A lt'esterit housewife claims that -�

have plenty of crealti at their dis-
posal ---should 1101 waste precious
time creaming together shortening
and sugar for cookies and calces.
She claims that crearl, and especi-
ally sour creatn, used in place of
shortening, not only cols clown

in products that have a delicious
taste and texture all their own.

She searched for recipes that

and especially tempting to those

The Mys'tery of The
Missing Continent
Anincreasing number of scion.
lists believe that the origin of civil-
ization was not in the Jewish Gar-
den of Eden, but in Atlantis, the
continent which, according to the
Greek philosopher Mato, stretched
from tate•• coast of Europe to the
coast .of America, and which was
totally destroyed by earthquake and
flood eleven thousand years ago.
Plato lived sol -no centuries before
Christ when the continent of
America was undiscovered, and his
story that beyond the Pillars of
Hercules — Gibraltar — there had
once existed a mighty land and
nation, was discounted by the wise
men of the clay as nonsense because
everyone knew that the Pillars of
Hercules marked the farthest end
of the earth.
Finding Proof
Plato journeyed to Egypt to find �
proof. He found that not only did
the Egyptians believe they had
sprung from a race of white people
who lived in a land of golden tem-
ples far away in the West, but be
was shown solid gold statuettes of
great antiquity which, said the
Egyptian priests, had been washed
up by the sea after a great flood
had destroyed the entire country
Plato was convinced, but every-
one else laughed at him, and after
he died the whole stow was put
down to iniagiiration, and for almost
two thousand years the story was
forgotten, until America was dis-
covered and the Spaniards tried to
bring Eastern civilisation to the
natives
Among the missionaries who
penetrated deep into the interior
and befriended the Incas, Aztecs
and other Indian peoples was Diego
da Landa, who was later created
the first Bishop of Yucatan.
He was a learned man who had
studied the ancient languages of the
Old World and the history bf the
Phoenicians. He knew, for instance,
that all the languages of the Old
World had originally sprung from
the Phoenician alphabet, in which
letters were represented by pictures.
He was the most amazed man in
the world when he found ancient
monuments in the heart of America
on which were tablets inscribed in
the Phoenician picture language
There could be no shadow .of
doubt about it, for many of the let-
ters were identical while others had
obviously had the same root source
and had altered slightly during the
Passing of time.
As one instance of this, Da Landa
names of them were Colima, Coiva
and Zuivan, and this was the final
fact which convinced hint. For in
ancient Armenia, across five thou-
sand miles of octan, there had been
towns called Choliina, (:ohua and
Guivana
• Da Landa was publicly ridiculed
and Rome warned flim of the
heresy of discounting the story of
the Garden of Eden and replacing
it with the Plato theory of Atlantis.
But after his death, one or two
scientists continued his work and
ever since them more and more
evidence has been brought to light.
The ancient belief of the Egypt-
ians that their nation was founded
by a fair-haired, blue-eyed god who
carne up out of the sea and, when
he had done his work, returned to
his onvli country in the «'cst, is
balanced by the ancient belief of
the Incas and Aztecs of a fair-hair-
ed; blue-eyed god who came up out
of the sea and founded their nation
and then went back to his home—in
the East
Unfortunately all this is circum-
stantial evidence. There isnot a
single jot of concrete proof that
Atlantis did exist Future archaeo-
logical excavations in Central Anter
ica may one day bring that concrete
proof to light, and when that hap-
pens our history books will have
to be rewritten.
Your Heart's Been
Stopped for Fears
If you live until you are severity
your heart will have stopped beat-
ing for 21 years!
This is no fairy tale, but a fact
that has - been known to doctors
ever since Harvey first propounded
his theory of the circulation of the
blood.
In a normal adult person the heart
beats at the rate of 70-72 times a
minute, or once in each 0.8
seconds. This means that. it beats
104,000 times a day.
Between beats it rests for about
0.2 of a second which, if worked
out, comes to roughly 21 years of
inactivity.
A rest of 21 years in seventy
would indicate that it is the laziest
organ in the hiiman body, This is
not the case. Your heart does any-
thing -but idle.
Every minute it beats it pumps
five ,to six pints of blood through
each right and left ventricle, and so
throughout the whole body. This
works out at roughly 50,000,000 gal-
lons in a lifetime.
That is when the body is com-
