We have most comfortable rooms, there's a glori- ous roof on the top of the hotel which will provide us with plenty of fresh air and room for exercise, and everything we need can be or- dered by telephone.” “You mean,” I stammered, “that we can't leave the hotel at all?” 8he laughed at my bewildered face and shot a quick glance toward the door of the room which Prin- cess Olina and Mary were to share and to which Lillian had ushered them before taking me to her own room. Dicky and Prince Georges were in our suite. “‘You can.” she said. “'with discre- tion, making sure that no one mis- takes you for Mary or Princess Olina. And of course the Dicky-bird and old Phil Veritzen will prowl in and out to their offices. There'll be no particular string upon Noel, either, although ine more everybody stays inside the hotel the better Harry will like it. But Georges, Mary and Olina must not stir from the hotel, until this mess is cleared up.” hivered at something in her tone which told me that she had good reasons for the scemingly fan- tastic precautions. You haven't any idea how long,” 1 said. The Kencllos “It all depends upon how readily those Kenellos chaps fall into the trap Harry is going to set for them,” she said. “If we can catch one of two of them so that we can get the proper line upon that kins- man of Prince Georges' the danger will be over. Georges has a pretty shrewd idea of the man who's en- gineering the thing. If we only can lure him into the trap and Georges can confront him, he will have the proof he wants against his cousin. The only trouble is that the old king of Trees and the other invalid chap, his brother, may exit this life any day. Then the publicity will start, and the hunt for Georges. He will have to announce his whereabouts, and he will be so guarded that the Kenellos fellows will have to lie A QUEER PLACE FOR A NEST # By Thoraton W.

Now Jenny had informed him that his work was all for nothing. 8he hau decided that they wouldn't use either of those houses. Do you won- der that Mr. Wren had lost patience?

When they came in to a belated luncheon served in the suite, they were quietly jubilant. “It's made to order,” Mr. Under- wood said, but made no other com- ment. When luncheon was over, he took Prince Georges and Noel down to the rooms which were to be the “tiger trap,” and Dicky relaxed into a big arm chair while Lillian told him of my dilemma, making it hers as well, and asked for—rather— demanded—his aid. “I've got a better scheme still” he said nonchalantly. “Old Ede's a wiz at that sort of thing.

The iron, as has been previously mentioned, is omong the least of ingredients. . A few years ago when the “eat- more raising” campaign spread across the country, the chief claim in the advertising was the argument fhat the raisins would provide iron. In the body the iron is an important ingredient of the red blood cells, asociated with the carrying of oxy- gen by the blood from the lungs throughout the body. If a person loses red blood cells he gets pale and anemic, There is, however, nothing to be gained in anemia by taking vast quantities of iron, since the body can accommodate only a certain small amount. The entire quantity of iron in the normal body of a full-grown persou is about one-tenth of an ounce which malkes one part to 25, 000 By weight. It the body is conducting its chemical affairs in orderly manner only a trace of the iren is lost daily luring the processes of digestion, ex- creise, breathing, and similar func- tons. It has been estimated that the total wastage and loss amounts to about one-fifth of a grain or about seventy-fifth of a zram, which is about the amount ot iron that could eagily be shaken off a rusty nail. Obviously there is ordinarily little reason to take extra quantities of iron into the body. The substance is found in considerahle amounts in lean meat, in the yolk of egg. in #pinach, in cabbage, in peas, beans, potatoes, milk and many fruits, For many years the average Am- erican diet was white bread made without milk, meat, potatoes and coffee into which someskimmed milk might be poured. Such a diet was quite likely to be deficient in many important ingredients. The scienti- fic students of nutrition have decid- «d that most American diets must Le watched as to their content of iron. However, one nced not necessar. ily eat raisins or excessive amounts of any other food. There are s0 many factors concerned in a diet that all of them must be watched equally. FFor =ome people raisins mean too much indigestible residue of rough- age. FLAPPER FANNY SAY.. Girls of today are brim full of beauty. |exhibition of bad taste is a phase |which will pass. Keep your sense NURSERY FABLES ENTHRALL NATIVES IN AFRICAN CONGO Denver, Col, June 12. — Peter Rabbit, ido! of American childhood. is becoming a great educator of the Congo natives. . Dr. Catherine L. Mabie, veteran medical missionary, now in Amer- ica to attend the Northern Baptist convention, hers from June 14 to 19, has translated Peter and other ficional nursery characters finto native lingo and the little book has stimulated such a desire for education that every black wants to learn to read his own copy. Peter Rabbit, along with the lit- tle red hen, the crooked little man who walked & crooked mile, the bear who blew and blew till he blew the house down and a whole host of Aesop's garrulous - tauna now form nightly entertainment in scores of villages far inland from where the mighty Congo with its white trading posts slips like a river of treacle through the tangled African forests. Magic of Printed Word “In fact, the literature of the white nursery has replaced the sinister voodoo dance,” says Mra. Mabie. ‘The brain-paralyzing throb | of the medicine man's tom-tom has been silenced so that natives, sitting grouped about . the bruwny black who has learned to read, will not miss a word of the magic of the printed word of this book.” Regularly now, when the Afri- can night has closed in with the suddenness of a door slammed upon a windowless room. the vil- lagers huddlc about the commun- ity fire; the aging chief and his string of wives; the rest of the adult male population, splendid. befeathered bucks with never a shirt between them, and.'their wo- men, copper-ringed and elaborate- ly tattooed; and punctuating this mass of grown-ups, like commas in a legal document, a myriad of fuzzy-haired brats. Interested Audience Eyes stare unblinkingly. heavy mauve ringed mouths hang agap~ and black bodies bend forward from the hips as the whole crowd hangs intent upun the sonorous words— “Mfumu Nempangu wkala gun- anga sabola muna king. Womano Petelo Nlumba s&osanga dimbuzu ve wanzoma. Wkoba: ‘E, mwivi: Mwivi! ka mwivi Petelo Nlumba wamona wonga “mgl ye walundumuka . There is a deep intake of breath and guttural exclamations ricochet from savage to savage. “Chlef Nembangu was planting onions in his garden. He saw Peter Rabbit running and gave chase. He shouted, ‘Thief! Thief! Stop Thief!" Peter Rabbit was very much afraid and ran away v It is a thrilling tale, a na(ural childish tale, and the natives, like children, never tire of it. Natives Nlustrate Book The book Dr. Mabie had print- ed is on tough paper, six by eight inches, and many natives who never dreamed of learning (o read now can spell out the stories in the copies that they treasure as their most precious possessions. The illustrations of the hook were done by two young blacks who uged their jungle knives to carve wood blocks. In the book are les- sons on sanitation and hygiene which are illustrated by similar nursery figures, “It didn’t seem quite fair,” Dr. Mable explained, “to teach the na- tives to read and then give them nothing but the Scriptures and a few Bible tales. All African na- tives are story lovers, and books such as this are a great stimulus to ‘book larnin'.’ ‘Almost no books in English are suitable for translation as a whole. One must choose material from many books, and draw lav- ishly upon the imagination. “I plan to make posters for use in the villages as.health propa- ganda. as. for imstance, a hen scratching in the mortar used by mother to pound the manioc into flower for the evening meal; flies on baby's banana; a cloud of mos- quitoes rising from larva in a broken gourd, and so on."” | TRASHY READI) By ALICE JUDSON PEALE “Joyce reads perfect tras! I nev- er have censored her reading be- cause I don’t believe in it.

I can’t understand why her tastes should turn that way. She never has seen anything but good literature at home.
