In the case of most vegetables the health glving vitamins and mineral ealts are set free in the boiling process. The water is then drained off and the vegetables go to the table minus . the_propertles 'that are needed for tables and fruit for cooking. They are left in water, sometimes for * hours, a procedure that robs them "of a considerable part of their vital _ elements. The reform required is that the water thus impregnated with mineral properties should be used jn some form. The competent, sclentific cook of the- future will ind ways to do that, it it still is ne- water in preparation of vegetable foods. WATER DRAINED OFF There are many other simple ex: pedients that ought to be known and practised In the kitchen. And throughout the country hundreds of thousands of persons are suffering', various disabllities that arise from chemical deficiencies caused by the removal of natural elements from the food. The government of Can ada has come to realizo that there 1s a serious situation In that regard and has taken steps to disseminate information on the subject, It is.a - step that ought to have consider able effect on public drealth In the coming years. 3 Tattoo, '1940 Style.

CHAPTER XII Iris rode down to the hospital in Dr. Pitcher's coupe, right be. hind the ambulance, It would do no good, as the doctor pointed out, Mr. Whittaker would not know anyone for several days to come. He was a very sick man. "Business troubles?" had asked Iris, in the little living room, after examining Bart. Aft. er telling her bluntly her husband had pneumonia. "Yes," she said faintly. "Well you look like a sensible young lady. You go right down to your job and hold things to- he 'gether, If worry got him into this state, then he'll recover a lot quicker, when he begins to gain, if he knows you're keeping things running for him. You--ah--work in Dean Somers' office, I believe? "Yes." It was cold and blustery and there was a raw, after-rain bite to the fall wind, 'but Iris walked all the way from the' hospital to the office. And at noon, after she talked with Ellen Trent, she took the coat back. . "This was what Bart worried about, Iris, you 'see.

Maybe she'd have to be tie sole support of the family for a long time. If Bart didn't recover from his-illness fast. --- During the days that followed, the serene order of Iris' former keeps working. Or if - existence vanished forever. No longer could she dawdle at break fast, or lunch » when, how, and with whom she pleased. Qr on whatevér she liked, Nor were her evenings untouched by the calam. ity which befell theni. To begin with, she went to the hospital morning, noon and night, And for five dreadful days, there was no change. For five days, she did not step foot in the room, or even get to the closed door with the nurse sitting on guard at the ward desk, outside. Pleasant, effi- cient, firm, the nurse was. in an awful nightmare of unreal- ity, With worry, growing hydra- headed, every time she stopped working long enough to remember Bart. Remember how ill he was. Remember all that had happened, _ and all that -was happening still to them. .. 0% * No More Shop There was the shop.

There were collectors and disagreeable, hard-faced men who spoké of in- junctions, liens and claims, and. waved long folded papers, There was young Howard Lang, attornty at law, and boyhood friend of Bart's. And finally, there * was no more shop, and peace. Ex- cept for the fact that Bart must be told. Sometime. When he was well again, when he was strong enough to bear knowing. Meanwhile there were her own tangled budgets. There was the Vogue Gown Shop, -and the Miss. es' Budget Shop, and the -Char- lotte Shoppe, Seated at the little table Bart had enameled for her, the first week of their marriage, Iris sipped a cup of hot tea, and nibbled bui- tered toast and a boiled egg and a dish of baked apple, Eating mechanically, she began writing down every single bill, every ac- count. Racking her mind lest she forget a "single item. The milk bill, the drugstore, the jewelers, where Bart had purchased the dia- mond ring. She had a staggering list when they were all set down, Enough to fairly kill her appetite, But she finished the last crumb of toast, poured out the remain. ing half -cup of hot tea and drank it. The Little Book Rummaging in the desk, where Bart had worked with the budget book, worked at his accounts, when he brought things home from the shop to finish up, Iris found the little black book. Opening "it desperately, she leafed through it in feverish haste, Food, menus, buying, planning meals, using up leftovers. Puddings, parties, sav- | ings, insurance, investments, pls = ! ning your future. The book dica':' miss a trick, "Do you need all you think you have to have now?' asked a chap ter. It gave Iris pause for thought, Did she? * * + . - Scberly, she flung open the closet door. 'Suddenly, she began taking down the clothes she had loved so well. Loved beyond every- thing else. She was another Thais, now, burning all on the altar of "her devotion, qnly unlike Thais, she did nct withhold her tiny fig- urine of the god of love. Unlike" Thais, she made no reservations. Because this was voluntary, but it was also harsh necessity, Because now she understood - what Bart said when he hated credit, hated budget buying, and hated install- ment payments. Now she knew. It was because of the awful shame, if you couldn't pay, The shame- of knowing you had : something you hadn't paid for, and couldn't. pay for. Something you had no right to; that didn't. belong to you. That was what lay back of every budget bought article. That _great_black shadowy doubt, 'Her Clothes Sold i In the morning, she asked El- len about'sécond-hand clothes buy- ers, And at noon, she went to the dry cleaning and second-hand clothes establishment, "We'd have to see the garments, Madam," the man told her blunt- ly. "Sure we buy. But the price depends on the goods. People who |. buy second-hand clothes don't care-- about classy duds." The amount she received was so much less than she had ex- pected, Iris was tempted not to let the clothes go. She did really need them. But--the bills drove her on. She 'sold them for what she ould get, and took the money. to pay on her budget accounts. She sold the chair 'and smok- ing stand, dnd the furnishings in the apartment. Then she rented a big room with a double bed and comfortable chairs, and a small bath in MrsS Brady's Boarding House. She moved in that Sunday, ~ A week from her retufn from her honeymoon-vacation, She moved in, and" left word at the hospital that she could be reached at Mrs. Brady's telephone. 2 On Monday morning, she took the diamond back and, received $20, since Bart had the ring al- most paid for. The - $20 cleared up an account she had been un- able to pay anything on after sell- ing the greater part of her ward- robe, Through all the trouble and confusion of those days Iris never missed her friends.

Bart was right, = * * Coming into the hospital, that morning to see Bart, Iris was ' startled to see Ted Bingham wait- ing. And beside him, a dark pretty girl, obviously his wife, Dotty. "Hello, Mrs, Whittaker," Ted said eagerly, "we heard Bart was sick and we came over to see if there was anything we could do. You had moved from the address Mr, Whittaker tolit-us, and nobody So we came down here." Iris felt the damp streaks on her face, the tears she had been unable to shed all the long dreary the mess that had been her old life. The life Bart had been unable to bear. That had worried him- into neglecting his health, into this dreadful illness. . "Ted," she said simply, yemem- | bering Bart had called the young man that; feeling somehow that it would please Bart if she called him that now, if she was nice to him, "Ted, the very first thing In going to tell Bart, when he can see me, is that you two were here to see him!' She swallowed then and blinked, but the blur wouldn't vanish, "He'll be proud to know you remembered -- and cared," she said softly. y : They went out, slowly and a "Good news for you this morn- ing, Mrs, Whittaker, You're th see that big husband of yours for a little while.

And not to stay too long?" ; : He Understood Inside the quiet, dim room that "was much too cold 'for comfort, Iris stood by the high white iron bed and felt her eyes blurring so his hand, thin but warm, found hers and closed around it tightly, Silently, they stood thus. Silently, while a deep vast prayer of grati- tude swelled in Iris' heart, swept up to engulf her, until it pounded - and beat in her ears like thunder, "Darling," ¥he whispered - shak- ily, "I'm so glad I can see you," THE GREATER NORGE FOR 1940 The Refrigerator that's Almost All Food Storage Space.

"Of course, darling," Iris said steadily, "there aren't any more bills now, Bart. And when you're home again, you'll be surprised at how I can run that budget book. I'm getting all practiced up now." He grinned then, "Wife," he said. Dimly, Iris un derstood. Dimly she realized that her days of being a bride, a fool- ish, spendthrift, extravagant bride were past. Dimly she realized that Bart understood. And peace came to ker soul. : ¥. (The End) By SADIE B. CHAMBERS ST. PATRICK'S.
