Und.erweight can, be directly traced a. disturbance of the digestion or assimilation, By a careard, resgulated diet, it has been possible in many eases to bring the weight up to or mal and, without a doubt, a change o diet is the most important far i inereasing the weight. Next to diet comes the ruental atti- tude which, in many easee, is the di- rect cause of impaired digestion and poor assimilation. Worry, anxiety, fear and lack of self-confidence are enemies of good digestion. These nega- tive traits should be eeplaced by cheer- fulness, faith and confidence. Regular exercise, daily recreation, relaxation aad plenty of fresh air in the sleeping -room are of impeatance- in building tissue.

Ever •since I've been on the farm I've had such a dreadful time trying to keep the oil cloth On my kitchen table presentable. .This summer I hit upon a "brand new" idea which saves ejlergy as well as, money', It costs sixty-five cents for oilcloth enough to cover my table, and it is necessary to recover at least three times each year. This summer I ena- meled the woodwork grey and had enough enamel left to cover three kitchen chairs and table. I gave the top of the table three eoats. I find that doesn't ehow wear like the oil- cloth did, and will not need to be painted more taan once a year in order to keep it looking fine. My kitchen is about fourteen feet square. f have painted the wallsa light buff color, and made curtains of unbleached =still trimmed with blue checked gingham. It looks so cozy we decided we would enjoy eating all our meals in it, except when there are guests. I made lunch cloths for the 'table of unbleached muslin, which will wear longer and are easier to launder than those I felt as though we had to use in the dining -room. Even when I have several hired men to cook for I set the table ill the kitchen. It is much warmer than the dining -room in winter. I use a small -oil stove for cooking in summer. It is pleaant in here at that season, and it saves many steps.—Mrs. W. G. R. PRESERVING EGGS. To preserve eggs in -salt, they should be packed in a largebox filled with salt.

As they swerved into the street whete Tu Hee's house atoocl they eaar another car approaching fawn the op- Pesite direction. The hua'a gates swung open and1t turned in ahead of them. "What can it be all abeut? 0 David, I feel we're on the brink of something tremendoas!" "Pray God she's saae," came the stifled response, • "Safe. Of course she's sate, and I think 'somehow this means she is to be safer," Not waiting for the assistence of David or the driver Grace flung open the door nearest to her and sprang to the pavemeat. •On the steps of the great house they mialgled with Neil and Irma Culver, Clesterton Reynolds, and Helm Clay- amsekraen.ce.Bach group ey ed the ether Chesterton Reynolds was the most compoeed. "Well, hare we all are but if you don't know any nore than we do the reason, why, year minds are a blank." Before aeother remark could be passed a servant opened the door and ushered them through -the big hall into the French sitting -room, -where he left then/. • The minutes passed, only five, but to the waiting group they seemed that many hours—days to one of them. At the end of the fifth minute David had made up his mind that suspense was a foblish, unnecessary harden, in other words that he would set forth and find out why he wee there. In his impatient pacing he had reached the door, which he • was about to open. when someone else anticipated him. The seavaat re-enteaed, bowed, and! r „ I did it :for my Paul's sake—my lilt e Paul—into my arms his own mother gave him—Master Ohri Sing he prom- ise me Paul—that why I leave you." Hete the woman's voice. faltered; she struggled for breath and a bleish tint erept over her face. • Quickly Tu Hee lifted a glass of „liquid from a small table beside the bed •and moistened the wernan's lips. Slightly revived, her eyes sought Tu Hee's face. 'S'he not kill Master Chu Sig—a—killee—him. He rob Paul's spirit of sacred ruby—I see all --Paul my child—I nurse him little baby— he proinise—yes"--her voice became a wild protest, ---"she good—she no go to paison—I tell you all—) lcillee Master Then the bluish tint ,became deepea. A dull glaze crept over and dulledthe black eyes. In her effort to say more the woman hall' raised heaself from the •pillow, but .the great reaper, Death, was too nearin a moment Tu Hee had her arms around. her. Ten- derly she laid her back on the pillow, but the spirit hadYfied. Gently Tu Hee stroked the still halide, while tears ran down her cheeks. "You were very good to me, dear Su. I owe you much." It -was with, mingled feelings Ned and Irma Culver had listened to the woman's • labored confession. Her words and name of course had enabled them to readily recognize her as the nurse /elm had accompanied Paul from his parental home, and who had de- serted him and them with the rest of their servants shortly after they had Ilost their own child. Her remarks, however, and her evident repentance over some fancied wrong puzzled them. The only conclusion they could arrive at was her late regret at leav- ing her charge in the way she had, !desertion being an almost unheard of thing in China where •a nurse was concerned. Evidently the poor , wa- • man wished to rid herself of this long - remembered act of faithlessness 'be- fore facing .her Maker. Of course that was the import of ter—strange Words; there could be no other. The whole scene, however, stirred old memories and recalled happy by- gone days, and altogether so agitated and pained Irma that her husband watched hea ananously. But Irma Culver had been a pupil in the school of discipline too long not to quickly regain her self-control. - It required just ;another effoit of the will, and self was again relegated to the back- ground. Ever ready to rejoice at another's happiness, Irma's attention turned to Tu Hee. She was shocked and resent- ful that through the narrownese and bigotry of the Chinese; law this lovely child should have been made to suffer motioned for the visitors to folloa aina. Out into the night again the pro- cession passed, through the heavily - scented Oriental courtyard to another building: of the compound. Here they were Joined by another servaat, whose Eastern calm was sadly de- moralized. In quick, excited Chinese, he addressed the boy who had ushered the strangers in. Then turning to the bewildered group he said in hur- ried, broken English: "She going fast, not much time— hurry, thanks!" • The mystery, the whole queer affair, was too much for David's overwrought nerves. Flinging lahneelf in front of the others he grasped the Chinese servant by the arra and shouted at him in a choking, rasping voice: "Who? For God's sake, laoy, speak The -boy, startled at this rough hendling, shrank back, but instinc- tively, obeying the command in the voice of the excited foreigner, replied: "She, Su, she dying." • David's head spun with the shock of relief. He let go the boy's arm. Tu Hee was safe then. So great was the reaction that he wanted to laugh. Instead, however, silently, with the others, he entered a small apartment at the end of the corridor. It was simply but comfortably fur- nished, but no one paid any attention to that fact. All eyes were centred on a bed on the far side of the room, where a Chinese woman was lying, whose short, hard breathingpunctu- ated with low moans, proclaimed she was very ill. David's eyes were not on the sick woman more than a fleeting second, however. His heart gave a great leap , as a slight, white -clad form rose from; beside the bed and approached the visitors. It was Tu Hee. Her grave bow included them all, and then quiet- ly she withdrew to her place beside the sick woman. But Tu Hee was not the only watcher. Three Chinese officials aow came forward. One of them, evidently the captain of the trio, approached. His English was very fair, and he spoke quickly and purposefully. "This -woman is ill unto death. In order • to reach her ancestors and escape further suffeaing in the world, she one hour ago took a deadly poison. Her spirit will pass in half an hour. She has called for you all to hear her last words. Which are Dr. Calver and his madam?" Neil indicated his and Irma's identity. "Ah!" The official eyed them inter- estedly. "It is you especially and her young mistreas, Miss Wang TOy, she has asked for. The others are merely witnesses, as are we. Please step forward, close to the bed Dr. Culver and your madam, please. It is most important that you miss not a word of what this woman has to say." Surpaised at thie strange requeat, Neil and Irma stepped quietly to the bedside. The k'ang or bed was not of the modern, Western kind. It was a typically Chinese affair, built of brick, under which a stove was constructed. The only noticeable difference between this piece of furniture and the ordi- nary bed of China, was its conspicuous cleanliness. As she looked hit° the faces of the foreigners, Sus dark eyes lit up with satisfattion. Reaching her hand to- wards Irina, she said 'haltingly: "I meant not that I harm you, madam. lateheat Prices Paid ftit CooRw, Mink, Fox, Deer- Skhts, CalfOkiras;: Oke,, enxh.ndin iiilde':&.teittlier Co., toroato, —sees—a-ea; la a, a No: so long aral so eraelly.

'DJ Hee rose to her feat. Her be- wildered gage swept the room until it rested on David. He was at her side in an instant. Words failed hirn, however; all he could do was to hold her hands in a tight, reaseuring clasp and look his great love into hea- soul. • It appeared, however, that the un- expectecl was not yet over. Frani •a dim recess of the room appeared Lure wiping her eyes alai sobbing audibly. Wallcieg through the groep she ap- proached her mistress. '14 now begins last • day of two moon. I bearer of sad and great news for you, Missee Tu Hee.' "Surely, Lun dear, it can wait," chided Tu Hee gently, "No, not wait, or Lun will die, too —wait not another hour—minute second." • Ihe officials, impatient at a ser- vant's interruption, now stepped for- ward. Bowing low to Tu Hee and apologizing profusely for an error of the law, they begged to be exeused. Tr! Hee gravely acknowledged their sweeping couttesies and a servant, held open the door for them to pass out. - • Apparently forgetting Lun's re- quest, Tu I -Tee turned to her guests. "If you will honor me by partaking of my hospitality before you depart, we will return to my apartments." A few minutes later as they sat over their tea cups in the sittieg-roem the etrained atmosphere relaxed some- what and, sincere congratulations were poured out on Tu Hee. Irma Culver vied with David in -the attentions she ehowered on the Chi- ne's'eShgeirils. so wonderfully' sweet, aTeil," she whispered to her husband, "-and .such a child to have suffered thc way she has." David, however, was too supremely contentto harbor any irritation over las inability to speak any of his great happiness into two dainty ears.
