9 know, I know said Gaynor
wiftly. “And your wife—" She
roke off, aghast at her hideous
lunder.
“And my wife?” he prompted her.
Go on. What were you going to
ay about my wife?”
She tried to dissemble. “I—IX hear
ou may be married.” Oh, worse and
;orse. Was there ever a more humil-
iting situation.
“Well, I may. But where did you
ear about it?”
“Qh, nowhere particularly—just
umor.”
‘Really? Well, rumor is usually
jrong, but in this case, it is—or
ather, I hope it is true.”
She said with difficulty,
pbouldn’t it be true?”
«Because,” said Alan, “it all de-
ends on the lady. She may say no.
rou see, 1 haven't asked her yet.”
“Why
She nodded. “Yes, I know.”
He smiled suddenly. “Oh, you do,
lo you!”
She bit her lips. Another ghastly
jJunder! What was wrong with her,
nyway ?
4&1 ‘meant—evidently, since you
lidn’t know her answer, you hadn’t
sked her.” Oh, so stupid, so banal!
He had stopped smiling. He said,
‘But only because I've never had the
ourage.”
Ah, that was it after all!
«Or the opportunity.”
But those long, secluded afternoon
essions! Those languorous silver-
ummer nights.
“Or the slightest encouragement.”
What on earth had been wrong
vith Patricia’s famous technique ?
© «But I've got the courage and the
ypportunity now, and—and all I need
s just the least bit of encouragement
_the very least bit.” He was reach-
pg out his arms and glancing over
iis shoulder at the same time. “Gay-
wr! You sweet! Do it—quick!—do
t+ before that old lady looks up.”
And Gaynor did—quick enough at
‘he start, but so slow at the end that
vhen the old lady looked up, they
were still at it. The old lady was
scandalized. Kissing in a public
slace! In full view of everybody!
What next?
Alan was saying: “Oh, Gay, Gay—
f you knew what I've been through
‘hese past months! Desperately in
ove and never an opportunity of see-
ng you. All those day and nights I
spent hanging around on the off-
-hance of a glimpse of you. And
gou treating me as if I were a pub-
ic nuisance! Yes, you did! And the
way they treated you! Like some
jarned slavey. You—with your in-
-elligence, your beauty: 2
Gaynor said swiftly, brokenly, “Oh,
Alan, but I'm not pretty.”
He looked at her with a vast dark
astonishment. “Pretty! Of course
you're not pretty in the moving-pic-
ture way that Patricia is with her
absurd little poses, or the magazine-
cover way that Jerry is with her
impuduent nose and silly audacity.
You—you are lovely, Gay. Your hair
is like the copper beech in autumn,
and your eyes are like far-off stars
just at dusk, and your mouth—it was
your mouth I noticed first that morn-
in the woods—so very, very sweet
and sensitive, Gay. A man need look
no further than your mouth to know
2ll about you, Gaynor.”
“Alan, all this—you, you, me, what
you're saying—it’s not a dream, is
it?”
He said in a low passionate voice:
“So that is what they have succeed-
ed in doing to you.” She saw his
eyes harden, his mouth tighten cruel-
ly. “It’s been all I could do to keep
silent. I think yesterday I wanted to
strike—to hurt Patricia or Jerry, had
they been handy. And your mother.
That’s why I didn’t turn up last ev-
ening. After my thoughts of the
day, I could never again enter her
house until—until at least, you and
I--*
went out of his expression.
He said softly, irrelevantly, “They |
made a slave of you, Gaynor, but
from now on you shall be a queen,
and I, your slave.”
“Would you-all like tea now?” ask-
ed the dusky ambassador of the
kitchen. “It’s nearly fo’ o'clock.”
“My sainted aunt!” cried Alan
and jumped up. “Here you are, old
fellow. Now come along, Gay. We've
got to hurry.”
“Yes, Alan.”
“Don’t bother with your hair—just
get your gloves and bag.”
“Yes, Alan.”
«I can’t imagine what I was think-
ing of—to have forgotten. Look out
for that step!
» WYes, Alan.”
“We've just about time to make 1.”
“Make What, Alan?”
“Why, the municipal office before
it closes.”
She stopped, aghast. “Municipal
office! Oh, Alan, I can’t!”
They had reached the car. He
caught her arm and almost threw her
into. it.
“Not only can, but are!” he said
firmly. “You're not going back to
that house even to say good-by. You
can telephone from a drug store ana
buy a tooth-brush at the same time.”
“plan, I can’t—I simply can't!”
“Shut up and kiss me. There! Now
fix your hat—it’s all over one eye.”
Said Gaynor thrillingly: “Oh, Alan
—for my slave, how you do order me
about !” i
He forgot to take the gear out of
peutral. “Oh, Gaynor, my §weet—
do I really? And after all I've said
about Patricia and Jerry! Dearest,
you must break me of the habit.”
«Oh, to,” said Gay softly; “I—I
rather like it.’ She smiled tremulous-
ly at him. “I reckon, Alan it—it all
depends on who does it.”—Hearst's

WHY WE SHOULD EAT
MORE POTATOES.
Since Count Rumford, a New Eng-
land Yankee, soon after the close of
the American Revolution taught the
people of Bavaria to make potato
soup, the potato has steadily grown
in popularity in central European
countries. During the Great War, the
potato rendered the same service to
.Germany that corn did to this coun-
try. The per capita production of
potatoes in Germany before the War
was twenty-four bushels, whereas in
| this country we produce for each in-
|habitant scarcely four bushels per
annum.
In this country we have not yet
begun to appreciate the value of the
potato as an article of food. The
Amercians are essentially grain eat-
ers. There are many reasons for
this. The potato requires intensive
cultivation and much hand labor,
whereas cereals can be readily pro-
duced in enormous quantities by
the use of machinery alone. Cereals,
| particularly corn, wheat and oats
have been extensively exploited by
{great manufacturing companies, and
the American people, through the
medium of magazine and newspaper
‘advertising, have been educated in
Ithe use of cereals to such an extent
that ready-to-eat foods prepared
from wheat or corn have become
the conventional staples of the Amer-
{ican breakfast and fill a large
share of the space on grocers’
| shelves.
These breakfast foods have per-
formed a most useful service for the
‘American people by lessening the
consumption of butcher’s meat and
‘replacing to a large extent the indi-
gestible fried dishes of various sorts
which formerly constituted the Amer-
ican breakfast, and have no doubt
|peen a factor in the marked lower-
ing of the American death rate
‘which has occurred within the last
(few years. Nevertheless it must be
| admitted that while bread has for
ages enjoyed its deserved reputation
as the staff of life it is not altogeth-
‘er commendable as a chief source of
human nourishment. The profound
‘studies of our nutrient needs which
‘have been made in reecnt times by
numerous eminent investigators,
‘have shown that cereals possess cer-
‘tain characteristic qualities which
|render their too free use not only
"undesirable but a possible source of
serious systemic injury.
More than thirty years ago the
eminent Swiss biochemist. Professor
Bunge, called attention to the fact
that because of the great excess of
| phosphoric acid in cereals, their free
‘use tends to lessen the normal alka-
linity of the blood and tissue fluids,
thus working great injury, for noth-
ing is more important for good nu-
trition, resistance to disease, high
efficiency, endurance and longevity,
than the maintenance of a high
standard of blood alkalinity. When
the alkalinity is lowered by the
over-accumulation of acids in the
blood and tissue fluids, there is in-
creased susceptibility to colds, to in-
fluenza and to such maladies as pneu-
monia and other grave acute
diseases. ‘The chance of recovery
from an attack of infectious disease
such as typhoid fever or influenza is
greatly lessened when the blood alka-
linity is lowered. The chief reason
for this is that the blood is our chief
defense against the attacks of germs
which give rise to infectious dis-
eases. When the blood is invaded by
these enemies of life and health, cer-
tain of the blood cells, known as
leukocytes, attack the bacteria and
if successful destroy them. The
fighting ability of the blood cells in
their defensive battle depends upon
the state of the blood. When it is
‘normally alkaline the leukocytes are
"highly active and pursue and de-
stroy the invading bacteria with
i great vigor, but when the alkalinity
lof the blood is lowered by an exces-
{sive intake of unoxidizable acids
such as the phosphoric acids found
(in great excess in wheat,
corn and
other cereals, the fighting power of
the blood cells is diminished.
It is now believed by many eminent
|investigators that an excess of acids
circulating in the blood tends to cause
| premature hardening of the arteries, | 5
or arteriosclerosis, and in this way |

He broke off and the hardness Bright's disease and other degene-
| rative maladies.
Although the preponderance of
encourages the
acids in cereals was pointed out
‘many years ago by Bunge and other
, authorities, it is only within the last
| few years that their importance has
‘come to be appreciated by students
This has led to
‘an exhaustive study of foodstuffs
with special reference to their alka-
line and acid properties.
The character of a food is shown
by its ash. Food is body fuel and
when burned in the body leaves
a residue or ash the same as when
burned in the ordinary way. The
acids, or alkalies, which compose
‘this residue, are chiefly eliminat-
by the kidneys. When the ash
contains a preponderance of
acids, as in the case of cereals, the
effect of the food is to increase alka-
linity and in so doing to increase en-
durance and resistance to disease.
The ash of the potato is more
highly alkaline than that of most of
our common foodstuffs, containing
about ten times as much potash as
does the ash of fine flour bread. This
fact gives to the potato great im-
portance as a dietetic means of
| maintaining the alkalinity of the
blood and tissue fluids, which modern
science has shown to be so important.
A loss of alkalinity as great as the
difference between ordinary pipe wa-
ter and distilled water, will cause in-
stant death. :
Tt is not to be understood, of
course, that cereal foods should be
altogether avoided as unwWholesome.
They become injurious only ‘when
too freely used and made to consti-
tute the major part of the diet, and
especially when used in conjunction
with meats or eggs. It is only nec-
essary to bear in mind that cereals
of all sorts are acidifying foods and
‘to combine with them other foods in
‘which the alkalies predominate.
even a hundred times more acid
Alksalies are found in large excess
in the ash of fruits and vegetables of
all sorts, but the potato is particular-
ly rich in alkaline elements and
hence is perhaps better suited than
any other foodstuffs for neutralizing
the excessive acidity of cereals. Milk
is a neutral substance; hence the
oatmeal, milk and potato diet of the
Irishman is a well-balanced physio-
logic dietary, and it is doubtless to
this fact that the Irish owe their
great vitality and endurance and,
particularly, their wonderful longev-
ity, which exceeds that of any oth-
er European nation, with the excep-
tion of the natives of Bulgaria,
whose diet is very similar.
A bread and meat dietary, how- .
ever, as has been frequently pointed | sm—— sm
out by McCollum, and, as the writer
has maintained for more than half a
century, is most unwholesome. Bread
supplies acids in excess, and steaks, is a Prescription for

tain a still greater excess of acids.
Many cases of Bright's disease give
a history of liberal meat consump-
tion and scanty use of vegetables
are daily saying to their patients.
«Cut out meats.” Scientific and up-
to-date doctors are beginning to add
to the instruction to avoid meats,
and fruits, and thousands of doctors
“Eat more potatoes.”
Another unphysiologic combina-
tion is the common breakfast dish,
poached egg on toast. Both eggs and
bread are highly acid foods and their
use tends to surcharge the blood and
to burden the kidneys with superflu-
ous work, since one important func- |
tion of these organs is to maintain |
the alkalinity of the blood at a prop-
er level by removing any excess of
acids.
Substituting the potato for bread
we have in the alkaline tuber and
eggs, a neutral combination, since |
the pronounced alkalinity of the po- |
tato will balance and neutralize the |
acidity of the egg. For a complete |
balance, one small potato is required |
for each egg. From the standpoint |
of palatability, the egg-potato com- |
bination is entirely satisfactory.
The effect of a diet upon the alka-
linity of the body fluids, is readily |
shown by the urine. Acid foods in- |
crease the acidity of the urine while
alkaline foods lower the acidity. The
acidity of the urine is thus an indi-
cator of the effect of a diet upon the
