I dont know whether those things ever happened out in the ,West. All I know is what I see in the movies. This incident Im going to .tell you about sounds like the West, but it happened .way over in the eastern part of Siberia, and it happened to Samuel C. Taylor of New York City. You know, we had troops in Siberia for a couple of years after the World war. Sam Taylor was one of them. He was With a platoon of 60 men from Company D, Thirty-firUnited States infantry, stationed at the little Siberian town of Uglonaya. iThe town itself was nothing but a railroad station and a few houses. The soldiers were living in half a dozen box cars that had been taken off their wheels and set on the ground beside the track. But though the town was small it was affording plenty of excitement. It was about the middle of January, and for days the Americans had been watching an army go through the town. It wasnt a hostile army but at the same time it wasnt a friendly one either. It was a Bolshevik army moving to attack Vladivostok, not far away as distances go in Siberia. two-gu- well-direct- ed st WHAT to EAT and WHY 8 C.

Sam had a .45 automatic, and it was a question of whether he or the Russian could shoot first. Without even taking time oat to think, he whipped that automatic up and let go. The big Russian dropped.

Guard Against Staleness The subject of coffee has been investigated from many angles by competent scientists, whose findings should be of interest to homemakers. The flavor and aroma of coffee are derived chiefly from a volatile oil, which is developed during the roasting process. But it has been established that this substance is rapidly lost from the coffee upon exposure to air. Moreover, each pound of coffee contains about two ounces of fixed oil which may become rancid in the presence of air. These changes occur whether the coffee is ground or in the bean. Since stale, flavorless coffee may have an adverse effect upon appetite, it is important to buy a product that is protected against the air, or to choose one that is freshly roasted. The homemaker should also buy coffee in small quantities so that it can be used up quickly once it is opened. After the coffee has been made, there may be a further escape of its flavor and fragrance with both heat and steam. That is why coffee should not be allowed to stand, but should be served the moment it is made, and why it should not be reheated. Tea also deteriorates when it is stored for long periods. It should therefore be bought in small quantities and kept in air-tig- ht caf-fei- fruit-flavor- ed pick-me-up- overlap-somewha- 1 Questions Answered Mrs. J. F. A.
