Never- theless, he did not want to go' through California without paying his aged and infirm father a visit, So he chart- ered an airplane and flew to the Santa Inez Rancho at Tres Pines :in two hours. His father still occupied the family hacienda, having excluded that and a few acres of land from the ranch lease. The plane depositedBurney in a pasture half a .rile from the hacienda and he walked up. ' To' his surprise he found a large' moving van in the front yard and strange men carrying out the furniture. On the 'veranda he found his father, looking and feeling depressed. Again the Latin streak came to the front. 'Fattier and son embraced each other and Ken Burney kissed his father, first on one cheek and then on the other. "Bank close in on you, padre oniaf" ' "No, Kenneth. I've soldthe ranch to a man named George L. Borthwick, in San Francisco. • He offered me a price I couldn't resist. After al, Kenneth, unless you could arrange capital to stock the ranch and operate it, the bank night take a notion to foreclose before' we could sell it else- where, so I decided to play safe." • Ken Burney patted the old man's back. "You did perfectly right,' he assured him. "Of course it's a blow to have to leave the old place—but beggars can't'be choosers. Did Borth- wick pay cash?" "Yes. Son, I have two hundred and sixty-eight thousand dollars in the bank, I ant moving to a small rented house in Tres Pines."" His trembling old hand closed over his son's. "The money will earn five per cent, net and I can live well on a quarter of the income. The remainder 1 will save for you, my son?" "Good old Felix," his son murmured, "See that airplane down in the -horse pasture, Father? Well, it's going to carry me on to Oregon, where I'm going to try to purchase fifteen thou- sand head of cattle, all ages and sexes," and he told his father of his impending deal with Dan Wilkins. "If I can tie those cattle up by making a nominal down payment, I can grow them out on the Wilkins range, with- out cost, for one year, and unload at a fine profit. "Father, the cattle business has ' reached its farthest south and is re t vet -ng.

Would you consider represent- ing ne in a suit against the Bardin Land and Cattle Company?" "I will not," came the crisp reply, "for the reason that the Bardin Land and Cattle Company is a client of this firm," "Ali, I understand. It would. be unethical for you, then, to accept a ease against that company?" "Quite so, Who are you, and what is your quarrel with my client? Be- fore resorting to suit would it not be worth v-hile to diseass the matte: with me?" "It might, I'll skink it over. Good - by," and Ken Burney hung up. Then he squandered another= nickel to tele - hone the office ee of the Bardin. Land and Cattle Company and requested speech with Mr. Bradley Bardin.

But don't suffer for your indiscretions. It's folly to do so when you can so easily sweeten and settle a sour, upset stomach with a little Philips' Milk of Magnesia. Hearty eaters have long since learned the quick comfort this per- fect anti -acid brings. Smokers know how it neutralizes nicotine; brings back a sweet taste; gnerds the breath. Women know what it does for nausea—or sick headache. And when children have over-eaten— are bilious, constipated or otherwise upset—give them a little of the Made in same, pleasant -tasting and milky - white Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. You'll be through with crude methods once you learn the perfect way. Nothing else has the same quick, gentle effect. Doctors pre- scribe it for indigestion, nausea, heartburn, gas, sour stomach and headache. It has been standard with them for over 50 years Insist on genuine Phillips' Milk of Magnesia; a'Iess perfect product may not act the same. The genuine is always a liquid -never in tablet form—and the name Phillips' is aiways on bottle and wrapper. Canada Burmese Consider Animals As Children A very charming book about "Bur- mah and the Burmese," has been writ- ten by G. H. Fielding, and is publish- ed " by Bentley and Son (England), which shows the habits of the Bios mese in a very attractive light. The author says: "There are no dark places in the lives of the Burmese, as there are in the lives of other Orient- als. All is open as the light of day in their lives, and their religion and ` thein' women are the freest in the world." He also states that the BUT - mese treat 'animals as a father would little children who are very stupid' or troublesome, but 'who are lovable.. The Burmese look npon humanity as,( the highest virtue. The author asks:' "Do you think that a Burmese boyII' would be allowed to •rob birds' nests, or to worry rats, or to go ferreting?'r Not so; they Would be crimes." in many jungle -villages there are I deer -hunters, but they are disgraced men, and '(according to the Burmese belief) will have a terrible penalty to pay for it all, and it will take much suffering to wash from their souls the cruelty, the bleed -thirst, the careless- ness to suffering, and the absence of compassion regarding the painthey in- flict by their hunting. They ask: "Is there no food in the bazaar (their market) that you must take life?" Mr. Fielding states that these merci- ful people build sparrow cotes in the villages, and' when he shot some spar- rows that built about his rooms and made an unpleasant litter, the Bur- mese reproved him, telling him that if he had built a sparrow cote the birds would have used it and not have troubled him. Mr. Fielding justly says: "It you art kind to animals you will be kind to your fellowmen,"—our Dumb Animals.

Modern o®k `1s More Scientific Cookof Yesterday May Have Been Tastier But Shorteneingd Life Span, Instructor Claims Altltnugh the young woman who now occupies the kitchenette may not be as .good :a cook as was her grand- mother,: her knowledge of nutrition and dietetics is lengthening the span of human life,°according to Mrs. Freda J. Winning, instructor or home econo- mics at New York. University. • Mrs. Winning's observations on past and present day cooks were given co incide'tjt with an annohncement that during the second semester's courses in home economics at the New York Uni- versity School of Educeion,,stress will be placed on the study of the nutritive requirements of the individual. "A generation or two ago little thought was given to the nutritive needs of the various members of the m' firs. VViunh g.

"During the past twenty or twenty- five wentyfive years we have learned touch of nutrition and diet.

"Earthquake waves yielded the im- portant key to the secret of the earth's composition;" Why Sea Water is Blue The color is due to copper, thinks a German chemist. The azure hire, be believes, is caused by the presence of dissolved copper• compounds, which have this color, as in the wellknown blue vittiU1 or cop- per sulfate. The chemist's name is Richard Will- statter, and his findings are announced by a correspondent of. the American Chemical Society in a press bulletin issued by that body (New York). We read; 'The color of sea water was dis- cussed by Willstatter and Fritz Haber on a trip to the Canary Islands. Haber, who developed synthetic ammonia, up- on which Germany based its war pleats, and who is not infrequently described as the greatest of living Germans, pre- ferred the physical explanation that the color is evident because of the . great depth of the water. "Willstatter contended that tine blue, which is visible even in such a thin layer as in a bathtub, Is due to coo- plex copper compounds of the nature of Capri -amino salts.
