HOUSTON GOUDISS 8 East 38th St.. New York. WE LIVE in the most inspiring age the world has ever Chemists grow plants without soil. Doctors snatch men from death with insulin. Surgeons perform in-credibly delicate brain operations. And thanks to the amaz-ing discoveries of nutritional scientists, children enter the world with far better chances for long and happy lives, while men and women of seventy are more active and useful than their grand- - parents were at fifty. Much of the hard - won knowledge of how to eat so as to increase efficiency, curb disease, and improve the chances for longevity is due to the discovery of vitamins. VITAMINS DISCOVERED Twenty-si- x years ago, a now-famo-scientist walked nervously & green leaves and yellow fruits and vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, apricots and bananas. APPETITE AND VITAMIN B Vitamin B promotes appetite, aids digestion, prevents a serious nerve disorder. It is essential to the maintenance of a good diges-tion, which is vitally important if the body is to obtain full benefit from the food consumed. This vitamin is closely related to the energy metabolism, and the re-quirement increases with the rate of growth and with increased en-ergy expenditure, so that growing children and working men and women should receive very gen-erous amounts. Vitamin B is found in yeast, whole wheat cereals, oatmeal, milk, fresh and dried peas and beans, spinach, cabbage and other greens, egg yolk and liver. VITAMIN C FOR TEETH, GUMS Vitamin C plays an important part in regulating body processes, and prevents the dread disease of Li.nafW ka around his labora-tory, back and forth back and forth. He was con-ducting a nutrition experiment of vast importance. H e didn't quite know what he was going to find, but he be-lieved that he was on the verge of a revolutionary food discovery. i i children and adults depend upon you for their food supply. It lies within your power to help them to health and happiness or condemn them to weakness, Illness and sor-row. Do not fail them. See to it that every member of your hous-eholdyour children, the wage earners, the middle aged and the elderly get enough vitamins to afford them the health that sci-ence has placed within their grasp. O WNU C. Houston Goudlae 1938. The scientist was my friend, Ccsimir Funk, a brilliant Polish He had been work-ing on the problem for many years. At last, in the year 1912, his experiments were positive and conclusive. Then he announced to the scientific world that he had discovered a vital force. "This force," said Funk, "I have called vitamine, because it is necessary to life." Thus, the word "vitamin" came into being, along with the first knowledge of these minute but powerful factors which exert such a tremendous influence on human health and happiness. SPARK PLUGS OF NUTRITION Other throughout the world including Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins in England, and Hart, Humphrey, Babcock, Steen- - scurvy. A lack of this essential vi-tamin results in profound changes in the structure of the' teeth and gums, may be responsible for hemorrhages occurring anywhere in the body, and for the degenera-tion of muscle fibers generally. Vitamin C is most abundant in succulent fresh green leaves, such as green cabbage. It is also found in onions, potatoes, oranges, to-matoes, green peppers, bananas and strawberries. In most foods, it is easily destroyed by heat-t- hat is why it is so important to include some fresh raw foods in the diet daily. VITAMIN D AND RICKETS Vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin because it can be manufactured in the body through the action of direct sun-light on the skin. This is the vita-min that is necessary for the proper utilization of calcium and phosphorus in building bones and teeth. When it is lacking in the diet of infants, there develops that horrible disease known as rickets, in which the bones become soft and twisted, resulting in pitiful deformities knock knees, bow legs, pigeon breast. In foods, vitamin D is only found in appreciable amounts in fish-liv- er oils and egg yolk. That is why every homemaker should be so' grateful to the scientists who labored to discover how to con-centrate this precious vitamin from fish-liv- er oils and add it to foods, or to increase the vitamin D content of foods through irradi-ation. bock and McCollum in the United States had been working on the same problem that Funk had par-tially solved. They knew that the first step was to find out how vita-mins affected the human body, and that the second step was to discover what foods contained these vital substances. And so there began a long se-ries of experiments in the labora-tories of great universities all over tife world, which demonstrat-ed what happens when a diet is deficient in any of the vitamins, and proved that if laboratory ani-mals are wholly deprived of vita-mins for a short time they will die. These experiments are of the ut-most significance to every home-make- r, because the same thing happens to human beings as to experimental animals. Today our knowledge of vitamins has pro-gressed to such a degree that it is possible to state the exact re-quirement for most of the vita-mins and to designate the foods from which adequate quantities can be obtained. RESISTANCE AND VITAMIN A To date, six vitamins have been identified. Vitamin A promotes growth and builds resistance to disease. It is necessary for the health of the mucous membranes of the body and helps to guard against infections of the respira-tory and alimentary tracts. It in- - fluences the health of the hair and skin, is necessary to prevent a serious eye disorder known as night blindness, and is essential for the formation of healthy teeth. Vitamin A is found in milk, but-ter, margarine that has been re-inforced with vitamin A concen-trate, egg yolk, cod-liv- er oil, thin ANTI-STERILIT- VITAMIN E Vitamin E comes in for less dis-cussion than the others, because its significance to nutrition has not been fully determined. It does, however, appear to be necessary for successful reproduction and is found especially in wheat germ and lettuce. VITAMIN G PROLONGS YOUTH Vitamin G is necessary for growth and for the maintenance of health and vigor at all ages. It helps to ward off old age by prolonging the vigorous middle years. It is essential to the health of the skin, and recent experi-ments demonstrate that cataracts in the eyes may be due to a de-ficiency of this vitamin, which is found in yeast, and in liver, kid-neys, egg yolk, milk, cheese and green leafy vegetables. One authority claims that chronic disorders of the throat, stomach, lungs, colon, heart and kidneys may be traced to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Certainly enough has been learned of vitamin chemistry to make clear that the homemaker fails in her duty who does not pro-vide vitamins in abundance for every member of her family.

Dirk jjlet him test the gun for Jbut promptly took It back 1 . came back at his astonished from far eyes beyond the riders. While amazement still paralyzed his vocal chords he saw every horse sink on Its haunches and come to a slither-In- g stop. It was what Dirk had planned. In that Instant of suspend-e- d movement he drew the foresight down to the vanishing point, stead-le- d and fired again. There came the answering thud of a hit. Dora-do's big sorrel squatted, rushed from under his rider and fell dead. "I missed him!" groaned Dirk. "I killed the horse!" Joyce came racing along the es-planade. "Who did that?" she asked angrily. "Who fired that shot?" Already Dorado had been swept up by two of his followers and the whole troop was riding away at a gallop; behind remained the still mound of the sorrel, a dark mon-ument suddenly erected against the shimmering gold of the desert. Dirk rolled over and sat up. "I did." "You're a butcher!" cried Joyce, her eyes blazing. "You come to my house, an uninvited guest, and amuse yourself by shooting horses!" Dirk's cheeks flushed with anger. "The man out there shot me up fore we start. You're going to ride RaJ because he's a shade lighter and not so touchy In the mouth. If you do what I say. you'll be aU right; if you don't you may break a neck the horse's or yours." "I'll be good," said Joyce. Im-pressed by his earnestness. "What are your orders?" "Walk a mannered horse for half a mile," said Dirk, "and you can do anything with him; start him off with a rush and he'll ride your arms cu4 of their sockets. So we're going to take them away slow." As they passed through the great gate there was a bit of prancing and champing on the bit but with soothing words and a light hand Dirk coaxed Tronido back Into a walk and a moment later Joyce per-suaded Rayo to follow suit They rode along the faint trail, scarcely used save by which pro-vided the sole access for cars to the hacienda. The road meandered more or less parallel to the bar-ranca which widened by almost Im-perceptible gradations the farther they went. At last Dirk permitted a trot and turned amused eyes on Joyce. To his amazement she took it quite easily, leaned to it, caught its rhythm and laughed a happy laugh. "Oh. Dirk!" "Joycel" On the same impulse they slowed the horses again and stared at each other. "That was funny," said Joyce. "Wasn't It?" agreed Dirk. He urged Tronido into a trot, then lifted him into an easy canter and held him there. "How are you mak-ing it?" he asked. "Fine," said Joyce, "but you tell me." "Ease your back a bit and sit Into the saddle. That's the stuff. Are you game for a gallop while we're still headed away from home." "Go ahead," said Joyce, and they did. The horse under her seemed to flatten out. No Jouncing up .and down, no swerving from a stright line only the feel of mighty mus-cles rippling rhythmically. They rode back more slowly and as they approached the hacienda she turned on him a face so glowing he felt his heart skip a beat and then do three in one. "Well?" she asked. J j ready with her answers she yet was so distrait as to give an impression of inner stillness. Though she avoid-ed looking directly at Dirk and Adan she was thinking of them, but think-In- g more of herself. What had come over her last night? Which person was she the woman of no age who had been kissed and had kissed back, or the girl who had sat shoul-der to shoulder on the parapet with a companion to whom she had poured out her heart as though she talked to another self? Were there fibers within her that responded to music alone and others that re-verberated solely to the sidereal harmony of moon, planet and star? She wondered. Dine was engrossed in a masterly discussion of agrarianlsm between Don Jorge and Arnaldo. Fresh from the capital, Adan was packed to the gills with theory and regarded the parceling out of all the land in the republic as an ultimate panacea for every 11L Don Jorge, rooted In the soil, aware of its divergence and as close to the peon as he was to his tight-fittin- g charro breeches, ad-- mitted the cure only to damn it with a qualifying phrase "in a thousand years." "You can't overleap education the way you vault a mangy horse," he exploded. "You'd have to have a mildly educated people, but first catch your educated executive if you can. It isn't enough for a ruler to be honest, altruistic and stuffed with beneficent theories. Unless he's greater than God he can't bridge the gulf of ignorance between a peon and a tractor, nor grow enough gramma grass on a hundred hec-tares to give that peon's babies milk, nor change the sweep of wheat lands into lush bottoms crammed with garden truck. You agrarians run around with a foot-rul- e yelling, 'Behold the measure of all things!' You can measure a back yard with a footrule, but not a prairie. Our campesinos, dumb as they are, can see that Do you know what they're saying?" "No," said Adan smilingly, for he loved discussion for the talk's sake alone. "Tell me." "They've heard what happened in the north and they're giving it out they'll do the same here." "What's that?" asked Dirk. "Crop the ears off any agrarians who set foot on La Barranca. ve Desiae uic umih leired against it and focused glasses on a slowly moving r i dust.

"But you didn't hit him," cried Joyce, "you shot a horse you killed a poor horse." "What bunk!" intervened Arnal-do, lowering his field-glasse- s. "For one thing I'm sure he did hit Dorado though it may have been only through the leg. Add to that he just missed freeing you of all your troubles and has a bomb-proo- f alibi besides shooting at a bandit who's holding an American for ransom. Bunk to you and the dead horse!" "What American?" asked Joyce, her attention seized. "Man named Blackadder." said Dirk. "Ever hear of him?" "Blackadder!" gasped Joyce. "Mr. Helm Blackadder? Why" "I've thought of one more for the list!" interrupted Arnaldo excit-edly, laying an affectionate hand on Dirk's shoulder. "He's lifted the siege. You, he, and I for a day or two anyway we can go any-where." He turned to Leonardo. "What's become of Dorado's silver-plate- d "Do you want to know the truth?" "The whole truth." "I thought it would take you a month to learn what you already know." He Jumped off, handed her his reins to hold, tore down a high bean pole and laid it like a bar between two maguey plants. "Made to order," he commented as he mounted. "Watch me, then do ex-actly the same. Just stick on and leave the rest to Rayo." She jumpe-- i the bar once with a gasp of astonishment at her suc-cess, then ten times more with steadily increasing confidence and improving style. She would have been content to keep on for the rest of the day had not Dirk taken his revenge. "If you don't let up," he remarked dryly, "you're going to find out there are more ways than one of killing a horse." After ai afternoon spent in grooming the horses for sheer love of the work he came to dinner aglow from what he called an earned bath. Already he regretted having brought no change beyond a single lounge suit but tonight Arnaldo, save for shoulders exaggerated be-yond nature and a wasp-lik- e waist was dressed in like manner. Joyce had put on black not the semi-evenin- g frock of her first and last appearance at El Tenebroso, but it had an equal simplicity of line that gave her an almost sculptural ap-pearance. Changing her clothes had changed her mood. Gracious and They'll do it too, for though the peon has no education he has his backlog of fundamental knowledge. He doesn't have to starve to death to see starvation on the way any more than he had to learn to read and write before he could make up his mind the three model houses put up by my master and friend. Cutler Sewell, were no good." Joyce looked up. "Why weren't they? I've always wondered." "Because your father's education led him into the belief three rooms are better than one, while the peon's backlog of knowledge has taught him one room is infinitely better than three since the sum of the warmth of his kitchen fire, his milch goat, his wife, six children and a couple of pigs constitute, at no ex-pense, exactly the sort of central heating system which is slowly making England a livable country." They laughed, rose and separat-ed; it was already late, there was no need tonight to make the rounds. How does a girl, lacking long so-cial training and apparently inno-cent of finesse, leave one man in the lurch and walk off with another without either of them knowing how it happened? Dirk paused to ask Don Jorge a single unimportant question, but when he stepped out on the balcony Joyce and Adan were nowhere to be seen. He walked to the right hopefully until turning the angle opened a long empty vista. (TO BE CONTINUED) car?"

If not properly "fed" with a good oil polish, furniture in time develops what is known as "spider- -web check!" This appears on the finish, like wrinkles on the human face fine lines, spreading here and there in a spider-we- b pattern. This crazing, this light cracking, is known in furniture language as "checking" and "spider- -web checking" better de-scribes the condition. This is the danger-signa- l, on finish! It's the indication of "starving" wood! A warning to the housewife, that if the finish is not cared for imme-diately and properly, the furniture will develop cracks, ridges and splits. "Spider-we- b check" is gen-erally the result of either one of these two causes: Polish-negle- ct or the use of a poor, cheap pol-ish without the essential fine, light-o- il base. When the furniture is periodically "massaged" with a reputable oil polish (the best is non-greas- y) , the pores of the wood are "fed" and the piece is pre-served. Then "spider-we- b check'l, will not appear! The use of a quality oil polish is the best pre-ventive formula for this ugly, detrimental check! , . . . because not only cleans u it polishes, but preserves your fur-niture "feeds" the finish, prevents drying-out- , cracking.

It is literally true that all life on earth is "hanging by a thread," the thread of gravitation which links us to the sun, and holds the earth within the beneficent sphere of its radiation. If this thread should break, or if it should stretch ever, so slightly, or contract even by the smallest amount temperature con-- ! ditions would so change on esrth that we would all immediately freeze to death, or perish in a horror of suffocation and flame. Has the thought occurred to you that there might be a time when summer never will come again? We are accustomed to think of our ordinary seasonal variations in temperature as being of consider-able magnitude. To us 100 degrees Fahrenheit is unbearably hot; 30 degrees below tero insufferably cold. When either of these temper-atures is reached, according to Don-ald B. Harris, in the Coronet, we feel that nature must be exerting herself strenuously, in order to make us uncomfortable. In order to get even a faint idea of how critical our temperature adjust-ment is. we must imagine a very large heat regulator with a dial 14 inches long. One end of this dial is 454 degrees below zero, 1.800.000 de-grees above zero the other. Then the normal terrestrial range of temperature is represented by a line on the dial, narrower than the thinnest piece of thickness of the If we are to maintain tem-peratures on earth as they are the pointer must be set sqare- - Have You a Question ?
