One of the conditions of the deal is that Kelsey adopt Holmes' pen name, "Templeton Sayles." After Holmes departs on a trip, a telegram arrives for Sayles which Kelsey leaves unopened. Glunk, odd man servant, places the debutante's picture on the mantel. The Park Avenue Van Strattens, at breakfast with their niece Marion, are horrified to find her picture In the paper as one of ten remaining contestants for the Purity Pictures award, and learn that Liggett Morse, admirer, has entered Marion's picture on a bet. She is threatened with being taken abroad until the "scandal" dies down, and decides adventurously to go through with the contest.

Moby Dickstein was there at once. "Afternoon, Bwana," said he, using the honorific title which he had bestowed upon his principal, what time the young millionaire had returned from a week's stop in Cairo, bringing with him an almost life-siphotograph of himself in a triumphal attitude, surrounded by dead (and stuffed) lions. A. Leon smiled benignly. "Has that tenth beauty got here yet?" "Sure, Bwana. They're all here." "How late was she?" "About an hour." The magnate frowned. "That's Number 3245 D, ain't it?

Beside them stood a fattish young man with pouchy, piggy eyes and a dormant expression which they later discovered to be a deceptive mask for the quick and jaunty mind within.

The Snydacker name, in small lettering, formed the bottom line. It also appeared upon another tioer, In a display which, by comparison, seemed almost modest: PURITY PICTURES, INC. A. Leon Snydacker, President From this strange conjunction of the medical with the pictorial the girl's interested gaze wandered to a clock which at once, as if awaiting that incitement, struck twelve. "Am I late?" she inquired perfunctorily. "Only an hour," said a sweet little voice. "Cool as a hog on Ice," grumpily commented somebody. - A rounded young thing rose and slouched across the room.

It had been supposed that the fat on our bodies stayed put a long time where It was stored. It turns out after heavy nitrogen experiments that while we may not gain or lose any weight our fat particles are in constant and relatively rapid turnover all the time.

There are, I believe, two reasons for this. First, unlike some of the other vitamins, vitamin C is not stored by the body, so that it is impossible to build up a reserve supply. In order to maintain top health, s it therefore must be furnished while in a scorbutic animal, they in the diet every day. Second, contain practically none.

For careful l!L L experiments have determined that, because of their high acid content, these two foods retain their vitamin C to a remarkable degree, when commercially canned or when cooked quickly in the cooking. well-know- n lNf . spJ home. Functions of Vitamin C ,The full importance of including an adequate supply of vitamin foods in the diet can only be fully appreciated when the amazing functions of this antiscorbutic vitamin are fully understood. Long years before the first vita min had been discovered, and when the science of nutrition was still in its infancy, English physicians observed that the use of orange juice would help to cure children of a serious disease characterized by a sallow, pale complexion, flabby muscles, and a painful inflammation of the membrane surrounding the bones of the legs. And as early as 1795 it was also discovered that British sailors could be prevented from developing the painful and serious disease of scurvy if they were given a regular ration of lemon juice, which had been evaporated to a syrup. It was because lemon, then called lime, juice was invariably prescribed for the navy that British sailors came to be known as "limies," a term which is still in use today. Scurvy a Controllable Disease Scurvy was thus prevented or cured in both children and adults, long before scientists learned that precious vitamin C is the controlling factor in this disease. And shortly after the turn of the century a systematic study was begun by scientists in both Europe and America to discover all the foods that possessed the almost magical power to prevent and cure this former scourge of mankind. In the course of many painstaking investigations and brilliant discoveries, we have gradually increased our knowledge of scurvy until today we know that the substance which prevents the disease is vitamin C. . May Retard Growth in Children It has also been .noted that many cases of latent scurvy can be found among children and adults in all walks of life. It has been determined, for example, that many children who are rest- less, irritable, or retarded in growth are in reality suffering from a deficiency of vitamin C. When deprived of this vitamin, animals develop experimental swollen, tender joints, sore jaws and spongy, bleeding gums, while the teeth become loosened and assume irregular positions. Hemorrhages may occur almost anywhere in the body, due to capillary weakness, and are particularly common in the kidneys, intestines, bone marrow, under the skin, in the muscles and adrenal glands. Indeed, one of tbe most interesting of all tbe discoveries concerning vitamin C was made with guinea pigs. It was observed that In a healthy animal, the adrenal glands are rich in vitamin C, pyor suggested rhea may be associated directly with a vitamin C deficiency. Certainly, there is enough con vincing evidence, as a result of work with both children and adults, to indicate the importance of an adequate supply of vitamin C in maintaining healthy teeth.

Houston W ' BACKIN6FQQT -- wfiT , WNU By HOW-SE- foot Orange and tomato juice have been used interchangeably for quite some time as a convenient and easily available source of vi tamin C. In recent years, some experiments performed at a leading university have given a high ranking to cranberries on this score, so that they, too, may be ranked as a significant source of vitamin C. These brilliant little red berries come into market in the fall the very time when it is important to eat generously of fruits to fortify the body against fall and winter ills. Their tart flavor helps to stimulate appetite and their fruit acids promote intestinal tone. Neither the maturity nor variety of the fruit appears to have any influence on the vitamin content, and even when cooked, as whole fruit sauce, they retain from 75 to 80 per cent of the original vitamin C content of the fruit. Cranberries are also a fair source of vitamin A which is not impaired by cooking, and they contain iodine, iron, copper and manganese. Because they are such a versatile fruit, cranberries can be utilized throughout the menu and at any meal. Thus orange and tomato juice may be varied at breakfast by serving a cranberry conserve, jelly or sauce, or a cranberry juice cocktail. For lunch or dinner, this same fruit may be served as an appetizer; with the meat course; or used to make a variety of attractive desserts. foods If vitamin are included generously in the daily diet, the homemaker may well feel that she has provided her family with an important form of health insurance. -- "Research Professor of Economy" SHE'S not a PH.D. or an LL.D.
