THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1931 Beth Shannon, & Pretty young stenographer, "In love with her employer, flip Dane. It lan't a one oad ex or reas abou Just is, in spite of the fact that Phil gn another world socially and is in. terested in a girl of that world, Caroline Gibbons. Just now Beth's chief worry is about her invalid mother, widowed and , entirely dependent on Beth for support, The doctor has said that Mrs. Shannon should go away--it is January in N w York =and Beth Is at her 'wit's end She has promised to tell Araocld Stone, an older man in the office, very friendly to Beth and her sole means of making eontracts outside of her work and her shabby home, what the doutor sald of her mother's condition. INSTALLMENT NO. XXIV. Good News! Beth got through that evening, after the ultimatum Dr, Grey sad issued, creditably enough. The knowledge that her mother was worse suffused a new tenderness into the little things she could do lor Mrs. Shannon's comfort. She re Arranged the bedding, placed the bedlight more conveniently, then went to the kitchen to get her me- thes's supper. The ice box furnish. ed #othing attractive for an favalid and Beth recklessly went down to the store to buy things that would tempt her mother's appetite. An hour later she carried, in a supper tray that attracted even Mrs. Shannon's listless interest. A iand - chop, broiled to just the right turn, a baked potato oozing butter, a tender heart of lettuce, and an or- ange sliced thin and sprinkled with. cocoanut for dessert. Beth had bought a rosebud and stuck it in a little vase bought at the tem cent store to garnish the tray and she felt rewarded for what really was extravagance by the way Mrs. Shun. non smiled and attacked her sup- per with relish. " didn't you pring your sup. per in, too?" she asked Beth, "We could have eaten together." "Oh, I was famished. T simply couldn't wait," Beth replied, *'I haa imine while T was getting yours bed, but 1 hope she'll sleep until noon. She often does when she's feeling very unwell" = "What did the doctor tell you?" "Beth looked down at the hand- kerchief she was twisting in her band. She mustn't ery, "He sald she ought to go away to a warmer climate," Beth massaged' tinally in a choked tone. "And you don't see how you can send her," Arnold tinished sympath- etfeally. "No, I don't." "1 won't take money from yon, even for mother," Beth flashed with something of her old spirit. "Not so fast," he said good hu- moredly, "I'm not offering you any. I know you wouldn't take it, a' though I think it's false pride on your part when I could easily af. ford to send your mother away for you. But have got a plan, Beth-- come into my private office and let me tell you about it. Don't come now, we've both got early morning work to finish. Come in about 10, and we'll talk it over." Arnold's Plan So at 10 o'clock, Beth went in, reluctantly, determined to rosist any offer of what she felt would be charity if Arnold wanted to ad- vance the necessary money himself, "Ever hear of banks, Beth?" he asked, smiling at her and motion. ing her to a chair, . "Or course, I have," she answer- ed wondering, "I have a savings account in one myself." "Well, did it ever occur to you that a bank's business is loaning money? Renting it, in fact, at a fix- ed rate of interest to people who need the use of it?" "l didn't suppose they'd lrim money to any one like me," Btn said slowly. "They will if you can get some responsible person to sign your note with you, Now the simplest thing would be for me to loan you, say. $500, but you wouldn't like that. The next. best thing is for you to borrow that amount and pay it back in weekly installments. Sup- pose you borrow $500 and take two years to pay it back. They take out ready." "f Miss George" This was true enough as far as it went. Beth had eaten dry bread and store cheese and an apple while she | got her mother's tray ready, ex- freme and unnecessary self-denial, 'but.it made her feel better in her ®d [present state of mind to make some {small, tangible sacrifice. She felt that she had been selfish lately, had {meglected her mother, and indulged 'herself unduly. When Mrs. Shannon had finished |her supper Beth brought in a new magazine, purchased in this same imood of extravagance and sald, "How would yon ltke me to read aloud to you, mo'jer?" "I'd love It. ry but it's nice to have you home with me this way, Beth, T miss George, you know, he came in every day to see me, even 'when you were out." Beth's heart smote her again, She had sent George away, she had spent countless evenings out with Arnold, or busy with rehearsing for the play. And Mrs. Shannon had never complained. When she had finished the short story she had selected Mrs. Shan- non said, "I think - your reading aloud has Improved wonds-~fu'ly, Beth. 1 suppose it's the reenlt of taking part in that nlav, Yon speal so much more clear'r. and read with so much moresexnire«<fon now, 1'd like you to take part in anoth- or play if they ask you.

Beth nodded. hoping she conld $60 interest in advance and give { rou the rest, $440, You pav them $5 out of your salary each week {it's as simple as that, Beth, And you can pay it bac kfaster if vou like" Beth drew a long breath. "Na you | really think they would?" she ask- "Nothing like finding out. Let's go out and have some lunch this noon and go over there and talk to the man in charge of loans. Mav. pe that will convince you."

While fully realizing she was "skating on very thin jee," Mra. White de- nied the existence of the ideal man, nd proceeded to explain some of the seeming idiosynecracies of the "mighty male." The wearing, for instance, of shabby old suits, and the inordinate fondness for has been hats and old and disreputable mon trait in the male sex. Man, it was stated, was at his best when in love, and the wonders of the working of his heart was com. pared to the every.day street car --there is always room for one more. Man, it was voiced, is in reality a grown-up boy, and so he remains to the end. The difference between men and woman lay in the fact, the speaker remarked, that to know one man is to know all, but no man has yet been able to un. derstand one woman thoroughly. With all the whys and wherefores of the male problem weighed, the speaker concluded that women did not wish for a change, and she de. fined a husband as *"'a friend who knows all about us, and likes us anyhow." At the close of the class enter- tainment Mrs, Bragg was present. ed with a bouquet of flowers, Reports of the various delegates were read at the business meeting held prior to the entertainment. Mrs. Owen Rede Campbell, the president, being in the chair, Mrs. S. Raymond, representing the child welfare committee, thanked the members for 900 pounds of tinfoil for the Children's Memorial Hos. pital. Mrs. John Scott reported for the Canadian Prisoners' Welfare. A letter to be sent from the Club to the Marchioness of Aberdeen and Temair, who is honorary presi- dent 'of .the club, congratulating her on being honored by His Ma. jesty King George, who conferred upon her the O.B.E,, was read by Mrs. Owen.

The worst troubles come to an end sometime, and then they don't matter at all. The thing to do is to look forward to that end. When Nimblehcels landed with a splash in a pall of milk in Farmer Brown's kitchen, because he had jumped without looking to see where he was go- ing, he certainly was in trouble. He was in a great deal of trouble. Never had he been in worse trouble. Anyway this is what he thought at the time. Really it wasn't quite so bad as he thought, for rescue was close at hand. But Nimbleheels didn't know this. He choked and strangled and struggled frantically and of course couldn't climb up the sides of the pail. Of course, he never before had had a milk bath and he didn't know what to make of this strange kind of water, for that is what he supposed it to be. Then Farmer Brown's boy lifted him out. For a minute Nimble- heels struggled and tried to bite. But he was terribly frightened and quite tired out, for he was half drowned. So after a few feeble efforts to escape he became quiet. With a soft cloth Farmer Brown's hoy gently wiped Nimble- heels off and dried him as best he could, Then he put him in a box with fine wire screen over it and in it a bed of soft cotton. The box he placed close to the stove. Mo- ther Brown was still quite upset "Take that Mouse out of the house at onde," sald she. "He had made trouble enough. And there is a whole pail of milk spoiled and gone to waste. My land, such a mess!'

Wisely Bragg, staged a mock clth luncheon with toasts, speakers from presumably out.of- town, and the usual votes of thank, with the following members tak. ing part: Mrs. R. R. White, presi. dent; Mrs, C. W. Danks, convener: Mrs, W. Doig Robb, toastmaker; Mre. William Owen and Mrs, Bid. ney White speakers from out-of- town; Mrs,' Ernest Kelsey, Mrs. Guy LePrafk, and Mrs. E. Brooks. Mrs. Kelsey opened the program with a recitation 'The New Duck- ing" by Alfred Noyes, which was followed by a toast, "The Ideal Woman." Mre. Williams Owen re- plied ag hailing from Vancouver. The ideal woman, she remarked, was better left on her lofty ped. estal, and she took as her model the woman of today. Quoting from a statement that the modern Wo. man was losing her individually, that her clothes were cut on one pattern, that her foods were of 3 uniform choice, and that her home was one of the apartment style, sterotyped and characterless, the speaker went on to show how, In spite of what might or might not be true in this instance, the mod ern woman had certainly advanced. RULES MUST GUIDE © ALL PENSION CASES { Justice Hyndman Tells of; Duties of Tribunal on Appeals Ottawa, Feb. .6--The pension ap- peal court must be guided by certain well settled fundamental rules of law, evidence and justice, notwithstanding that it may not be bound by any purely technical rules of evidence or procedure to the extent of ordin- ary courts, declared Mr. Justice Hyndman, president of that body, which opened in Ottawa Monday. Outlining what he conceived the duties of the court to be, Mr. Justice Hyndman declared that, in his opin- ion, proof or evidence submitted to the court must be of the samc gen eral nature as required in a court of law as in damage action, for injuries or death. Proof Must Be Positive "The method of proof might justi- fiably be more elastic, but the prool must be positive and not left to mere conjecture," His Lordship went on. "It may happen that on a considera- tion of the whole ease the evidence may preponderate as against the ap- plicant. But whilst we would, in that case, fail in a court of law, it was intended by Parliament that, not- withstanding the weight of evidence is against him, the applicant should succeed, This is ded that a prima facle case at least is established or e out in the first place and on a ce of the two whete a real and substantial, but not a mere fantastic doubt, in his favor, is left on the minds of the tribunal or court."

Smelt fishing is done through holes in the jce and when the winds broke off some fifteen mi- les of ice near the mouth of the Mir- amichi River all the smelt gear that was on it was carried out to sea. Against hazards of this kind the fish- ermen can have no insurance and a few spells of bad weather may cut disastrously his season's return from any fishery. PICK THE GOOD ONES This is the time of the year when the value of trapnest records for hens has its greatest value. In selecting birds for breeding pens George Robertson, Poultry Husbandman at the Central Kx. perimental Farm, Ottawa, advises that vigour is the outstanding qualification to watch for in hens. The birds which pay nowadays are only those having sufficient stam. ina to stand up to heavy egg pro- duction, Size, body type, are important, The trapnest volume and size of eggs records Is a useful guide In the selection of birds of the right type. Equal care should be taken in the selection of the male bird, which should be strong and vigor. ous and preferably the progeny of a dam of proven production abil. ity. He should be selected carefully for quality, and If he is the right type he will look It. Priest Injured Ringstton,--Rev, Father J. J.

Then, as nothing more happened to frighten him and as he began to feel rather uncomfortable from the milk bath, he began to make his toilet. Farmer Brown's Boy had done his best in wiping Nim- bleheels off, but what could he know of the proper way of taking care of a fur coat that had been thoroughly wet? So Nimbleheels set to work. His tongue was his towel. He licked and licked every part of himself that he eould reach. So intent on what he was doing did he be- come that he quite forgot where he was and didn't even. notice when Farmer Brown's Boy signal- led Mothor Brown to come where she could see him. He rubbed his face and head with his little front paws after he had carefully lick- ed them, just as you have seen a cat do. Finally he gave careful attention to that long tail. passing it through his mouth and going over it carefully with his tongue. At last he was through. He shook himself to settle his fur in place and then being very tired, curled up in his bed of cotton for a nap. It was a soft bed and he was very comfortable. His troubles were soon forgotten. He had had a terrible fright but that was past. There is no use 'thinking of frights that are past, you know. None of the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Mea- dows do. If they did there would be no happiness in life at all, for each one of them excepting the larger ones is dreadfully frighten- ed more than once every day of his life. (Copyright, 1931, T.

FISH ABUNDANT IN VITAMINS, IODINE Richer Than Many Other Foods in Elements Essential to Health Scientists fi out many interest- ing things and «nz important dis- covery which «c3t2ch has made in retent years s that fish contain ele: ments which aot only build strength but guard healt and contain them in larger amoua's than most other foods. For instance, \'iimin D, is abun. dant in fish but it is laghing in many otucr foodstufis. \danhia LU, rapert- ant in the diet foe everybody, 13 es: pecially impotiant in the dict of growing children because of it part 1a bone developiiint and the preven won fo bone delsvs. "The condition which results bit starvation ior this vitamin," says a noted North Ameri can physician «| research worker, "is generally designated as Rickets. It is not conauzd to the bones but affeets all tissues of the Lody , . + Bone defects," he adls, "are rate aniong children where fish forms a prominent articic of diet" and "Vit. amin D. is concained in very small amounts in any voods thuy far studi- ed, except in ine oils of fishes" Then, too, in addition to contin. ing Vitamin A. ur! Vitamin D,, fish are unusually gh in iodine cootent, especially sea fis'. while "most com- mon foods contain very little iodine." The importance of this fact from the health and dietary standpoint, course, is that study has determined that iodine is a preventive of such diseases as goitre, or, in the words of a prominent scientist, "foods contain- ing jodine have been of great heln in preventing and controlling goitre" and "the prevalence of goitre is, roughly, inversely proportional to the iodine content of food and drinking of water." Surveys have shown that guitre is less prevalent in coastal re- gions, where fish foods are frequently cn the table, than in areas where there is small consumption of fish. Vitamins A. and D. iodine, cal- ciym, which is necessary to the growth and strength of teeth and bones--these are among the elements which make fish foods so valuable to the human body. In many other foods these elements are lacking or, as has been said, they age present in much smaller amounts than in fish. Can- adian fish foods are available all the year round, moreover, fresh or froz- en or smoked or dried or pickled or canned, and since there are so many different varieties of fish and shellfish taken in Canadian waters, and fish foods may be prepared for the table in so many different tasty ways, they may be used frequently without mon- otony in the family menu.

"No, Drone 5 H," a White Leghorn owned by Wm. Whiting, of Port Kells, B.C, qualified as a. real champion egg layer. This bird, a beautiful speci- men of the breed, weighs just 5-2 pounds. From November 1, 1929, to October 30, 1930, she laid 29-9 dozen eggs which weighed 62 pounds, or just fen times her own weight. Her record is official in the fullest sense of the term. Dur. ing the entire period of the contest she was entirely out of the hands of her owner and under the com petent neutral supervision of the federal egg-laying contest.
