Martha had brought in lupcheon on a | tray and had fretted and fumed over | "her child losing all her good looks sitting over a desk." As in a dream, Elizabeth heard the ring at the door and a familiar volce--but it was not urtil she was confronted by Jack him- self, that she remembered he was due. | "A fife way to keep an engagement!

Tom Harrison's recovery was very rapid after receiving the gnew "cure," on Friday afternoon.

Many attacks of illness would be prevented if we gave our foods the proper attention. Correct eating hab- its will obliterate doctor bills and do | more toward promoting longevity. { Therefore the subject of eating should be given our most careful attention. We all need foods containing pro- | teln, such as meat, eggs, cheese, beans, | milk, etc Adults need protein to re- | store used tissue ln working, living and breathing. quire it to furnish thém with bone and muscle tissue. At least one-fifth of the meal should. consist of protein foods. Carbohydrates are very essential. These are found in starchy vegetables, such as potatoes and cereals, sugar, honey or fresh fruits. Carbohydrates furnish energy and heat to the body and should be about two-fifths of the meal. Fats also give heat and energy to the body. Food containing fats are butter, salad olls, milk, nuts, oleomar- garine, ete. Mineral foods are needed to Strengthen the bone, teeth, hair and | balls. Foods that are strong in min- erals are the yolks of eggs. meat. | rolled oats, fruits and vegetables. They | keep body processes in order. The | body also requires a liberal amount | of good drinking water, which mest of | us neglect. . | A well-balanced meal should | of 'seme food from each class. Don't | try to balance each meal. but make an | effort to balance your meals for each | day. --~Thrift Magazine. | | | oo Autograph Collecting Old. Emmett Campbell Hall writes in the New York Evening Post that auto- graph collecting is of very ancient origin, and the first authentic collector Was no less illustrious a person than Cicero, who had a fine collection, of which he spoke with gratification. Pliny had a valuable collection, and he mentions one Pempelus Secundus, who had a much finer one, including autegraphs of Cicero, Augustus, Vir- gil and Gracchl. Then came the bar- barians, and nothing more is heard of autograph collecting until the be- ginning of the Sixteenth century, when, about the year 1507, a Bohe: mian nobleman began keeping a boek in which he recorded his hunting ex- ploits, and to which are added the an- tographs of the friends and guests who participated with him In the | chase, Jewels Used in Industries. Jewels are usually thought of as or- namental, but in one form they are em- ployed purely utilitarian. As bear ings for watches and other small ma- chines they are. no less valuable than when they grace a ball dress or are strung on a necklace. Of course, the mest costly gems are not thus used, the specimens employed being small, Watch manufacturers of the United States use aonually several millions of jewels, and makers of certain classes of instruments also make use of jewels in large quantities. There is, in fact, a steady increase in the number of jeweled bearings applied by instrument-makers to such devices as recording and other electrical meters, gauges, etc. - - 3 broken branches and fallen men and natfons are bettered and improved by trial and refined. out of broken hopes and blighted expecta- tions. \ The slow and sure overtake the swift, i. know | | Even In the dim light in the taxi Jack gave Elizabeth a searching | irowing children re- | cotfelat | 'HE LOVES THE BIRDS | JACK MINER 1S A UNIQUE CANA- DIAN PERSONALITY. Story of the Man Whose Sanctuary For His Winged Friends Has Becdme Famous In Every Part of the Continent--Lives in Bunga. low Near Kingsville. It's 'a dificult task to define in words so unusual a personality as Jack Miner. To realize the man who hear him speak. Then, by turns, he |- makes you laugh with his droll hum- or and inipresses you with his tre- mendous sincerity. He grips your | attention without seeming to try. He is 'too keenly interested in his mes- | sage to feel concerned, either about his audience or about himself. The story of Jack Miner has been | told and re-told till it is fatniliar to | most Canadians. But it will bear re- telling. - Jack Miner of to-day is a big, up- | standing man of §6--an out-of-doors man, essentially, with .the out-of- | doors habits of hard working land | clear thinking. As a boy he came to | Essex County, Ont. The "snarl of us ten children," ds he aptly deseribed | the Miner family, got little education, | and went to work 'early. "A dollar | biil looked like a horse blanket" ia those days; so Jack and & favorite brother hunted for the market. They ; became wizards of the gun. | Meanwhile, Jack grew up, raised a family, and sent them in due course | to' the backwoods Sunday school. They Induced their father to attend. { He could neither read nor write. His | little folks taught him. He in turn | taught Sunday school, quit shooting for the market--and then came those marvelous activities that have made | Jack Miner known throughout this | continent. | The wild geese and wild ducks had | kno®n him as an enemy. Now came | the thought: "Surely they would | know. 3 friend if they had one!" So | Jick Miner set himself to make [friends with the wild things. | "Birds are wild because they have {to be, and men are wild because | they want to be," is a characteristic | bit of Miner philosophy. | Jack's campaign of pacification was | infinitely patient. First, a bird or | two ventured upon his ponds, and | nibbled his tempting corncobs. Next | Season there came a large company. | 80 bird interest grew from year to year. Now in March and April every year the wild geese congregate by hundreds and thousands. The good word has gone forth to the far dis- | tances of North Carolina, Saskatche- | wan 'and Hudson Bay that this one | 8pot in America is dedicated to the | wild goose. And the geese under- | stand. | It took four years to induce: the | birds to call. Eight birds constituted | the first 'visitors. Last year Jack Miner's feathered friends required 1,600 bushels of corn for their menu at this half-way house between North Carolina and Hudson Bay. | ~The same birds come back. Jack Miner has proved that. Among the thousands of birds that gather every ig hy the famous goose pond near Kingsville are many wearing aluminum '"'anklets," with which Jack has decorated them in previous years x | Many such anklets have been rg i apart as the Gulf of Mexico and Baf- |fin's Bay. As for the ducks, he has {tags returned from 23 differnt [states and provinces, the farffight | south from Guydan, Louisiana, 'afid {the span of territory east and west | strete | Englefield, Sask. Four million s | miles of territory--yet, 'ye | year, the birds come back same spot. ' They know. = It's an Interesting sight to {Jack Miner strolling throw; eh a flock {ot six hundred or more-wild geese, {the shyest.birds.alve. ie talks to | them in their own language--he has | mastered several words in the goose ed to Jack Miner from points as far i after: this | vocabulary--and bosses them about | 8 though they were a flock of barn- {yard ducks. The birds seem to know {that they are safe from the hunter {and that, backing up Jack Miper's efforts, the Dominion Government has made this spot a sanctuary for them. There is another story told by a man who, motored down to Kingsville once with Jack Miner. Away off against the sky hdvered a flock of wild geese. "Stop," commanded Min- er, suddenly. birds." He gave a peculiar call; and the distant bird came volplaning down in answer. That is how intimately Jack Miner knows the birds, and how intimately the birds know Jack Miner, Years before Jack Miner ever thought of putting his story on paper be was widely known as a lecturer. He bas told his story of the birds bears all sorts of audiences except unin- terested or indifferent ones. No audi- ence, hearing Jack Miner, ean long remain in that state of mind. "Farmer and Drain Tile Mer- chant," is the modest fashion in which Jack Miner's letter-heads style him. There was a time when the fate of the tile-yard hung in the bal- ance, and the future looked black for the drain tile merchant. That, how- ever, 1s a story apart from Jack and his birds, and must be left for an- other time. = Miner believes in getting near to nature. Nature, as typefied by primeval forest, was long ago swept away from the Kingsville country- side. But at intervals betwixt his etu- dies of the wild goose, the wild duck, the barn swallow, and the rest of them, he has planted thousands of trees. Years ago he planted a grove of maples. To-day they surround a Robinson Crusoe bungalow where, isolated as on a deserted isle, he can carry on his work) undisturbed. ---------------- Dyeing and mining are Britain's oldest industries. . - What gathering flowers ina wood, Is to children, that shopping large towns is to women.
