D. 1 health and hygiene, not to disease , in care of this newspaper. SWEETS FOR THE STRONG AND THE YOUNG An athlete who has had years of athletic training in high school, col- lege and university, particularly in football and boxing, says the coach's instructions have always been to “go easy” on desserts that contain much sweet stuff and to “lay off” milk as milk is hard on the wind. He de- clares that athletes of his acquaint- ance who have followed these in- structions have most easily attained and maintained the pink of condi- tion. He believes sugar in the form of sweet chocolate or milk chocolate does no harm to a man in training but that the chocolate causes loss of wind and slows up the man’s work. However, and this is the place where we take a second “time out” to laugh, port.

In other editorials, The Tribune will | set forth the platform of the Demo- crats of North Dakota and also the campaign pledge of another group which calls itself the “Real Repub- lican Party” to distinguish them from the “Regular Republican Party” which is the title selected by the Nonparti- san League factions. North Dakota voters have a rather varied political menu offered this year. Discussion of the bill-of-fare will Presidential Poll Keen interest will center in the presidential poll just started by the Its referendum on ternational interest. Care in ballot He does not say whether it will be istribution and impartiality of the | ooiogists, poll were oustanding features of this journalistic stunt. Many Bismarck residents are re- ceiving the first allotment of ballots and local readers of the Literary Di- gest will watch with interest the “first returns” from the “sooner” presiden- j tial election. In passing, it might be recalled that in every state where there has been a test vote at the elections on the pro- hibition question, results as compiled by the Literary Digest have been con- firmed with but few exceptions. That is the best kind of a testimonial to the fairness of these polls which have been a feature of the Literary Digest for several years. In discussing the prospects for the Sing Sing football team this season, the manager announces that all prison athletic activities will be strictly intramural. No one ever questioned but what Calvin Coolidge would support Herbert Hoover. Canny “Cal,” however, sold the idea to the Saturday Evening Post ‘at very good space rates. Only a for- mer president can get top rates for a fair bedtime story.

Milk is a rather emergency use. One must take a quart of milk in order to get the same amount of nourishment (calories) one gets by eating less than four ounces of milk chocolate or sweet chocolate. It is not advisable to take such a large quantity of liquid into the stomach in the midst of a test of en- durance or strength. It might em- phragm and hence the return circu- jlation and seriously handicap the athletic performance. | The coaches betray their gullibili lor credulity when they sanction the |died fruits or in the form of the nat- jural fruit or in any other particula: form, if they do not approve of eat-| {ing plain cane sugar or candy or milk jchocolate.

That's all applesauce. The plain truth is that children or ! young persons who are physically ac- j tive, who play or work hard, require jand should have liberal rations of |sweets in desserts, such as candies, cakes, ice cream, puddings, etc. On the other hand, namby-pamby folk, young or old, who get by without ac- tually participating in the game or doing any real playing or working, fans, sports, spectators, old fogies, lazy people, and those who for any reason can’t play or work hard, should go easy with sugar and sweets.

Conners was a shrewd and clever showman, who wore a pearl grey bowler hat and a theatrical suit of clothes which in- cluded dollar-sized pearl buttons, He was, by himself, a sight for the eyes of tourists bent on getting large doses of local color. At the time, there actually were opium dens and white men and wo- men could get the sensation of “a smoke” almcet as readily as they can today get a snack of speakeasy liquor. Conners, aware of a visitor's thrill seeking, became a guide who con- ducted tourists through the opium dens. stagecraft, Conners created “hop den” scenes in the best yellow-novel fash- ion. Most of the places to which he Steered cash customers were mere “plants.” Here the wide-eyed visit- ing fi~men would observe white girls beside an Oriental. This, you can | town the stain of fading melodrama, | readily imagine, was a swell shocker— something the visitors could talk about at home for years afterward. The while, Conners reaped the re- box-office sense. What mattered that girl and the Oriental were mere “set ups” and that the “light” ‘as a mere oil lamp; that the pipe was a mere stage property.

It appears that in Portlanc and thereabouts, sincere doubt was ex- pressed concerning the tales that hardy woodsmen shaved themselves with a sharp axe. Several newspapers carried on de- bunking campaigns—when in from the woods strode Chriss, intent on keeping a legend alive and proving that strong men still rode the log jams. Swinging an axe that had felled a hardy spruce, he confounded Soft-flesh city folk by giving himself a quick and deft shave. The gaping onlookers demanded “how come?” “Oh,” said Chriss, casually, “it runs in the family!” roy Science is utterly incompetent to explain the existence of the world as we ,know it now.—Sir Oliver Lodge, British scientist. * * It is my duty and nigh honor to say that the government of the United States in the last two elec- tions has fulfilled its word in direct- President Moncada of Nicaragua, with help from the U.

MIHIEL DRIVE BEGINS On Sept. 12, 1918, the First Ameri- can Army, acting as a unit for the first time in the war, attacked the St. Mihiel salient and advanced more than five miles on a 35-mile front. St. Mihiel and several other towns were taken during the advance, which was preceded by one of the heaviest artillery bombardments of the war. More than 10,000 Germans and sev- eral hundred Austrians were taken prisoners. An entire train full of ammunition and machine guns was taken by the rapidly advancing Americans as it was getting ready to leave the salient. The Austrian prisoners captured were part of a division of Austrian troops sent to the sector early in the year to replace German veterans, who were sent to the zone of the spring offensives. British forces in Picardy resumed the offensive, making important gains and gaining another foothold in the vaunted Hindenburg line. ace scapameinnly Barbs A race horse trainer says that thor- oughbreds eat less than the average horse.

SS SYNOPSIS Under the leadership of “El Coy- ote,” the masked bandit, the Mexican ranchers plan to overthrow the wealthy Paco Morales, who has con- fiscated their property for years. All search for “El Coyote” has been in vain. Ted Radcliffe, a young Ameri- can whose father Morales ruined, loves the Spaniard’s beautiful niece, Adela, Jito, Morales’ ward, is jeal- ous. Bob Harkness, a friend of Ted’s late father, urges Ted not to quarrel with Morales, as he has other plans. Following a raid on the village by Jito’s vaqueros, one of his men is killed by Anton, an Indian. Morales, fearing the vengeance of the tribe, teleases Anton. Out riding, Adela tells Ted she disapproves of her un- cle’s treatment of the peons. Ted considers Adela’s wealth a barrier between them, but she tells him to let nothing interfere when he falls in love. Ted is forced to shoot his horse after a fall. He and Adela get lost and spend the night in the desert. CHAPTER XXVII Do boys ever have such foolish dreams?” “Sometimes. What was your dash- ing rescuer like?” “Oh, he was always changing. 1 was very fickle about my escorts. At times he was dark and spoke in Spanish and had a mandolin hung over his saddle, and sometimes he was slender and soft-voiced and had blue eyes. Yes, there were all kinds. After all, why limit yourself to one man in your dreams? But then, you i see, I've never known men except the gilded youths of Mexico City, where uncle sent me each year. Even when 1 was in school in the States, my uncle gave strict orders.” She looked up with those frank blue eyes. “You know, besides Don Bob, I've never really known any Ameri- canos.” “No gringoes?” He smiled. She shook her head, “Certainly no very nice ones—like you.” Ted threw mesquite on the fire until it leaped again and crackled like a thousand roasting chestnuts. On the farther side of the fire he spread out the girl’s poncho and placed the saddle at its head. The saddle- blanket was already dry and warm from the flames, and this he laid over the poncho. The result he con- templated dubiously. “I’ve seen softer-looking beds, but it will be warm enough unless the night turns cool. Try it.” Obediently she rolled up in the blanket and laid her head on the saddle. Looking up she made a face him. “This isn’t going to be either warm or soft, big man, but it’s life in the great Southwest.” She closed her eyes. “Dios, but I'm tired,* she murmured. For an hour Ted sat smoking and at last, replenishing the fire with wood, he lay down beside it. Already the girl’s eyes were closed, and her hands were clasped about the saddle- horn. He stooped and pulled the blanket higher about her throat, for a cool current of air was pouring down out of the mountains, For a brief second she opened her eyes. “You're a dear,” she told him, and went to sleep again. Dawn had already brightened into sunrise when Ted awoke. He arose, cold and stiff from hours on the hard sand, and looked about him. Mist was still rising from the desert, and as yet the sunlight held no warmth, Tethered in a clump of mesquite, the mare raised her head and whinnied impatiently, Ted looked up. “I know,” he said half aloud, “you're hungry and thirsty, and you've got nothing om me.” A rustling in the saddle blanket made him turn, Two sleepy eyes were being rubbed, and a mop of hair frantically smoothed into sub- mission, pk we f th linemegibencee co COPYRISHT 1931, BY INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE 00, INC. “~ DISTRIBUTED BY KING FEATURES ‘SYNDICATE, INC. by TOM GAY BANDIT, e BORDER. GILL “I couldn’t endure a quarrel between you two,” she said. “If you look at me now I'll take the veil,” a sleepy voice warned him, “These open-work dressing-rooms have their drawbacks.” So he set about arranging what little they had left of the food, and slowly saddled Adela’s mare. At last he came back to the gray embers of the fire, and at her low laugh looked up. She was pulling on her boots, “When uncle catches up with us, all that has ever happened is going to seem dull and tame,” she said, and for no reason at all she hummed a Spanish song. “When Jito catches up, I’ll have a first-class duel on my hands,” he prophesied, “and perhaps another with your uncle.” “Oh no. Uncle would never de- scend to anything so uncertain, He'll just order his vaqueros to tear you to pieces.” Then, suddenly serious, she added. “It is possible that Jito will be raving when he finds us to- gether. I'm depending on you to help me. Even if it's terribly hard for you.” “1 promise, But if he comes me with blood in his eyes, | ae have to do a little shadow boxing.” ‘He must not. 1 couldn't endure @ quarrel between you two.” Her hand touched his arm and she looked up at him. “Out here in this desert country one hasn’t too many friends. Our friendship, it has been a very beautiful beginning. 1 don't want anything to spoil it.” “Nothing could spoil it,” he an- swered. For a long moment tte Stood silent close to each other, scarcely breathing. Their lips made no sound, spoke no word, while a message, formless but infinitely pre- cious, passed between them as they stood there on the desert's edge. Then together they walked toward the horse, still waiting in silent dis- approval of delay. As he stooped to hold her sti Adela laid both hands on Teds shoulders, {n her own eyes he caught a shadow of foreboding. He felt her: fingers tighten for a moment, ‘It has been good, this bein together back in the hills, 1 ale 4 feel there is a bond between us two, whatever comes.” Her fingers, still telingi 1g, slipped down his arms, then wuddenly she released him and swung into the saddle, “I'm going to ride the first hour and you'll ride the second hour,” she told him, as they turned toward the dark outline of Eagle Rock. “Even in riding boots 1 can walk with a fine swinging stride that’s a joy to sec.” But walking was to Prove un- necessary. Far down among the mesquite they first saw a faint move. ment that neared and became a cav- alcade of people and horses slowly making its way out of the desert up toward the slopes these two were descending. For a time they watched the slow, trudging figures, then Adela clapped her hands in delight. “It's Anton, and his Yaquis, re- turning to their mountain home. He will let you have something with four legs.” Ted's thoughts flashed back to the encounter between the Yaqui and Morales two nights ago. For a mo- ment he hesitated. But already one of Anton’s men caught sight of them and called back to the others. Al- most at once three warriors detached themselves and pounded up the slope ata dead run. Anton himself greeted them, holding the hand of each a moment in his owfi whilé he listened silently to the girl’s tale. At times his black eyes turned to the man be- side her, but always they returned to Adela. At last he stepped forward’ and put the reins of his own horse in Ted's hand. “Yours to ride,” he announced in curt, unaccustomed English, and there was a great friendliness in his smile, “My young men follow to- morrow and bring horse back.” Then he turned to the girl, speaking in Spanish too rapid and low for Ted to understand, At the end he touched the girl's hand, nodded to Radcliffe, and before either of them could thank him had jumped up behind the horse of one of his braves, Ted mounted. “That's what I call Service. What did Anton say?” “He was telling me the way and offering to lend me one of his' men to go with us, But we don’t need them, According to Anton, two hours’ ride will put us in sight of the hacienda. And now let's see what that Indian pony’s good for.” (To Be Continued) _ ey 4 ( mn r
