ADVENTURERS CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELFI The Particular Thief By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter Hello everybody: whos the guest speaker at our Adventure banquet today? Well, sir, its Mrs. Anna Robinson of Bronx, N. Y. And whats she going to talk about? Why, Anna is going to tell the strange tale of the thief who didnt want money. That thief certainly made things complicated for Anna. If he had wanted money, it would have been simple. Anna could have given it to him, and hed have been satisfied. But when a man demands something you havent and threatens to kill you if you dont give it to him Well, if youre ever in a spot like that, I hope you make out as well as Anna did. It all happened in a doctors office in the little upstate New York town of Jeffersonville. In 1927, Anna was working there as a nurse. It wasnt a hard job, but it was a lonesome one, for the doctor was out on calls most of the day, leaving Anna in charge. One quiet afternoon in March, though, Anna had a caller. The doctor was out as usual when the door bell rang, and Anna answered the ring to admit a tall, ragged stranger with a desperate look in his eye. One look at him told Anna that this was an emergency case but little did she dream that the emergency would be her own! This Caller Just Wanted Coke. The man pushed his way past her and hurried into the office. Is the doctor in? he wanted to know. Thats where' Anna gave the wrong answer. The man was obviously in a hurry. The doctor wouldnt be back for several hours. Anna told him she wasnt expecting the Doc to return for quite a while and suggested that he try at the office of another doctor nearby. It was just what the stranger wanted to know. A change came over his face, and a crafty look gleamed in his eyes. . So youre alone, eh? he said. I was taken aback, says Anna. I said, Yes, Im alone, but the minute I said it I could have bitten off my tongue. If Id only thought first told him there were other 'people in the building I could have saved myself the trouble that I was evidently in for. But the damage was done, and all I could do was stammer, What do you want? He said: Oh, Ill get it myself, and started walking toward the inner office. At first Anna thought he was just a petty thief, and as the man walked toward the office she remembered something the doctor had often told her.

He passed straight cabinet and began staring at the by the desk, went to the medicine r labels on the bottles. He stared a long time while his forehead knitted in a puzzled frown. Evidently he couldnt understand the labels. At length he turned angrily on Anna and cried: Wheres the coke? Ready to Kill for the Drug. That explained things and at the same time it threw Anna into a panic. This man was no petty thief who would be satisfied with money. He was a dope addict, crazed by a craving for cocaine. He would rob kill do anything to get that precious shot of narcotic, and to her dismay, Anna realized that there wasnt so much as a grain of cocaine in the place. We have no cocaine, she stammered. The man turned on her in a rage, his eyes blazing, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. Dont lie to me, he shouted. Get it. Get it or Ill And he took a step toward her, raising his claw-lik- e hands to her throat. I was terribly frightened. My thoughts ran in circles. Says Anna: He stood between me and the telephone, madness and murder in his I could not hope that someone would come in, as the local eyes. people knew the doctors office hours were in the evening. .Screaming would do me no good, for screams coming from a doctors office might only mean that some poor devil was having a broken bone set. And if I even tried to scream, those terrible claw-lik- e hands would close about my throat. There was only one way out. I had to gamble on the one defense God gave to women talk. She Talked Him Into Submission. With fear clutching at her heart, Anna began to talk quietly to the stranger. She explained that few doctors kept pure cocaine that they used derivatives like novocaine instead, and sent her home. All that was quite a few years ago, and Anna has been away from Jeffersonville a long time.

She told him a lot of other things about drugs, too. As she talked, her fear of the man wore away, for the madness had gone out of his eyes and he sank into a chair, head hanging and dejected. Then Anna switched to another tack. She began talking against the use of drugs, painting a terrible picture of what they would do to him if he kept on using them. She told him the best thing to do would be to go to the local health officer and take a cure for drug addiction told him that if his system really needed cocaine, the health officer would give it to him. And believe it or not, the dope addict agreed with her. He waited while Anna called the health officer on the phone, and went along peacefully when the officer came to get him.

Digestibility oi Cheese The foregoing outline of its many food values should give a new conception of its place in the diet. As to its digestibility, studies' by the United States Department of Agriculture have entirely disproved the fallacy that it is not completely digestible. It was found that on an average about 95 per cent of the protein and over 95 per cent of the fat of cheese were digested and absorbed.

A post card is all that is neraarytocarryyourrequeei practically no difference between cheese and meat with respect to ease of digestion, at least in such quantities as are commonly eaten. There was also a notion that because it is so high in food value, cheese should only be eaten in small quantities. But scientific tests have proven that cheese may be eaten by normal individuals in large quantities, as the principal source of protein, with entirely beneficial effects upon health. Place of Cheese in the Diet There is a case on record of a young man who lived for two years on a daily diet consisting of pound of cheese, a loaf of whole wheat bread and two pounds of fruit. While this limited diet might prove monotonous to some people, it is possible to utilize cheese as the easiest method of providing important food value, varying the diet, and simplifying meal preparation. For there are more than 200 distinctive varieties of cheese listed by the department of agriculture, ranging from the smooth, delicately flavored cream cheese, which may be given to very young children, to the sharp tangy cheese which is especially popular with men. Fortunately, almost every type can be purchased in packaged form, in sizes that are convenient for large and small families, making it possible to enjoy a wide variety. Cheese can be used as a main dish; in salads or sandwiches; as a sauce for vegetables; as a dessert. It is desirable at the same time to serve bulky foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Cheese may also be combined advantageously with carbohydrate foods. This is because the balanced diet requires more carbohydrates than protein. And cheese is essentially a protein food, interchangeable with meats and fish. one-pou- one-ha- lf nd 1 Questions Answered Mrs. F. T. M.
