l'AGE SIXTEEN The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, Angust 4, 1929 S. TT1 . WHAT HAS GOXE BEFORE I KJdie Regan, onoe a member of a Kew York gang, baa escaped to Vir ginia, where be mt-t-ts Marian Thorn dike. Bernice Veresst, "gang girl," who Is in love with Eddie, is forgotten in Eddie's dreams of Marian. Penefield Paradine, last member of an aristo cratic southern family, whom . Eddie befriends, dies and leaves Eddie all his possessions.' Eddie declares his love to Harlan, but she discourages him. She is thrown from her horse, and Tom Freeman, searching for ber. finds ber in Eddie's house, where she has gone for help. He takes her home, and the next day Marian sends a note of thanks to Eddie for taking care of her. He goes to rail on her, and the door is opened by ber father. Marian and Eddie are having tea when the servant announces Mr.- Freeman. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORT h CHAPTER XIX. . "It might be a little tpo rich for your blood," Freeman sug gested. "Yes that's the idea. You'll be a lot healthier if you stick to your own brand of weather and keep yourself in the shade. Hap pier and healthier." "You're a bum weather proph et," Eddie told him. Tom Freeman scowled. "It's too bad you are not a gentleman or all this wouldn't be necessary." "Listen." Eddie faced him with a steady eye that was growing colder every second. "You don't hare to worry about m or my health, Buddie. Not a-tall. -And if you've got anything to Bettle with" me, you don't have to stall around with hints. If you've got anything on your mind let's hear it." "If I had anything to say to you on my own account I would n't hhave wasted this much time," Tom Freeman informed him. "The truth Is, Regan, that I'm not exactly speaking for myself. I'm doing it on behalf of a friend. You came this afternoon to Mr. Thorndike's home and out of common politeness he couldn't say anything to you while you were on his place." "Couldn't he? Well, there was nothing to atop him if he had wanted to and I don't believe he sent you to tell me anything either." You're right about one thing he didn't send me." Freeman ad. mitted. "As you remember he called me out of the room a lit tle while ago and we had a talk. I suppose you know about the hard feelings between him and .Mr. Paradine?" "I know all about it." "If you know all about it, you ought to have belter sense than to go hanging around Mr. Thorn dike's place. He didn't have any use for you, either. Maybe it ain't your fault you're a strang er. That's the way things ctand. Mr. Thorndike don't change his POINT 0 UT DANGER IN FOOD, DRINK EXCESSES Dr. Copeland, Commenting on the Report That Diabetes Is on Increase, Agrees That General Die tary Knowledge Will Help Prevent This Disease. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Health. Veto York City. IN a recent report of a great life insurance company appears this significant statement: "It is our best Judgment that diabetes is on the increase, in spite of the, use of insulin." "But why?" you will ask. "Because of the dietary excesses prac OR OOPClANO made to refuel the airships. Without fuel there most come an end to any flight The refueling experiments have proven that the machine itself is capable of sustained flying far beyond the time necessary to gf half 'round the world, or even more. The present problem is to tind a way for one airship to carry, : the necessary fuel for sucn a pro longed flight. In a sense the body is like the air ship. With its present equipment for the supply of digestive materials, It cannot go beyond the normal field of Its flights. Insulin helps to refuel, but unfortunately, its use is not suitable for every case. Con sequently, it la not safe to overdo the things that may result In this form of physical disaster. The con sumption of food must be limited to such quantities as can be handled by the digestive organs. Many chemical wonders are per formed within the body. One of them is the manufacture in the "pancreas" the "sweet bread" of I an important substance. This is added to the food content of the in testinal tract, for the purpose of matins; the sugar we eat acceptable to the blood and body. Without an abundance of this pancreatic sub stance, there arise a series of symp toms resulting in impaired health. Thia Is diabetes. This disease may result from one of . two causes a decrease In the quantity of the pancreatic chemical, or the habitual .eating of foods in exeese of the .quantity that csn be acted upon by this chemical. Pos sibly both causes may exist, with Increased . probability of serious trouble. Diabetes is only one of the bad re sults that follow overindulgence' in food and drink. Temperance is the only rule of safety. j Answers to Heal tfi" Queries a b. grt aged weigh T A. She pounds Q. Bow much shoejld 17. ( feet inches tall should weigh about 121 M. B. Q.

He told me straight out that he didn't like your looks and he did n't want you coming around here, or associating with MlSs Marian. Of course, if you come right up to his front door he's got a temper like a bolt of lightning and it will make it easier on everybody con cerned if you Just take your name out of the pot. That's about as plain as I can make it, I reckon." Eddie fumbled with the hitch, ing strap; purposely delaying his departure. "So that's the way he feels about It, is it?" "Yes, that's the way he feels.'! "Maybe you feel the same way?" "You're a good guesser." "Yon don't like me, do you, Freeman?" "I don't like your style of beau ty." "You mean you don't like my face?" "I don't like your face." Eddie very leisurely climbed into bis buggy, but he did not start the horse at once. "I hate to leave you In that unsatisfied condition about the looks of my face," he said quiet ly. Til tell you what Fll do with you I'll give you a chance to change the looks of my face any time you feel like it. There won't be a bit of .trouble finding me any time you feel like taking a sock or two at my nan. You know where I live and the gate's always open. Any time you come up with your coat over your arm I'll be tickled to death to accommo date you." Tom Freeman's, face was lazy wit,h contempt. "When I get around to it 1 may take you up on that proposition," he said. Meanwhile, you ve had your warning about keeping off this place and keeping away from Miss Marian. A fellow like you doe3 n't belong hanging around a girl like her and I'm not speaking in her father's behalf now. I'm talking for myself." Eddie slapped the reins on his horse's back. "Come up and see me some time," he invited, "and we'll figure it all out back of the barn or any place you say." A3 he drove home Eddie car ried a hurt feeling in his breast. It grieved him to know that he had been an unwelcome guest in Marian Thorndike's home. That her father's prejudice against him was senseless made the sting of no more or less se vere.

Thia report shows that for the first three months of 1929. the death rate from diabetes was in excess of 23 for each 100,000 of the popu lation. It is feared that this year will show the highest percentage of deaths ever recorded front this cause. Overindulgence in food and drink is regarded as the chief factor in producing the disease. But here is a comforting statement: "This i .one of the diseases which, among older people, 'may be prevented by popular education." Nature is more than generous. She is even prodigal in bestowing her gifts. She has equipped the body with organs and parts that are capable of supplying all the digestive substances that are needed by reasonably sensible human beings. She even prepares for moderate excesses. All of us are interested in the experiments auto-intoxication, indigestion or nasal catarrh. J.

Sfc And fed dike's courtesy and charm would ever be curdled and turned to gall. A' gigantic perplexity stalled his determination. Obviously, he could not hope to keep np any open and pleasant relationship with Marian; pride forbade him ever again thrusting himself into a house where he was not want ed. Yet it was equally Impossible to give .up his dreams about the llrL It he wiped her out of his conscience the whole of life would be without zest, without meaning. But there was no point of attack, no way to rush in and contest for his heart's desire. He was bound, handcuffed. Dismally, he won dered if Marian even If she so desired would ever be strong enough to loosen the coils of family pride that bound her, too. On his somber horizon, there was only one star of hope, one gleam of light. Sooner or later he was going to meet Tom Freeman. There was savage exultation in the thought; a deep, satisfying task awaited his fists . Eddie found that he was be. ginning to worry so much about the apparent hopelessness of his love for Marian Thorndike that he was losing his perspective on other matters and making him self completely miserable. And that, he told himself, was a sign of weakness. With difficulty he tried to convince himself that Marion Thorndike was only one element in his life that other things were quite as vital. Bitter self-approach gorged him for mooning and moping around. So far, he had done lit tle or nothing to make himself worthy of his love for the golden spirited girl, gently bred and sen, sltive and gloriously perfect, who would be violenly repelled from POLLY AND HER PALS "F&UL FLAV'l I THE R?OR BO WASM : TT fl 7TZ KJOKJSBsfSB-'A JUST ABOUT TO YtfM . t MoK HlW . fgfl Itf A TvaEkTL LOST.

JA ARB NOME A4 Alfcl, jp him did she but know the sordid background of. underworld life he had lived through. In his bedroom he walked to the mirror and faced himself in the looking glass. "You got away from the muck of the gang in New York, Eddie Regan," he told himself serious ly. "The trouble is that some of the muck is still clinging to you. You're trying to climb up among the etars before you've cleaned yourself of all the dirt you've brought down here with you. If you eared as much about her as you pretend to yourself you'd pitch In and do something that would make a real man out of you. You're a great guy tor dreaming but when it comes to work you're not so hot." He went to bed and awoke In the morning with a new eager ness to get to the fields. If hu man labor could cieanse the soul and strengthen the fibre of man he would work as no man had ever worked before. He would do the work of two men, three men. With his axe he attacked the trees in the woods furiously and felled gigantic crashing lengths of timber. Later, with Tobe on the other end of a cross cut saw, he furnished three fourths of the energy that sent tee sharp blade eating through the wood. With the heavy logs on his arms he built stack after stack of drying piles. "I've got to work like hell!" he muttered. The petty tasks of the farm he delegated to Tobe, saving for himself the heavy muscular ef forts. In the burring up of ener gy he found that he was har. rassed less by vain jrearnings and caustic jealousy. GOOD-NIGHT STORIES By Mai Trefl Mr. WalkJng-Stlck Placed Too Much Confidence in His Disquise. One afternoon MiJ, Flor, Han id, Yam and Knarf the five lit tle shadow-children with the turned-about names were sit ting under a shrub In the garden MAVBE a& should HAVE- REMAINED LOKl&Ew ATT UNCLE EVERETT, RANCH, TOOT! WE, CHRTAJHLV HAO A VDNbERPUL VACATION f4-- r- M when they heard a voice say; "Good afternoon !' They quickly looked around, for the voice seemed to come from within the shrub. They saw nothing. "Good afternoon!" said the voice again, this time with a little chuckle In It. They peered as closely as they could. Yam, who was the smallest, crept into the shrub and poked around. There was no doubt that the voice was there. But where was the body that the Voice came from? That was the question . AH at once a tiny twig dropped to the ground. The shadow.child ren paid no attention to It. of course. A twig wouldn't be like ly to say "Good afternoon." But this twig did say "Good afternoon." It said It so loudly and so plainly that they were too startled to return its greeting. "I hope I haven't frightened you," It said. "I just wanted to let you know I was here." With that it started to w,alk off. The shadow-children saw now that It wasn't a twig at all. But it bore the most striking resem blance to one. Its long straight body' was brown like bark with just a. hint of green. It had six legs of the same color. The two front legs, however, were shorter than the other four and instead of touching: the ground. were curled up like a trunk. They were brown and green at tha bottom, like tiny leaves." Its head was set high up and Its tail, leaf, green, was also curled. It looked like something made out of little bits of twigs and leaves. "Ob, so you aren't a twig!'' ex claimed Flor. It stopped short. "Sh-h." It cautioned. "Don't say that too loudly! I'm not really a twig, but I'm supposed to be one!" Noting that the children seemed more puzzled than ever, it said: "I'm a Walking-Stick. At least that's what I'm called, al though it would bo more proper to call me a Walking-Twig. I'm shaped and colored like a twig in order to go, about my business without being bothered. I mean, that by being mistaken for a twig, i won't be eaten like other insects by birds " "And you're an Insect!" said "Word to "They Make ( HOW COM& AlF " "Npi III HEAVENS'. 50ME.

"Oh, we don't mind being tak en for what we ate," said Mij. "Because we're not eaten by birds," added Knarf. "Well, suit yourselves," said the Walking-Twig. "I'm going for a walk.

Then it strode off on four fbey Were Sitting Under a Shrub. long legs, its head bobbing up and down in time with its stride. The shadow-children followed along after it, for they were cap tivated by its odd t-hape. They still couldn't believe that it was an insect and not a twig. Upon reaching the meadow, it climbed upon a small flat stone and sunned itself, disregarding the swallows that were whirling and skimming over the ground near by. "Better watch out," Hanid warned. "They'll never get me in this disguise " it started to say, when all of a sudden, a swallow did swoop down upon it. In the twinkling of an eye it was gone. The shadow-children - clacked their tongues In pity. "The swallow did recognize It the Wise.' a Discovery." The Home Kitchen By ALICE LYNN BARRY PilaiH From the Orient Is Wholesome One-Piece- Dish From the Orient eomes a dish which is growing in popularity in American restaurants a aid homes. It's a one-piece dish and it may be strictly, vegetarian or may contain meat. The basis of pilau Is either rice or cracked wheat rice being preferable to the wheat in warm weather. And brown rice prefer able to the white rice. If you happen to have some boiled rice left, it may be made into a pilau for the next meaL But otherwise the vegetables are cooked with the raw rice until it has absorbed all the juice and is tender. Here are a few kinds of pilau in which no meat is used: Tomato Pilau 1 cup rice, uncooked. 2 lbs. ripe tomatoes. f 1 cup bouillon. 58 2 onions. , 4 tablespoons butter. 1 teaspoon salt. i teaspoon ginger. Heat the tomatoes a few mo ments, then press throus.li a sieve. Fry the onions in 1 table spoon of butter, then add to to mato juice and bouillon which must be heated together. When ft comes to a boil add the rice, re duce thesflame, and let cook slowly until the rice absorbs all the liquid. Then add seasoning and 3 tablespoons of butter, and mix through 'the rice with a fork, cover the pan and let stand over a very small flame for ten min utes, watching to be sure it does not burn Oriental Pilau When adding rice to the toma to juice, as described above, also add Vi cup of .skinned almonds. even in its dissruise." said Yam. !

By either halved or whole, but nofi in broken bits. When . this is cooked for about an . hour with the rice and tomato mixture it develops a delicious, rather exotiq flavor. Chicken Pilau 1 chicken. 1 cup rice, uncooked. 1 onion. 1 teaspoon salt. 1-4 teaspoon pepper. 2 tablespoons butter. y teaspoon curry powder. Cut the chicken . into serving pieces and brown quickly in the! butter, on both sides. Add on ions, rice and enough hot water to completely cover. Cook over a low flame for about an hour or until the chicken is tender. Add spices, heat for five minute longer and serve. Lamb Pilau 1 pound lamb. 1 medium size eggplant. 1 cflp rice. 2 tablespoons butler." 1 teaspoon salt. 1-4 teaspoon pepper. 1 onion. 1 teaspoon chopped parsley. 4 cups hot water or bouillon. The lamb should be minue bone and fat, but any section will do. It should be cut into two inch cubes. Brown the sliced on ion in the butter, add lamb and sear quickly, then add hot wafer or bouillon and the rice. Cook over a low fire for 30 minutes. Peel the eggplant and cut into two-inch cubes. Add to lamb and rice and continue cooking for half an hour until eggplant is tender . Do not overcook, or it becomes shapeless and unattract ive. Season a few moments be fore removing from fire and gar ni?h with chopped parsley. This is a convenient one-piece dish for a cool day. A pilau is not necessarily a hief or meat dish. It may be served as a sweet if desired tv Inch means the rice is cooked with raisins or apricots, stoned cherries, and sweetened with honey instead of sugar. By CLIFF STERRETT RUSS WESTOVER UOH.
