Part Vitamins Play
in Human Organism
In writing of the fate of vitamins
in the body, the editor of the Jour
nal of the American Medical asso
ciation says It has been
that they are stored up in the liver
The conclusion that vitamins are
highly essential to the welfare of
the living organism, he says, as so
many recent investigations seem to
indicate beyond peradventure, Is
based on the observation of nutri
tive failure and the appearance of
so-called deficiency diseases when
some of the food factors referred to
are missing from the diet
M It may almost be regarded as a
corollary,” he continues, “that, nn
der conditions of a deficit In vita
min-bearing products, the body It
self will become Impoverished In
these physiologically potent factors.
For several types of vitamins evi
dence is now available that this Is
actually the case. It has been found
by Steenbock, Sell and Nelson that
the liver is an Important center or
fat-soluble vitamin storage, varying
in Its content of this substance with
the ration fed. When the diet of
the animal becomes poor In vitamin
A, however, the liver becomes cor
respondingly depleted. The deple
tion of the same organ In vitamin
B when the animal Is deprived of an
adequate supply of this factor has
been demonstrated by Osborne and
Mendel!."
Vicar Shied at Sight
of First Locomotive
A very small locomotive, said to
be the first ever constructed, is pre
served in London. It was built by
I the famous engineer, Murdoch, and
Is 14 Inches high and 19 inches long.
It has two driving wheels and a
front steering wheel fitted with a
tiller handle.
This locomotive ran trials at Red
ruth In 1784. The first experiment
was in Murdoch’s own house, and
then It was tried on the road, when,
according to all accounts, it out
paced the Inventor.
One night Murdoch went out with
his locomotive to an avenue leading
to the church about a mile from the
town. The engine stnrted off and
the Inventor went after It. Soon
distant shouts of terror were heard.
When he came up to his machine he
found the vicar in great fear of the
hissing, spitting little demon.
At this time Murdoch was in the
employ of the firm of Boulton &
Watt, and when they heard of Mur- the
experiments they feared that
doch’s energies might be distracted
from the business of stationary en
gines. They persuaded him to drop
the project and he never took up the
subject again.
Her Awful Mistake
Tim had met with the misfortune
ot falling from the fourteenth floor
Df the skyscraper on which he was

His fellow workmen picked up
the remains and started with them

Terry thumped on the Malone

1 Are you the Widow Malone,
thin?” he asked.
"And I am not,” she answered.
“I’m Mrs. Malone, but not widow. »>
“And are ye not?" demanded the

me that and look at what the byes

Legends of Gods tend
Goddesses in Hawaii
Near the city of Hilo, on the la
land of Hawaii, are the locally cele
brated Rainbow falls, around which
many legends center, aays the De
troit News. One la that the goddess
Hina lived underneath the falls In a
cave and that the dragon Knnani oo
tried to drown her by throwing up
a dam below the falls. She called
for air to her son Maul, who at the
time was trying to lasso the sun at
a distant point because of the com
plaint by the natives of the short
ness of the summer season. The
fable has it that the son In his
canoe crossed the ocean from a
near-by Island in two strobes and
chased the dragon to what is known
as the “Bolling Pots,” where he
threw red-hot stones Into the water,
scalding the monster and finally
killed him.
The Naha stone, one of the his
torical relies of the Hawaiian Is
lands, Is found on the grounds of
the Hilo public library. An old
prophecy concerning the Naha
stone was that he who could move
It would be king of the island of
Hawaii, but that to him who could
overturn It would be given sov
ereignty over nil the Islands In the
group. Kamehumeha the Great,
who finally conquered all the other
Islands, visited the island in his
youth to test the efficiency of the
prophecy, and, having succeeded In
turning the stone, was so inspired
that he entered upon the career
which ended in the union of all the
Hawaiian islands under his control.
Native Hawaiians put full faith in
the story as having been handed
down to them from generations to
the days of Kamehameha.
Dried Rice Fatal to
One Household Pest
Whence do all the beetles, ants
and flies come that swarm about
the house, and particularly In the
kitchen and larder? And what Is
the best way to get rid of them?
These two questions are always
very much in the minds of house
holders.
The first Is not easy to answer^
The Intrusiveness of beetles and
cockroaches is something uncanny.
They are found down deep mines,
and they appear In new ships the
moment steam Is raised. Wherever
there is a moist heat they come
quickly.
The entry of ants into a honse is
often traceable to some opening
near the ground, such as a ventila
tor. Moths come in through the
open windows after the lamps are
lighted. Windows closed or guard
ed by mosquito netting after light
ing up time should keep them out.
The ant Is, of course, intelligent.
But ground rice, it is said, finds his
weakness. Sprinkle the rice in his
track, and he will eat it grejedlly.
Then it swells within him and kills
him. But the rice must not be
thrown down on a wet floor or It
will swell before he eats It, and he
will come to no harm.
English Law a Paradox
One may be fined for stopping a
dog fight or not stopping a dog
fight. But the post office can
record something even better, the
Manchester Guardian relates. At a
seaside town a man walked into a
post office followed by a huge dog.
A woman was already at the public
counter, and she also had a dog.
The two dogs began to fight.
The man did not attempt to In
terfere. He appealed to the girl
assistant, who was on-thsAsefe side
of the counter, to come over and
part the combatants. She declined,
very naturally. Eventually the tur
moil ceased, and then, the dog own
er lodged a complaint with the post
master that his subordinate had per
mitted confusion In the office and
upset the public.
Famous Roman Monument
Trajan’s column Is a superb mar
ble column In Trajan’s forum at
Rome, erected In 114 A. D., by the
senate and the Roman people, to
commemorate the victories of Em
peror Trajan (08-117 A. D.) over
the. Dacians, the Kansas City Times
tells us. It is 132 feet high and
about 12 feet In diameter, and is
constructed of 34 blocks of Carrara
marble, adorned with sculptures In
bas-relief. The summit, which Is
reached by a spiral staircase of 185
steps, was originally surmounted by
a colossal gilded statue of the em
peror; but this, having fallen to
the ground, was replaced by Pope
Sixtus V In the Sixteenth century
with one of St. Peter, 11 feet high.
The asheK of Trajan rest beneath
this column.
Financial or Otherwise?
The tongues of the gossips were
busy in the suburban town, over
the latest marriage. “Have you seen
the bride?” asked one. Has her
husband any money?”
“I don’t know about that, I* re
plied the other with some reluct
ance, ‘you know he didn’t live
here.
«* Well," said the first speaker,
<* you know she said she never
would marry a poor man. ■
• i i know, my dear, but she hasn’t
been married a month, yet every
body is saying, ‘poor man.’ ”

He Landed a Big
Order
By JUSTIN WENTWOOD
“The trouble, Mr. Higgins?” rs
pealed Snodgrass* the head of the
firm, thoughtfully “Well, since you
ask me, tbqpreason why I am dis
charging you is that you don’t pos
sess the qualifications for a sales
man. lie broke off as Jones, tbe
star salesman, entered his office.
Well?" he demanded la sup
pressed excitement.
“Couldn’t land him. He’S still
got that grouch against our firm
ou account of that misunderstand
ing. Old Greyson wanted ten thou
sand dollars’ worth of stuff, and
he’s going to place his order with
the Phoenix people.”
l| God!” groaned Snodgrass. “That
order would Just about have set us
up. too. »» He turned to Higgins
crisply. “Sorry you can’t stay with
us, Higgins,’ he said. “Hope you’ll
have luck with your next place.
Take my advice and be more
dependent.”
Higgins, discharged, went sadly
out. He was only a boy. He had
Reen a brilliant future as a sales
man with the Snodgrass people—
and then there was a certain
girl, . . . The trouble was, he
lacked the assurance of the other
salesmen, who came la, flung their
hats on Snodgrass’ desk, and made
themselves at home in the place.
He lacked nerve. All the people he
went to see treated him disdain
fully.
Suddenly a thought came to him.
Why shouldn’t he see old Greyson
and try to secure that order? If
he did that his future was made.
And he knew that he had all tbe
qualifications of a successful sales
man burled away in him,
there was Effle. . . . Suddenly
he found himself on his way to the
hotel where Greyson was patting
up on nts visit to tbe city,
Mr. Greyson would be down In
a moment Higgins waited In
trepidation. At last the old man
appeared, eyeing him suspiciously.
Well? Are you a representative of
Phoenix people? I telephoned them
I couldn’t see their man till—"
“No, I’m from Snodgrass—"
“Don’t want to hear you. 1
turned one of yonr men down cold
this morning. Mr. Snodgrass treat
ed me with gross discourtesy over
‘You’re right, Mr. Greyson. He
isn’t long on manners, but he puts
out good stuff.”
Young man, tou go back and
tell him It’s no use sending me
any more of his men. When 1
turned down that fellow this morn
ing I—”
happily. “Can’t go back,” said H&glns un
“He’s fired me.”
“Fired you? Dam him, what did
he want to do that for?” Greyson
demanded.
“Said I hadn’t enough nerve ot
Independence or something, so 1
wanted to show him I had bj
tackling you. Betides, I honestly
do want to succeed, and I know I’ve
got the making of a successful
salesman—’’
You have, you’ve got the person
ality. But that’s neither here not
there. Mr. Snodgrass treated mi
with gross—”
Yes, but can’t yon let bygones
be bygones r asked Higgins. “Sup
pose he did. It’s the quality of th«
goods that counts. Now, our good!
beat those that any other firm in
the country can put out at the price
and—”
<< Young man, you go back to Snod
grass and tell him with my com
pliments, that he’s a bigger foot thaa
I thought him.”
“I certainly will deliver that
message,” said Higgins recklessly.
“Because you have got nerve
But as for that order, my answer is
no.”
"Now, see hero—”
“I tell you no I” shouted old Grey
son. "When I say no I mean no.
That order goes to tho Phoenls
company. Get out of here and don’t
pester me! I’ve never changed my
mind yet, and my answer Is no.”
Snodgrass found Higgins seated
In his stenographer’s chair, with hli
feet cocked up on his own chair.
He stared at this apparition. Hig
gins was also smoking s perfectc
out of Snodgrass’ box. 8nodgrast
began to boil.
“I’ve told the cashier you’re
starting me at a hundred plus com
mission,’’ said Higgins.
“Have you gone road?" yelled
Snodgrass.
“No, Mr. Snodgrass. I’ve bees
to see Mr. Greyson, and be told me
to tell you you’re a bigger fool than
he thought you, discharging me, be
cause I’ve got all the nerve that’s
necessary. Anyway, I’ve landed
that order! »»
