The h of the School, More About Vitamines. Hoi with Lady Anselman's luncheon-party at the Ritz Hotel, London. AmugtM guests are Lord Romsey, a Cabinet Minister; Surgeon-Major Thomson, Chief Inspector of Field Hospitals; his fiancee, Geraldine Conyers; her brother, a naval lieutenant, and n» fiance- Olive Mereton; Captain Upnald Granet, nephew of the hostess, home with a wounded arm. Lieut. Oonyeis receives commission on a "mystery ship and Major Thomson decodes a secret message from the battlefield. Lord Romsey receives a visitor and the conversation reveal- the Cabinet Minister's secret dealings with Germany. Thomson calls at Granet's apartments to discover whether he knows anything about Lord Romsey's visitor. Granet denies any knowledge of tne so-called American chaplain. Geraio-ine evades Thomson's plea for an immediate marriage. He expostulates with Conyers for disclosing Admiralty plans to the two girls and Granet. After a walk in the park with Geraldine, Granet returns to his room to rina a bottle missing from a cupboard. He warns his servant that a new hand has entered the game. War Office refuses to allow him to rejoin bis regiment. Thomson goes to the Front to interview Granet's General and ha3 his suspicions confirmed. Granet motored the two girls to Portsmouth to visit Conyers on the "Scorpion," and tried to discover the ship's secret device. That evening, because Thomson warns her that Granet is suspect, Geraldine breaks their engagement. The following day Granet calls upon Mon-' sieur Guillot at the Milan Hotel. CHAPTER Xni.--(Cont'd.) "You have, too, Granet continued', "a great following throughout France. You are the man for the task I bring to you. You, if you choose, shall save your country and earn the reward she will surely bestow upon you." Monsieur Guillot's cheeks were flushed a little. With long, nervous fingers he rolled a cigarette and lit it. "Monsieur," he said, "I listen to you eagerly, and yet I am puzzled. You wear the uniform of an English officer, but you come to me, is it not so, as an emissary of Germany?" "In bald words that may be true," Granet confessed, "yet I would remind you of two things. First, thai the more dominant part of the personality which I have inherited comes to me from Alsatian ancestors; and secondly, that this peace for which I am know w« _I knows what vitamines -~ ~ j demands a woman wh .figure.

Granet drew a thin packet from the breast pocket of his coat. He laid it on the table between them. "I received this," he announced, 'less than three weeks ago from the hands of the Kaiser himself." Monsieur Guillot gazed at his companion incredulously. "It was very simple," Granet continued. "I was taken prisoner near the village of Ossray. I was conducted at once to headquarters and taken by motor-car to a certain fortified place which I will not snecify, but Which was at that time the headquarters of the German Staff. I received this document there in the way I have told you. I was then assisted, after some very remarkable adventures, to rejoin my regiment. You ; way up into the future. ...

"My country will make peace," Granet replied. "It will be a peace that will cost us much, but nothing more than we deserve. For- generations this war has been the perfectly obvious and apparent sequence of European events. It threw its warning shadow across our path for years, and our statesmen deliberately turned their beads the other way or walked blindfolded. Not only our statesmen, mind, but our people, our English people. Our young men shirked their duty, our philosophers and essayists shirked theirs. We prated of peace and conventions, and we knew very well that we were living in times when human nature and red blood were still the controlling elements. We watched Germany arm and prepare. We turned for comfort towards our fellow sinners, America, and we prat-fcl I about conventions and arbitration, and a hundred other silly abstractions. A father can watch the punishment of his child, Monsieur Guillot. Believe me, there are many other Englishmen besides me who will feel a melancholy satisfaction in the chastisement of their country, many who are more English, even, than I." Monsieur Guillot passed away from the personal side of the matter. Already his mind was travelling swiftly along the avenues of his own future greatness. "This is the chance which comes to few men," he muttered. "There is De-jane, Gardine, Debonnot, Senn, besides my own followers. My own journal, too! It is a great campaign, this, which I shall start." Granet. rose to his feet. "After to-day I breathe more freely," he confessed. "There have been enemies pressing closely around I have walked in fear. To-day I a free man. Take care, monsieur. Take care especially whilst you are in Eng- years to come you'and I shall perhaps meet in our wonderful Paris, and if I may ncL. tell the world" so, I shall yet feel, as we look upon her greatness, that you and I together have saved France. Adieu!" Granet made his way along the empty corridor, rang for the lift and descended into the hall. A smile was upon his lips. The torch at last was kindled! In the hall of the hotel he came across a group of assembling guests just starting foT the luncheon room. A tall, familiar figure stepped for a moment on one side. His heart gave a little jump. Geraldine held out her pearl-gloved hand. "Captain Granet," she said, wanted to tell you something." "Yes?" he answered breathlessly. She glanced towards where the little group of people were already on their way to the stairs. "I must not stay for a second," she itinued, dropping her voice, "but I wanted to tell you--I am no longer engaged to Major Thomson. Goodbye!" A rush of words trembled upon his :~~ but she was gone. He watshed -- the whole scheme complete, th< bomb-shell thrown, France hysterically casting laurels upon the man who had brought her unexpected peace. The door-bell rang. He answered it a little impatiently. A slim, fashionably dressed young Frenchman stood there, whose face was vaguely familiar to him. "Monsieur Guillot inquired politely. Guillot bowed. The young handed him a card. "I am the Baron D'Evignon, announced, "second secretary at the Embassy here." Monsieur Guillot held the card and looked at his visitor. He was very puzzled. Some dim sense of forebodino' was beginning to steal in upon him. "Be so kind as to come in, Monsieur le Baron," he invited. "Will you not be seated and explain to me to what I am indebted for this honor? You do not, by any chance, mistake for another? I am Monsieur Guillot, lately, alas! of Lil! " The Baron smiled ever so slightly as he waved away the chair. "There is no mistake, Monsieur Guillot," he said. "I come to you with a message from my Chief. He would be greatly honored if you woi company me to the Embassy, wishes a few minutes' conversation with you." "With me?" Monsieur Guillot echoed incredulously. "But there is "No mistake, I t young man insisted. Monsieur Guillot drew a little back "But what have I to do with the Ambassador, or with diplomatic matters of any sort?" he protested. "1 am here on business, to see what can be saved from the wreck of my affairs. Monsieur the Ambassador is mistaking me for another. The Baron shook his head.

There was a brief, tense silt an who had called himself Guillot as transformed. The dreams which had uplifted him a few minutes ago, had passed. He was living very much ' : the present--an ugly and forebod-g present. The veins stood out upon his forehead and upon the back of his hands, his teeth gleamed underneath his coarse, white moustache. Then he recovered himself. "There is some mistake," he "but I will come." In silence they left the hotel and drove to the Embassy, in silence the young man ushered his charge into the large, pleasant apartment on the ground floor of the Embassy, where the ambassador was giving instructions to two of his secretaries. He dismissed them with a little wave of his hand and bowed politely to his visitor.

The man got to the ground in slower fashion. Meanwhile the baby bear had climbed another tree. The surveyor, then assuming that the cub would repeat its tactics, took his pocket tape line, made a slip noose in one end, and placed It beneath the limb from which, as nearly as he could calculate, the bear would drop, if It tumbled from the second tree as from j the first. Keeping the box end of the the eye. The second, known as Water Soluble B, is also most important for growth, and prevents beri-beri, a. d' ease common in the Orient, which characterized by paralysis. Water Soluble G, the third vitamine, not only is important for growth, but it prevents scurvy. It might almost be called a cure for scurvy as well, for where this disease has been prevalent it has frequently been cured by feeding raw vegetables known to Water Soluble C. This vitami easily destroyed by heat, so it its best in uncooked vegetables. Too long cooking kills the power of all the vitamines, so in cooking any vegetable the time allowed should be just enough to admit thorough cooking. Now, as to where the vitamines are Fat Soluble A is found in the following foods: '1. Butter, cream, milk; 2, egg yolks; 3, fish oils; 4, green vegetables, cabbage, dried spinach; 5, glandular organs of the body, as liver and Sidneys; 6, carrots, sweet potatoes; 7, tomatoes; 8, germs of seeds; 9, cleo oils. Water Soluble B is found in the fat lowing foods: 1, Yeast; 2, eggs; 3, grain embryo; 4, whole grain; 5, beans; 6, peas; 7, whole or skim-milk; 8, fruit and vegetables; 9, powdered and condensed milk; 10, niuts; 11, cheese. Water Soluble C is found in the following foods: 1, Orange juice; 2, lemon juice; 3 tomatoes, raw or canned; 4, raw cabbage; 5, raw turnip juice or raw ti nips; 6, lime juice; 7, raw carrots; milk; 9, string beans; 10, beets; 11, other fruits and vegetables.

The man cautiously followed, and the bear walked nearly to the end then dropped to the ground. As luck would have it, the cub dropped, outside the noose, but when he turned stepped inside with his fore feet. The man instantly drew the line, and there was baby bear caught by its fore leg3. It struggled and snarled, but only drew the slipknot tighter. The man descended to the ground, holding the line taut. He had quite a fight with the cub, but finally conquered, and the little fellow submitted to be led home, where it soon became strdyed by cooking. r may ----- Xou can] her slim sraceful fkrure as slip" nawwd text 011 tne part of Monsieur Guillot. open that document, Monsieur Guillot. f^^i^S vEull Ind He recognized its complete futility.

The United States Bureau of Standards has been helping the Public Health Service, by making analysis of inks, to find out the cause of skin trouble which commonly afflicts the workers in printing and engraving plants. It affects those parts of the arms and hands which are constantly in contact with colored inks. The trouble in some cases is a mere rash on the forearms and hands; in others the skin assumes locally a scal-ly appearance, followed by blisters with itching and burning. Occasionally ulcers develop. It is a serious matter, and has long been a puzzle to physicians. The printers have been inclined to "attribute it to the introduction of substitutes for oil of turpentine. Persons who have a dry-skin suffer most; those whose skin ie oily are least afflicted. A thorough experimental inquiry has now led to the conclusion that the mischief is due to absorption of the oil and pigments in the ink, and to the methods commonly adopted for removing the ink from the hands and arms. A dry skin is comparable to a blotter, which readily absorbs the oil in the inks and the pigments carried with the oil. On the other hand, the pigments are less easily removed from a dry skin than from a skin that is already oily. Therefore, in the case of a dry skin more scrubbing is required, whereby the skin is irritated. Removal of the ink from hands and arms at the end of tb/» work • erlofl I? fashion, washing with mineral oil be- ing followed with soap and hot water --perhaps sandsoap or pumice soap helped with a stiff brush. Sawdust mixed with liquid green soap will be found much more effective for the purpose, used with warm water; and, if lanolin (wool-fat) be rubbed over the arms and hand; fore beginning work it will make much easier the subsequent removal of the ink. The upshot of the experiments is a recommendation that a mixture of lanolin and olive oil, half and half, be kept in the washroom where printers change their street clothes for work clothes. Before entering the pressrooms each worker should be required to rub the stuff well into the pores of hands and arms. At the end of each shift he should remove the ink with a mixture of soap and sawdust, which will accomplish the object readily and without injury to the skin.

Many people have attempted to trace the origin of the term "porterhouse" steak to a man named Porter, who is supposed to have kept a restaurant in New York. The real reason for the term w^as because, in the early part of the last century, there existed in New York a number of public-houses wnere ale and • porter were the favorite beverages ordered. These taverns or saloons came to be known as porter-houses. The proprietor of one of these establishments, on being asked for a particularly tender and appetizing steak, made the experiment of cutting the top off a joint which had been sent for his personal use. The customer was so pleased that he called a day or two later and demanded another of those steaks. The fame of the tavern and its steak soon spread, and it was not long before epicures throughout the city were asking for porter-house steaks, and butchers, learning the secret cf adopted the term themselves.
