Health MOllK ABOUT VITAMIN A A most Impressive amount of ex periment evidence concerning the Im portance of vitamin A Is being ac cumulated. This vitamin has now been shown to have a bearing on many diverse dlscasC(Ji mcludlng pyorrhea, child bed Infections, stone formations, res piratory diseases, xerophthalmia, a serious disease of the eye, night blind ness and more recently and this Is very Important degenerative diseases of the spinal cord In man and ani mals. 1 Certain diseases of the eye and nervous system, particularly night blindness, have been known for many centuries, and the ancient physicians recognized that these dl senses had some relation to dietary deficiencies. Hippocrates, the ancient Greek phy sician, recommended ox liver dipped In honey as a cure for night blind nefca. In Japan bird's liver was em ployed and In Newfoundland codfish liver. ' . :. It Is not adduced from this, that tho ancient physicians had any knowledge of the existence of vita min A, but all of the foregoing rem edies are known to be rich In this vitamin and undoubtedly proved ef fective as a treatment. In 'recent months some Interesting facta on the relationship of vitamin A deficiency to degenerative diseases of the spinal cord have come to light. It has been shown that puppies fed on a rickets-producing and vita min A-deficlent diet developed not only rickets but also great muscular weakness. When these animals were fed vita min D their rickets disappeared, but muscular weakness and a certain amount of muscular incoordination remained.

Ore., Aug. 29 W -George Pierce, 36. alleged "under cover agent" working out of the dis trict attorney's office here, was held In the city Jail on an extortion charge, accused of having demanded and taken money from a Chinese, ar rested in a lottery raid. Fierce, who displayed a Umatilla county deputy sheriff's badge, was arrested In the place Friday . night when the police raided the shop. Oh Sing, alleged proprietor, was accused of having lottery paraphernalia. Police said Pierce admitted to them later that he does not hold a sheriff's commission here or In Umatilla coun ty. The Chinese said Pierce prom ised them protection and took money from them on that basis. Pierce charged that the Chinese had offered him money but that he refused It. Lotus Langley, district attorney, asked by Pierce to assist In having him released from Jail, was quoted as having replied he would do noth ing until be had determined whether tho extortion charge was true. FORMERLY IN LA GRANDE Local authorities were interested In the Pierce arrest In Portland, as a George Pierce formerly . operated In this locality as a prohibition agent with the Btate forces. Whether this is the Bame George Pierce or not is unknown, but It Is believed locally that It Is the same man, as after leaving here he went to Pendleton. The St. Louis Art museum pos sesses what is rated as one of the finest collections of Chinese art in this country. Menus Of The Day By Mi's.

In love with Dan Phillip,, newspnper reporter whom her wealthy, arUtocratlo parents have forbidden her to see. When Cherry learns Dan's telephone messages have been kept from her she steals out of the house to meet him. Her father discovers this and threatens to send her to Cali fornia. Cherry defies him and he orders her to leave. She goes to Dan, tells him what has happened and asks him to marry her. The ceremony Is per formed that night by a Justice of peace. Next day Cherry, who has only the dress she Is wearing, goes shopping. Bhe opens a charge ac count, makes purchases that total S03.70, and then Is ashamed to tell Dan of her extravagance. Her maid comes to see her next morn lng and promises to send Cherry's clothes. Cherry returns her pur chases to the store. Bhe sets out ' to find an apartment but Is dis couraged to find those she looks at so expensive. While Bhe Is waiting for Dan the telephone rings. NOW OO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIV Dan's voice came to her over the wlro. "Hello, Cherry. Say. I don't know when I'm going to be able to get awny from here. You'd better go out for dinner without waiting on me. Thought I'd better toll you " "Oh, Dan I" Cherry's disappoint ment was obvlouB. "I'm sorry, dear. Make It lust as soon as I can. What kind of a day did you have? Any luck with those apartments? Did you find anything you liked?" Dan's tone was cheerful, casual. Cherry, after her wearying, disap pointing day was suddenly swept by loneliness. She must see Dan. If he couldn't coiito to her she would go to him. "Where ore you?" she asked eagerly. "I don't mind about din ner. I'm not hungry but it's lonely here. Let me come and stay with you until you finish your work." "But you can't, Cherry!" "Please I" "I'm sorry, but It's Impossible. It's simply well, It's Just out of the question. I'll got there as soon as I can, but don't wait for me. I may be tied up for three or four hours yet." The whole day had gone wrong for Cherry. She was weary and be wildered and frightened by what she had learned of the way living costs can gobble money. Now for Dan to disappoint her was tho last strawl Suddenly Bhe was like a hurt and petulant child. "Why can't I come?" she domand ed. "Why won't you let me? And I don't see any reason why you should havo to keep on working." It's al most six o'clock " "Cherry! Don't you understand? I'm tied upon a story. A big one.
