PAGE FOUR WMI SHOE SOLD FHOM AUCTION BLOCK Search of Old Records Reveals Interesting Facts in History of Historic Institution MACON, Jan. 28.—How a college which now needs one million dollars to build and endow a new plant adequate to care for the growing educational demand being made up on it was once sold at auction by the sheriff because of lack of support has been revealed through a study of old records of Wesleyan College here. The auction occurred inj 1844, j five years after the college ;wud ' opened. Financial support for I such a novel enterprise as provid' ; ing a college education for women had proved insufficient and al though students were plentiful enough the institution found itself without funds to carry on its work Then the sheriff stepped in and i sold the collegA from the auction block. Fortunately for the future of the college, the property was bought by a little, group of men whose in terest in higher education had been aroused and they turned it over to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

In striking contrast to ahese early years of struggle to secure general recognition of the value of provid ling college education for women is the present day situation in which I the problem is to keep abreast of the popular demand. Wesleyan College has completely outgrown its old buildings and grounds, necessi tating the million dollar campaign which was recently announced by President W. F. Quillian.

Culture BERNARR MACFADDEN The diet for old age shopld be chiefly vegetarian. The anjmal foods that are consumed should oe of the easily digestible form. Milk and eggs while ideal foods for he young, are also, because of their easily digestible form and, freedom from harmful elements ideal foods for any age. After a severe illness, when a great amount of bodily tissue has been destroyed large amounts of milk, or eggs, may tie advantageously used for the quick repair of the tissues. Because of this fact they are popularly re garded as invalid foods. An old man, however, is not an in'valid. His digestive powers may have been weakened by life-long abuse, and hence special care of the diet may be necessary. But such a condition does not require that bodily tissues be quickly rebuilt, as in the case of convalescence from disease; hence what is suitable in ' the one case is not suitable in the other. The easily digested protein foods are, therefore to bo used by the old in moderate quantity 7 only. , Neither should the otd partake heavily of the fat meals though for somewhat different Reasons. Fat is the most concentrated form of food and the meat fats of high melting point require the strong est digestive powers. One of the most frequent digestive troubles in advanced years is the failure jof the digestion of heavy meat fats. Here again we should follow Nature's suggestion. The need for ' largo quantities and concentrated forms of energy-producing food being decreased, Nature gives us the hint by decreasing our powers of digesting heavy fats. But all fats should not be eli minated from the diet. The food chemists formerly told us that fyts served the same purpose in the I body as starches and sugars. This i view they have recently been : obliged to change. The experience of the Germans with fat starvation has clearly indicated that starch and sugar cannot replace fats in the diet While the chief purpose of fats is to produce heat and muscular energy, we now know that they | serve other needs as well. This is particularly true of the lighter fats, as * bbtter. Careful expori menta tion has recently shown that but ter fat contains essential food el ements which cannot be supplied by the manufactured substitutes. It is estimated more than 300 different languages are spoken throughout the world.

LV (Continued) He pushed her back Into hej chair, and resumed his own, "Would you like to smoke?” he asked. • "Yes.” She looked at him with, bitter eyes, but she had recaptured her threatened composure, rile re garded her with admiration, bitt they smoked in silence for several moments. Then he spoke again. “You remember Elka Zsaky, I suppose? She was several years older than you and one of tha dames galantes of her day. Sha ! has taken the treatment and looks I many years younger, at least, than | when she was a padnted old hag i with a red wig. She is still forced to employ artifice, but she has lov ers again, and that is all she did it for. Vienna is highly amused. No doubt all women of her sort will take it for no other purpose. But many of the intellectual women of Europe are taking it, too —and with,tfie sole purpose of reinvigo rating their mental faculties and recapturing the physical endur ance necessary to their work.

"And thought of women, of course.” "Probably ■not.” He waved bls hand negligently. "But incidem tally. That is where men hav<» the supreme advantage of women. The woman is an incident in their lives, even when sincerely in love. And it these men indulge occasion ally in the pleasures of youth, or even marry younr wives, ihe world will not be interested. But with women, who rem-w their youth and return to its follies. it will be quite another matter. If they are not made the therm- of obsc.ene lam poons they -nay count timuisalves fortunate.

But so it is today. Personally, no doubt, you would be indifferent, for you have a con temptuously independent mind, j But your career and your useful- j ness would be at an end." "And suppose lam quite indiffer- • ent to that?” <• "Ah. but you are not. 1 will not ! say that I have killed Mary Ogden I during this painful hour, for it is impossible to kill the dead, but I have exorcised her ghost.

And you will marry him as Mary Zattiany, with out an illusion left in that clear I brain of yours—from which the I mists have been blown by the cold | wind of truth. And in a year—if I yon can stand self-contempt and | ineffable ennui so long—you will I leave him, resume, your present ; name —the name by which Europe knows you—and return to us. But it may be too late. Vienna would still be laughing. The Viennese are a light-hearted race, and a lax, but when they laugh they cease to take seriously the subject of that good natured amusement. . . . It is not aesthetic, you know. It is not aesthetic. Are you really quite ! iriUffere-nt, Marie?” She shrugged and rose. “It must | be time for luncheon,” she said. "It i will no doubt be horrible, but at | 1. ast we can have it in here. The I public dining room would be im possible. I will find Mr. Dinwid dle and ask hiip to order it.” ’ LVI When the men returned from their fishing trip at six o'clock they saw several of the women on the lake, but there was no one In the living room. Clavering tapped at Mr. Dinwiddie’s door, but as there was no answer, concluded j that he and. Mary had not yet re- | turned from Huntersville. He was | too desirous of a bath and clean , clothes, however, to fee! more than ' a fleeting disappointment, and it i was not until his return to his j room that he saw a letter lying on ; the table. It was addressed in Mary’s hand- i writing, and he stared at it in as 'tofl<«hment fdh"’*dfceond, then tore it open. It. was dated "Hunters ville, Monday afternoon," and it read: MONDAY AFTERNOdM JANUARY 28 J9L4 Mr. and Mrs. R. £. Israel visited Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Israel recently.

In deed, dear Lee, I wish this need not have happened, but at least we had three days. M.” ClaVerFtig read this letter twice, hardly comprehending its purport. She made no mention of Judge Trent. The whole thing was am biguous, curt. A full explanation was his right; moreover, it was the reverse of a love letter.

Trent telegraphed me yes terday that Hohenhauer was arriv ing at Huntersville last night and would come up here in the morn ing to see Mary. He said the mat ter was most important. I went so Mary's room after yon came in from the lake and showed her the message. She was extremely an noyed and said at first that she wouldn’t see him. But I pointed out that she couldn't possibly avoid it. Then she said he shouldn’t come up here, and she was very emphatic about it. The only thine to do was to take her down. Os course you will be reasonable and see there was nothing else to be done." “What did that infernal black guard want of her? And why did she go off with him?” “She didn’t go off with him. She hired a car directly after lunch In tending to drive as far as Saratoga and take a train from there. She left Hohenhauer to cool his heels until it was time to take a local for the Adirondack Express. She could easily have taken him along, but 1 think she was meting, out punishment'." "Punishment?" “Yes. They had a private con ference for nearly two hours, and, whatever happened, it put her in. an infernally bad humor. She scarcely opened her mouth during luncheon, and as Mary is a woman of the world, used to concealing, her feelings. I thought It highly sig nificant. She looked as if she were in a secret frozen rage. Hohen hauer, however, was quite himself, and the meal—corned beef and cabbage!—went off very well.” “What did he want of her?” •"Of that I haven’t the vaguest idea. Something ; nK>mentous, be yond a doubt. If T may hazard a guess, It has something to do with this special mission of his, and it is quite possible that he has asked her to go to Washington—insisted upon it —appealing to her love of Austria. I confess I don't see what she can accomplish there, for she 'never did have any Washington confections —,of course she coild get letters from Trent- and trust to her personal power and prestige. But let me tell you that she didn't do it to please him. She looked as if she hated him.” (To Be Continued)
