HOLMES its >AGE SIX SYNOPSIS . . .Silas Spelle, high handed, low-principled cattle baron, is out to smash the local bank and force foreclosure on the small ranch ers of the Kanab desert country so that he can seize their range lands. He is opposed by Ed'. Starbuck, pres ident of the Cattleman's Bank, and by San Juan Delevan, prominent ranch er who has been crippled by a fall from his horse. Johnny Clehoe and his partner, Tex Whipple, are cow punchers employed b ySan Juan Del evan to fight the rustlers and protect his interests. “Mania,” chirruped Johnny, blowing- on his knuckles. “That was shore a satisfaction, I been itchin’ to do that all mornin’.” “Heli-heli!” chuckled Tex coldly. "Yuh shore rung up a bulls-eye that time, kid. Go on, Pink, yuh stick to Miss Ronny.” Spelle was gulping with fury and dismay. While Lange had been un able to finish his statement he had Tet out enough, to advise Spelle that something was radically wrong con cerning the Delevan mortgage. In his thwarted greed a modicum of cour- ' age returned to him and he advanc ed threateningly into the room. “What’s this?” he rasped.. “What's this about the Delevan mortgage?” “Nothin’ much,” drawled Tex. "’Ceptin’ its’ paid in full.” “What?” roared Spelle, his gaze working evily. “I don’t want it paid. I refuse to accept payment for it.” “Yuh’re plumb out o’ luck, hom bre,” said Tex imperturbably. “There is the money on the table—an’ we got the mortgage. Jest let the fact sink in. We’re gonna keep it. C’mon Johnny, the story’s told. Let’s rattle our hock^.” The two partners made their way to the street, Tex watching Spelle warily over his shoulder. Down the street Ronny and Pink Crosby were waiting at the buckboard. Further on, tied in a line at the hitching rail be fore the Starlight Saloon, was a group bi horses, all wearing the Double S troti. Tex’s face was furrowed and serious as he reached the buckboard. “Pink, you an’ Miss Ronny hop in that rig an’ light out for home, Them ’broncos have been wantin’ to ramble all morning. Let ’em out. Pour the whip into ’em.' Burn the hubs off’n them wheels gettin’ there. That mort gage won't be safe until Jim Delevan gets his hands on it.” “Tex,” said Ronny fearfully. “You don’t think there will be trouble, do you?” "Don’t think a thing, Miss Ron- -ny,” answered Tex. “I know there will. Soon as Spelle gets through snappin at himself he's gonna turn that gang of his loose on yore trail to try an’ Iraid yuh off ’fore yuli get home,” "B—But, you and Johnny," object ed the girl, her eyes on Johnny’s grim young face. “Yo-u can’t fight them all off. You’ll get hurt.” Johnny’s face broke into a wide, beautific grin. “Nemmine us, Miss Ronny. Me an’ this ole sand rat been shot at before, We’re jest too cussed ornery to stop lead. Pink, shake them reins. See yuh while ago,” Pink spun the buckboard around on one wheel and turned the broncos loose in a wild run up the street. As the buckboard passed the bank Spelle leaped out into the street with a bawl of anger, shaking his fists above his head, Then he headed down towards the saloon at a clumsy run. “Fork yore hull, kid,” snapped Tex crisply. “Lead’s due to fly in a min ute.” In a moment Tex and Johnny were spurring after the rapidly disappear ing buckboard. As they cleared the edge of the town the dim roar of voices reached hteir ears. “The show’s on,” yelled Johnny. “Whoopee. Look at that boy Pink drive' will yuh. If that buckboard had wings it’d fly.” A half mile from town Tex looked back. He could easily see the black blot of hard riding horsemen. 1 “Slow up,” he snapped. “We’re a horse went headlong, throwing rider spread eagling into the dust. "Bueno,’’cried Tex, "That slowed ’em up.” “Yeah, fer a minute,” answered Johnny, feverishly plugging more shells through the loading" gate. “But they’re gonna spread out. Somebody’s usin’ his haid back there.” “Nemmine. Pink’s almost out o’ sight—an’ that’s the main thing.” As Johnny had said to the pursuers had spread out and no longer pre sented a solid mass to shoot at. From now 6n any fire Johnny might give through his rifle would perforce be merely haphazard with chances for a hit very small, at least while his own horse was in motion. The dull thudding of gun-shots sounded in the rear but only one lone bullet sang past Tex, quick to read this sign smiled, grimly. “Lucky fer -us they ain’t any o’ them got Winchesters. They can plug away all day at this distance with their six-guns without doin’ any harm. Kin yuh 'see Pink?” “Nope, Plumb outa sight. Reckon we done put a crimp in Mister Spelle today, Tex. Tex and Johnny spurred after the bu ckboard1. pullin’ up on Pink. We’re out here to hold this gang back instead of haul ’em up. Git yore Winchester loose, kid.” Johnny pulled the rifle from the boot beneath his left thigh and lev ered in a cartridge. Then he and Tex hauled their nervous mounts down to a leisurely lope. The horsemen in the rear came up fast and Tex watching them closely, measuring the distance. “Four hundred yards,” he announc ed finally. “Fan ’em a couple, John ny.” Obediently Johnny turned and slammed five shots to the rear. It was hard shooting, twisted thus on a running horse, but the following band made a big mark and at the fifth shot BIRDS TAG ALONG WHEREVER SHE GOES wll BooIIFi <0 Thursday, July 16th, 1936 Rosita Royce, dancer, is a modern development of the old nursery rhyme oU Mary and her lambs-«-except that the cofnely dancer prefers het trained doves, who appear with pdt ison the stage, to a lamb.

Two riders cornin’ in to haid us off. Now how’n hell did they git up there?” Tex turned and followed Johnny’s pointing arm. Sure enough two rid ers were spurring in at an angle to. the southwest, from the rim of the desert. They were coming fast on big, gaunt horses, and each of the rid ers carried a rifle loose in their right hands. . "Hell,” snapped Tex. "We’re in fer it, kid. You go after those two hom bres with the rifles. I’ll keep this oth er gang back. My ole hawk-laig will throw lead just as far as theirs. Now le’s see yuh do Some o’ that high- toned shootin’ yuhve been bragging about.” “If yuh’d only pack a Winchester,” wailed Johnny as they drew their plunging broncos to a halt. "But yuh’re so danged bull-haided yuh nev er will. Jest think what yuh could do with a ,30-30 now.” “Nemmine me,” snapped Tex. “Get busy—those two jaspers are within range.” Johnny slipped from his horse and threw up his rifle. It wavered, stead ied, but when it crashed flatly the bullet went far and wide. Just as Johnny pulled the trigger Tex had leaned over and swept the barrel up. "Fer gosh sakes,” blazed Johnny. "What in hell did yuh do that fer. I was holdin' (laid center.” Tex paid no attention. His keen old eyes were fixed on the two new comers with a mingled expression of doubt and joy, “Kid, yore eyes are better’ll mine. Look close. 'Ain’t that leadin’ hoss a star faced black?” “Yeah it is,” snapped Johnny, rais ing his rifle again. "Ail’ I’m gonna put me a slug right in the star.” But Tex shoved his rifle aside again. "Kid,” he burst out delighted ly. "That’s ole Utah Lynch an’ Al Burrows from the Bar B outfit, I telegraphed ’em to come atunnin’ an’ shore they’re doin’ it; You fan hell otita Spdle’s crowd. I’m goin out to meet Utah an’ AL” The somewhat bewildered Johnny whirled on the rapidly hearing Doa ble S crowd and with his first shot downed one of the leading riders, His second shot brought a horse scream* frig to earth and the rest broke and rode back out of range, where .they grinned Utah. "Thcy’s a new boss at the ole spread now. But, the second.” "Naw?”’exclaimed Johnny delight edly. “I’m tellin’ yuh.” Utah nodded. “Fattest, happiest hT geezer yuh bver saw.” “That’s shore fine. Tex, me’b you gotta take a trip someday an’ look in on that young gent.” “Mebbe so, someday,” drawled Tex. “But right now we got our own dish o’ hash to cook. Boys, yuh shore dropped in at the right time.” Utah What’s an’ me ’em to driftin’ shooed to let him know if you needed any more help. If yuh do, jest wire him an’ he’ll come afoggin it with the whole outfit.” "Reckon that won’t be necessary.” said Tex. “But shore I’m thankin' Bud for feelin’ so.' Now let’s amble along. I’ll tell you fellers the story while we ride.” By the time they rode up to the corrals of the Box D ranch Utah and Al had the whole story and had ex pressed their satisfaction at the op portunity of sitting in on things. When Tek attempted to thank them for their prompt response to his messages they waved him off. “Why thank us? scoffed Al Bur rows. “Shucks, Tex, we’re the ones to render thanks.

The vitamins are particularly essen tial in pregnancy,' particularly vita min D, which helps the body utilize the calcium and phosphorus taken. This is high in cod liver oil and un cooked wheat germ, fair in eggs and obtainable in certain authentic bread and allied preparations. , Vitamin .A increases resistance to infection and is said to .make the child more viable. It is found in raw carrots, cooked spinach and turnip greens, dried prunes, butter, eggs, milk and cod liver oil. Vitamin B which' improves the tone of the digestive system and would seem to reduce vomiting of pregnancy is found in most foods but particular ly in raw cabbage, lettuce, grapefruit, ‘ orange juice and tomatoes.

These other foods supply the other wise deficient vitamins C and D. “It has been said,” Dr. Bates con tinues, “that the calcium content of milk is reduced by pasteurization. Ac tually pasteurization, itself, cannot damage the mineral composition of milk1,' although, under some circum stances, there may be a slight pre cipitation. In any case, there is three times the amount of calcium in cow’s milk that there is in mother’s milk because nature primarily intends cow’s milk for calves and calves need more calcium than children. “It has been suggested -that pas teurized milk is not as digestible as raw milk. The experience in the Hos pital for Sick Children in Toronto is exactly the reverse,” say Dr. Bates. “Dr. Alan Brown, physician-in-chief at the Hospital for Sick Children, said in a recent statement prepared for the Ontario Government that, during the past twenty years, every drop of milk given in-patients and out-patients, in that hospital had been, not only pas teurized, but, in addition, boiled to improve its digestibility still further.
