Being High in Mineri;l and Vitamin Content Vegetables Supply Food Values Necessary to Wellâ€"Rounded Diet. Recipes for Frozen Tomatoes and Carrot Ring. Today it is hardly necessary to plead the cause of vegetables as a part of the diet for defense. We Americans who were known as a nation of potato eatâ€" ers are beginning to be noted for our increased consumption of other vegetâ€" ables. First of all I want to go on record that the potato habit is a good one, as this vegetable contributes materially to our mineral and vitamin needs. As pomtoes are among . our most inexpensive foods and remain in this class without rise of price at the present moment, they are partâ€" icularly important item when the money for food is limited. Vegzetabics differ greatly in their material and vitamin contehnt. There are a few‘ generalities which may help in choosing among those in the market. Most vegetables of WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES "Imagine it taking a war to set us right" Husband: "There‘s one thing we can thank Hitler for, He‘s got us saving at last." Husband : "I thitk it‘s partly because these War Savings Certificates are so simple to buy." Husband : The help of every Canadian is needed for V ictory. In these days of war the thoughtless selfish spender is a traitor to our war effort. A reduction in personal spending is now a vital necessity to reâ€" lieve the pressure for goods, to enable more and more labour and materials to be diverted to winning the war, The allâ€"out effort, which Canada must make, demands this selfâ€"denial of each of us.

"You mean the idea of getting the office to deduct a regular amount each week from your salary ?" "Yes! ‘And how they‘re mounting up! Quite a nestâ€"egg when you count the interest they‘re earning."

Not only did this disâ€" ecvery make it possible for diabetics to live many years, but it has stimulâ€" ated research work as to its effects in cther diseases paxtlculally mental alilâ€" ments. , First there was the discovery that many cases of dementia precoxâ€"perâ€" sistent dream stateâ€"could be comâ€" pletely cured or greatly helped by insulin shock. After recovering from the shock, the patient is clearer menâ€" tally unitil finally he is considered fit to return home. ‘\ More recently, research workers have found that individuals who were not confined to mental institutions but were a little "odd" in their beâ€" havior could be helped by doses of insulin, not. large tenoug.h to cause shock. And now a case of straight mental G@eficiency, where a boy had been beâ€" low normal from birth, is reporited greatly improved by insulin. Por years these youngsters deficient menâ€" tally, who are unable to accomplish much at school or elsewhere, have been treated with other gland extracts thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, sexâ€"with a fair amount of success.

That THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS3, ONTARIO when the story opens. SIR JOHN CARR: A South African gold mining magnate; widower, rathéer pompous and purseâ€"proud. but sound at heart. What the Story Has Revealed Peter Crosby, taking a seaside holiâ€" day at Marathon, South Africa‘s preâ€" mier resort, meets Lucy Carr, and falls deeply in love with her. LUCY CARR : His only child, a wery attractive girl in the early twenties. TERENCE PARRY: A rich young acquaintance of the Carr‘s. A man of great charm and good looks, FRANCIS GOULD: Sir John Cartr‘s secretary. Silent, reserved: much ocâ€" cupied with his work and with mining statistics. MR. XOSA, A coloured man of Euroâ€" pean education, short of stature, but a giant in detective skill.. Lucy is more interested in him than she would admit. But to Peter the whole affair seems hopeless because the Carr‘s are notoriously wealthy and he (Peter) has only the small income of a young man learning his profesâ€" sion. ; Peter‘s dilemma is apparent to many people. One Mr. Monte, a rather rough diamond from Johannesburg, affects to take an interest in him, and tells him he can make a fortune overâ€"night by buying shares known as Golden Deeps. Monte is willing to lend him £1,000 to make the gamble. Monte almost forces the money upon the younger man, and Peter telephones a firm of stockbrokers to buy Golden Deeps (a share which had done badly and is then dormant) at a low price. Monte knows that rich, new deposits of gold had been found in the Golden Deep mine. After Peter had bought the shares, the news of the find beâ€" cocmes known, the shares rise tenfold and Reter sells his parcel while the going is good. Almost at the same time, Monte, Peter‘s benefactor, is found dead under a large beach umâ€" brella, stabbed through the heart. Before hearing the news about Before hearing the news â€" AaAbout Monte, Peter met Sir John Carr, who invited him to join the Carr party in the luxury hotel, the Orient.

(Now Read On) CHAPTER IX So it had comeâ€"the searching quesâ€" tion about his sudden wealth. Peter reflected that this girl, whom he was now quite certain he loved, looked very like her father, as she faced him with uplifted determined chin ~and grave blue eyves. Mere evasiveness would help him litâ€" tle, he realised. "What does it mean?" he repeated slowly. "Why, Lucy it means just what you‘ve said. .I have, in fact, come into a fortune." lamely. "I‘d just bought the stoOCk as an investment." "When daid you buy it? It couldn‘t have been as an investment, unless you bought it years and years ago," said the mining magnate‘s daughter wisely. "hbecause the papers say it‘s been worth nothing for ages." "As a matter of fact, I bought it On quite recently," said Peter lamely "How recently?" "A day or two ago."

Lucy lifted a flushed face. "I‘m sorry I bothered you with all those questions. Of course, I congraâ€" tulate you. You‘d better be off, if you‘re going to be back here in time for lunch." But the congratulations had sounded a bit thin, thought Peter grimly, as he got into his stride towards his hotel. He was angry with himself for having deceived the girl about the purchase money. That wouldn‘t do. He would simply have to make aA clean breast of the whole affair, and hope, that she would believe a story that, though true was unfortunately fantastic through and through.

He ignored the quesâ€" tion. / "Making any progress with your inâ€" vestigation?" he asked bluntly. Quayle carefully fitted a cigarette into a black holder, and lit it. + "The beach murder?" he asked. "Oh a little." "Who might have done in?" Peter inquired. "Who might have knowledge of who did him in?" amended Qualye gently. As he ordered drinks, Peter saw A paper lying on A chair. He saw his opportunity. Leaning over, he turned carelessly, and the Golden Deep headâ€" lines, which he knew were there came into view. "Ah! A bit of luck for somenouy, that," said Quayle. "vou," said Peter, "are telling me!" Quayle showed interest. "You had some shares?" Peter noddéd brightly. "I did. As a matter of fact, I‘ve made quite a bit of money. I sold out this morning." "Ah!" said Quayle. He seemed to see light, as Peter had been hoping he would. â€" "Perhapsâ€"pardon me if I‘m being inquisitiveâ€"perhaps that‘s why you‘ve decided to move to the Orient?" ‘nadded.

Sir John staring at Terry he could not believe his ears. He repeated in a whisper: "Golden Deeps!" Terence Parry looked hard at <the mining magnate.

"I tell you, he couldn‘t! Nobody knew about them. Nobody! Exceptâ€"â€"" He stopped abruptly. "I bet you knew," said Terry, with the ghost of a smile. He was watching Sir John anxiously, relieved to see that the colour was coming back to his face, after that first stiffening shock. Sir John nodded. "I did," he adâ€" mitted. ‘"But I didn‘t tell Crosbyâ€"or anyone else who could have told chim. The thing‘s a mystery. ‘Wait!" He paused and turned his head. Francis Gould came on to the terrace.

His thick black eyeâ€" brows were drawn down in a habitual frown. + "I say Gould," said Sir John. Bring me the leather portfolio marked P and Gould nodded. Terence watched his retreat with amused eyes. "One of these days." he remarked, "our friend will fall in love, or get drunk. Then you‘ll see an exhibition of whoopee!

He fumâ€" bled and produced a ring of keys. ‘Then when Gould had departed, he inserted a curiously shaped key and clicked the flat leather case open. He produced a large envelope from its interior. When Gould came back, Sir John took the portfolio with the remark: "Has Orion fixed you up?" asked Sir John. Peter nodded. "Yes, thanks." He was uncomfortably conscious that the two men were watching him closely. He noticed that Sir John had a leather portfolio on his knees. Lucy noticed it too. "You‘ve been working," she acâ€" cused her father. "You promised not to look at any papers while we were here." He found Gould in the study John‘s suite, working among A maASS of papers. He introdueed himself briefly, and handed over the case. "Thanks," said Francis Gould. He glanced up from under his black eyeâ€" brows. "I believe you‘re a mining â€"enâ€" gineer?" He handed Peter a list of figures and notations. The figures referred to" ore grades and estimated yieldsâ€"but .A brief glance was enough to reveal that they contained some grave errors. "I say," he said. "Something wrong here, isn‘t there?" Gould showed no concern. Is there? I thought there might be. Would you mind cgiving me the figures that are wrong? Peter did so, and Gould made a preâ€" tence of writing them down. Peter showed little interest in them. Peter handed back the list, his head in «4 whirl.

Onâ€" "ly a few hours had elapsed since the discovery of Mr. Monte‘s body but al«â€" ready the tragedy had receded into the background as a topic of speculaâ€" lation. The big diningâ€"room rang with laughter and conversation but the bility of a break in the fine weather was discussed more heatedly than Mr. Monte‘s fate.
