Wardell studied the man and the
place of his confinement thoroughly

The Handwriting on the Wall.
The trail that leads to a thief is
often tortuous, but that -identification
sometimes hinges 0n,the most trivial
circumstances is illustrated in a story
from The Recollections of a Police
Magistrate in the Canadian Magazine.
A railway station at a small town in
Ontario had been robbed and, besides
some money, a number of express
orders and railway -tickets had been
taken
Before'the numbers of the stolen
orders had been repartee, one of the
orders was cashed in Toronto' by a
woman who signed her name as "War-
ren." The teller could not give a des.:
cription of the wotna.n but remembered
that another young woman, who was
also at the wicket, had given a little
smile of recognition to the woman who
was getting the money. It was easy
to find the • second woman, but she
proved to have no recollection of the

/Marred food combinations are rest
sponsible for many mare problems of
physical proportions, and health than
are incorrect quantities of food. Be«
cause of this we should, every tine of
us, flak ourselves, "What shall I eat?"
rather than "How much shall T eat?",
Both questions are important when
we are planning food for children, for
they require more in -quantity than is
usually planned for them or else we
would uld n 0
t so often hear parents say
an effect, "Our children have 'bottom-
less pits, not stomachs to fill.." This
fact would not appear so -strange were
we always to remember that the
weight of a child must be maintained
in health, that there must be a month-
ly increase in weight, that there must
be power fox activity and if the ac-
tivity be football plus some field work
the power furnished must be large.
The other day a notice was posted
in a poultry show stating that a hen
to be efficient must have eighty-one
Poundsea food eaoh year. This food
supply must be made up of definite
proportions of each required kind.
A study of our own food habits
will often reveal that we pay too lit-
tle attention to the •proportions of the
required kinds of food and for this
reason many children are not efficient
as is revealed by their inability to
utilize their food supply in growth.
They are described as malnourished
and a monthly study of their weight
chart is recommended Jay the school
1111350.
Adults, too, are not efficiently fed.
If facts were otherwise, we should
rarely bear the request, "Tell me hew
to reduce my weight." Nor would we
see in cars, automobiles and so forth
a man or a woman occupying seat
room originally planned to accommo-
date two!
Obesity in middle and later life and
malnutrition in children come from
a neglect to furnish all the elements
required for an efficient human ma-
chine. We rarely furnish too little
food for any age.
Bread is an essential food, so it is
eaten three times a day. It is scien-
tifically classed as a cereal food.. One
rule of dietetics warns against serv-
ing the same food in snore than one
form during a meal, but how often
breakfasts 'like this are served: wheat
farina and toasted white bread. The
milk taken with the farina. and the
fruit which precedes it make this an
excellent breakfast for the active,
growing child but the average woman
past thirty-fvo years of age, con-
verts her body into a. storehouse
(food stored in the form of fat) when
she takes both the cereal and the
bread, .
Bread may often be omitted by
adults from the noon meal. In it are
repeated the starch of potato, corn
and a starch dessert such as rice
pudding. Some European nations do
not serve bread at dinner and those
who deem a double chin a tragedy
would do well to adopt this custom.
Macaroni, which is a splendid po-
tato substitute, is often served with
meat and potatoes as a second vege-
table. With tomato sauce macaroni
is in every way a potato substitute
because the minerals in the potato
and lacking in the wheat product aro
then added. Macaroni with cheese is
the equivalent• of treat stewed or
baked with potatoes, and should con-
stitute the principal dish of the meal.
If accompanied with greens or with
raw cabbage salad or stewed onions,
no housewife need fear criticism even
if she invites the most skilled in food
matters to dine with her.
Baked beans is another dish nearly
always served with foods of its own
kind. Too often we have regarded it
as a meat substitute and have served
potatoes as an accompaniment. It is
now known that baked beans are not
efficient as a protein food but they
do serve splendidly as the starchy
vegetable which we desire to see at
every dinner. Beans and potatoes
should never meet on the same table.
With the beans serve spinach or
celery or tomatoes or a splendid dish
of lettuce salad and know that with
a fruit dessert, the health of the fam-
ily is well looked after,
Cheese is equivalent to very fat
meat and should be so considered.
Yet very often it conies at the end
of a heavy meal, a tidbit to serve with
pie, already overloaded with fat.
Dreams and nightmares wild may well
be expected to result from such a
combination, for fats delay the diges-
tion of foods taken with them doub-
ling or Oven quadrupling the ,time
required for the digestion of • plain
simple "foody.
Pie a la mode is a complete meal
so far as fuel ie concerned, for a
'triangle of pie, three inches •at the
outer edge, is equivalent to three
slices of buttered bread, and the ice
cream is equivalent to a glass of milk.
A plain lettuce salad Will make the
pie a 1a mode meal perfect. •
More mid more must women put
time into the study of footle and their
combinations and know how 'foods
react in the human body. In this way
we shall Rae able to meet the needs
of oar families and we ourselvos shall
escape the ,agony of .mind b .those
who must reduce weight to increase
efficiency.
Have You a Pretty Hat Box?
Any clever girl can make an at-
tractive hat box, by using her scis-
sors, a brush, and a can of paint.
Perhaps you would like one all black
and shiny and decoi'ated with tiny
bunches of fruits. This is the way I
hada mine:

which had long since been discarded

Next 'I applied two coats of black
enamel which .can be purchased at a
hardware or drug store for 10e a can.
I brightened it up by striping it with
strips cut from orange paper. One-
half inch width was used for the cen-
tre stripe and one-eighth inch for the
narrower ones on each side. In ap-
plying :the strips to the cover I was
careful to see that they matched those
on the sides of the box.
Small. bunches of:.apples cut from
colored kindergarten papers or any
other colored paper and applied here
and there, gave to another prim little
box a quaint appearance. A coat of
shellac over the entire surface not
only strengthened the box but did
much toward keeping the paper tzinn-
ming in position.
Hollyhocks, stenciled designs, heads

mings for the black boxes.
• A Terrible Explosion.
The strictest precautions are neces-
sary in storing and handling the ex-
plosives that are used in the diamond
mines of South Africa. The need of
such stringency was emphasized by
an explosion that wrecked a dozen
magazines near the compound of the
Vit ii i O
e or a M n ng ompany three years
before Mr. Gardner F. Williams as-
sumed the management of the De
Beers Company. In his .book, The
Diamond Mines of South Africa, Mr.
Williams describes the result of the
explosion:
The shock was felt from Dutoitapan
to the farthest limits of the west end
of the camps, and terror-stricken peo-
ple rushed out of their houses to see
a vast heaving cloud of smoke rising
hundreds of feet into the sky.
The magazines were dashed to
pieces, as the Kimberley papers re-
ported, by the terrible power of the
explosives. In most instances the gal-
vanized iron was broken into tiny
atoms as if by myriad hammers, and
cartridges were scattered far and wide
through the debris, exploding in vol-
leys or in scattering blasts for many
minutes after the explosion. One
large stone was thrown as far as the
Central Company's offices, a distance
of two miles, and smaller ones to the
west end, three miles from the maga-
zines. In the most distant parts of
the camp there was• a startling break-
age of windows, lamps and chande-
liers; and the hotel bars and canteens
were so heavily pelted that the floors
were swimming with what we might
call dynamite cocktail, a liquid com-
posed of every liquor under heaven,
from Cape Smoke to Heidsieck and
Pommery. Witnesses of the explosion
thought that hundreds of people had
been killed and injured; but almost
miraculously, as it seemed, only two
persons were killed, one a white, the
other a blank.
