Show l. THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM, UTAH i WHAT to EAT and WHY CARBOHYDRATES and FATS Foods That Provide Motive Power For the Body Machinery By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS 6 Bait 38th St.. New York. THE human body might be compared to a framework filled machinery. It takes food to build the framework, food to run the machinery and food to keep it working eff-iciently and this food must be of the proper type. Last week, I discussed the body building proteins and explained how to distinguish between those which build and cumulate weight. It has been proven that anger and fright in-crease the amount of fat in the blood and remove a corresponding amount of fat from its usual stor-age place beneath the skin. A fit of anger may take off more fat than an hour's exercise, or two or three days of enforced diet. Thus the person who allows himself to become upset continually with-draws the fat reserve from his body. Such persons could profit, perhaps, by taking more of the foods. But whether the member of your family are good natured, or irritable, young or old, they need a constant sup-ply of fuel foods at every meal, every day. Fuel foods produce energyend energy is the motive power of life end work and thought. repair body tissue, and those, C WNU C. Houiton Goudiae 1938. that are adequate for main-tenance, but not for growth. It is equally important that you should learn something of the fuel foods which are neces-sary to fire the body engine and furnish motive power to propel the body machinery. Fuel Foods Keep Us Alive The body could not function in the absence of fuel foods any more than a machine could run without power, or a car without gas. Ev-ery breath re-quires an expendi-ture of energy, and so does every movement from the beating of the heart to the wink-ing of an eye. Even in repose, the body machin- - and do not utilize their potential energy in muscular effort, they will be stored as fat usually in most inconvenient locations! On the other hand, an excess of any food is a detriment. Therefor the goal should be enough, but not too much, of all necessary! foods. Since both carbohydrates and fats are energy foods, one might expect them to play an inter-changeable role in the diet. To a certain extent, they do, although fat, being more concentrated, pro-vides two and one-four- th times as much fuel value as an equal weight of carbohydrate. But because of tho variation in the way these materials are han-dled by the body, it is generally considered that health is best served when 40 to 50 per cent of the total energy value of foods is provided in the form of carbohy-drate and 30 to 35 per cent in the form of fats. Carbohydrates Are Quickest Fuel Carbohydrates, which originate chiefly in plant life, are readily converted into heat and muscle energy. Foods rich in carbohy-drates include bread, potatoes, macaroni, rice, cooked and ready-to-e- at cereals, peanuts, dried and preserved fruits, sugars and syrup. Sugar furnishes heat more quickly and more abundantly than any other food. But it has a ten-dency to dull the appetite and is also apt to cause fermentation. Therefore, a large measure of our heat and energy is best secured from starchy foods such as bread, ery is kept functioning only by an ever-prese- nt supply of fuel. For, as long as life continues even when you are lying perfectly still you need fuel to carry on the internal work of the body. Activity Demands Energy Foods Every type of daily activity, in-cluding work and exercise, re-quires additional fuel. If you walk slowly, you expend twice as much energy as when you sit still. And when you walk fast, you may use up four, five or six times as much energy. me cniei iiici, or energy pro-ducing foods, are the carboh-ydratesthat is, the starches and sugars; and fats. Protein also has some fuel value, but its pri-mary function is to build and re-pair tissue. Carbohydrates are quick burn-ing. They might be compared to the Rare of a match in a dark room, which gives bright light for an instant, but is soon ex-tinguished. Fat, on the other hand, burns slowly, like a lamp whose wick is turned low. Danger of Inadequate Fuel Supply Recently there has been a ten-dency to minimize the importance of the fats and carbohydrates, due to the craze for dieting. Some of the results of disregarding the ab-solute necessity for these foods are extreme irritability, and a greater susceptibility to fatigue, nervous diseases, tuberculosis and other infections. Too Much Fuel Causes Overweight It is true, however, that an excess of fuel foods will tend to produce over-weight. For if we assimilate them, cereals, macaroni and potatoes. Quick energy can also be ob-tained from the easily digested sugars of fresh and dried fruits, such as prunes, apricots, raisins and fully ripened bananas. Here is an interesting and important point which is frequently overlooked in unscientific reducing diets. Fat re-quires carbohydrates for its proper utili-zation by the body. That is why women who try to reduce without following a scientifically planned diet frequently become seriously ill as a result of cut-ting down on carbohydrates while over-looking the fats contained in milk, but-ter, and other foods. Relation of Fat To Health Fats are so necessary to the body economy that it is no exag-geration to say that without fat, life, in its higher forms, is im-possible. The noted Arctic ex-plorer, Stefansson, found that he could exist satisfactorily on an all-me- at diet, provided he ate lib-erally of fat. On a diet of all lean meat, he became violently ill within a week. Besides furnishing concentrated energy values, fats help to create the fatty tissue which cushions the nerves and abdominal organs, and forms the pleasing contours of face and figure. Because it leaves the stomach more slowly than proteins and carbohydrates, fat retards the di-gestion of these food groups some-what, and thus gives staying power to a meal. At the same time it promotes the flow of pancreatic juice and bite, thus helping in the assimilation of other foods. Foods rich in fat include butter, cheese, egg yolk, cooking fats and oils, margarine, olives, pastry, peanut butter, most nuts except chestnuts and lichi nuts, various kinds of sausage and frie dfoods.

The other two were open to such air as was available and matted heaps of hay showed they had been used as habitations. What interested him most, however, was the shaft he had surmised must exist. He found it on his third excursion and to his de-light discovered it was not vertical but ascended at a slant, showing whoever had sunk it had lacked a mechanical hoist. No doubt it was cluttered with debris, but where men had once passed a man could pass again. Here was a road to freedom, ready-mad- but reflection forced him to admit it could lead only to recapture or starvation in the desert; without a horse waiting at the exit it was useless. He reverted to the idea which had developed in a flash to the size of a n oak trade La Barranca for possession of Joyce. He had no illusions as to the cash value of the hacienda. Discovery of the bootleg gold diggings might have impressed a novice, but not an old-tim- who happened to know Mexican law es-tablishes the subsoil as the inalien-able property of the state.

He released him from the batea and installed him as nurse a change equivalent to a transfer from one galley bench to another since, needless to say, Pepe was in the vilest of tempers. Blackadder had often been called upon to act as surgeon in far more desperate cases amid surroundings fully as primitive. He procured a and from there to Mexico City." He paused. "Of course, If you should try any double-crossin- g In the way of holding us both for ransom you'd lose the hacienda in the end and perhaps your life." Dorado thought for a long time, his eyes half closed lest Blackadder read his mind. What fools these gringos were they still believed in honor among thieves! He pictured first La Barranca, most desirable of all haciendas as far as he was con-cerned, then Joyce whom two flashes had revealed to be as lovely a girl as he had ever seen. At the moment he honestly believed he could be happy with either as long as he lived but with both? Mere anticipation caused moisture to gather at the corners of his loose mouth. "In exchange for freedom and the senorita," he announced finally, "you make olTcr of La Barranca. So?" "That's it," said Blackadder. "I accept. The matter of your escape to Mexico City is not difficult to arrange. Near the hacienda there is a rope bridge which saves many miles. I have a car In Toluca; I shall send for it and hide It by night in an arroyo. I'll have horses at the bridge when you arrive with the senorita and I myself will be there to wish you both Godspeed. It re-mains only to agree on a signal an-nouncing you are ready." "That's the trouble," said Black-adder- , scowling.

Tomorrow I think perhaps I send have to carry the girl out against her will?" "So?" murmured Dorado curious-ly. "But let's not worry over such small difficulties. The moon is in its third quarter; before it rises there are two hours of darkness. When do you wish to start?" "Today. Now." "Beno. Tomorrow night, and the next, and the night after that, I shall spend the two hours imme-diately preceding the rising of the moon at the bridge on the north side. Be careful how you cross it." "I know all about rope bridges," said Blackadder. "What about your leg?" "You are a good doctor. It is quite nearly well. Today I can walk. I will show you; I shall go now to choose your horse and give orders." Blackadder took advantage of his absence to descend to the brook as though to wash his hands but in reality to recover his passport and wallet. Half an hour later, accom-panied by three guards armed with carbines, he was riding downstream toward the switchback path which had caused him such agony a few days before. Since it was the only exit from the barranca through all its length they were obliged, once the level of the prairie was reached, to ride all the way back around the camp before starting down the oth-er side. Before they made the turn, however, he noticed a peculiar de-pression masked by a patch of thorny acacias. Deliberately he passed to windward of it and caught a faint odor of smoke; so, he thought, had he risked the shaft here is where he would have come out. But that was not to be his only discovery. An hour later, chancing to glance across the barranca, he saw a sight that first puzzled, then amazed him. Three lorries were wending their way over the plain from the general direction of Tolu-ca. That in itself was not surpris-ing; what astonished him was their freight each was loaded with a howitzer. At first he had thought they were boilers; but no, there was no doubt about it, they were howitzers. He questioned the men but got only shrugs for his pains and a little farther on they came to a halt. (TO BE COXTISLED) one finger." "Listen, Dorado," said Blackad-der, "you and I have seen a lot of each other and we ought to be able to talk straight from the shoul-der. You occupied La Barranca for several years. Wouldn't you like to lay your hands on it again?" Dorado straightened too suddenly, groaned and settled back. "Go on," he ordered. "You talk, I listen, then I tell you." "You know who threw you out, don't you?" "That Pancho Buenaventura," cried Dorado, turning purple, "and his butcher-boss- . General Onelia." "No, no," said Blackadder impa-tiently. "Didn't you see a girl? Don't you know anything about her?" "Girl?" repeated Dorado, his eyes suddenly wide. "Yes, I see one girl. Verry nice girl. Who is she?" "The daughter of Cutler Sewell, the man from whom you stole the hacienda. He's dead and she owns it." "Me, steal!" cried Dorado, en-raged. "Pepe Dorado steal! No, no. That gringo, he abandon La Barranca." "Just so," said Blackadder, "ex-actly the way you abandoned it five or six days ago, exactly the way the present tenant might be urged into abandoning it again. Get it, or do you want half an hour to think the thing out?" "Si, si," murmured Dorado thoughtfully. "You tell me some more now." "Here it is the whole thing in a nutshell. I lied when I said I don't speak Spanish and again about be-ing a prospector. I'm Miss Joyce Sewell's guardian acting for her stepmother. We don't want her to stay at La Barranca at any price. When you held me up you did your-self a bad turn because I was on my way to drag her out. If you want the place, help me do it now." "How?" "Give me a horse. Send guards to watch me all the way into the hacienda." "Then what?" "Sooner or later I'll snake the girl out and La Barranca will be once more abandoned and at your mercy. The only thing that stumps me is how to get away to Toluca ye , I do," replied Adan in ' ies.

Then he boiled a kettle of water, tossed in a handful of salt and was ready. With a mighty grip he pressed the wound both ways from the inside out until the blood showed bright and clear of impurities. He took surly satisfaction in Dorado's howls of pain and a subsequent torrent of imprecations as the outlets were bathed with hot brine and then bandaged. Almost hourly thereafter the patient would insist on having the dressing removed. With plenty of salt water on hand Blackadder felt no fear of infection but resented such frequent interruption since he was busy with affairs of his own. Keeping his ears and eyes wide open, a single day sufficed to give him an accurate idea of the layout of the camp; since nobody thought he knew Spanish all talked freely in his presence.' It was situated at the northeastern extremity of the barranca where the chasm pinched out against sheer cliffs at whose feet burbled the spring which supplied the brook with water. At night all the miners nothing but enslaved peons picked up at random were herded into the depths of the two drifts opposite the one occupied by Dorado and himself. The riders then spread their petates in the airy entrances, forming a solid layer of bodies over which a fugitive would have to fly like a bat to escape. In addition two men with shotguns stood guard day and night at the right-angl- e turn downstream. So much for the exterior; by night, when sleep seemed to have a fair hold on his patient. Blackadder would slip away for subterranean exploration. Darkness was his greatest handicap. Matches were scarce, candles there were none nor any lantern. Again inventiveness backed by experience to say noth-ing of a knowledge of capillary at-tractioncame to his aid. Luxuri-ant castor oil shrubs grew in the shadow cast by the southern wall. He gathered a quantity of the ber-ries, crushed out their oil into a dis-carded tomato can and rolled a Strip off a bandage into a wick.
