FOODS THEY BUILD OR DESTROY Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the Things You Eat. (Copyright, 1816, by Alfred W. McCann.) CHAPTER 20 A simple experiment that reveals subtle activity of mineral salts in viu; life processes of the human body. Here is a little experiment which can be performed in the laboratory of any high school by a boy or girl. 3t will help us to grasp some idea of the remarkable conduct of the miner tils after they have been introduced into the human body. First eat a tablet of citrate of li thium. Then take a clean platinum wire. Hold the wire in a blue Bun -Ben flame. It will be seen that the ■wire gives no coloration to the flame. Now pass the platinum wire along the skin of the forehead or across the palm; return it to the flame and note the beautiful yellow fire of sodium, showing this mineral at work in the elimination processes of the body. Without sodium to take up the car bonic acid, elaborated through the di gestion of sugars and starches, as a poisonous waste product that must be removed from the body, this acid, bet ter known 41s carbon dioxide, would accumulate in the tissues and destroy them. This is the reason that the excessive use of denatured sugars, table syrups and starches in the diet of America is followed by many seri ous diseases which will be described later on. Sodium is one of the food minerals indispensable to health. The little platinum wire and the Bunsen flame reveal it at work in the performance of one of its many functions. Now take a blue glass, which will lilter out some of the light rays that interfere with our vision, and look through it at the platinum wire in the flame. Note the beautiful lilac flame of potassium, showing this min eral also at work in the elimination processes of the body. A study of the food minerals indi cates very clearly that potassium helps to keep the tissues flexible arid active While at the same time assisting the sodium to carry off the carbonic acid manufactured as one of the end-pro ducts of combustion in the furnaces of life. We shall assume now that a half hour has elapsed since tho tablet of citrate of lithium was consumed. For our purposes it will be well to wait a full half hour.

Again we pass It over the forehead or across the palm of the hand. We place it in the flame. It is colored a vivid red. This is the flame of lithium. In one short half hour the lithium, taken through the mouth, has circulated through all the highways, and byways of the human body and has appeared in Its mar velous Journey upon the surface of the skin. Through this simple little experi ment we obtain a crude idea of some of the hidden forces at work in our bodies. As a rule we give no thought to these forces and so are rarely com petent to challenge the character of this or that food, although it is quite obvious that the forces of life are de rived from food alone. There is much evidence to support the belief that potassium gives life to the nervous system and assists the heart to beat by influencing the re laxabillty of the heart muscles. If the heart did not send the blood into the lungs the body could not and would not obtain the oxygen neces sary to its life, nor could it, through those delicate tissues, which are made up of millions of little valves or filters, dispose of the waste gases which would otherwise poison all its organs and glands. There are many discoveries of science which justify the conclusion that potassium interferes with the hardening Influences that menace muscle, joint, and artery, making the tissues soft and pliable. It has been noted that linen, made 1 from flax grown on granite soil, rich |in potassium, is noted for its supple ness and softness, whereas linen pro duced from flax grown on calcareous ; soil is hard, brittle and of little ; strength. In the month of October, 1915, po itassium sulptassium sulphate was worth about S2OO a ton, as produced from alunite by the United States Smelting Company of Utah. At this price the Armour Fertilizer Company 'purchased its entire, year's potash pro } duction. In spite of the value of po ! tassium salts and the necessity of | 'their presence in fertilizer, in 1915 106 itons of potassium salts were wasted; I daily by the seventy-five distilleries in j j the United States that subject mo lasses to processes of fermentation. A New Orleans company has taken up the process of saving its potassium salts from distillery waste to the con ' federation of which the public has 1 been called by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. The farmer has been taught, through various federal and State bul letins, to fully appreciate the necessity of potassium to the health and vigor I of his plants, yet school children have ! never been taught that when the body cannot secure the quantity necessary to carry on its wonderfully complex duties the heart ceases to serve its master and the body dies. We shall soon consider briefly some jof the other food minerals in their relationship to health and disease and then quickly move on into our work I of disclosing Just how the entire na ] tion is now being deprived of many jof these minerals and, in some in stances, of all of them.

CHAPTER TTl—Judge Healey buys a picture for Alix Lansing. The judge de fends Alan in his business with his em ployers. Lansings, Waynes and Eltons were heavy drinkers in town, but it was a tradition, as Alix knew, that on Red Hill they dropped It—all but the old captain. It was as though, amid the scenes of their childhood, they be came children and just as a French man of the old school will not light a cigarette in the presence of his father, so they would not take a drink for drink's sake on Red Hill. So Alix looked on interestedly as the old butler set glasses and started the port. When it had gone the round Nance stood up, and with her hands on the table's edge, leaned toward them all. For a Wayne, she was very fair. As they looked at her the color swept over her bare neck. Its wave Yeaehed her temples and seemed to stir the clustering tendrils of her hair. Her eyes were grave and bright with moisture. Her lips were tremulous. "We drink to Alan," she said, "today is Alan's birthday." She sat down. They all raised their glasses. Little Clem had no wine She put a thin hand on Gerry's arm. "Please, Gerry, please!" Gerry held down his glass. Clematis dipped In the tip of her little finger, and as they all drank, gravely carried the drop of wine to her lips. As Judge Healey, gray-linired but erect, walked up thp avenue his keen glance fell on Gerry Lansing standing across the street before an art deal er's window. Gerry's eyes were fas tened on a picture that he had long had in mind for a certain nook in the library of the town house. It was the second anniversary of his wedding, and though it was already late in the afternoon Gerry had not yet chosen his gift for Alix. He turned from the picture with a last long look and a shrug and passed on to a palatial jeweler's farther up the street For many years Judge Healey had been foster-father to Red Hill in gen eral and to Gerry in particular. With almost womanly Intuition he read what was in Gerry's mind before the picture and acting on impulse the Judge crossed the street and bought it. While the judge was still in the pic ture shop Gerry came out of the jew eler's and started briskly for home. He had purchased a pendant of bril liants, extravagant for his purse but yet saved to good taste by a simple originality in design. He waited until the dinner hour and then slipped his gift into Alix' hand as they walked down the stairs to gether. She stopped beneath the hall light. "I can't wait, dear, I simply can't." She snapped open the case. "Oh!" she gasped. "How dear! How perfectly dear! You old sweetheart!" She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him twice. Then she flew away to the drawing room in search of Mrs. Lansing and the judge, the sole guests to the little anniversary dinner. Gerry straightened his tie and followed. Alix' tongue was rippling—her whole body was rippling—with excitement and pleasure. She dangled her treas ure before their eyes. She laid it against her warm neck and ran to a mirror. The light in her eyes matched the light in the stones. The judge took the jewel and laid It in the palm of his strong hand. It looked in dan ger of being crushed. "A beautiful thing, Gerry," he said, "and well cho sen. Some poet jeweler dreamed that twining design and set the stones while the dew was still on the grass." After dinner the four gathered in the library, but they were hardly seat ed when Alix sprang up. Her glance had followed Gerry's startled gaze. He was staring at the coveted pi V re he had been looking at in the gallery that afternoon. It hung in the niche In which his thoughts had placed it Alix took her stand before it. She glanced inquiringly at the others. Mrs. Lansing nodded at the judge. Alix turned back to the picture and gravity stole into her face. Then she faced the judge with a smile. "We live," she said, "in a Philistine age, don't we? But I've never let any Philistinism drive pictures from their right place in the heart Pictures in art galleries—" she shrugged her pret ty shoulders—"l have not been trained up to them. To me, they are mount ed butterflies in a museum, cut flow ers crowded at the florist's. But this picture and that nook —they have waited for each other. You see the picture nestling down for a long rest and It seems a small thing and then It catches your eye and holds It and you see that it Is a little door that opens on a wide world. It has slipped Into the room and become a part of life." A strange stillness followed on All*' words. To the judge and to Gerry It was as though the picture had opened * window to her mind. Then she closed the window. "Come, Gerry," she said, turning. "Make your bow to the judge and bark." Gerry was excited, though he did not show it. "You have dressed my thoughts In words I can't equal," he said and strolled out on to the little veranda at the back of the house. He wanted to be alone for a moment and think over this flash of light that had followed a (lark day. For the first time in a long while Alix had revealed her self. He did not begrudge the judge his triumph. He knew instinctively that corning from him instead of from the judge the picture would not have Btruck that Intimate spark. The next day Gerry gave his consent to All*' plan for a flying trip abroad, but with a reservation. The reserva tion was that she should join some party and leave him behind. Judge Healey henrd of this arrange ment only when it was on the point of being put into effect. In fact he was only just in time at the steamer to wave good-by to Alix. Leaning over the rail, with her high color, moist red lips and big excited eyes making play under a golden crown of hair and over a huge armful of roses, Alix presented a picture not easily forgot ten. The judge turned to Gerry. "She ought not to be going without you, my boy." "Oh, it's all right," said Gerry light ly. "She's well chaperoned. It's a big party, you know." But during the weeks that followed the judge saw it was not all right. Gerry had less and less time for golf and more and more for whiskys and sodas. The judge was troubled and felt a sort of relief when from far away Alan Wayne cropped into his af fairs and gave him something else to think about. When Angus McDale of McDale and McDale called without appointment the judge knew at once that he was going to hear something about Alan. "Lucky to find you In," puffed Mc- Dale. "It isn't business exactly or I'd have 'phoned. I was just passing by." "Well, what is it?" asked the judge, offering his visitor a fresh cigar. "It's this. That boy, Alan Wayne— sort of protege of yours, isn't he?" "Yes—in a way—yes," said the Judge slowly, frowning. "What has Alan done now?" "It's like this," said McDale. "Six months ago we sent Mr. Wayne out on contract as assistant to Walton. Wal ton no sooner got on the ground than he fell sick. He put Wayne in charge and then he died. Now this is the point Mr. Wayne seems to have pro moted himself to Walton's pay. He had the cheek to draw his own as well. He won't be here for weeks but his accounts came in today. I want to 'know if you see any reason why we shouldn't have that money back, to say the least." The Judge's face cleared. "Didn't he tell you why he drew Walton's pay?" "Not a word. Said he'd explain ac counts when he got here but that sort of thing takes a lot of explaining." "Well," said the judge, "I can tell you. Walton's pay went to his widow through me. I've been doing some puzzling on this case already. Now will you tell me how Alan got the money without drawing on you?" "Oh, there was plenty of money ly ing around. The job cost ten per cent less than Walton's estimate. If he'd come bnck we'd have hauled hiin over the coals for the blunder. There was the usual reserve for work in Inac cessible regions and then the people we did the job for paid ten days bonus for finishing that much ahead of contract time." The judge mused. "Was the Job satisfactory to the people out there?" be asked. "Yes, It was," said McDale bluntly. "Most satisfactory. But there was a funny thing there too. They wrote that while they did not approve of Mr. Wayne's time-saving methods, the finished work had their absolute ac ceptance." The judge was silent for a moment. "You want my advice?" "Yes, not for our own Bake but for Wayne's." "Well," said the judge, "I'm going to give it to you for your sake. When you stumble across a boy than can cut ten per cent off the working and time estimates of an old hand like Walton, you bind him to you with a long con tract at any salary he wants. And just one thing more: when Alan Wayne steals a cent from you or fifty thousand dollars you come to me and I'll pay it" McDale's eyes narrowed and he puffed nervously at his cigar. He got up to take his leave. "Judge," he said, "your head is on right and your heart's In the right place, as well. I begin to see that widow business. Wayne sized us up for a hard-headed firm when it comes to paying out what we don't have to and we are. It wasn't law, but he was right. Walton's work was done just as if he'd been alive. Even a Scotchman can see that. You needn't worry. A man that you'll back for fifty thousand Is good enough for McDale & McDale." viu Lie continued.)

ANCIENT BAGDAD HAD NOTHING ON HERSHEY [Continued Prom Plrst I'agc.] tions will be the construction of a great social center building, a million dollar hotel, a new street car line, two churches, many new residences, a golf course which will rank with the best in the country, and miles of new roads. And all of this construction will be in addition to the operations now underway which include a new home for the Hershey Press, a new carbarn, five buildings which will be uued in the chocolate industry, and buildings and summer gardens on the "acropolis," a high point a short dis tance from Hershey Park and the hill where the town's reservoirs are lo cated. Mr. Horshey's plans, it is under stood. were mapped out by him sev eral years ago and time is all that is required to make the "chocolate city" the town its builder wants it to be. Social Center Building In the very early Spring "work will be started on the social center build ing at the corner of Chocolate and Cocoa avenues. The great new struc ture will have a frontage in Chocolate avenue of 360 feet and will run back along Cocoa avenue for a distance of 240 feet. The building will be five stories high and will house a theater, three cafes, community room, barber shop, Turkish baths and showers, swimming pools, bowling alleys, pub lic library, social room, game room, moving picture theater, gymnasium, offices, committee rooms, exhibition rooms, running track, fencing room, handball court, musician's gallery and 150 bedrooms, many of which will be provided with outdoor sleeping porches. The fifth floor will be used as a hospital. The great structure will be built around the old Derry township school, which now occu pies a part of the plot. When the new building is completed the school house will be torn down and in its place a beautiful court with fountains and shrubbery will be built. When this building is finished, ac cording to the present plans, work will be started on the new million dollar hotel, which will help make Hershey a resort much like the sum mer resorts in many parts of the. country. Hotels, such as will be built here, are supported to a large extent by a population which travels from one summer spot to another. Of course, there must be something to interest these tourists and Hershey is an ideal center of many points of interest. The majority of such travel ers take their own cars with them, so that while here they will be within short riding distance of the Capitol at Harrisburg, Lancaster county, the richest agricultural county in the United States, the beautiful Cumber land Valley, the battlefield at Gettys burg and a half dozen ctties. In fact there is enough within easy riding distance of Hershey to keep any per son on the go for more than a week. Then, too, there are dozens of points of interst here in the town and plans are now being made for the building of one of the best golf courses in the country. It is understood that when the new hotel and golf course are completed, Mr. Hershey will make an effort to have the international golf matches played here. During the coming Spring and sum mer, too, four houses will be built in the eastern section of Hershey and each will cost from $7,000 to ?15,- WATCH SORE THROATS because swollen glands or inflamed membranes often alTect other tissues and lung trouble easily follows. As Nature's corrector of throat troubles the pure cod liver oil in Scott's Emulsion is speedily converted into germ-resisting tissue; its tested glycer ine is curative and healing, while this wholesome emulsion relieves the trouble and upbuilds the forces to resist j tubercular germs and avert the weak- j ening influence which usually follows. ' If any member of your family has a j tender throat, get a bottle of Scott's Emulsion to-day. Physicians prescribe ! it to avert throat troubles, overcome i bronchial disorders and strengthen i the lungs. No alcohol or harmful j drugs. Always insist on Scott's. 1 Scott ft Uowuc, Btoomfield, N. ]. 15-32 000. Dozens of other homes will be built in various sections of the town, so that in the Pall Hershey's residen tial section will take on an altogether new appearance. Then, too, within the year, it is quite likely that the town will have two new churches. Mr. Hershey has already made offers of ground and both have been accepted. Deeds will probably be tranferred within the next few weeks. One site, at the extreme west end of Chocolate avenue, was offered to the United Brethren con gregation and a site in Cocoa avenue, at the corner of a street, not yet named, has been tendered the Catholic diocese of Harrisburg. Bishop Shan ahan has expressed his thanks for the gift and it is believed that during the summer work will be started on a chapel. The United Brethren con gregation will erect a $60,000 edifice and the church board is already work ing on plans for the structure. The Hershey plans also call for the building of a new street car line from here to Jonestown, in Lebanon coun ty. When work on this will be start ed no person appears to know, but it will be one of the big developments of the next year or two. At the pres ent time a great reinforced concrete structure to be used as the carbarn of the Hershey Railways Company is be ing erected at the western end of the town. The homo of the Hershey Press which will be finished during the com ing summer is one of the most modern buildings of its kind in the country and in addition to the printing of the newspaper, all of the chocolate com pany's job work will be done there. It is also reported that plans are be ing talked of for the publication of a national monthly magazine. It is said that a part of the new printing building will be used as a bakery, so that the town will not have to rely on the outside for its bread, cakes and pastry.

One of the buildings will be used as the milk house and it will be double the size of the building which it will replace. Daily 75,000 quarts of milk will be handled in the building. Another big improvement here will come with the completion of the new home of the Hershey Zoo. The exhibit here is conceded to be the largest free exhibits State. The new struc ture will be twice as large as the ori ginal building and when it is finished many more animals will be secured. It is expected the building will be ready for exhibition purposes about. May 30. In addition to all of the buildings, many new roads will be constructed through Hershey and the territory roundabout during the coming sum mer, so that for months to come this community will be one of the busiest in the country.
