WHAT THE VITAKINESTEACH US "We have dose much to drtva down the death rate is the way of bettering sanitation and such things, but in spite of all this our death rale tor persons oewr forty Is Increasing.' writes Or. Chariee T. Bolduan. dl rector of the. New: TodthnaUh dense menTi bureau of public health. And attention Is called to the fact that overindulgence In proteins (meats, eggs, flsb and the like) Is a big factor In this lncrsase la the death rate of persons over forty years of age. Such statements are frequently seised with avidity by persons of more than average Intelligence and passed from Individual to Individual, slightly embellished with each repetition, until they may become strong Indorse meats-of one or more of the many so called diet systems that every so often sweep over the country leaving a trull of Invalids In their wake. It must be remembered that any marked change In diet or In cooking Is certain to pro duce some result, and change Itself Is often a benefit; but a diet which ad mirably suits one person who Uvea In a certain location and does a certain kind of work may not be adapted to another Individual living under differ ent conditions and doing a different kind of work. The truth of the mat ter Is that man's chances of health are best when be eats with moderation a diet made up of clean, wholesome, ordinary foods, well prepared In the usual wayu Such a diet should In clude some articles to be cooked and others to be eaten raw. such ss bread, cereals, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, milk, butter, cheese and eggs. All these articles should be of good qual ity and free from all dirt, either risi ble or Invisible, should contain no adulterations. Apart from overeating of proteins probably the greater part of our troubles comes from the loss of Im portant elements from our foods in preparing or preeervlng them. These losses have been due to the fact that either we do not know the elements are present or we assume the very minute quantities to be of no conse quence. We are oaly lost beginning tojf rasp the real truth through a study Uf the enzymes, the catalyzers, the vit amin es. the hormones and the action of the ductlesa glands In the body. Tbii world la adjusted to operate un der the driving power of full sunlight. We hare noted that Indian com, for example, grew within a certain period to IS Inches under white glass and In the same period of time only It Inches under red glass, eight Inches under green glass and six Inches under blue glass. The several glasses used In these experiments checked and held back part of the sun energy, as can easily be demonstrated by holding a sheet of white and of colored glass In the hand out in sunlight?the colored glass will become sensibly warmer than the white glass. It Is very evi dent that abstracting from white light a part of the waves produces material changes In plant life. We know that plants cannot thrive and grow without light, and that It Is only in the light with a sapply of the atmospheric gases and of water, and with the green chlorophyl bodies In unhealthy condi tion. that the manufacture of food can go on We also know as (be result of simple experiments that certain solutions of mineral matter must be present to enable the plant to manu facture food. Seedlings can be grown In glass Jars, some In distilled water which is devoid of any minerals, oth ers la distilled water with one or two or all of the necessary salts la solu tion, In order to prove the general facts of nutrition and draw very close analogies between life In that plane and life on our own plane. j Let us oonslder what Is perhaps the most fatal disease that can overtake a plant?chlorosis, or the lack of color ing matter. This disease in all Its es sentials Is very similar In anemia'in the human being. Chlorosis is an ob scure disease, but In most cases It ap pears to be caused by a lack of Iron. Without Iron the human blood Is not rod nor are plant granules green. Gen erally the seedlings attacked by the disease die out very early, but some times sickly whitish leaved specimens struggle along for a little while. The dlssase Is often local and In compound leaves one lepflet here and there may be entirely colorless. It is this type that gives us the gardeners' "varie gated" .varieties where the leaves are mottled or striped with cream colored patches end bands. The green parts there do enough work to carry on the life of ^be Individual while the color less parts are nonproducers. If this Is not oarrled too far the plants can ba quite healthy, but If the attempt Is made to brood an entirely white rocs It will die of malnutrition A If EXPEDITION to lit.

The trip Involve* a climb of 6,000 feet?vertical?which to ao compitched to a tramp of nine mile* from the termtou* of the Sierra Madro car* of the Pacific Electric system. Thto to called the Sierra Madre trail and to uaually taken by foot passen gera or by thoae who chooee to make burro* or mule* do the fatigue work, write* w. a Knight to the Los An gela* Time*. ?* But there to bealde* a ?o-called auto mobile roadway, of greater length and eaaler grade. It was built and to kept to good repair by the Carnegie Institu tion for the transportation of building, materia! and also to bring up supplies to the astronomers, for although the latter devote their tjme to the contem plation of the heavens and seem to be dwelling to far-off celestial apheres. yet they are actually human and have cravings that, can only be satisfied by consuming things of terrestrial growth. Observatory Will Be Masai vs. Dp this Carnegie road 200 ton* of atesl have been transported for the construction of the new mammoth ob servatory which to to house the great 100-Inch reflecting telescope, and be fore the observatory to completed that gigantic building will consume an ad ditional 600 ton# of structural steel. This will Include the grand dome 100 feet to diameter, whose topmost point will be 120 feet from the ground. It will be by far the moat massive build- I lent, and doubly appreciated. Tor there was not a trickle of water on the whole route. But the scenery was magnificently grand There were fascinating vlewk )f Alpine peaks, some of them wooded in the summit with giant pines and ipruees, others bastione>] by granite nags which pierced the elear blue sky, ind on either band deep verdure-clad sanyons leading off through intermln ible vistas to other lofty mountain 'tnges. And a special charm of these teauttful stones was their endless rarlety. At four o'clock, when the sun began to throw long shadows from the tnag ilflcent peaks across the dark cab irons below, one of the party eg rlaimed "Why, yonder Is the tower elaseope on the distent summit of Ht. Wilkon," and It was still three nllee away. At last, after ten milee >f strenuous hiking, tke camp was reached, and though all felt well paid ly the line scenery they had enjoyed, they Were dubious about recommend ng the ridge trail to other pilgrims In lulriug about the route. Glimpse of Delavan's Comet. At 1:10 a. n. young Baumgardt, who a ah enthusiast, summoned the en terprising membera to rise and get a glimpse of Delavan's remarkable com st, which has now been visible to dk ro no mere for many months. It la mid way between brilliant Cape Ha and the rwlna, Though but dimly visible to he naked eye It IS flashed out With treat beauty In Baumgardt'a powerful Jlnocular telescope, and has a broad ?mb-like tall, but had then developed iny long streamers Presently the comet began to fade n the approaching dawn and then tax ever pluiied for. and devoted to, astronomical use. The member* of the Astronomy club climbed the trail ander the direction of Secretary Tbomas P. Smith. Mr. BauAgardt, con of B. R. Baumgardt, lectured, and hie friend' brought up two fine portable teleccopee which proved Qf great aervice on the moun tain. But there wac another party whoae adventure* are worth noting. It waa conducted by Valletta L. Benedict Thi member* of thi*.little group ven tured over another trail which proved to be full of aurprtae*. They went up the l(t Lowe electric road to Al pine Tavern, S.000 feet elevation, and from there etarted for lit. Wll*on by one of the itandard forest trail* along the dividing ridge. Long and Tiring Hike. An opttmiitic ~ *1gnboard near the tavern read* "six mile*," but who could ?utpect that it meant by air line, a* the aeroplane fllea? After hiking along their serpentine course for two hours, alternately climbing steep grades and dropping to lower levels, they came to another sign which read "Ave and one half miles." Overcome with the humor-df the situation, they settled in a shady nook, opened out their noon lunch, which waa washed down with a bottle of Bryan beverage thoughtfully provided by the presi the party adjourned to Echo Rock to wltneea the novelty of a sunrise over the San Antonio range of mountains. A level stratum of cloud resembling molten gold adorned the summit. Sud denly a rtm of translucent silver and then a sphere of pore undaxxllng light rose as If It were a gigantic .bubble Issuing from the cloud. Words fall to express the exquisite beauty of the scene. It well compensated for the toilsome climb of, the previous day and the broken slumbers of the morn ing. From Echo Rock the party went over to the snow telescope, which lies prone, 100 feet In length, along the edge of the cliff. The sun's rays are directed into It by an Ingenious mech anism of two plane' mirrors. The Image of the sun, projected on a screen visible to all. Is seven inches in di ameter. Next they visited the great tower telescope near by. The massive double tower?one within the other to pre vent vibration of the inner one?rises 160 feet from the ground where lis four steel columns rest on piers which reach down te the granite base of the mountain. Beneath the surface Is a fit 78 feet In depth at the bottom of which there Is a chamber Where the temperature Is practically uniform, and the reeults of observa tions are accurately registered.

PROPER USE OF WASTE FATS Saved From Any Kind e? Meat Thay Ara Valued by tha Economical v Housewife. Have you ever noticed bow enticing ?Weat poutoaa ara whan served with Maryland pork and beanaT Somehow the pork graaaaa make thang aaam more Ilka a.deaaort than a plain vege table. Neither cream, lard, butter, nor beef cdh take the place of pork tat for aweet potatoes. Pork fat __ also glvee a tang to beets, parsnips and xaxtaU whwh esnirut 'Wdutnicatea In" any other way. The waste fat from beef makes a better cake, a better pie erust and better candles than the highest priced but ley. Cookies, puddings and cakes hare a savortneea so enticing whan made of beet drippings that not even the most delinquent appetite can say them nay. The fats, oils and greases from Iamb or veal all lend themselves to tl^e economical housewife as a great Improvement over oostly batters and cheap lards for frying, broiling and preparing food In all sorts of other ways. One part of these fats will give a happier flavor 'to llah, beans, carrots and peas than ten times as much butter. Indeed, a spoonful of It will do the work of a whole pound of butter. Then ther. are the "gmbe." so called by the Jewish oooks who re move the fat and grease from geese and fry it with the goose flesh Into crisp, brittle flat cakes. The grease from the geese and other fowl l( wide ly used 1A Jewish homes. Some stu dents think Its use has much to do with the relative absence of wasting distempers among the people of this ancient nation. V - IDEAS FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER Seven Little Things of Moment With Which All of Them May Not Be Acquainted. When It la necessary to boll a cracked egg add a little vinegar to the water. This will prevent the white from boiling out. If you have dffflculty in cleaning the candle grease from metal candle sticks try setting the candlesticks In a hot oven fpr a few minutes. This will melt the grease. Of course, care must be taken not to leave them In too long or the candlesticks will melt as well as the grease. If you wet a spoon before using ft to serve Jelly you will And the Jelly will not .stick to It and the serving Is more easily accomplished. To clean fly specks from varnished wood, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in equal parts of skim milk and water. * To pick up little pieces of broken glass, wet a woolen cloth; lay It on the floor where the fragments are and pat it The^ little particles will ad here to the damp cloth. The aids of new potatoes Is more -easily removed by-rubbing with a stiff little brush than by scraping with a knife. If curtain rods or poles are rubbed with bard soap before being put up, the curtains will slip on them easily. Braham Fig Gems. Scald one cupful of sweet milk, then add one-fourth cupful of granulated sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one heaping tablespoonful of butter. Stir until the sugar Is- dissolved and the butter Is melted, then set aside to cool In another dish mix one and one-half cupfuls of graham flour1, one cupful of white flour and two and one half rounded teaspoonfuls of baking powder together. When the milk la cold, add It to the dry Ingredients with one well beaten egg. Beat hard for a couple of minutea then atlr in one-half cupful of flge chopped fine and dredged with flour. F1U hot greased gem pans half full and bake in a hot oven until golden brown. These are delicious with Jam or mar malade. homemade Wall Papsr Cleaner. Tie following mixture ia more easily applied, and does tile work more effec tive!/ than any of the baked prepara tions that are sold at a good price for a small quantity.?one generally paying the sv,ui for the label and tin, to box It up tor sale. Take one part sal am moniac, four parts rye flour, and water enough io form a dough, then Use on the soiled parts as If (he mixture was a sponge. As the dirt Is transferred from the vail to the cleaner, turn the soil In, and work out a clean part of the mixture A little practice will soon show how easily this Is accomplished, without wasja to the mixture.' Never continue rubbing the soiled surface of the cleaner unto the wall. Canning Hint. A vegetable soup Is one of the best canned helps to the housekeeper. Cut lilto small pieces some tomatoes, onions, parsley, carrots, sweet pep pers, okra, etc. Blew together .nptil thorpugly done. To each pint Jar add half a teaspoonfu) of salt. Flavor With celery. These soup vegetables are so delicious that fust Hie addition of boiling water makes a very palatable soup. Two large teaspoonfu Is of beef extract to a quart of boiling water and a Jar of the canned vegetables make a delicious soup. Polnssttla Salad. Scald and peel small round toma toes. With a sharp knife cut each one through from th? top down to the bot tom, making the tomato to look like s polnsettia blossom Take yolk of hard boiled egg and add to firm mayonnaise. Fill center with this mixture and sprinkle, top with more egg yolk. Use ?having of cuonmber rind to represent leaf or stalk. A few powdered pis tachio nuts can also be sprinkled on the center of thb tomato. Stiff Slbbona. Starch spoils ribbons, as It soon makes thsm look old. The beet thing to use for stiffening ribbons or laos Is *o put several lumps of sugar In hot water aud let them dissolve, thee put the ribbons or lace In the water. This will make thorn Just a nice stiffness, and will not Spoil 'ihem as starch rfi'f I '..via - ' A | BRUSSELS'/INTREPID BURGOMASTER " EVfiff dew U that' which envelops Europe has lt? light ?pots, atii) one of the brightest of these Is Adolphe Max, the Irrepressible ber gomsster of Brussels. He had no chance to fight for his city, because It was surrendered to the Qermans without defense, but he net the con querors with undaunted spirit, though they locked him up as surety for the war tax of 59,000,000 francs, which was levied on Brussels. II. Max paid 3,500,000 francs Of this sum and gave notes for the remainder up to 20,900, 000 francs, but later he refused to re deem the no tax. so he was carried a prisoner to the fortress of Namur. It is related of Burgomaster Max that when the German commander entered his office to discuss with him the terms on which Brussels should yield and the methods by which the cttlsens should be restrained from at tacking the Invaders, the representa tive of the kaiser bore himself with even more haughtiness than might properly be expected from a Victorians enemy. His honor, the burgomaster, promptly stiffened up and prepared to meet the Teuton on his own ground. The officer strode up to a table In the center of the room -and with a flourish drew his sword and slammed tt down, merely as a preliminary. M. Max Immediately and with as big flourish drew from his waistcoat pocket a fountain pen and slammed tt down beside the sword. The officer saw the point and the Interview proceeded without further friction. PRIME MINISTER TAKES THE FIELD } ?; Gen. Louis Hctha, premier o( the South African Union, has taken the field In supreme command of the op eration* against German Southwest Africa, and the rerolt of Colonel Marlta and hie forces hastened the movements of the former leader of Boer armies. Before the Boer war General Botha was unknown outside the Transvaal, but his dashing work In that oonfllct soon made his name a household word. He taught the British generals some severe lessons In open field fighting and In artillery work, and earned their respect and even their liking. Kitchener's dealings with Botha during that war were always frank and cordial. At one meeting?a hasty conference of two hours' duration when some glimmering of peace ap peared on the horlson?"K. of K.'s" temper might have been tried to snap piitg-back point, but It stood the test. "i mu*t get on now," he said; "I have an armored train to catch seven miles down the line." "Dog't hurry away on that account." answered Botha, with a sullle; "we caught It flrst thing this morning." - Since then the English trains that General Botha has had to catch barn been boat-trains to England. No coronation Is oo'mplete without him. He la recognised ss a great statesman; he has come to be regarded as nee of the most remarkable man In the empire. He has been pyemler of the Union of 8outh Africa slnoe 1910. MAHARAJAH JAM IS LOYAL ?i ! Not long ago a poor atndent and tutor at Cambridge, but now one of the greateat and rlcheat of the prtncee ot India, the Maharajah Jam Saheb of Jamnagar, has demonstrated hla loyalty to the Imperial government by offering for service against Germany a force of 1,000 Infantry, tiro squad rons of lancers and It motors, la his college days the Maharajah Jam was known as Ranjt, and under that name became a world famous cricketer. Just after his graduation at Cam bridge the late maharajah of Jamna gar disowned him as his heir and dis continued the large allowance the young man had been receiving. With out rank or money, he was compelled to earn his living, which he did after a fashion by writing on sports and giving lessons In Htndn and Sanscrit and In Indian history at Cambridge. Then the throne to which he had for merly been heir became vacant and he was placed upon lu He now poe Besses a number of magnificent palace*, hi* strongboxes are overflowing with, money and jewels, and hla income 1* *o large that whenever he revisits Eng land he leaeee some one of the country** finest country houses. The Maha rajah Jam is as popular as ever in England, and does not fall in gratitude the nation that educated him and put him on the throne that was rightfully his. I ! MRS. LITTLETON WINS LONG FIGHT Mr*. Martin W. Littleton, wife of Congressman Littleton of New York, has won her three years' campaign for government ownership/ ef Monti cello, the home of T Romas Jefferson, of Virginia, author of the Declaration of Independence, of the statute of Virginia for religious freedom, father of the University of Virginia, and founder of the Democratic party of the United States. The other day Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan penned an appeal to Congressman Jefferson M. Levy of New York, owner of tb? prop erty. asking him to consent to the change of ownership and Mr. Levy agreed to pert with the property for 1600,000, though It cost him fl.000,000. Mr. Levy Inherited the old home of Jefferson from his ancle, who was a captain In the navy and who bought It from the owner, who purchased It at public auction after Jefferson's death, when Jefferson's daughter, un able to meet her debts, was obliged to sell It sway from tbe family When Mrs, Littleton started her campaign she pat out a brochure enti tled "One Wish," and signed by "Peggy O'Brien," her pen name.
