LTo Live—We Must Have a Never-Failing Supply of Lime! I NO HEALTH WITHOUT ESSENTIAL MINERAL **Liine Starvation” a Condition to Be Avoided, Warns Dr. Copeland, for of All the Chemical Elements^ of the Body This One Is Most Important. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Health, Fexo York City. MAN cannot thrive without a never-failing supply of lime. So important is this mineral to oar physical welfare that doctors are harping more and more on the dangers of “lime starvation.” Each of us must have fifteen grains of lime every day. How simple living would be if we could have the druggist weigh out for us and place in a capsule, exactly the quantity of each mineral required by our ever-changing bodies. Then, at the stroke of twelve, or at some other convenient time, we could swallow our daily ration, take a couple of glasses of water and call it a dayl cut living will never be so simple as this. Henry Ford talks about the “synthetic cow,” but , the time will never come when foods as we now understand them, will be forgotten. We cannot hope to have synthetic or artificial foods take the place of the familiar dishes of our dining tables. The lime from the quarry or lime-kiln is not acceptable as a food. While this particular mineral might be used to supplement the “nat* no rnoci avh ural” lime we get in our vegetables and milk, it , DR. COPELAND cannot do for us what the organic lime is cap able of accomplishing. One of the marvels of Nature is that reaching-down by the roots of plants and extracting from the soil the chemicais essential to their Jfcrhwth. The cattle graze upon the grasses of the field, taking into |;xnv‘> Doaiei me nunc raj eieir.eme* which are transferred by the chem istry of life into organic substances, capable of sustaining the life of human beings. Through the flesh and milk of these animals we get the lime and other substances which snake possible our welfare and activi ties. Talk about gold and platinum, dia monds and emerald^, as precious metals or precious stones! The lime And phosphorus, iron and Iodine, the potash and all the rest—these are indeed the precious substances of Mother Earthl Without them man would be poor indeed and destined to almost Immediate death. Of all the chemical elements of the human body, lime is theVnost Im portant. We must have three times as much lime as all the other mineral substances combined. It la said that the average person has In his tissues four or five pottnds of lime. Most of It Is fotind In the bones and teeth, a considerable part of It In the backbone If you are really worth your salt! The muscles owe their tone to the Ume given them by ths blood. They could not work without It. If you Are soft and flabby, weak and use less. It may well be that your Urns supply Is not what It should be. Your heart’s beating depends up ©n the lime In your system. It is Absolutely essential to your very •xistence. How are we to get an ample Amount of lime? Time does not permit a complete Answer to this question. Another day I shall go Into this fully. L*t me say now that the main sources ©f the lime supply are milk and a milk product like cheese. Green ▼egetables. eggs, the cereals, dried fceans and peas, lean meat and nuts like almonds, are rich In lime. Apples and other fruits carry It. must make sure to get our full supply of this precious sub stance. ] Answers To~Health~~Oneries : B.

IN the realm of love there are many mon archs, scepter-wielding and stern. But there is only a single queen, and her crown b motherhood. Fortified by love, enriched by the gems of happiness, serenity and peace, the Queen of the World rules with a smile. She has no need of armament, for is not love Invincible? She dis dains material riches, for her coffers are filled with more satisfying metal—a baby’s smile, a lover’s homage. She seeks no other lands to conquer—this queen. For love is her domain, a baby her “captive.” And as she envelops the gurgling prisoner in her caresses she croons a lullaby of peace; she has no battles to win, no subjects to subdue.

For that’s exactly the role you have been playing. And besides, you are too young to be thinking serious thoughts of love. If the boy is such a cad as your letter indicates, you should be glad to be rid cf him. In stead of pining and moaning over him. I’m sure you have Jots of other friends and I'd suggest that you go with them and let him seek hie own friends. Have too much pride to let him feel that whenever he feels like coming back he can claim your en tire time. Put your mind to your studies and prepare yourself for whatever Itfs may hold for you.

By WINIFRED BLACK. THE woman who is always well reached out and took another roll, then poured herself a second cup of coffee, and leaned on the table—-isn't it reprehenaible, how we all lean on the table these days, and anyone who didn’t keep her hands in her lap every minute when she wasn't using her fork would have been ahot at sunrise ten short yean ago. “Well,” said the woman who is never ill, “here I am, breakfast as usual, letters, a tele gram or so, the morning paper, and one or two friends calling up before the day has really begun. “Wouldn’t It have been queer if I had been out of it all—once and for all. “No breakfast, no glass of orange Juice, no telephones, no letters—nothing but flowers and tears, ana a few nice speeches and a song or two, just to make everybody feel a little worse. “Last night I woke up in the night and my heart was playing the saxophone, or it felt that way anyhow, and suddenly I seemed way off from everything, nobody mattered any more—what difference did it make what the new color for Spring was going to be, and a lot I cared about who would entertain the bridge club the next time. "Going, going so fast, all the bright, glittering tinsel thing we call kvuik—supping —uic old frienas, the new friends, the old ties, the old memories, the new hopes that sing so gavly in the heart—forgotten all the pretty speeches, gone the cadences of a voice so dearly loved—good-bye to gaiety, good bye to laughter, good-bye to the singing of the heart under the moon—no more breaking of the waves on the white sand, no more singing of the wind in the trees. “Well—there will be one to mourn me, the old dog would howl and frighten all the neigh bors—children, home, fnends slipping away, slipping away, everything that was so Impor tant yesterday—less than no Importance now. “What a lot of mistakes, what a double handful of follies, how many deep regrets—who would come to the funeral, I wonder? “Well, I hope someone would have sense enough to tele graph my husband and tell him to meet me on my way across the continent as he has done so many, many times before. Only this time I could not smile when he spoke to me. No, I could no longer be a torment and a grief and a puzzle—even to him. “But somehow on that last ride, e\*en though we are es tranged, even though I have al ► most forgotten how he looks, somehow I hoped, lyiny there in the night, alone and afraid, that he would heed the summons and come across the world to me and say good-bye and put a rose in my hands—and now here 1 am perfectly well, and if hus band should walk in at the door, I wouldn’t know what on earth to do with him—and was it migonette or lilacs I wanted for my last wreath—what a joke it all is, anyhow-” And the woman who is always well laughed and took a sip of coffee. “Let’s see,” she said, "half East nine, why it’s early yet, alf across the world where my heart is, they won’t be getting up—well, anyhow—she lifted her coffee cup end made a little gesture of salutation. “Here’s to life—and lore and laughter— “I’m glad I’m not done with them all, quite yet.” Amusing, wasn’t it? But somehow—I thought of the man she once loved so dearly long, long ago, and wondered if, when he is suddenly ill and thinks he’s going to die, will he remem ber her and hope that she will come to drop a rose upon his grave.

ARY?" Noel Vsrttssn’si lyl vole* was little more! than a choked whisper as he put the question, and with a lively dread of what shock the next tew minutes might bring him. I smothered my reluctance to tell him of the betrothal 1 had sanctioned but a few hours before. If Georges and Mary should come Into the room. 1 did not believe the young and arrogant prince could resist the temptation to announce the engagement to Noel. His gloat ing would not be boastful but real, and I told myself fiercely that I would not permit the sensitive boy facing me to undergo that ordeal without being prepared for it. "Yes. Noel." 1 said softly, but rapidly, “that is Mary's voles and Prince Georges is with her. Listen to me!" I made the words emphatic. "There is something you must know before they come in. but you must not take it seriously. Mary found out yesterday—never mind bow— that Princess Olina had asked you to marry her. and that you had con sented. In a fit of pique—1 am sure it was nothing else—she promised to marry Prince Georges, and they are going to announce it at a little dinner soon. Don't look Ilk# that!"

And even as Noel—obeying my behest—gathered strength from somewhere to draw a mask of composure over his agitated face. Mary's voles sounded again, this time coaxlngly. “Georges, dear. I know I'm an awful pest, but really can’t we go somewhere else? I—I—don’t like— this place. I—I—can’t stand It to— dine here." "As you wish, of course, dearest."

It was not until then that Noel found voice, and the mournful ca dence of his tons, the suffering in ' his eyes caught at my throat de spite my annoyance at his helpless hopelessness concerning Mary. ► "Did you hear her?" he asked miserably "She said she — " Proof of Love. " 'Didn't like the place and couldn't stand It here.'" I repeated glibly as he stopped. "Yes. I heard her. and if you want proof of her caring for you Instead of Prince Georges, you couldn’t have a better one." Hla ayes, big, bewildered, searched mine. “I—I don't see," he stammered. "You and she have been here to gether. haven't you?" I persisted ruthlessly, feeling a bit like a vivl sectlonlst "And the memory of that visit la—a somewhat—tender one?" Ths red which dyed his face and neck was my answer, and I hurrifd on. "Than dcn't you see why she can't ‘stand If to dine here?" I per sisted. “Memories are swaying her. too. and she cannot bear to dine with another admirer in the same place." His eyes lightened for a moment, then shadowed again. "But that doesn't alter the fact that she s engaged to him." he said. “And it depends upon yourself ab solutely whether she goes on being engaged to him." I retorted. He straightened himself, startled. "What do you mean?" he asked. Some Sound Advice. "Simply this." I told him. “Mary Just now la chagrined by your en gagement, and now that she has found out Georges’ Identity—she did not know it when she accepted him —she Is a bit dazzled by the notion of a possible throne—you know what gossamer ar.d moonshine a roman tic girl's notions are. But she Is so high-spirited and he so masterful that the glamour won’t last many weeks—you see I speak confidently. The one thing for you to do is to assert yourself when that time comes and sweep her off her feet." He stiffened involuntarily.

I said Impatiently. “In Mary's orchestra you are not only the first violin but the ’cello, the trombone and the drum, only she doesn’t quite realize It yet Are you going to risk losing her and your happiness because of a bit of foolish pride?" "No. oh! no." he answered. "Tell me what you wish me to do.” "For the present nothing save play the devoted lover to Princess Olina," I answered. "But—” he stammered. "I don't understand.
