited by baths in so-called
mineral waters. Many of these min
eral waters contain carbon dioxide.
There is evidence that the carbon
dioxide is taken up by the skin
through the mineral baths and has
an effect on the smaller blood ves-
sells near the surface Of the body.
With such treatment, patients seem
to have less severe attacks of heart
pain and are able to take more exer-
else without discomfort than they
could without the baths.
Heat treatment seems to be of
value in hardening Of the arteries
in the legs, with such symptoms as
/ numbness and tingling. The heat
ID Of value, but only when properly
applied in the right amounts. There
should mot be so much heat applied
that the temperature Of the legs is
raised higher than the temperature
of the body Is a whole. There is
value in heat for these patients, but
It must b. moderate.

peas. Grated cheese is always served
with it. When made with a basis of
dried vegetables and served with
cheese, it's a partial meat substi-
tute, perfect for lunch; or to serve
as first course at dinner when the
main dish is comparatively light.

GOOD news! Plenty of cram
berries this fall. A record crop at
reasonable prices. And plenty of
ways to use them, too.
The best cranberry pie l ever ate
was in a log cabin kitchen years
ago, high in the hills of New Jersey.
Iwent there as bride of a venture
some young agricultural graduate
who bought a farm in the locality.
1t was isolated and lonesome, our
nearest neighbors an elderly cou-
Pile, "Phoebe and Phil Snow, three
quarters of mile away. One Octo-
Der day went "cranberryin'" with
Phoebe in the bog on their farm.
How enchanting the bright red fruit
looked nesting in the rosy frost
tinged leaves! "Td like for you and
your man to come to dinner Sum-
day., said Phoebe. "We'll have a
good dish of CAB, and I'll make a
pie outa some of these cranberries.
Bunches of Herbs
1t was exactly one O'Clock by the
old grandfather's clock in a corner
of Phoebe's kitchen when we ar
rived. Bunches of herbs and strings
Of apples hung drying from the raft
ers. High over the old wood stove
was suspended a huge wire tray,
covered with a layer of cranberries
drying in the heat rising from the
stove, to stew in the late winter, to
"help stave off spring fever,
Phoebe explained.
A red-checkered cloth, and her
best blue and white dishes were
ready on the kitchen table. Draw
up your chairs, folks, and fall to-,
Phoebe invited.
So Phoebe and Phil-and the
young farm couple from outside,
ate their fill of foods produced on
the farm. And it was mighty good
eating and mighty fine hospitality.

One Of the best exercises for neck
muscles is bending the neck first to
the right as far as you can, then to
the left. then forward, then back
ward. When you're doing work
which requires you to look down,
rest every so often by raising your
head and stretching in this fashion.

Food for Thought

If ready-to-eat cereals get limp,
heat heavy skillet, pour in the ce-

Turn off the heat, cover, and let

Household Hints

If you are using a cooking utensil
over an open fame at an outdoor
picnic or supper, rub the outside
with a wet cake of soap. SCOT which
collects on it will be more easily
removed with an old paper after
coating with soap.

GUARDING THE o L

Brete Hart would have delighted in the situation that has
arisen at San Francisco, headquarters of a centennial celebra-
ton. San Francisco is celebrating the Tooth anniversary OF
James Marshalps discovery of gold in California. But San
Francisco has no gold, and the United States government,
which has $2O,OO0 000, 900 buried at Fort Knox, refuses to re-
lnquish a single bar or ingot for exhibition purposes says In
dependent Record.
Wrote Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, who has been director of the
mint ever since Roosevet's first term, to Carl Eastman, chair
man of San Francisco Centennial committee.
"t would give me much pleasure to be able to comply with
your desire, and it is with reluctance l state that to do so would
conflict with the rigid laws and regulations that bear upon
the protection of previous metals in the custody of the mint"
Mrs. Ross suggested that the mint might help in getting
some imitation gold for San Francisco to exhibit. The idea has
a certain appeal-the United States mint furnishing a gold
brick with a printed card bearing the warning: Cali that gitters
is not gold"
The $40, 100000 900 buried at Fort Knox does not glitter,
CLEAN or glow. What relation it bears to the financial structure
of the United States none knows. Mrs. Ross, offering to ship
some imitation gold to San Francisco, could not afford, in her
official position, to suggest that any 1913 dollar would serve
as well.

Jan. 10. The passing of Johns.
one of the most widely known
newspaper editors in Montana, was
of particular interest to many Lau-
rel people, as it was he who estab-
lished the Laurel Outlook. During
his career "Jeffy" had been a cen
trail figure in many battles, editori-
ally and politically. He a seated
in his office late Friday afternoon
when he was stricken. He died
shortly afterwards at the Sisters
hospital in that city where he had
been taken by employees. He had
been the editor of many newspapers
in the state. He founded the Lau-
rel Outlook in July, 1908, about
the time. the grand celebration which
the local citizens staged on the oc-
casion of the opening of the round
house at Laurel. After conducting
