Scientists told us that if we ate daily certain definite proportions of what they termed, in a knowing way, pro- teids, carbohydrates, fate, and salts, we should live well aid happily ever afterwards. . The first of these imposing looking and sounding words simply means foods containing nitrogen, such as meat, fish, eggs, peas, beans, etc.; the second includes edibles composed of starch, or sugar. Fats and salts speak for themselves. But It has recently been discovered' that there is a great deal more in the constituents of tb.ese various classes of food than 'meets the eye or tiokles the palate. It is now quite obvious that complete nutrition does not de- pend only on such food elements as I have just mentioned. A diet contain- ing sufficient quantities of all the above-mentioned nutritive substances is now found to be deficient if it is lacking in certain hitherto unknown and rather mysterious compounds, one kind of .which we can vitamines. It is only recently thin these vita: Trines have been- isolated in a crystal- line form from certain constituents of familiar foods, in which they are pre- sent in very small amounts. It is he- - lievecl now that this so-called vitamine is only one of several as yet undis- covered' compounds neces'.ary for com- plete nutrition. Everybody is, of course, aware that all animals, vegetables, fruits, or other living organisms, eatable and uneat- able, contain either life-giving or death -dealing elements. Take, for in- stance, the common or garden bean; that supplies us with a vitamine or life-giving compound. On the other hand, there is the East Indian bean, which yields us the deadly poison strychnine. • As far removed from each other as the Poles are the vivifying pineapple and the poisonous poppy. And so on throughout the entire range of the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Fresh meat contains 'vitamines: animal food en theturn, ptomaines. What is not .fur us is against us. V it nines, then, 'etre as brilliantly vital as, the active principles of such 'vegetable matter as strychnine are 'deadly. They are accumulated in a relatively greater,- amount in some 1 stuffs, and vegetable a stn s, sach asyeasts,. the outer covering of rice, bar- ley, wheat, etc., the brain, the heart, and the eggs of mammals and birds. The striking curative and disease -pre- venting dualities of these foodstnfs are due to this circumstance. The richness of the raw egg in vita - mines explains its place as the great "stand-by" in the sick -room, in cases where human vitality has sunk to a low ebb: and in this category may be placed also fresh milk and live oys- ters. These, not suite fully understood, fife -giving compounds are believed to act upon the processes of nutrition. Their absence, or 'scarcity seems to interfere with the' complicated pro- cesses of tissue -change, with the wear - and -tear and upkeep of the bodily structure. It used to be believed that scurvy, at one time the curse of the Navy, was snply due to the eating of consider- able quantities of "salt junk." But it e -as not so much the presence of so much salt in the dietary as the total ebectics of fresh vegetables that was the essential. cause of the disease. Tho introduction of lime -juice put an end to these outbreaks of scurvy. It Is only to -day that we know that the nurative value of fresh vegetables and fruit juice is chin to the vitamines they contain. Again, beri-beri is a alisease attend- ed by great wasting of the body, con- tracted by those who live largely on rice which has been deprived of its outer coating, i.e., polished rice. This polished rice has been deprived of its vitamine coat, and thus becomes a tleath-d'ealing food. It is important to note that vita - mince are easily destroyed by long storage, long heating and cooking.' Hence the importance, in any dietary, of fresh, uncooked vegetables, fruits, 'etc. Decent experiments tend to de- monstrate that animal fats are much richer in vitamines than vegetable Pais. —.. -....la• — Life on the Earth.

He says that a few drop of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, •aching cord, instantly re- lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out. This drug is a sticky ether coin - pound,' but dries at once and .simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freezone obtained sit any drug store will cost very little but is sufda tient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet.

The Singing Fire,, The Fire's singing the song you knew In the night's when the Mother was singing too • — Singing the child in her arms to sleep, Who trembled to hear the witch wind creep, Or over the housetops, storming, cry To the ghostly • dark and the starless sky. "Life is' sweet as life is long; With never a sigh or a farewell song: Life is laughter, and life is play, And the Dark will dream itself away!`" That's the song the Fire sang to you, There—where the Mother was singing too. It is singing the same old song to -night To the wintry dreamer, with temples white, After the years, rain dark with tears— After lost dreams of the beautiful years! For the singing Fire has never known That the listening dreamer dreams alone!

If you go. through life trying to ape somebody else you never will be what God in- tended you to be. Be thyself and observe how you will grow and be content. Be thyself and make the most of what God has given you. It is more valuable than the counterfeit of imitation. An ounce of originality is worth more than tons of imitation. A mental crutch is worse than a physeal crutch. Parents make a fatal mistake in not permitting their children to be them- selves—children. A child knows noth- ing of deceit or delusion until its in divduality is- dwarfed by repression and an over -supply of "don'ts." Child- ren who are permitted to be just child- ren—to be themselves—make the best and purest men and women. Amid the trials and sorrows of later life they remain little children in their hearts and thus are nearer the throne. In illustrating her method a kindergar- ten teacher once gave a class of learned and scholarly mien the most profound lesson of their lives by tell- ing them they must be themselves— like little children. Those who are forev t imitating others and never are themselves are losing their own souls—not allowing a genuine, true expression of their own spirit.

One flower does not deceive itself that --it is any other kind of a flower. One animal does not deceive itself that it can imi- tate any other animal. Nothing disintegrates personality so rapidly as this effort to be a co tnter- felt. It creates a false nervous energy, a constant fear of discovery and a final revelation that is deadly. "Thou shalt not be found out" is the commandment upon which the fool builds his earthly structure. Be thyself. It means. contentment. It assures self-respect—the-only road to the respect of others. It leads to confidence and power. Be thyself. rh those two words dwell the philoso- phy that spells happiness and peace: • Why They Are Coupled. Locomotives would not be able to pull their "loads, especially on wet or slippery rails, unless the large wheels were "coupled" by side -rods. The pulling power of a locomotive depends on its "adhesion"—that is, the weight that comes on the driving - wheels, and makes them grip the rails. By coupling two or more pairs of wheels together, the force of the cylinders is caused to revolve them all in -unison, and much more of the weight of the_locomotive is utilized for adb.esion. That is why engines for heavy goods have often eight coupled wheels, and sometimes twelve. Do thoroughly whatever work God may give you tb do, and cultivate all your talents besides.
